Damn girl!!! You look great.

Lookin' good, keep it up!!

April 12th. Same as David Letterman. :happy:

Wait until you are eating regularly again. I got food poisoning a couple years ago and lost 3 lbs over the weekend. Of course, the next week I was back up 2 of those lbs.

DUMP the sh|t out of him. I had the same problem with a boyfriend a few years ago. He started off texting me good morning everyday, and he would call on my lunch break to see how my day was going. Then he just quit. I didn't text or call him FIRST to test him and see if he ever would ... A MONTH went by without hearing…

Nope! I start with a base of 1380 and burn minimum 400 calories a day ... and tend to eat that and a little more sometimes. I'm over today by about 150 and burned about 440 calories.

- Eat your exercise calories (at least NET 1200) - Eat CLEAN - whole grains, lean meats, healthy fats, veggies, fruits, little processed foods - Drink lots of water - REST - Do cardio WITH 30DS. 30 minutes minimum afterwards and 60 minutes cardio total every other day (you should "alternate" cardio and strength. So since…

Any exercise you do will have a diminishing calorie burn because your body gets better at it and more efficient. The more you do an exercise, the easier it becomes your body, and the less effort it requires to do said exercise or activity. I was the same way with 30DS so I tried heavier weights on SOME exercises, as well…

You're allowed your opinion, but I disagree. It's a badge of honor for a woman to be able to show off her abs - it's such a hard thing to attain. If you get there, I'd love to see it for inspiration!

I used to alternate three different things. Now I get bored so easily with my food, that I have to eat something different. Today, even though it wasn't great carbs-wise, I ate 2 cups of peanut butter cheerios and an organic "pop tart". lol I'm having to play catch up the rest of the day as far as protein, but ... I just…

You look adorable! I love the print! :happy: Girl, you are gonna rock that thing come summertime, and I hope you post update/progress pics wearing this once it gets hot!

Great job! Gotta love that ab definition!

tight wife beaters short shorts flip flops I used to live in a black "wife beater" and my camo shorts when I was thinNER, and now there's just a lot of belly, so it's not as flattering as it once was. I also can't wait to wear a tight bandage dress and NOT have my belly hanging out. I want clean lines.

I would disagree that your journey has ended. Your WEIGHT loss journey may have ended, but this is just the beginning of maintenance and the rest of your healthy life journey. You should stay on MFP! :happy: Congratulations, too, btw.

It's great for beginners ... I had to move on to a similar type of machine, but the cross ramp has a different angle and the resistance works better for multiple parts of my legs, so I find it better than the elliptical - for me. I started with the elliptical, but I've gotten to the point where 5 minutes on it and my feet…

I mostly use 8 and 10 lb weights, would love to have a set of 15s, though!!! I do: bicep curls 8 lbs full set hammer curls 10 lbs full set swimmer presses 8 lbs full set 21s 8 lbs full set ? lumber jacks? hold a 10 lb with both hands between your legs, squat, and ask you come up, swing the dumbbell up, as you squat, bring…

I have a small silhouette of a hummingbird (as in, filled in black) on the inside of my left wrist. I work retail so it's not a big deal, but I have a couple bracelets that easily cover it if I have a job interview or plan to go to a more *cough* stuffy environment. I've yet to have a customer comment on it in any way,…

I'm not a lesbian, but you look bangin' to me! I've got curves and I definitely have had no problem with guys not paying attention to me - overweight or not. Overweight = bigger boobs (though when normal weight, I'm still a hefty C). Don't worry, girl! Do your thang.

because of fat. i mostly eat sirloin anyway which isn't as fatty. it just depends on the cut of steak.

I shop Old Navy clearance racks, Ross, and my current employer's clearanc. racks. I won't pay more than $10 for anything, because of having to buy new clothes frequently. Just bought a new work out tank for the first time in a WHILE, and a pair of longer light shorts until it gets hot enough to wear my short shorts.

I'd have to say chicken. I eat it everyday, sometimes twice in one day, lol.

I just like a tad bit of cut. Like Adam Levine. He doesn't have a six pack poppin' out, but he's cut in all the right places.

It definitely helps me! I've just added high intensity interval training into my routine. Instead of running fast for as long as I can, then walking... I run at a comfortable pace for a minute, sprint for 30 seconds, then go back down to my comfy running pace for a minute, then walk for 2 minutes, and repeat. I do this for…

Me! Almost 23 and in college. I actually do better while in school 'cause it keeps me on a schedule.

How is jello a liquid?

You have to cook it with other things that are naturally flavorful. I love it sauteed with some purple onion and BBQ sauce, and served on top of rice.

YES!!! I try to HIT protein, fat, and fiber, but stay under or close to my goal for carbs, sugar, and sodium.

I had the same thing happen to me. Been eating pretty clean and working out hard since the beginning of December, but hadn't lost since end of December, so about 3 weeks ... but then one of my MFPs said eat more fat, so I readjusted my macros... a week later, lost 1.5 lbs! :] Sometimes our bodies need a little more of…

No. I should make at least $1.00 more. I work in retail, but I work SO much harder than everyone else who makes 25 cents less than me ... and I even work harder than those who make more than me (and who's job position I'm currently in competition over).

My goal is 140 and I'm almost 5'4". Would love to have your measurements.
