Denise, that link was quite helpful! Very interesting stuff. According to the calculations, I'm not eating anywhere close to my BMR. Would that explain why I'm so hungry at the end of the day? And japruzze, good for you! That's awesome! I think my biggest goal right now, BJLeech, is to look good in photos! I've always been…

Thank you ladies. It means a lot hearing your advice and experiences along the way.

Beautiful! Your story is quite motivating, love. Keep up the great work =)

Wonderful to see fellow MT's offering their thoughts on the subject :smile: My only goal for bringing this to topic was to offer an add-on to people's health goals....which includes weight loss. I mentioned toward the end of my last post that massage alone will definitely not cause you to lose weight. But, when coupled…

Absolutely! I just wanted to make sure people were interested before I did my whole "speech" ;) Before I even became a massage therapist, I was aware of the benefits and got massages often just to control my stress level. As we all know, stress is not good for the body and overall health because of that lovely little…

Yes potential injury can happen with any exercise program. That's why it's so important to only do what you CAN! Yes, you need to push yourself, but there's a fine line between pushing yourself and injuring yourself. I heard Jillian herself suggestion two days of 30DS and then take a rest day, but I'm with you on this one,…

I attempted Day 1 - Level 1 last Monday. I've done it in the past and quit so I wanted to give it another shot. I knew I couldn't do everything all at once, so I just did what I could and decided I would build up to the full movements. My arms and abs were killing me by the end of the workout. So I knew I did some good for…

Great smile!

Woo! Eye-color twins =) And thanks very much. I'm slowly convincing myself to see that too =)

You may be wearing a mask, Steph, but those lovely blue eyes are exquisite =) They are blue, right? ;)

Oh it shows, love! Keep up the excellent work!

Hang in there, love, I've been there too. I have been able to lose weight without turning to binging again, thankfully. But I understand it's a hard habit to break. Just know that you are definitely capable of anything if you set your mind to it. Just believe and have faith in yourself =)

Oh yay!! A fellow country girl! I'm from the flint hills of the great state of Kansas. Born and raised in the middle of no where =) Cowman/farmer's daughter...and of course the granddaughter of a Baptist preacher, so I hear ya! Feel free to add me as a friend. Best of luck to ya, love!

Thanks! Right back at you =)

Oh, how I can relate! I started going to school and gained back EVERYTHING I lost the first go around lol. It didn't help that the school was located in a downtown FULL of local restaurants. It was so easy to eat out every day for lunch. Now I'm paying for it lol. Good luck to you!

Great minds think alike =)

I shall, thanks =)

Same to you, love!

Thanks Hope! Same to you =)

That helped tremendously! I've always been stuck as far as exercise. I seem to just stick with one thing and then get bored and quit. I like that you switched it up. I have the 30 Day Shred, and the one time I did it, it threw my back out lol. Haven't touched it since, but I'm considering trying it again and just doing…

Wow, talk about motivation!! I wanna do everything you did! What did your exercise routine look like? What healthy foods are your favorite?
