Um, yeah, i'd pretty much kill for that butt. It ain't happening at 46 though...lol. But, I'm definently going to stick with my plan of lifting more weight.

Well, first and foremost, looking at your picture, you're a very pretty girl. Also remember that you're not alone with the way you're feeling. I remember being 18...ughhh....lol. We all had insecurities during high school...part of life. I would highly suggest counseling just to get over some of those negative feelings.…

Agreed

Maybe I'm missing something here. You only have like 27 pounds you want to lose? Why go to the lengths of getting medication? That's not a whole lot to lose. From your picture you don't look like you have much to lose at all. You can do 27 lbs with exercise and diet easy.

That's an awesome accomplishment. Congrats!

wonder if they have soy based. lactose intolerant, but freaking love to have me some ice cream....mmmmmm

Lookin' good! Keep up the good work! Very inspiring. :)

This. Get a *good* doctor and/or dietitian who can help work with your diabetic issues. You have to be patient and find the system that works for you. Good luck, and you CAN do it!

Fantastic job!!

This veggie pizza is a little different, but omg, it is yummy: http://www.pamperedchef.com/recipe_search/recipe.jsp?id=9658

Hmmm....been watching these debates about starvation mode for a while. Got to thinking about people who fast. It doesn't seem to hurt them any. Fasting has been popular for numerous reasons...even lengthy fasts. I think it's very important to get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy. But, when dieting, fasting, or…

Have it..love it..:)

Pampered Chef cool veggie pizza...mmmmmmmm. I used reduced calorie philly cheese and crescent rolls. http://www.pamperedchef.com/recipe_search/recipe.jsp?id=9658

I've tried to make myself like it because of all the veggies, but BLECK....nasty. Would have to hold my nose to get it down.

Holy crap...that makes me dizzy to the point of being ill. O.o

Same problem here...finally went for the cortisone shot. I saw that you're jogging some. Stop it. lol. No, but seriously, any impact aerobics will hurt like hell. Jogging kills my knee and even walking will bother me if I do long distance. Stick with biking, elliptical, swimming. There are a few weight lifting positions I…

lol....needin' the protein girl.

Still going strong...drinking tons of water. Have cheated a few times on eating after 8pm. But, am holding out pretty well.

totally awesome. you've done great!

hahahaha...."chesticles bouncing". Hey, he's honest girls, and this is just the way 99.9% of men are built. You wear it, you should expect to be oogled (and, I'd bet most of you enjoy the oogling.....nuthin' wrong with that either). I wear tight fitting yoga pants and tank so it doesn't get hung up on the equipment, but I…

My gym has a dress code of sorts.....no midriff showing, etc. It's a gym, not a meat market for Christ's sake. I love my gym....the people are average Joe's, and we're in there to work. hard.

Just WoW!

Try a tablespoon or two of black strap molasses for a month. Seriously helps with the energy level due to the iron content. You may just be lacking iron.

Yes, try switching up your workouts regularly. Some weight lifting/strength training (all kinds of ideas on youtube)....a different dvd each month. Don't just stick with one machine. When I started changing up my routines frequently, I noticed MUSCLES! hehe...and clothes started getting looser.

I just started...day 3 today. love it...only problem is the impact on my bad knee when doing the jumping jacks/running in place/jump rope. I'm going to try one of those mini tramps when i do that part...see if it takes off some of the impact on the knees. Luckily squats have never bothered me. Looking forward to see if I…

Thanks for all the advise! Never thought about the mini tramp...that might take some of the impact off. I do a TON of biking which doesn't both the knees at all, but really like this 30 day shred, so will incorporate some of your ideas into her program. Luckily squats haven't bothered me yet...it's just the jumping/landing…

rotflma....I'm thinking not, but one never knows with some men.

Hi...don't mean to offend, but might be your pictures? Pretty sexy poses....you know how guys are...lol. Sometimes, the pictures I see on mfp make me wonder if people are actually looking for dates....just sayin'. Course, everyone wants to show their results. Problem is sometimes those results might bring out the pervs.

I have the same problems. I started the 30 day shred and my bad knee is feeling the impact...jumping jacks, jump rope, etc. I'm looking for some alternatives to those particular exercises because i love the rest of the program.
