Oh wow guys - thanks for the encouragement! *grinning from ear to ear*.....

I have lots of excuses - I lost it very slow and very smart. Small daily changes, took almost 1 year to lose 50 pounds. Changed everything about how I viewed food & addictions. Then I broke out with some strange un-diagnosed rash all over my body. 4 specialists and 5 rounds of steroids later, I look up and have gained 22…

Wow - had no idea how inspiring this thread would be... thanks!

Swykes - you have beautiful hair and eyes! 9.5 Love the expression on your face!

Bless your heart - I'm 37. :)

bump... these sound fantastic compared to my "Tuna helper" :)

Occupation: Photographer Dream job: EXACTLY what I'm doing... I love what I do!

I started at a size 20 in pants, currently in a size 12 Size 2x in tops, currently in a size Large bra size was 44DDD, now a 36DD

Oh my gosh, my husband LOVES Mitch Hedburg!

I'm in New Castle, KY - just outside of Louisville!

Wow - thanks for sharing.

We've discovered asparagus (never had it before). We love it roasted! We also roast potatoes and sweet potatoes a lot more than we used to. Just last week, I discovered patty pan squash... it's amazing. We've also been eating more stuffed peppers. It's been really fun finding new things to eat. I challenge my kids each…

I second that! Always a blessing to hear from you!

Depends - do you have kids? If so, I would bump that baby up to cardio!

I do her video 2x a week and sometimes, I do 3 miles, sometimes I do 5. I've been losing about 1.5 pounds a week for 26 weeks. I also do other workouts, too but I enjoy Leslie's program. Good luck!

I agree - if you really want to do something about the extra weight, you will. If you don't, you'll make every excuse in the world and you won't do it. I have 2 children & work from home. I get up in the mornings 2x a week before my husband even gets up and go work out (kids are asleep). 2x a week, I take the kids to the…

I'm a peanut-butter-a-holic and I just started eating this stuff. Not necessarily as natural as peanuts & salt but it's sold at Whole Foods and it tastes like the middle of the Nutter Butter cookies. Oh my gosh, it's amazing! 100 calories per 2 tbsp (1/2 that of regular peanut butter).…

I typically drink 10-12 glasses of water a day but this week, I've only gotten in 5-7. Maybe it is dehydration. It's been insanely hot here with the heat index over 100 degrees every day. I only drink water - maybe 4 oz. of orange juice a week and milk on my cereal but I really drink lots of water. I'm not taking a multi…

Just as a FYI, I'm feeling much better. Still weak but no longer with fever / chills, etc. Congestion is still there, though.

I still have no idea how to post photographs on here but I do have pictures on my facebook page. Search for Tammy Saunders Lanham & it's the top post on my wall. Feel free to send a friend request! As for the deer meat, we get about 4 deer a year, grind most of it up & use it all year long for burgers, meatloaf, pizza…

The zucchini was about 3" in diameter. 7-8 minutes on the skillet, then I flipped, added the ingredients & waited another 7-8 minutes. Good firm texture.

I've decided to swear off of fast food - BAD experience (it's on the blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TammyLanham/view/stupid-burger-118382) I just don't eat out all that much, like you said - I can stay at home, fix a healthier alternative and save the money. If we do eat out, it's for a special occasion or with…

I weighed less this month, too AND my cramps were awful, awful.... much worse than in the past.

Just my opinion - I don't eat back my workout calories. I'm 5'4" and weigh 164 (lost 40 pounds to date) and my calorie goal right now is 1200. No matter how much I work out, I try to keep it between 1200 and 1500. If I ate back all my workout calories, I wouldn't lose an ounce. I know... I was there.

Okay folks - you NEED to try this amazing recipe: Take 1-2 bananas, peel them, slice into about 4-5 big chunks, put into a ziploc bag & freeze overnight. Then put the bananas into a blender with a little vanilla (or any flavoring), add about 1/2 cup milk (can do almond milk or soy milk, too) to begin with. If you like…

I've got it - it's awesome! Very fast but awesome. Don't feel like you have to do every single move and keep up w/ her the first time or 2 you do it or you might just keel over. :)

I usually crave like crazy a few days before TOM arrives but I've got nearly 10 days to go so I don't think that's it..... could be, I guess. I'm soooo hungry!

Very inspiring images... way to go!
