Nice Job!! Keep it up :happy:

Lat Pull downs work well, if you go to a gym. The dreaded push up is awesome for toning the back and arms. Tricep dips on a table or window ledge with your feet on the floor works the tris and back also. BTW - you look awesome, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)

IF you can get your hands on a copy, try a Richard Simmons workout.... it's very fun even though the music is completely dated! They have overweight people doing the workout on the video as well as thinner people. You might want to give Turbo Jam a try. I used it when I was over 230 and it worked for me. With any workout,…

"If you lose anymore weight, your face will disappear." Yeah, like I have control on whether or not I lose weight in my face.... :tongue:

I loved Weight Watchers online when i used it with the meetings. Once I couldn't find time to attend the meetings, I felt it was money down the drain... MFP is just as good and the support online is fantastic!!

Yup... the exercise definitely helps!! The main reason I exercise is so I don't have to eat like a bird. If you can live on only 1,200 calories, that 's great, but I know for a fact that I can't. So I usually add 600-800 calories to that a day because that's what I burn off in exercise. I do spinning, kickboxing and…

Well... IF you have a fat *kitten*, then at least you can lose weight. That person is stuck with stupid. ;) Seriously, whenever I'm doing some sort of exercise that I don't like, I chant to myself.. "Move it, Lard *kitten*". Use it as postive motivation.

Thanks so much for sharing your story! You worked hard and look AMAZING!!

I agree - cake batter is AWESOME!!! Not "protein-tasting" at all.

The people who save 4 spin bikes for themselves and their "friends" Seriously? If you want a particular bike... GET YOUR *kitten* THERE ON TIME! :grumble:

That. is. AWESOME. :D

Sounds like a great challenge! Been on MPF since January 2012 and have lost 28 lbs.... would like to meet the 25% lost of my start weight by June. :)

Awesome job! A great inspiration for me to stick with it!

I having been using protein (whey) powders after my workouts, mostly at night, to help me from eating at night. I found a great powder online... the flavor is called Cupcake Batter by All The Whey... but they went out of business. :( Have you found another brand that doesn't taste like, well, a protein drink? LOL I'm…
