you may also try switching up your work out. if your like me i am a creature of habit so i tend to do the same work outs on the same days ( i.e. mon/thur weight train; tue/sat cycle etc) so others have told me that my body becomes use to the workouts thus i don't get the same results as i did in the beg. long story short…

all i can say is wow! that was a great inspiration and you have made my hero list! keep up the good healthy eating habits and life style change it has worked for you and will continue to if you stay with it. great pics too, by the way you can see in the pics that your confidence has also increased you are smiling more.…

OMG! i am so competitive and hate to loose so i should not be doing this but i cant resist! keep me posted i would love to try:)

well first what do you like to eat? and second do you have any restrictions (i.e diabetic so sugar is a issue or high blood pressure so sodium is an issue)? the reason i ask is b/c there is no one meal plan to follow there is no "perfect" food like you said if its fat free then it may be high in sugar. so i would say start…

hello, i'm sure you will do fine. Stay positive and focused and it will all work out.

hi tricia i am no doctor or fitness health expert or anything but i was told that the calories you burn from exercise you are allowed to eat. actually you have to eat them b/c if you dont then your body goes into starvation mode and you will hold on to fat instead of burn it off. it is confusing but i am a believer. i work…

Hi, glad you decided on posting. i bet now you will finally shed those last few lbs! it's just a matter of time, but remember that we are all here to see you succeed and we know you can do it b/c you have already started on the right track. keep us posted on your progress!:smile:

welcome! sorry there are no tricks or short cuts. best advise is to be as active as possible if you are not already, cut back on portions if they are or were usually large and stay positive that it will happen. the biggest part I THINK is mental! if you can stay positive and focussed the rest is not so challenging. Finally…

whole wheat crackers ( special k crackers are good fiber and carb) with smart balance peanut butter (high protein and omega 3) weight watcher light cheese stick with an apple boiled egg and whole wheat toast (good breakfast idea) greek yogurt (high protein) with 1/4 cup low fat granola (good for fiber and carbs)

please don't get frustrated remember part of this battle is mental. i know b/c i had to acknowledge that myself. you may see others loosing what looks like more and in the same or a shorter time period but they may be heavier than you or they may be more active now than they have ever been which is like a shock to the…

i am a habitual gum chewer and i find that when i am trying to control my portions it is best to eat a small snack and then chew a piece of gum. the small snack gets food in the belly and the constant chewing of the gum tricks me mentally into thinking i am getting more than i really am. its all mental. but like the others…

hi i just started also, we can keep each other motivated b/c that seems to be my down fall with any lifestyle change ( i hate the word diet) that i start. i do very well with eating the right things and with exercising (i actually like exercise surprising huh) but when i step on the scale and the numbers don't change or go…

OMG! YOU LOOK GREAT! I am so inspired to stay the course! keep it up and you will reach your third goal as well. you are my inspiration! EWASB (eat well and stay blessed)
