I'm in! Sounds like a great plan! :)

I would like to lose my gut also! I''ve heard great things about planks. And I do them often. It's when your body is in a pushup position. And the only thing touching the floor are your forearms and toes. The position makes you have to use your abs. One of my trainer pals suggested holding the position for 30 seconds, and…

Is this a joke??? Please expain. Thanks! (coming from an almost daily tilapia eater) :-)

Wow! How awesome! I was actually suprised by this. Didn't know you used to be in the 200''s. Thanks for this post. Very inspiring! :)

WHOA! Those are amazing results! I need to buy that Dvd!!

Princess Jasmine sounds Ca-yoot! So far I plan on being a sultry flapper girl! But I also want to dress up as a sexy angel for hubby ;)

You look great! And you have that look of C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E written all over your face. Way to go!!

Congrats! Running is one of the best workouts!!

Yay!!! That is so great! I remember the first time that I ran my first mile. I never ran, but like you made the decision to start running. Now I'm able to run 2 miles without stopping. My goal is to be able to run 3-4 miles and do a 5k marathon someday. Your time actually is not bad at all! And to already be running a mile…

Awesome words!

Tell me about it! I got measured at Victoria Secrets yesterday for the first time since I've started losing weight. I have gone down two bra sizes already! But I actually was happy with that! And luckily I'm still the same cup size. I still have 30 more pounds to go until my goal weight. So hopefully the final shrinkage…

Politeness Intelligence Height..... I'm a sucker for tall men :-)

This is the deal..... it's called IGNORANCE! People don't realize that it's possible to lose weight without starving yourself or taking some pill. It's like a huge shock for people to hear the words "exercise" and "healthy eating." Then when you finally lose the weight in a healthy way you get criticized for losing too…

You are looking awesome! And you're such a supportive pal! :)

I have trouble drinking water also. Except when I'm working out or am really hot. But when I'm at home I often use the crystal light 5 cal packages for most of my meals. It helps out a lot.

My Chick's Bad by Ludacris. Love it!

My goal weight is based on my BMI. Look up BMI on the internet. It will calculate what a healthy weight is based on your height. A healthy/normal weight for me is considered 170 and I'm 5/10. So far that's my goal weight. But once I get 185 I will see if I want to go lower. Hope this helps!

I usually consume from 130-150 grams of protein daily, which is a lot! Try these food items: Boneless and skinless chicken breast, Protein shakes (1.5 or 2 scoops of whey protein powder mixed with skim milk and some type of fruit. Blend) Turkey burgers (put on whole wheat bread or bun) Talapia or salmon (tons of protein)…

Great info! Thanks!

Yeah, I don't think that your elliptical machine is accurate. Are you moving at a pace where you're sweating a lot? At the gym, I usually burn around 400 calories doing the elliptical machine for 30 minutes. Which is around what MFP says. If I were you I would invest in a good hear rate monitor to wear while you're on your…

I have chocolate also! I blend it with 1/2 or 1 cup of soy milk, and 1/2 cup of blueberries.

I have a protein smoothie everyday. 1.5 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder, 1/2 cup of blueberries, 1/2 cup of soy milk, 1/2 cup of water and ice if you want. Then blend. It's delicious to me!!

I run on the treadmill three of the five days that I work out. I actually did not do C25k, but when I first started out I sucked at running! So I started out walking at like a 3.5-3.8 speed. Then when I moved up to running I started out at a 4.5 speed. I started out doing half a mile then moved up to a full mile. Now over…

I do most of my exercising at the gym. My two oldest go to school. And my 2 year old daughter comes with me and stays in the gym daycare while I work out. Now all the kids are on summer vacation and they all come with me. It's a family affair!!

I love this post! I started out at 233 pds, and I am now at 203. I'm so happy to be four pounds away from onederland. :) We can do it! Oh and I sent you a friend request!

I upped mine yesterday. I don't know if you also work out. But my calories were set at 1,300 and I work out M-F. In May I didn't lose any weight. So these last few weeks I started eating back almost all of my exercise calories so that I was netting 1,200, and WHA- LA! I started losing again at a fast pace. Due to that, I…

Thanks. Great info! :laugh:

Six Star Pro Nutrition Elite Series Professional Strength - Whey Protein + Plus Triple Chocolate. It was around $25 at Walgreens. I believe it's around 160 cals per scoop. But for extra cal's I will use 1.5 and blend it with 1/2 cup of soy milk, and 1/2 cup of blueberries. It's delicious! It sounds expensive but it comes…
