Slow Cooker Cabbage Soup; this week's lunch :)

So nice to see a story where stick-to-itness really paid off. Who cares that it took you 20 months. You DID IT!!!! I needed some Monday motivation and you just delivered it. Thanks! Congratulations on your AMAZING transformation!

I just underwent a Metabolic scoring at Life Time Fitness and both they and my Dr. said the only thing that will burn fat vs carbohydrates from your body is keeping your heart rate in Zone 1 and 2. Its tough, I've been away from CrossFit for several weeks and it is killing me but it's working. Buy a heart rate monitor and…

LIKE!!!

Shut the "F" up...When I scrolled down and saw your first "after" pic I actually cussed out loud! (Hope no one in myoffice heard me) That is the most amazing transformation I have seen. You have defined success for me. WOW!! Thanks a million times over for the motivation! GOAL - here I come!

Thanks for sharing your story....You and your wife look like completely different people (happier and healthier versions of the old yous). Ii am sure people not only at church in every aspect of your life take double takes. Keep up the good work. And, for the record you are an inspiration.

Whatever kind of breakfast you are eating, it is definitely working, "wanna be Grandma"!!!! Congrats on your fantastic success and sustainability! The fact that you came back again and again and have never given up regard is inspirational to us all (I just read your story on your page:smile: )

I had a homemade quiche and 14 greeen grapes. The Quiche has 98 calories when I make 10 servngs. I use the Non-Stick Brownie Pan that has the 8 separate loaf pan divisions (the other two portions are cooked in separate ramekins). The ingredients are 8 egg whites, 6 whole eggs, Spinach, Pace Picante, a bag of Jimmie Dean…

Thank you for sharing your story with us. This is exactly what I needed to see today as i "restart" and commit to "Finish what I started" two years ago. You have given me just the inspiration I was looking for this morning. The smile on your face in the afters is worth way more that the weight ticker under anyone's posts.…

Way to go Horserae! Those Miss Me's will be jumping out of the closet on to you sooner than you know it!

I second the heart Rate monitor because some days will be METCON's where your heart rate will be through the roof and other days you will lift weights slowly trying to get to a One Rep Max, it varies too much to try to guess.

Saying Congratulations just does not seem sufficient for what you have accomplished, so I am just gonna say WOW. What a fantastic job you hve done taking your life back. Way to go, keep it up. We are all in this together and you are leading us in the right direction!

"BUMP" is right. You know what you have to do. I have been doing CF since September. I do not follow the Paleo eating though... there's a reason we don't carry clubs, wear pelts and live in caves anymore...ha ha. Just kidding. I have plateaud but my body has changed drastically and muslcle has replaced soft places where I…

Funny, your muscle definition was the first thing I noticed!!! I am glad you posted this! needed some inspiration tody and you DELIVERED!!!! Great job! Keep up the GREAT work :)

Love, Love, love a supportive family, especially a child!

Look at those tiny legs!!! You are doing amazing work....your progress is fantastic. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!:smile:

The only person that needs to notice is you! It actually deters me when people start commenting. I yo yo a lot. People never say, " hey Jennifer you must be putting on weight, but they are quick to ask when I lose. I think folks just don't want to hurt people's feelings by mentioning it in your case. Remember 15 lbs is one…
