So funny you should bring this up. I was at the credit union yesterday and it smelled like cabbage soup in their and the smell made me sick to my stomach. Twenty years ago I tried this diet and the first 3 bowls tasted great reminded me of Shoney's soup. After the 3 bowls however I couldn't stand the smell of it and would…

I don't think anyone has mentioned foam rolling. Roll you muscles before and after your workout. I was rolling after only and found that rolling them before the lift got the muscles ready for the lift. My calves are so tight that it always hurts to roll them.

I wonder what the grammar police aren't good at in life, because everyone has something they don't excel at. Would grammar watchers like to have their mistakes pointed out publicly? I don't think so!

Thank you, you made this easy to understand!

I keep my diary closed, because when I think people are looking / judging I fail. I have deleted someone that thought they should be able to see my diary. For the nosey nellys out there keep your eyes on your on plate!

Welcome back Steve!

My start was a Curves weighing 185 at 5' 5.5" Lost to 155 took about two years, but I never felt like I was on a diet. Curves will work great in the beginning, but you will have to move on. I choose zumba for a year and a half, my weight is still the same, but my tummy looks so much better! After a lot of research I…

Thank you for sharing your story. You look terrific, keep up all the hard work!

Interesting! I kept looking at the two dogs wondering if it was the same dog.

This would piss me off and I would b!tch to the poor workers at curves about it. They knew exactly where I was coming from.

To much perfume!

I'm 48 and burn 250- 350 calories an hour doing zumba. I know ladies half my age that burn 800-1000 calories per hour.

1 TBS. of preserves in your smoothie makes the smoothie taste like you got it at a juice bar.

Bump to read more ideas, for use.

If you could choose just one food to live on, milk is the perfect food balance of carbs, protein amino acids. You could survive on milk.

I was up 5-6 pounds for the first couple months. I would suggest taking lots of pictures at different angles and after finishing stage 1 take the pictures again wearing the same bra and outfit. My measurements went up on my bicep by .5 inch down on my waist by .5 inch and down on my quad by .5 inch. Everything else stayed…

Food poisoning could take more than 24 hours to show up.

You have to hold your breath to tie your shoes.

^^^ Thank you for sharing, I'm 48 and my saying for years now has been, "getting old sucks". I'm going to try harder to embrace where I'm at.

I just started lifting on the big boy side of the gym last August. I did my research read books on lifting and watched you tube videos. I walked around a couple different times to get the lay of the land. When I finally got the guts to do it I had a couple questions along the way. The guys were supper nice and helpful! I…

WOW!

This is great and I want to read it again. Thanks for posting.

WOW! You have inspired me to lift more often. I find it hard giving up the cardio classes. You look amazing!

Going to save for later. Thank you for all your hard work!

Food doesnt have to wow your taste buds, it just has to taste just so . This statement made me think, if my taste buds are wowed I'll want more. Itsfine to wow your taste buds, but it doesn't have to be every day.

Thats normal for me as well.

My mother-in law has very dry skin and iches and also gets white rough patches on her skin. The doctor told her years ago to wash the spots that need washing and do the washing in the sink. Only get in the shower once or twice a week. The lotion and soap he liked is cetaphil.

Bump; I want to read it all and have my hubby read your story as well. Great job, you look better than terrific! : )
