Mama to 4 (8,7,5 and 13 mos.) living in South Idaho. Used to live in Pleasant Grove, UT...so we aren't very far from each other! Sounds to me that if you started lifting weights you would shape up very nicely :)

wow! You are amazing!

sounds like your immune system is very low! Try Folic Acid and Echinacea. Prenatal may be needed as well...even if you aren't pregnant it can be helpful :)

bossy :P

Amazing! You look beautiful!

Right on! I've tried both theories and have to say that eating what you want doesn't work. I feel full of energy and lose weight quicker when I eat healthy.

Holy moly you look grrrrrreat!

Not so good at putting them where they go,,, 38 perfect score:74.50 79 miles 310 sec

Alphabetical Order in grade school. My kids have a song CD that teaches all the States and Capitals. We sing them all the time :)

wowee! Great job!

Green tea during/protein smoothee before and after (1/2 before, 1/2 after)

I have 4 kids as well. You look great!

I think most people in "poverty" aren't really....I have friends that are supposed to be poverty level and they have smart phones, internet service, cable, the works and they wear shoes I could never afford.....pretty sure those are necessities! I too live on a very low income. I think eating healthy is more important than…

Thanks! That helps a lot. I know 1700 is extreme...more like a "what if" to try and understand the whole burn/eat mechanics :)

Thanks so much....I have 60-70 lbs to lose. I measure once a week. I don't see any loss in my belly and hips anymore. My waist gets smaller all the time. 35" waist and 49" hips!!!

Have you seeing a big change in your body lifting heavy with fewer reps? I'm new to lifting and am curious about shorter reps/heavier weight. And do you do cardio as well?

Thanks everyone! You all have confirmed some answers for me. I do like lifting better anyway. Aerobics and Cardio are boring as all get out :) I'll just max my time with the weights, eat more protein, keep a better diary (I never go over my calorie limit, but I do get lazy in tracking it on here. Especially since my…

hmmmmm.....cereal!

Thanks!

Does that burn more calories or just build muscle and how many extra calories do I eat based on 1400-1500 cal diet. Will I loose fat? I have 60-70 more lbs to go...

I better get a heart rate monitor then.....MFP says 90 min of circuit training is 1070 cal and I usually burn (based on machines at the gym) 600-800 cal on the treadmill and elliptical +weights. I was wanting to do "2 a day" because I'm not seeing results anymore.

Everyone is in their own zone....No one is going to judge you :)

BLT!

It's the grace of God that lets us live to see each new day & to breathe each breath. Grace is God giving us what we don't deserve. None of us deserve our next meal, but He has mercy on us because He loves us. He desires to have a relationship with each and every person on earth. He gives us a free will and the majority of…

I believe your calories are based on "normal" activity and shopping is a normal activity......
