Upstate SC here too :)

i LOVE olive garden. i used to get the FULL plate of chicken scampi with parm on top. i'd eat ALL that plus have about 3 or 4 breadsticks with alredo dip and a salad and most of the time 2 sprites. =x chicken scampi has a butt load of calories.. no wonder i had so much cellulite! lol

wow. i had a double patty melt last night with 2 kinds of cheese and it wasn't that high in calories. =x and if it was -shrugs- it was delicious and i lost weight. lol fat is not the devil so i don't worry about it. you know that you're going to work it off so in my opinion that only makes it taste that much better!

werk it girl, you look amazing! =)

i only eat my exercise calories if i'm hungry. the weeks i've tried eating them all i've gained every single time. i'd say that's probably because i have 50 pounds to loose so my body doesn't need it all now. moving is moving regardless =) i log my heavy cleaning days since i only do them about once or twice a month. but…

the stories like this always make me feel happy inside =) you look fantastic and i know your hubby is gonna pass out when he sees you!

my kids are 2 and 4 and they don't understand the term "inactive" lol. they've always been active so i've never had to worry about that even when my husband and i both were overweight.. ok, i STILL am but i'm attempting to work on it! both of our kids do real exercises regularly. if it's really quiet but i hear jumping…

first and foremost, harry potter is the bees knees =) 2ndly you look sooooo much younger. you look great!

woooot! i haven't worked out much at all this past week. been tweaking my eating to better suit what my body needs. tired as hell today though from consuming 3 bottles of wine over the weekend with the hubs =x BUT i shall get me 911 4 times this week. my themesong for the week will be wyclef and mary j- 911 lol

someone has been watchin a lil too much how to lose a guy in 10 days with his wifey =) LOL

lol.. i'm loving the title =) so happy your sex life is bangin.. no pun intended hahahhhaaha

WOW! you look fantastic! honestly.. i would have never guess you're as young as you are in your before pictures. you look incredible now!

unfortunately, as much as i LOVE me some chocolate bars, i can't participate in this challenge =( i'm trying to get my yeasty issues under control and any time i consume excess sugar, BAM the yeast infection comes back harder. but, i'm imagining how yummy those chocolate bars taste!

so.. when you're finished, can i borrow some strength and willpower? lol =)

very cute doggies! and i can definately see a difference in your belly, it's much flatter

none are going to be accurate unless its based off your heart rate while doing the exercise. sometimes it can get close but i'd suggest getting a hrm for more accuracy

32 minutes left for the day =)

897 for the day =)

i've got 2 under my belt =) today and tomorrow will also be 888 or higher days. this challenge has been awesome. i know i can push myself during a workout and i know that i can work hard, but honestly i've just been half assing it. i'll burn 500 for the day and be done. to really reach my goals i realize that sometimes i'm…

i love my personal trainer.. but i have to cause he's my husband. =) lol i know i'm fully capable of doing it without him but i like to do it with him. anytime i get stuck and don't know what to do he pulls out another tough routine and gets me going again. he's a big motivator to me in this journey. him + mfp = easy…

i think i will be making some iced coffee today!

my husband and the trainers at the gym always say "abs start in the kitchen" you can work all day on trying to rid yourself of the belly fat, but if your diet isn't good, it's almost wasting your time. i'd start doing more core exercises other than just sit ups since they only work one of the belly muscles. i think a lot…

i've heard a lot of people doing paleo so i think i'm going to check it out. i haven't seen any bad results from it. thanks for all the links you guys are posting, this is very helpful.

the next time i hear stuff about eating your exercise calories and starvation mode i'll be sure to link them to this post! thanks for the great information!

well.. my diary is open and i could care less what anybody has to think about my food choices. i mean.. i consume green peppers and onions for at least 1 meal, sometimes 3 meals a day. so you could say my diet is a lil boring. if you scroll back a few days you'll see i had 4 servings of 200 calorie each brownies. =) this…

i just had this today for lunch except i used honey bbq sauce, bell peppers, onions, and a lil bit of sharp cheddar. i was able to have 2 tortilla pizzas for 333 calories! i'm cooking the family chicken pasta tonight for dinner so i'm going to keep some of the chicken for myself so i can have some chicken bbq pizzas…

-sigh- those look so tasty. BUT i can't be mad at him for it. my husband does that too. i figure i've got to be strong for myself. it's not his fault that i'm fat so he shouldn't have to be punished by not being able to enjoy tasty goodies. he's worked hard for the body he's got while resisting temptations from me when i…

so. my sweet husband asked me to make him his favorite brownies sat. i made a pan and omg they were soooooooo ooey gooey delicious. we polished off almost the entire batch at 200 calories PER brownie. you know what makes it even worse? we made ANOTHER batch on monday! once again i ate entirely too many, 5.. to be exact.…

made it to 894 yesterday. woot! we will see what i do for the day. my stomach isn't feeling so hot so i don't know how much i'm going to push it. wish me luck!

hrm. for some reason the less weight i am the more it says i burn. O_o my heart rate is normally only in the 150s while i'm taking a break. during my workout it stays between 170-200 depending on what the workout is and how hard i'm working. yesterday when i did turbofire my heartrate stayed 195 almost the entire time. it…
