I hope you can see now, with these pictures- one after the other, how much of a change you've made- and be super proud of yourself. This is major! You really look fantastic- and must feel so much healthier!

Isn't being cold the worst? I hate it so much I now do the snowbird thing- 6 months in the Caribbean and 6 back on Cape Cod. I guess that isn't viable for everyone though. Lots of tea, spicy foods and a hot water bottle on my feet always helped.

Yeah- canned soup= blahg. It's so easy to saute up some veggies, throw in a can of chickpeas, some broth and wizz half of it up in a blender, mix it back in- and you've made an awesome soup! Soup rules!

Zuzanna is awesome at- http://www.bodyrock.tv/ She does lots of body weight only exercises, they'll kick your @ss. I'm sore right now from one I did 2 days ago!

Wow- lots of us 5'5''ers. Me too at 5'5'' and 3/8ths- they're very important, heh. Starting weight was 140, now I'm around 130 (gave my scale away to a friend 2 weeks ago and am trying to see how long I can "weight" it out 'til I break and buy a new one). Goal for me is around 125 I think, or even my weight right now as…

I see a lot of carbohydrates and a lot of sugar, not enough protein and barely any fruit and vegetables. I would try to add more veggies and fruit and less white flour foods. Good luck, it's a struggle, I know.

LOVE green smoothies! My favorites are fairly plain, made one today with baby spinach, watermelon, water and ice. So good. I also like to add spinach to protein powder and water shakes. Coconut water, frozen berries and spinach is good too.

Best was either my lunch of tuna and chickpea salad or dinner where I made chicken meatloaf with grilled asparagus. The worst was definitely the piece of chocolate cake I had as a snack between the two good meals!

I'm thankful everyday I don't have children.:wink:

I too have seen the 80% diet, but 20% exercise- genetics in there makes sense too. I love food as well- too bad you can sweat your a** off and only burn enough calories for a cookie. I've also seen diet is 80/20 so you don't have to eat perfectly to still see results, just most of the time. It be impossible to stick to if…

I look very similar to your before picture so this was super motivating to me- thank you! You look incredible! I don't know if I could ever look as fantastic and muscular as you do now though, it seems like a fantasy- it must really take a lot of dedication. Can I ask your gym routine, how many days a week, and for how…

this took a little while to think of- 1. I have a well proportioned, hourglass figure 2. Good skin, I get the most compliments on my skin (all I can think of when they do is of how awful my skin was in high school, I still feel like it's bad) 3. Nice hands and nails

that does sound good- I'm imagining it tasting kinda like tuna noodle casserole, without the noodles. Mmm

I'm so glad you posted this! IF has helped me stop obsessing about the next thing going in my mouth, and lets me finally feel full while counting calories. I feel so much better not eating breakfast before my hourly walk/jog, so much information told me this was wrong- it's nice to get some info that it's fine to do what…

Congratulations! I know how hard that is- I had to do a 5 day raw food only detox to sever my ties with diet soda. It's tough.

Really fantastic job! You look incredible!!!

I'm 5'5'' and 3/8ths- yep those 3/8ths are important. Currently 130, goal weight 125- but more than getting down to the goal weight, I'd like to gain muscle as I'm losing.

My favorite way is very simple, and no cooking needed- cut it into cubes and add soy sauce, fresh grated ginger root and a few drops of toasted sesame oil. If I have scallions I'll add that too. I'll do this to a whole brick and leave it in the fridge like that, it's even better a day later after it's been marinating. Good…

Real butter. Actually I enjoy most of my favorite foods- just not as often or in such massive quantities.

I jogged for a mile myself without stopping yesterday! Usually I do a combo fast walk/slow jog for an hour 5 days a week, but I went to a new spot where a mile was marked out and I jogged the whole mile straight. It feels great doesn't it?
