thanks guys! i gotta say i was pretty proud of myself :)

this is totally right, not to mention if you keep the side your saving with the pit inside it also preserves it, not sure if the natural oil in the pit that makes this work or what but it DOES work, i do it all the time :)

ive been told this is more likely than not the case, and although it would be nice for everyone to notice, i dont need anyone to validate me. i feel good about the willpower to turn my body into what i want it to be and enjoy every second of it!

smooth peanut butter for sure! and my hubby also enjoys smooth...

Yay!!! :happy:

nice work!!! looks like you been working hard to achieve your goals! way to go! feel free to add me if you'd like :)

this site has a built in deficit, so if you state you want to lose 2lbs a week max., they automatically put that deficit into your daily allowance so anything you exercise and get back you should eat, it doesnt affect your deficit. your body needs the fuel! if you have anymore question in the forum section "general diet…

you just have to eat. sometimes i eat when im not "hungry" because i know i have to.

im unaware of how accurate that brand is but i do know that my HRM calculates my cals burned by my age and my heart rate and in one of my workouts i burn 720 cals in 45 min of workout and half an hour of stretch...

i agree that 1-2 lbs is a good number, if you are losing more its possible it could be muscle mass. but you should def be taking in more the 1200 since you are a woman, less could put your body into starvation mode and cause you to not lose weight and even gain weight! also, going below that number isnt good unless your…

i agree with eating healthy doesnt always have to be expensive... looks for sales and good deals and if you plan your meals wisely you'll be fine... i'll tell you before i switched to eating healthy i spent MORE on garbage food because not only did i buy it at the store but if i didnt feel like eating what we had at the…

way to go!!! thats fabulous!!!

believe in yourself!!! you can do it!!! dont let yourself get down because you slip up every now again, let it be a reminder of what you want to achieve, the goals you want to reach! and by all means do not give up!!! if you need help knowing what foods you should and shouldnt have follow the motto "if it can go bad, its…

i somewhat enjoy skinny cow ice cream but i prefer something that tastes like what im used to such as the 100 cal low fat fudgesicles, or 100 cal low fat creamsicles the orange and raspberry flavor... they are FAB!

anything that makes me wanna dance! if its got a good beat and is fast paced, i'll work out to it!

i def eat a small snack before i work out and i have an awesome music assortment to workout to not to mention the thought of me in that bikini lookin smokin hot makes me get up and start movin!

this true, you never want to much of anything, good or bad...

:heart: agree! its so nice :heart:

Theres a great book called "cook this, not that 350 calorie meals" i just recently bought it and its filled with good balanced nutritional foods that are low in cals but will fill you up! ive tried 2 of the meals thus far and they are meals i would have never thought to try till now and they are AMAZING!!! the guy who…

i take naps almost daily (due to the hubby and i working opposite schedules) and im not worried... i enjoy it :)

be strong, i know you can do it!!!

lol JUST SAY NO! :tongue:

Nice work!!! looks like you've worked hard to achieve your goals, you should be proud! :smile:

coming from an optimistic point of view hopefully your mother only says those things about you having a g/f so it might urge you to "try harder" and to see you "happy". Does she know it hurts you to be reminded that arent with someone? that when the time is right you will find "the one"? Does she know that its not a lack…

well i am married, but i also think you are quite adorable. well worth going for looks wise, but i understand your frustration. when things dont happen quite the way i'd like i try to remember that everything happens for a reason. even though it may seem hard at the moment i believe if your a sweet and loving guy you will…
