You are gorgeous! (before and after!) And look at those toned legs in the 2nd photo! Great job!

That is so great! Congratulations! I'm going to have to measure myself tonight. I haven't yet, but I already notice big changes in my stomach and hips. So I should really take note of it and track along the way. Great motivation!

Personally, I think artificial sweeteners are pure EVIL. I have a bad sensitivity to them, so I just avoid them all together. There are studies that show that diet soda can have a negative impact on your healthy diet. But, everyone is different. And if you take things in moderation, I think you'll be fine, personally.…

That is an awesome feeling! Congratulations!

Strawberry Sandwiches and the caramel cones! YUM YUM YUM!

Amazing difference! Great work!

GOBBLE GOBBLE! I'm down with that!

MAJOR Difference!! Great job on your efforts. Keep up the great work! WOO!

PS. Jillian Michaels is a money making machine. Her advice isn't Gospel, nor is it for everyone. You have to find what works for you!

Just a quick peek at your diary, and it looks like a lot of processed stuff. One day you had 3 granola bars as a meal? That's a lot of sugar in one sitting. Another day was some frozen pizza of sorts. I'm not being critical, i've been there! And I'm sure to be there again. I know how challenging it is to manage without…

That 20 pounds has made an incredible difference! Great job. Have a great experience in Nicaragua!

I've been considering jumping back into Phase 1 for the next 2 weeks. I had great success with it 2 years ago, but you know...lazy me fell off the wagon and fell back into old bad habits. SO...starting over. Again. :)

Make Salsa, homemade pasta sauce, cut them up into your tuna salad or egg salad, cut them in half and broil them with some lowfat mozzarella on top....so many choices! Betty Crocker actually has a selection on using tomatoes right now:…

Nah, you're not alone! My friend HATES it. And I've tried a few classes where I'm like "What is this?". They have no energy or motivation. Sometimes a good instructor makes the difference. The gym I'm at now has awesome teachers and the classes are really energizing. You feel so good after and you have a great time, so the…

Sugar, you just keep doin' what you're doing, darlin'!

I'd go by what the box nutrition label says for a serving size.

I have a biggest loser game that's fun, and gets your heart rate up. I like it a lot, but don't use it nearly enough. I saw that Wii Zumba is coming to Red Box this month, so I'll give it a try too!

Welcome! This is where you learn to eat the "Right stuff" and get lots of tips, ideas and support from awesome people! You can do it!

Congratulations on your hard work and major accomplishment! You have really inspired me today, thank you! I've been plugging along for just over a month, losing a pound or so a week and feeling like UGH! This is going to take FORever. But I see where you're at, and that a year has flown by, and I know I can do it too!…

On whole grain low-fat waffles, on celery, on apples, on pretzel rods, on a spoon! YUM.

Shop the sales and clip your coupons. Stock up on staple items like canned beans, brown rice, whole wheat pasta. Try to avoid those smaller packaged meats, and buy bigger. You get more bang for your buck that way. Just freeze single servings in bags and use as needed.

I'm all about moderation. Maybe limit your pop to one can, twice a week. So say, on Friday night have a coke. And once over the weekend. But not every day.

I can't remember the scandal around it, but she definitely had a great show!

She still has here website: http://www.gillianmckeith.info/

It used to show on BBC America, but I believe they pulled it. They found out she wasn't really trained and had sort of been giving bad advice I think. I loved that show actually! She had good common sense suggestions, but was plugging herself as a nutritionist, but never actually went to college for that.

Incredible change! Great job!

If you have Netflix or On Demand with your cable, you can find some good routines!

Incredible! You look absolutely amazing. So healthy and radiant!

I'm not doing it now, but have had great luck with South Beach Diet in the past. Great online resource for recipes: www.kalynskitchen.com She has a ton of recipes for all the phases. I still use her site all the time.

woo woo!!
