A little late here but Growing Naturals Brown Rice Protein powder is great & not chalky. I normally put a scoop of that, almond milk & frozen bananas in a blender and enjoy. I like the chocolate one, it satisfies my sweet tooth!

I have similar stats, great motivation!

I read somewhere to multiple 1.1 by your weight. I got a HRM recently and it was correct within 10 calories.

You look awesome! That 30 pounds made a huge difference in your body, confidence and health. Don't quit now!!

Technically you dont need any seasoning for steak, but I like to use fresh minced garlic & fresh cracked pepper. I just rub it on & cook. But I like mine damn near bloody. You just cant beat a rare steak & glass of red wine. Man, now Im hungry!

Yes, I to have had to cut back some. Wine is great!

WOW!! you Look awesome!!! Hot momma!

I would definitly suggest bumping up your calories to even 1350 or more, considering you work out so much. Your body is probably going into starvation mode. Bump up your calories for the week & I bet you will see a loss at the end of the week!

That looks good, I would definitly suggest keeping you calorie intake on the higher of the low end. Also alot of people zig zag their calories for the week. It will keep your body from getting in a rut! http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm Check out the link above it has some good info on the zig zagging!

Im not a 100% Italain but I do have a big italian family. I get that too! I just take smaller portions than I normally would. My response to people when they say , "Your skinny as it is, or You don't need to lose anymore weight" is "Well, you haven't seen me naked." & that normally shuts them up. haha

Im 24 5'8" SW:154 CW: 143 GW: 139 Im more in to toning up now.

This is a wonderful idea!!! I may do that this weekend!!

You look amazing and far from 200! Keep it up!:wink:

Yes, its possible. You need to eat fruits and veggies though. If it won't rot don't eat it. Its very easy to go over 2000 Calories if your eatting processed foods.

Thats amazing! You look beautiful!

I do too! I want to be at my goal weight by 9-16. Thats 10 lbs to lose.

Hi Butter, I also started yesterday! I am sore, but the best thing for sore muscles is stretching & exercise as it releases the lactic acid thats built up. Try to do it today for as long as you can. Even if its only 5 minutes!

Im in!: :smile:

I am also cutting out processed food. I website that I live by now is http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/ it really helps with eating a healthier real food diet. There are even meal plans there!

I need to do this. I keep having dreams that I am a running feign. I have always said I hate to run, but I may just try it out. I need to get my cardio in so.

im 5'8" started @155 @144 now. i'd like to be 139-135 My smallest ever was like 125 ( in HS) which is way to small.

Won't most gym's give you a free trial week if you say your interested in checking it out?

WOW! You look 20 Years Younger! You don't even look like the same person!! Great job! keep it up!

Great Job! Your starting weight as well was my highest, I'd be happy if I can get below 140! You look Great!

Alot of people get sick from vitamins becuase of the added Iron in it. You wam want to find one that has no added Iron?

Thats Great news! Keep up the awesome work!

I should be getting mine in the mail today, So I'll start today or tomorrow. I am also going to Hot Power Yoga about 3-5 times a week. I will try to get my measurments & before pics. How can I keep track of this thread?

I like to make smoothies, Ill use greek non fat yogurt fresh berries Ripe banana & a tad OJ. It gives me the sweetness I like but packs in the protein and its all healthy! Or there are a lot of "Yogurt lands or froyo" type places, you serve your self & you can add fresh fruit. So its replaces ice cream for me. I LOVE ice…

A good way to tone up is Hot Power yoga, or Bikram Yoga. It will definitly give the the toning you desire.

You are getting alot of work outs in! Good Job!
