Congratulations!!!! You look great. Running 5ks for fun. I need to do that!!!

I am motivated in that I can get new workout clothes. Its fun to look better in them now. I think of all that as a reward for this. Supplement, otherwise not so much just yet.

Yes I drink it. I cut up a lemon into 8-10 pieces. When I fill up with water, I add a piece. I don't know the nutritonal value but it does make my water taste better. Several people have told me that other cultures start their day out with this warm. Your body is dehydrated so water in the morning makes sense. I think…

Nutrition might be the key. Try alternating day of carbs, high carbs, low carbs, low carbs. Increase protein as well. Skooby website. Keep the body guessing. If you are doing the same thing then you might get the same results. I agree that you have to figure out what works, low carbs, low fat, carb cycling, and here's…

I have tried many diets and fads over the years. What works best for me is indeed controlling the sugars. I don't go completely without (atkins). Instead I do the Carbohyrdrate Addicts Diet whereby 2 meals (more proteins) and the 3rd meal of the day regular. This just works with normal and consistency and not on a diet at…

I have juicer. Love it for detoxing, overall, meal substitution. I get on kicks especially after watcher Fat, Sick, and Nearly dead. I love to juice! When I am sick I bring it out for all the natural vitamins in there. It's good.

Watershoes/old tennis shoes...flip flops will float. Shorts over swim suit. sunscreen...lots.

Forgot, you might want to consider doing it 4x a week. I found that 3x wasn't enough for me to bump up to the next week.

Go for it. Look for different programs online some start with the whole 45 others start out 20 minutes with 4 minutes walking then 1 minute run alternating. (I like this because literally I started at no exercise). It's ok to repeat a week if you feel like it's too much or too hard or you just weren't ready to start. Start…

Great job!! Thanks for posting. Inspirational

The changes are amazing especially in that front head on shot with your waist. WAY to go!

Ditto. Eat light the day of ...next to nothing then eat dinner. If you forget then got light for 2-3 days afterwards to balance out.

Congrats! Totally believe you!!!. Once I went to unprocessed foods...it went away. I try to eat at much natural foods as possible. I say this because if you go somebody house or work function you can't help it. If I have once in a blue moon then ok.

Great changes! Keep it up. You can definately tell.

You looked good before. You look even better now!

I lost it there too but think it's more back fat.

Thanks for posting this. I have stepped on the scale at various points when you realized you didn't in the morning. Now I measure with the tape and will take scale measure every couple of weeks instead of daily.

I am in my forties. Looking at your second picture it looks good. You knock it out of the ball park on the last two. Wow.

Awesome! I lose inches then a few week later some pounds. Keep it up. You're doing the right thing because you're losing fat. Muscle takes up less space.

You look like a whole new person. Kudo's to you for doing it!

Wow! Don't know if you're a hockey fan or soccer. Totally agree....you look great! Thanks for posting the extras. Did you eat your exercise calories? Did you do BMR/TDEE or MFP?

Yeah somebody noticed. That's important. Heard when you lose 10 pounds you nice, 20 pound family notice, and 30 pounds other people notice. It's a big deal.

Thank you. The girls who posted looked awesome. That's total week area for me. I am shaped like an apple. Awesome!

Keep updating a fraction of a pound. I've scene people lose 20,30, 80 pounds updating it that. Everybit counts. I would love to give advice on the diet portion....I've only lost just a few pounds. I feel you are more the expert. ha

Shakeology has lots of nutrients in it but agree with $$$. I used to use half and half with whey protein. I can't drink milk the whey protein give me sinus troubles. I went with a plant based protein one. If you walk into a nutrition store/whole foods/trader joe's they will be able to help you (get the chocolate version of…

Definately see results..you got flatter and defined. Where did you find on here or pinterest?

Thanks for the post. The before pictures and eating a little to fueling your body and eating right is amazing. Reason 999 why you should post this for all those people starving themselves. You look great!

Holy cow! You've come a LONG way. Congrats!!!!!!! I would take 20 if I look that different. Congrats!!!! Great job! 10K... that's awesome too!

Thanks for posting! Such an inspiration!

You look great. I have a daughter who is a pear as well. You are very toned. Your "now" body does not show a pear but rather an athletic body. Congrats to you.
