By working your large muscle groups (your legs) while working your arms your heart rate will go up while weight training. Try getting in a squat while doing bicep curls. Or going down into a squat and coming up with an over-head press. Or rows while in a partial lunge position keeping all your weight on your front leg. If…

How inspiring! You look great. I can't believe what a difference that last 8lbs made!

Apples and almond butter is one of my favorites! Luna bars are also delish especially for a quick on the go snack! They come in a bunch of different flavors, I never get tired of them! Almonds- I love almonds. Raw ones and coco roasted almonds. If you like tuna, they make an albacore sandwich ready packs and they are only…

My name is Sara, I have a 1 month old named Paislie. I gained every bit of 65 lbs during pregnancy and this is the first time in my life I've ever been over 200. I want to be healthy again- for her, for my husband and for my confidence. My self esteem is at an all time low. It sucks but each and everyday- I'm making…

My husband asked me the night before last if I wanted to work out with him- (I had already worked out that day) I told him sureeee! Even though I didn't. We were looking at pictures of ourselves the summer before our wedding. We were a gorgeous couple. Both fit, I was skinny- he was buff. He said it himself- it was when he…

Seriously? You can eat under 1000 calories a day and survive? Good luck keeping your weight off.When you decide to splurge... It's going to be tough to keep that off. What's the point of setting a 'goal' of you still try to leave 150 cals/day? And what kind of meal is less than 250 calories? Your starving yourself!…

Great way to look at it! I don't want to miss a beat of my daughters life. I don't want to spend it hiding because I don't like the way I look. I want to be confident. And the happiness will follow. Thanks for posting this- it's a good reminder of why I'm doing this.

I'm curious about this as well! It's hard to find healthy food to eat up all those calories!

Hello ladies, I'm 24 and I have a little girl who is a almost 1 month old. I gained 65 lbs during my pregnancy and am now busting my butt to get back in shape. I previously lived a very healthy lifestyle, plenty of exercise & lots of healthy foods- but at some point I gave up. Now I have a closet full of clothes that don't…

My aunt did this, she had been obese the majority of her life and found out that she had lead poisoning which wouldn't alow her body to release fat. Then found out she could keep the eggs and peanuts but gluten, refined and limited sugars, soy and dairy she removed. She then went paleo and has lost over 100lbs, she had…

I always gained a few pounds during that time of the month but they always did come off! Give it your all through the hard times and its rewarding. I'm not looking forward to my first cycle. It's been 10 Months, I forgot what it was like! But thAts what makes women so tough!

Exercise! I have an infant and she wakes up twice every night. I don't feel sleep deprived during the day but I'm not always motivated to burn off my extra energy by working out- although I do it anyway! I enjoy heathy foods. And you can indulge on heathy foods and its guilt free. I think for me, eating healthy makes me…

The last 10 are always the hardest! Congratulations on making it this far, it's a tough job juggling being a mommy, a maid, a chief and an athlete! As for your tummy pooch, just remember how amazing it is to grow a little human in there? It's hard on your body, embrace what you've created. As for me, I can't wait to be 150…

At one point (previous to having a baby and gaining a ton of weight) I kicked up my exercise to where I was burning 1000 cals plus every work out. There came a point in my career that I didn't have the time to do that 5 days a week. As soon as that happened, I packed on the pounds quickly. If your injuring your self, slow…

Great job! It's amazing what you can get accomplished in 2 months!

Wow, isn't it amazing. Can you imagine carrying that around all day? Congrats on your loss. Great milestone!

My grocery store has a low-sodium option for lunch meatS and turkey bacon. I cook a bunch of chicken breast over the weekend and divide them up for lunch. Sometimes on a sandwich, salad or in a wrap! Sodium is in anything and everything processed. So your going to have to pick your battles on which food is worth it and…

My max hr is about 185-190 at the very top end. It usually takes me about 15-20 minutes before I hit my max. I have a polar hr monitor that I love! You might look into investing in one. It calculates calories burned, max and average hr. and time 'in zone'. The machines hr readers have never been very accurate when compared…

Congrats on our new baby! I have a 3 week old too! Im sending a friend request your way. I'm pretty sure the nagging and complaining comes with the territory of losing weight. Good luck to you!

I'm going to add you- I have faith in you that you can loose the weight. Once you get going and realize the important change in your life, it becomes addicting to be heathy and keep it that way! It's so important that we live healthy lives for our children to set great examples. Even if they don't understand now, it still…

Congrats On your newest addition! I had a little girl on march 16, should have been the 17th but my labor was super fast! You've lost so much so quickly, I'm stuck. However- I gained 65lbs. I added you- good luck on losing the last of the baby weight! I look forward to hearing about your success!

Wow! You look great! Congrats on your upcoming wedding, you will make a beautiful bride.

Yay new britches!

I'm in the same boat! I recently gained 60 with my little girl. I'm totally motivated to get every pound off. Congrats on your little one! I sent you a friend request!

I know how you feel. My husband works a physically demanding job and eats out 2 meals a day. Now he comes home and eats the healthy meal I've prepared for him and loses weight. While I'm at work all day- come home to a hour long work out, then cook dinner. I going 100 miles an Hour all day long. And I still struggle to…

It always works for me! Or maybe the pain of working out makes my brain forget about the cramps.

I hit a plateau a while back while struggling to loose my last 10 lbs to my goal. What did I do? Intensified my work outs. First an extra 10 Minutes of cardio- then a few weeks later added 50 squats to the end of my work out- if you can reach your max heart rate at the end of your work out- you can keep your hr up for…

Thank you, this is very inspiring to me! I have people tell me all the time they are still carrying extra baby weight around. I can do this!
