Ladies and Gentlemen.....we have a winner!! Great answer!!

Thanks so much for the advice and words of encouragement. I added strength training to my workouts about 2 months ago and I am really starting feel and see a difference. Even though it's not showing on the scale, my jeans and the tape measure tell me a different story. I find your posts very informational and would like to…

Thank you so much. I really needed this today!

Not conceited at all. You look beautiful AND thin. What an amazing transformation.

I quit smoking over a year ago and also gained 40 lbs. I've been 'kind of' making an effort to lose the weight, but within the past few weeks I've gotten serious about getting healthy. Feel free to add me as a friend. Great job quitting smoking, it's not easy!

Exactly!!

Cytosport 100% Whey Protein (made by Muscle Milk) is delicious and mixes very well. Both vanilla and chocolate are great. I get 6 lb bags at Costco, 75 servings for about $50 each.

I have been on Atkins the past 2 weeks and am finally seeing some results. It all depends on your food preferences. Personally, I don't miss processed foods or starches at all. Ignore the haters and do what works for you. Good luck. B)

I find that pre logging keeps me in check and on track. Good luck. :D

Haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa. Love this AND love lifting!!:laugh:

My weight loss stalled so I have been spending up to 2 hours at the gym 6 days a week. I normally go before my husband gets up, (5:00 am), so it doesn't interfere with our time together. If it's something you really want to do, you'll find a way. Good luck.

Your profile says that you are "trying to get into shape". If this is true, exercise is a big part of getting into shape. Just sayin....

I quit over a year ago after being a smoker for 35+ years. I we t to my doctor and she prescribed Chantix. I followed the directions and quit smoking a week after starting the prescription. I had some "stressed" moments, but used an e-cig when I absolutely needed it. After 3 months I was completely off any type of…

YOU ROCK!! Keep it up!

I lost 10 pounds very quickly on low carb but got stuck. I have recently started carb cycling and am seeing immediate results. I am on a 5 day low / 2 day high carb cycle. I am also hitting the gym at least an hour a day, 6 days a week. I am seeing great results and feel I can keep up this lifestyle long term. Chris Powell…

I add pasteurized egg whites (from the carton) to my green smoothies for additional protein. I also use them for my scrambled eggs, one whole egg to 1/4 cup egg whites. :bigsmile:

EXCELLENT ANSWER!! Love it.

REALLY? This stranger clearly crossed the line. Unfortunately, he also hurt someone by being such a know it all.

Sounds like you have already made up your mind. Just so you know, it IS worth it and it DOES make a difference. Take the time to research. Personally, I suggest looking into "The New Rules of Lifting for Women". I wish you all the best.

Exactly!!

WOW, so sorry for you, your family and your mom. Certainly puts my "not so big issues" into perspective. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

Exactly. When I am working out I am focused on me, not anyone around me. Don't take it personally.

This sounds like a GREAT low carb recipe!! Thanks!

I have found several yummy recipes for Stuffed Pepper Soup online. I normally buy lots of green peppers when they are in season and freeze multiple batches of this soup for the fall/winter months. Good luck!

You are amazing! What an inspiration you and your husband are to those of us that are still a work in progress. Keep up the great work.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your story.

Good Lord, you look so much younger!! What an inspiration you are. Great Job!!:drinker:
