You look FABULOUS!!! So proud of you, girlie!!!

AMAZING work and dedication!!!! Congrats to you!!

I'm 5'6". Last year at 190, I was in a size 16 in Levis (I like them because they seem true to size). Now I'm 162 and a size 12 in Levis that are getting a bit roomy (Yay!). I freakin' HATE vanity sizing. I try to keep in clothing that I know run true to size.

So, SO glad to see this is on here! I've heard a lot about Janelle's version, but never seen it. Glad to see her version is more "active" than the hybrid in the TF book, as that one seems kind of slow going to me for some reason.

Northeast Kentucky girl right here! Feel free to add me :)

You're gorgeous, girlfriend, and a wonderful inspiration to me daily!!! :heart:

I was able to find sugar-free strawberry glaze in the produce section of my grocery store. I dip strawberries or apple slices in it and it's SO good! It's just like eating strawberry pie without the guilt. :smile:

Somebody posted this link the other day that calculates your calories to zig-zag them, which is said to help in a plateau. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

I'll be 39 in June and hope to be at my goal weight by the time I turn 40. My headline on my profile says, "50 before 40," so I have 33 pounds to go until goal. I think I can, I think I can... :laugh:

Mine is set at 1510, I think? That's set for a one pound per week loss. I'm 174 pounds and workout 6 days/week, so general daily calories vary between 1510 on my rest day up to 2000 on my more active days.

I'm 38. :smile: Anyone on this thread can feel free to add me, though I must warn you, my latest update post is about needing a pizza cheat day! :laugh:

Levi's 505 jeans (stretch mid-rise). I bought my current pair used on eBay for $20. Can't beat that! I can't see spending a fortune on clothes right now since I hope to shrink outta my current ones :)

You're amazing!!!! Congrats!!!

5'6" 175 lbs Size 12 Levis mid-rise (snug, but wearable without feeling cut in half :laugh: )

I'm in a snug 12 in Levis right now. Finally decided a couple weeks ago to get serious about my diet and am down 5 pounds @ 175. I've NEVER been lower than a 12 and that was after high school (I've been as high as a size 22/24), so I'm excited for these 12s to get roomy. LOL

I thought at first she did a Fergie :laugh:

Tagalongs - The most evil cookie ever invented (besides Oreos). I could probably polish off an entire box in one sitting. Never have, just saying I probably could. :laugh:

That's neat! I saw something like that on Pinterest and thought it would be really great motivation to have something like that.

I've named my scales El Diablo. I feel your pain.

Here you go. See if this comes close. http://caloriecount.about.com/chicken-machboos-recipe-r712662 Here's another one: http://www.food.com/recipe/Traditional-Bahraini-Chicken-Machboos-Machbous-304034

I found a few recipes after a quick search. Looks like one serving (unsure of what amount that may be) is around 400 calories, so you should be okay to figure that in. Enjoy it, but use your willpower to not overdo and you should be fine :)

Have you ever tried just figuring it into your daily food intake? We fail when we have to give up the things we love to eat. You may have to cut down on portion size, but at least you'd still be able to indulge a bit. If you could figure out the calories, etc., just work it into your daily meal plan.

I got that, too, by some guy that used to ride the bus with me in school. As soon as I got on, he would start and everybody would laugh. I was mortified and completely devastated.

CW: 178 GW: 145 I'm 5'6" and 38 years old. The lowest weight I've ever been that I can remember was 159 pounds and that was a few months after I graduated high school, but I didn't stay there for long before it crept back up. I have this weird fear that my body just won't cooperate and get to my goal. :laugh: When I hit…

Sounds to me like your "friend" has a thing for you, she just went about it in a very rude, immature, and hurtful way. You're a really nice looking guy, so don't let what she said get to you because comments like that can demolish a person's self-esteem (been there/done that). I'd definitely weed out negative people like…

Usually at night is when my sweet tooth kicks into high gear. I found sugar-free strawberry glaze that's helped combat that (10 calories for three tablespoons) and dip strawberries or apple slices to curb it and it works.

If you like lifting heavy, you'll LOVE push! It's more isolated moves than combinations. It's not as intimidating as it seems. :smile: Great results on the burn circuit! Congrats!:drinker:

It used to bother me to workout in front of my husband, but I never really cared if the kids were around. I felt like I was absolutely KILLING myself during my workout when my husband was there. Call it performance anxiety or something...who knows. Now I just don't care. He's generally on his laptop or eating (saying he…

I have Danskin capris and workout tanks from Walmart that have lasted at least the last 2-3 years. I got excited the other day thinking one of my tank tops had a hole in the side seam so I'd have an excuse to buy some new tops, but it didn't, unfortunately. :laugh:

I wanted to add, this girl is in my friends here and her TF results were phenomenal! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/257221-and-guess-what-pics-included
