WHOA. That sounds AMAZING.

I miss my giant amounts of Thai Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice. They don't sell it in small amounts... and yeah... moderation with certain things? Completely impossible for me. :)

The Shred RULES, it's how I started and I have lost 30 (I am finding I want to lose about ten more, so I am still sticking with the program). That said, results are not overnight, especially when you are only losing a little. Make sure you take your measurements as well as follow the scale, because a couple of times I have…

Natural Vitality's Naturally Calm supplement is really helpful for me. It is basically magnesium citrate, which a lot of people lack. I saw it discussed on a little web short about how to get better sleep (it was a problem for me), and so I ordered some online (the lemon-raspberry flavor). I really like it, and it seems to…

It is an AMAZING workout. I could barely make it through the first time (I was 174 the first time I did it), so KUDOS TO YOU, YOU DID GREAT!!! I would recommend stretching out A LOT more than what she has you do on the DVD at the end. I did the thing where you lay on the floor and cross one leg over the other and then…

If you eat 1/4 a cup of oatmeal, for example, you would add .25 to get the accurate amount.

I paired Shred with about 30 minutes of walking a day (plus a LOT more stretching than she does on the DVD) and I had really great results, I was really pleased. I have Ripped as well, but I confess I didn't stick with it as well as I did with Shred.

I think you are on the right track! I saw this saying that was something like "it takes four weeks for you to notice a difference, and twelve weeks for everyone else to see the difference"... it's totally true. The results will not happen overnight and you will feel like you are working out to NO effect, but don't give…

I learned where I was going wrong with calories (I thought my breakfasts were too big, but they were 300 cals. My DINNERS on the other hand... yikes). I also learned that it is not the worst thing in the world not to eat cake if it's there. It's also not the worst thing in the world to indulge every once in a while, it…

I agree with this. Plus, you can't tell if someone is healthy just because they are thin (or unhealthy just because they are fat). That's a myth, but it gets perpetuated all the time in our culture. And now there'a a display at Disneyworld so REALLY young kids are getting exposed to wrong information, and getting…

http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2007/01/santa-fe-pumpkin-chowder.html This is one of my FAVORITE recipes. SO good. :)

I grew up heavy, and that psyched me out a lot when it came to attraction. I thought only certain REALLY good looking guys were attractive and if I couldn't get a really gorgeous man, I wasn't interested in anyone else (and I never dated said "gorgeous men" because I never attracted one, partially because physically I was…

I did it! It's not bad, it tastes like bitter tea. You drink like 64 oz a day, I think? I drink a LOT of water every day so it wasn't a problem for me. You do it WHILE eating a balanced diet, it's not intended to be a fast. I did it right when I started watching calories and working out in September last year. I didn't…

Roasted cauliflower! Spray with olive oil, roast at 425 until it's brown and crispy, then lightly salt it and eat it with ketchup. Swear, it tastes JUST like fries.

This article talks about a lot of the studies that have been coming out lately about vitamin use. I don't take any, myself, I just try to get lots of fruit, veggies, green tea and water. I also drink homemade kombucha from time to time (it's got lots of probiotics and stuff in it). Maybe this has some helpful info for…

I think you are making great choices, you just need to eat more calories!!! :)

WHat a good idea for a thread! I started losing weight at 174 and I wore a 12, and I still kind of fit into a lot of those pants, but now I am 151 and I wear a ten. I come from bootylicious genetics, though, so I think I will probably always be a larger size on the bottom than on the top... but it is interesting that I am…

Nice! I wish they'd make an ignore feature for Pinterest, too...

38! And seriously, I wouldn't trade a DAY!

Don't expect perfection! You are doing great already because you are choosing to be here and post about your struggle. No matter what, tomorrow is always another day. Heck, today is still a day! You got this. :)

I know how you feel. I wish I was just one of those people who can eat whatever she wants and always look great... I actually work with a girl who looks like a model and I have seen her eat RIDICULOUS amounts of food and it NEVER affects her outwardly (I don't know, maybe she has a cholestorol problem or something, but it…

I think sometimes people can't help feeling like that, I know I am no stranger to jealous feelings. BUT, as a true friend, it is my job (and every friend's job!) to keep themselves in check and not let those feelings get out of control and start some frenemy nastiness. I don't blame them for being jealous, your pic is…

I wish I could do lots of regular push ups... and I also wish I was one of those amazing pretzel-yogis!!!!

Yeah, I wish they would come out with a baked fry. I roast sweet potatoes in a little spray olive oil at home all the time and they are so much lower in calories and fat, and they are actually pretty nutritious as well. Don't beat yourself up, though! You logged it responsibly. And now you move on, to bigger and better…

I eat a lot of frozen chopped spinach because it is low calorie and SO SO good. My favorite thing is to sautee a little onion and mushrooms in olive oil cooking spray and then throw in a can of butter beans (drained and rinsed) and let them cook a little bit (so they get a nice brown on them) and then dump a bunch of…

I LOVE vegweb.com!!! It's a HUGE recipe database, and a lot of the stuff listed there is VERY easy to make! One of my favorites is the Tofu Loaf: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7688.0 This is my friend Cadry's vegan cooking blog: http://cadryskitchen.com/ This is a list of the most popular recipes on vegweb.com:…

You look FANTASTIC! Congratulations!!!!

I think boobs' primary function are to feed babies. Therefore, it is really on us if we are scandalized by the sight of someone feeding their child. That is a problem wholly in the eye of the viewer, not the mother and certainly not the hungry kid who is, let's face it, probably also screaming UNTIL it gets fed. So I say…
