i switched to vegan about 6 weeks ago and i dont think i will ever go back. I have twice as much energy and feel great. I am eating way more veggies then i used too and im cooking at home instead of eating out. Its been a great change for me and my husband. I just need to stay away from those vegan chocolate chip cookies…

something with shrimp and avocado would be very healthy and not too high in calories. i get a roll at a local place that has shrimp, spinach, avocado, and cucumber, but i leave the spicy sauce off because it adds a lot of calories.

what a difference! i also love the hair cut, very flattering for your face!

you are very inspiring and i think your goals are admirable!

that is some super will power! i always give my dogs the leftovers, so i dont eat them!! but my one older dog is getting a little pudgy, i wonder if they have a mfp for dogs! lol

body glide is amazing. you can usually get it at running stores and some sporting good stores. i have used it for sports bra chafing and also for blister prevention on my feet. i haven't found anything better than body glide for preventing chafing and blisters.

congrats!! putting on your own clothes and seeing that fit better is just about the most motivating thing ever!! I just recently got back into my size 12 pants and it felt great!! Keep going and you will have to buy all new clothes cuz your old clothes wont even fit anymore!!! :-)

I get asked the same thing all the time and i just tell them H2O and leave them wondering if it is some kind of fancy european foundation or celebrity secret!! hehe but it is great when people give you compliments!

I would get the ones that go over the top of your feet for running. i have the ones that dont and they tend to slip off if im doing anything more than walking. I really like mine alot. i dont think there the best for rocky terrain but they work great for running on treadmill or on a paved path.

they do me!! i dont recommend eating anything before doing these!! i had a few bites of banana before i started my working and that banana just kept repeating on me the whole time i was doing burpees!

i cant do them exactly like this ripped chick does but my trainer is having me work up to that! I am hoping that doing all these stupid burpees will make me look something like the chick in the video!!

you start in a squatting position and jump your legs back to a plank position then jump your legs forward to your hands again then do an explosive jump up.... then you do the whole thing over again.

my trainer makes me do burpees then planks for a minute after i finish my burpees. i better be able to wash clothes on my abs after a few months!! :)

you start in a squating position and jump your legs back so your in a plank position, then you jump your legs back up to hands and then do an explosive jump up and then do it all over again!! sounds like tons of fun doesnt it! :)

i get on to my husband if he doesnt do them right, so i guess you could say i am his coach!!

i only do them cuz my personal trainer gives me your really lazy look if i try to wuss out!!

the coconut mocha frappacino light is amazing and it only have 120 calories for the small size and it is totally worth it when i need a sweet coffee fix.

this happens to me if i workout with nothing in my tummy. i usually drink a full glass of water and eat a cheese stick or some granola before i workout in the morning and it stops me from getting sick. i usually give myself about 10 minutes of slow walking to get warmed up before i really crank of the speed and that seems…

that is pretty speedy!! great job and it sounds like your 1/2 marathon will be a breeze for yah with your new playlist!!

try those special k protien waters, they have lots of fiber and protien and they actually taste pretty good. you could drink a few of those a day and get the extra protien you are needing.

I had a very rough weekend too! I did really well all friday until some freinds invited us to Abuelos (mexican food) and they have the best chips in Tulsa!! Me and my husband did share enchiladas but i am pretty sure i ate a whole basket of chips all by my self. then to top it all off, i ate a quart of ben and jerrys ice…

that is great and noticing little things like that can be a real motivator!!! keep working hard and working towards your goal!

dont do it!! it wont be worth it. you will eat them and then you will wish you hadnt eaten them! be strong!!

What about working at a gym as a trainer or fitness consultant? You would get to work in the health/fitness field and also use your psychology degree to help people over come there fitness battles! You may be able to start out at a gym and then maybe even start your own business as a personal trainer.

I would try keeping a journal of your thoughts and feelings. I know when i am struggling with something, if i just write it down its helps me get it off my chest per say and also work through the issue. journaling can be very cathartic and you may actually learn something about yourself that you didnt know before. Some…

i really like the leslie sansone walking dvds cuz they dont hurt my joints!

try the leslie sansone walk away the pounds. you can do those! you can start out slow and work your way up to doing them at full speed. you have to start slow with exercise and work your way up to more strenuous activities. if you start out too fast or too hard you could burn out or hurt yourself. when i started i just did…

holy buckets! you can tell a huge difference between your before and afters! your waist is much more defined and your butt is totally awesome. i am jealous of your arm muscles too! way to go and keep up the hard work. i want to start p90x when i loose more weight, but i tried the fit test and im not ready for it yet, so i…

great job! i dont think i would have been that strong. i think banana bread is just about my most favorite thing to eat!! i would have eaten the whole loaf while sitting on my butt at my desk! you have incredible will power and you should keep it up!! :)

ive always been told loosing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. I would focus on what your caloric intake is and be really good about tracking everything you put in your mouth. my husband guessed he was only eating around 1500 calories a day before he started tracking his food, turns out he was eating about 2500, so…
