You are AMAZING, INSPIRATIONAL and GORGEOUS! :flowerforyou:

There is a Pomegranate Green Tea that I totally love. I think it is from Biglow. Regular or jasmine green tea is okay but kind of blah to me byt the Pomegranae Green Tea I could (and often do) drink every day.

There are a lot of body weight exercises that you can do without hand weights even. Like squats, pushups, lunges, crunches, burpees, planks, and so many more. Walking is great exercise so don't knock it! You can also try adding in some running in intervals until you work up to running all the time. :flowerforyou:

I'm all beans and greens :tongue:

Yes, I agree with this. What are you eating at now? How tall are you? What is your body fat percent? Sounds like you have found your maintenance level for your current weight so eat less or exercise more. Maybe stop cheating so much or offset them with a big workout that day. Honestly I really don't have cheat days or…

Good thing it's breakfast so you have plenty of time for some extra workouts!

Thanks, some people posted on my feed suggesting the same thing. I watched the first video today and downloaded the app. I also checked out my gym to see if I had the equipment which isn't quite right but I could make some adaptations i think to make it work. :smile: :smile: :smile:

I just posted a similar topic (didn't notice this one until after) so I am also fishing for suggestions :smile:

I need to remember to take a photo of mine and post it here :smile:

I don't eat a lot of processsed foods but I do eat things like bread, pasta, tortillas, yogurt sometimes. All of those things I do consider to be processed foods. Sometimes I do make my own bread, rarely do I make my own pasta but I've done it on occassion. I usually make my own salad dressings and stuff like that but…

I eat mostly vegetarian and I never substitute vegetarian convenience foods, I think that is as false a statement as saying meat eaters ets lots of processed foods. A whole foods plant based diet is the healthiest. If you eat meat you should eat less of it to be healthier. Not just for your personal health but also for the…

I think you must be an exception, this is not common. But well done for you! That is the holy grail right there!

It looks pretty cool and I would join but we are moving at the end of May and I won't have access to a scale for a while so I wouldn't be able to do the final weigh in.

Gender: Female Age: 40 Height: 5'4" SW: 199 CW: 181 GW: 146 for healthy BMI then re-assess

When you eat below BMR you lose muscle and so while you might be losing weight once you reach your goal you will have to eat less calories each day in order to maintain because your metabolism will have slowed down from losing lean body mass. If you eat a little above your BMR you are less likely to lose muscle (you might…

I'm at 181 now and first big goal is to get to 146 which puts me at a healthy BMI - then reassess. I've been as low as 125 in my late 20's and I was seriously hot then!

My husband is 6 years younger than me and I never dated or thought about dating anyone that much younger before ... keep your options open folks and don't rule out someone based on age alone ... says the 40 year old woman with the 34 year old husband, :smooched:

Like everyone else here is saying there are different ways of achieving the same goals. Currently I am set as sedentary and I eat my exercise calories back. I could change my settings to moderately active and NOT eat back exercise calories and it would be basically the same total calories I was eating each day. If you are…

Juicing is great! It really does change your palette so you want to eat healthier. A juicing reboot is a tool in a larger plan for healthy living, not the only tool. If you visit the website for Joe Cross (rebootwithjoe.com) you will find tons a great recipes and articles on healthy living, and not just about juicing. My…

Sorry duplicate post!

This is the one I love: http://www.amazon.com/Royce-Impact-Free-Sports-S826/dp/B0054MR4UI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top I'm a 36G and while they still do move a bit with this bra it is so comfortable and if I bounce a little doesn't bother me (unlike every other bra I've ever tried). I hate the compression type bras but if you…

Have a mango, they are soooo good, better than any candy! Or you can make faux ice cream with banana: freeze a banana (after it is peeled and cut into smaller pieces) then blend it or use your food processor with 1/4 cup cow milk or almond milk. If you want you could add a little honey. If you want it chocolate-y you could…

6 - 7 days a week cardio mostly on the bike or occasionally on the elliptical, usually around 30 minutes but sometimes less (minimum 20 minutes), sometimes more (like an hour) every day 10,000 steps with my fitbit 3 days a week strength train for like 15 minutes nonstop (circuit training no rests) 3 days a week 15 minutes…

And if you are down with fish here are some fish taco recipes I totally love: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/grilled_fish_tacos.html http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/beer_battered_fish_tacos_with_tomato_avocado_salsa.html The cole slaw that is included in the grilled fish taco recipe is the bomb and I make it with any…

I've done this too and it is good :smile:

Chick peas or black beans both work great - just add cumin or taco seasoning or whatever. If you want you can mash them up with a potato masher. I have also used a combo of corn and zucchini with taco seasoning and that also works great. I'm not a big fan of meat substitutes but instead of tofu I would use tempeh and…

A huge difference! I am moving next month but after the move i think I will try to 30 Day Shred too! :flowerforyou:

I weigh daily, first thing in the morning. I often weigh in the evening, too. I like to see the little fluctuations so I know they are normal and really don't mean anything. I try to only let myself update my weight on MFP on Mondays and Fridays though if I get a big loss on another day that sets a new low for me I might…

Hear hear! :drinker:

I went to your page and saw that in fact you have huge amounts of awesome! Now remember who you are and don't forget it! :heart:
