Now if that doesn't motivate me, nothing will! Great job!!

Thank you for all your suggestions. I just started walking for 40 minutes on my lunch breaks at work 3x a week. Having healthy snacks on hand is my next step as well as meals. And I like the idea of always having water with me. I agree that school can be helpful to losing weight if I twist it right. Im not home to munch as…

That is SO awesome! I love it!! I needed the inspiration BADLY right now. I AM the fat girl that shoved 4 brownies down my throat TODAY! Ugh. But I know I can do it, once I get started. Thank you for sharing your story. You rock! Congrats!

Wow your results are awesome!! Good for you :) Congats!

When I say "skinny fat" I am referring to the body that is at a goal weight but no lean muscles. Thats skinny fat. Someone who is thin but jiggly. We all have different perceptions for what is attractive. I personally dont think it is, so I dont want to be that. You cant get mad at others' opinions. Also, you say your…

Increase your calories! Especially if you work out and are hungry still. Thats your body telling you it needs fuel. Try increasing in small increments, and wait 2 weeks to weigh yourself.

I dont understand why they think its impossible to shed 36 lbs & gain muscle in 8 months. Its not like you did it in 3! Theyre crazy, dont waste your energy even explaining to ignorant haters. Congrats!

I understand her pain (my hubby loses waaay faster than me), but truth be told, women & men lose weight differently. Men can handle more carbs than women. She needs to probably just make a few changes. She should join some women only groups on mfp. Its great you both are doing this together, but you each also need…

I love my alcohol too during social gatherings. Ive been alternating it; Drink then Water (fill same drink glass with water). And drink both slowly. Good luck!

Genius! I must try it this weekend! Congrats on your progress, you should be proud!

Do you do the squats with any weights?

Fantastic!! Your hard work paid off :) What did you do?

^^^^^SHES SOOOO RIGHT!!!!

Congrats on your weightloss success! I donate them...and when I fell off track & gained a few lbs, not having "comfy" clothes motivated me to get right back on track. I refuse to buy new bigger clothes again! Donate them to a womans shelter or organization helping women get back to work (if you want to feel like your not…

What an awesome way to start off a Monday, and after the holiday too! Thanks for posting and congratulations!! So I just read your first post & Im cracking up cause its like you read my mind about myself!! I began at 190 lbs after having two very large children (their dad is 6'4, need I say more?!)...I cover up with…

Fantastic job! I can see this being possible at 20 yo. I was able to drop 7 lbs in a week back then...those days are LONG GONE! Haha! Keep up the great fitness work.

Higher Ground (RHCP), Need you Tonight (INXS), Beastie Boys and old school hip hop or rap (so fun!)

Lucky you. I take Vit C too. Womans immunity is sometimes weakened by having kids...you dont have to worry about that!

I think you get the picture by now...you wont "see" results in 2 weeks, but you should feel better. Your food intake is just as important as working out. Eat clean and lean and cut out the fats, sugars and "bad" carbs (eat low glycemic fruits!). In another 2 weeks you will have results. Its easier said than done, but its…

Congratulations!! I loved your post...well put. I can relate, 2 little ones & I'll be 35 next year. I needed this motivation to get back on track after a few months off and finally reach my goal. Thank you :) and Happy Birthday!!!

Awesome job! BTW, you look way younger than 31. Happy Birthday & Congrats!

Pear (i think), lost the pudge around knees and on my face first...tummy has trimmed but by no means has gone away YET. Im told its the last to go. Patience isnt a virtue on mine!

Great job!!!

I love my Jack Lalane juicer. Affordable, easy to use & clean. Juices very well too.

You sure you dont work at my job?? Lol! You bring a healthy dish that you would enjoy and eat that & anything else that is healthy. If they push it on you, just say no thank you. Toss the plates they make you after they leave. They dont have bad intentions, but YOU HAVE to be in control of what goes in your mouth. My…

So what is the appropriate way to compliment someone who has lost weight? Whether or not I am at my goal, I am happy when it is noticed. Just take the compliment and dont analyze it. Its motivating and means whatever your doing is working! Let the snyde compliments go in one ear and out the other.

GREAT CHOICES!! ^^^ and I would add INXS - I Need You Tonight and Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground
