I hear this quite often from co-workers and my family especially when I haven't seen them in awhile. I still have 30lbs to lose, and am slowly working my way there. It is difficult when people are constantly commenting on what your eating, or trying to give you advice as they sit there stuffing their face with chips/pizza…

I had this problem I went from 195lbs - bra dd40 and was horrified when I went to get resized and realized I'm now a b36 lol. Ive since gotten used to my little ladies. The only way to get the proper size is to have someone measure you though , the girls at the shop in my area were super nice and incredibly helpful. I hope…

Ill start October 1st, I'm planning on going on vacation sometime in the next couple months so what better time to add strength training. I've been doing a lot of running but stopped lifting weights since I started training for my first half marathon so I'm excited to start doing some form of strength training again :)

Excellent :)

I bought a magic bullet at the beginning of the summer and love making smoothies. After a workout I love making my version of a chunky monkey protein shake 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 1 frozen banana 1/2 cup of skim milk 1/2 cup of water Optional : ice In the morning I like a green smoothie: 1/2 cup spinach 1/2 cup…

I love tilapia because it has such a mild taste , you can do almost anything with it. I usually put it in some tin foil with asparagus sprinkle cracked black pepper, fresh garlic and squeeze half a lemon on it. Put it in the oven for 20 mins. Take the asparagus out of the tin foil and then put the fish back in the oven on…

Hamilton, Ontario :) Add me. I only have one Canadian friend on mfp :-P

I used to have irregular bowel movements. I now take flax seed every morning with my breakfast and sometimes prunes. I find the more fiber I add into my diet the more frequent my bowel movements. Maybe try a fiber supplement if you have a difficult time incorporating fiber. If you think it is something more than just diet…

LOOL! I love you. You remind me of my best friend <3 Blunt and to the point & everything you was true. Some people are just comfortable being lazy. Its sucks but its their life. Keep up the fantastic work girl

If it is the saltiness of them you are craving try having a few pretzels? or you could pre portion them and work them into your calories for the day.

I have a large frame, my goal is 140, im 158 right now. So im almost there :)

That is so amazing! Congrats. You look great.

I look forward to gardening with my little sister! Last year we grew green peppers and cherry tomatoes. I think this year we'll step it up and try growing some other things.

I am working and then doing week two of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30! Im excited.

Once your start exercising again, you may not notice the soreness as much. At least that has been my experience. Also as a remedy for your sore muscles take a hot bath and put about 2 cups of epsom salts in and soak for about 15 minutes. Athletes have used epsom salts for sore muscles, strains and injuries so I think it…

Slow and steady wins the race. That was the advice I got when i ran my first 5k outdoors. Just pace yourself , find what speed works for you and go with it. Good Luck! :)

Im 23, 5'6 and 156 pounds... my goal is 140

Sweet Potato Hummus with cucumber is my new favorite snack!! It has a bit of kick to it , something about it reminds me of a meal I have had at an Indian resturant.

I too prefer to workout alone! Unless with my personal trainer but you don't have to worry about what the other person is doing , whether or not they can keep up or if you should slow down. You can go as hard or slow as you want depending on the day and can really focus on your workout. I think working out alone is the…

I think when anyone takes care of their body it is attractive. The girls I know agree that lean muscle is attractive but aren't too crazy about the body builders with veins popping out all over their bodies. If getting a ripped body is something you aspire to then I say go for it, you may just be looking in the wrong…

What about carrying 5 pound weights in each hand while on the treadmill? I have seen girls at the gym doing this, could be something new to try if you haven't already. :)

I live in Ontario so the weather is iffy. But I thank both of you for taking the time to reply to my post , great advice :)

Sweet Jesus! Chocolate cupcakes, and cranberry loaf . I love anything sweet but I met my indulgence qouta this season with three christmas parties. Is it weird to feel guilty for saying no thank you?! However I do feel good now that I exercised self control.

My thighs and glutes are really tight! Ouch. But its a great feeling :) Im not complaining

Try to remember why you wanted to lose weight in the first place. I also found taking pictures of your progress helps a lot. I know hitting the gym after a long day of work can be dreadful, but force yourself to go chances are you won't regret it. Especially once you've done it for a few days and realize that you have lost…

I I work the weekend in a kitchen and there are always cakes, and other temping foods around. So on the weekend I snack a lot at work on the wrong things. During the week I plan every part of my day , I haven't been doing the same on the weekend though

Im learning weekends can be brutal, but thank you so much!! Im going to take your advice:)

I find that carrying a lunch bag with my meals and snacks already prepared is a huge help when I'm out and about. This way you know how many calories your putting in your body and can be assured that your eating good quality food. Also if you have a car you can put a cooler in there with fruits and vegetables in case you…

Food is fuel for your body , which is a fine tuned machine. Food is NOT a therapist!

I've been running for about four months now and it really does get so much easier. You don't even think about it after awhile.
