Checkmate! Good at ya! Several fast food restaurants have the calories counts on the drive-thru's. I didn't pay a lot of attention to them before. It's been helpful to me to not add-on impulse calories.

Superstar!!

I 2nd Fitness blender!!!! Search the site or Youtube with the word strength.

I took it about five years ago. It was basically speed and gave me awesome energy. I had to quit it and gained weight. I found that building up endurance is the way to go. I do a hard routine that is more than my ability at my pace. I eventually can do the routine and I feel Amazing. Also, weights are really amazing for…

Yes to pre-planning. If you can't, focus on what the typical serving size is. Weddings and banquets are especially hard.

You look great & no loose skin! Do you feel that the weights helped with toning, or the amount of time (fast/slow) loss?

I'm 44 and decided that I need to take control before menopause sets in. I started walking for 45 - 60 min. a day. Honestly, I never burned enough calories to make it not boring. I then looked up different exercise videos on youtube and found some that didn't bore or annoy me. My favorite is fitness blender. They are a…

You just need to find something you like. I've tried many different exercises and have found strength training to be the most challenging. You are working against yourself and can see improvements. It's cool to feel stronger. You also are using calories 24/7. I had to work so much harder with cardio. Anyway, you are…

I've enjoyed Fitness Blender's HIIT with strength training.

Fitness blender. 100's of videos from 10min. to 60 min. They are not annoying to me, which is huge.

I 2nd fitness Blender. They will show you how to do it the right way. Do a search for them on YouTube searching with strength in the title. Good luck!

I love the enthusiasm!!! I just went a pant size down too! I just have to remember how this feels as motivation! I'm so happy for you.

I use Bob's red mill whey protein powder. It has 15 grams of protein, is healthy and mixes into anything. I usually mix almond milk, Bob's and two tablespoons of Ovaltine for lunch. 5 points.

Calisthenics? You look great! Keep challenging yourself!

Why would you come back? Why would you care about any of this anymore? You wouldn't.

Fitness blender. They have a YouTube channel you won't believe. I use them everyday for strength training, hiit, core, etc. They are a couple and are very down to earth. I really like how they teach proper technique to movements. Read the reviews from others! I am stronger and have more endurance and confidence. I've also…

So happy for you. You look great! You have a long life of health in front of you. I'm sure many people wish they had taken care of themselves earlier. Best wishes!

Wow! You don't even look like the same person. You look great and have tons of energy for your little ones. Thank you for your tips too.

Measuring is the way to go. The scale moves around, especially as a women.

You look super! Thank y o u for inspiring.

I can tell in the front especially. Please learn from my mistakes. 1.) The scale goes up and down, especially as a women. Keep doing what you are doing. 2.) Weigh yourself the same day and time weekly. 3.) Measure yourself once a month. 4.) Log everything down. It's so easy to get discouraged. You are doing this for you!

Wonderful. You are a fabulous swan! BTW, Are you 1972 birth year? I am and it has been a chore keeping motivated. Members posts do help me, like yours.

This is the first time I've ever posted. You are awesome! You are taking control of your life at 19! I wish I had the willpower at that age! Thank you for being my inspiration for today!
