I agree about losing slower than you do BUT I work my *kitten* off everytime I'm at the gym, always have (how i lost 70lbs before) and always will. That is why every body is different and have to work with what they have which is what i am doing now. Congrats on reaching your goal weight in 7 months! That is inspiring and…

i sure will. I start my new job next week and know its gonna be a big adjustment from getting up at our own leisure to rushing out the door. I'll probably just gonna use my protein shakes i bought for now and maybe later down the road see how I feel about it then. love your honest answer to this :)

on no, i love your answer! this is exactly what I wanted to see. how other people use it to there advantage. I too have problems with giving in to cravings and would want to find a better alternative. I'm probably going to just drink the protein shakes I have for now thought. thank you so much for sharing your experience.…

willpower and strong mind is what helped me lose 70lbs last time. I have that. Maybe my choice of words is incorrect. its not harder but i have noticed the results don't come as fast, for me at least, like in my 20's. This is just my observation about my body.

Oh yeah, and 1500 calories a day is too little for as much as you working out. Make sure you calculate your BMR and never, never , never eat less than this amount, EVER! I eat about 2100 calories a day! [/quote] oh and i got the 1500-1600 calorie intake range from myfitnesspal and from the metabolic testing . Myfitnesspal…

I'm on week 2 with my meal plan where I eat the same breakfast and lunch everyday for a week and man what a difference of calorie intake. I can see before this i was just stuffing my face, with healthy food, but over eating. Now I know exactly what I'm having for breakfast and lunch everyday and it's simple.

I'm gonna try this! Thank you for sharing. :)

no problem. :) its crazy how your body changes with age AND after having kids. We can lose the weight but it just takes longer time to see results.

Aww, that is soo sweet of you. Thank you for the nice compliment! :) And this is why I am on the quest now instead of 15 yrs later on practicing on eating better. I have a friend that's trying to get me to on this Shakeology diet. I rather learn how to eat a balance meal without relying on some shake. That's not my style.…

Best believe I have been weight lifting since after my first child and i agree it is amazing the health benefits you get from it. That's how i lost 70lbs the first time. I am not saying I can not lose the weight or because i am in my 30's that its impossible. I am only realizing that it takes more effort to lose the weight…

I do believe it is mind over matter. I agree with you there but there is a change in the metabolism the older you get. my point of the post was I see it now and know i have to adjust accordingly.

Thank you so much for replying to my post. At first I thought maybe I was trying to find a excuse for not losing weight but the. After a month it hi me my body is just not the same as it was before and I have to adjust accordingly. Thank good goodness I'm not alone in this. Lol thank you!

I heard the same exact thing from a friend back in my twenties. Lol its crazy how we think we're unbreakable. Ha! My husband still thinks that. But i told him my main focus will be what I put on my plate workouts i can maintain. I can't imagine trying to insanity at 60 yr old. I already have degenerative arthritis as it…

That's awesome. I like hearing how you use it because you have a busy schedule and its a better alternative than say Starbucks. You make it work for you. I will be working soon, woo-hooo, and will need to start making morning shakes with using my protein powder I already have on hand. Thank you for sharing. :)

My friend turned, coach only mention joining her team when she reads my FB post when I mention my weight loss journey. I recently reached out to her thinking I will get an honest answer of her experience with the program but instead she went into full sales pitch mode. smh I'm all about just eating sensibly and it has…

Exactly. I never want to depend on some shakes years from now. Journalizing helped me lose 70lbs before but thought just maybe there was something else to this program since I keep hearing about it. And I'm always want to keep an open mind to try new things. No, I am not a Beachbody member. My friend was my co worker ago…
