  • I am a THM follower. Feel free to add me.
  • I am the same way. In high school I was very fit and played sports daily. I was 145 and skinny and wore a 4 and at tops a 6. I had muscular butt and thighs too. My goal now is 155-160.
  • You have done great! Very inspiring. This helps me because I am the same way and people won't believe me when I tell them how much I weigh. Gone down several sizes and only lost about 10 lbs. Just getting more compact and defined!
  • bumping thanks for the recipes!
  • Awesome job! Sweet abs and beautiful smile! You did great!
  • Thanks! Everyone is doing so great!
  • Yes he will catch on one day. Since my husband does none of the food shopping I also control what types of food are in the house so this helps a lot. DH is doing well with his weight loss and exercises alot but I know he snacks at work because people bring in a lot of food. I try to gently encourage him and give him…
  • Got it to work by using Flickr BB code BEFORE December Monterey Aquarium with the family. Had already been using MFP but this is the best pic I could find DSCN0243 by jones1900@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr TODAY 20120324_121450 by jones1900@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr
  • It is so odd. I cannot load anything on Photobucket. It keeps shutting down! I use it all the time. Not sure what is happening. Would love to post a pic.
  • Great job and I can tell such a difference. Hmm, I need to take some pictures and that would be motivating for me too. I need to find a picture from December and then take one of myself now. I should have time tomorrow.
  • Do you update your weight at MY home and then check in? When I do that it updates my ticker. If not, see if customer support can help.
  • Wow look at those abs! Great job!
  • Wow this is a great thread. Ladies, I can definitely tell a big difference. It shows for me on my face too because I tend to be "cheeky" with these dimples of mine. Oh well at least it makes me look young. Jen, you are doing great. It is true.We did not get here overnight but look how much progress we made inso little…
  • Angel that is so awesome that you are also making lifestyle changes. That is very inspiring! Melissa-you are rocking it, girl! Great DH is motivated too! I am so cheap that I am still not feeling the Kohls prices for new pants. I rarely go to thrift stores. Do any of you? Wondering if I should for jeans. I would hate to…
  • Great job. This is awesome considering you have 5 kiddos. That is not easy!!!
  • Way to go everyone!!! This AM went to kickboxing and the instructor is so cool. She is also a trainer so she is really intense but motivating. After I was doing some strength training after class, she told me that I really inspire her. Awwww! That was so motivating that the instructor would tell me that I inspire them.…
  • LOL I wonder the same thing
  • Yes and that is why some people gain the weight back because it is hard to sustain just lowering calories over time. I like how it talks about losing fat is important and not just pounds. Both are important but for long term loss, fat loss is key. That can explain why some people yo-yo diet because the fat storage is not…
  • I also do a lot of Jillian Michael DVDs-right now I alternate Trouble Zone DVD and Shred it with Weight for my strength training. I kickbox 3 times a week at the gym but when I am doing cardio at home, I love Turbo Jam! It is really fun and you lose as much lbs and inches as with Jillian if you really stick to it. I now…
  • I am so glad I saw this story. This is what happens with me and I was getting discouraged. I am getting so toned and losing inches but not seeing it on the scale-but slowly but surely. Thanks, you help me not to give up.
  • I am so glad I found this thread. Was feeling frustrated with the scale. I always gained muscle really easily and have muscular arms and legs when in shape. Most my friends think I have lost 15-20 lbs since I just started really watching my calories on MFP. Hmm try more like 5 which is frustrating because I am working so…
  • You look stunning! Congrats!
  • You are awesome. Great job!!!
  • I am not doing 30 day shred but just LOL on talking too much. I am doing her Shed and Shred with weights kettlebell workouts every other day because I do other cardio on the other days and she does really talk too much. I really like the effectiveness of her workouts though. I actually really like Chalene from Turbo Jam.…
  • These meals sound delicious. I love the sound of the pork tenderloin! Here is mac and cheese Martha Stewart variation Ingredients 1 small butternut squash (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups) 1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock 1 1/2 cups nonfat milk Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of…
  • bump for later such funny stories!
  • This has not been updated in a couple of weeks so just wondering how we all are doing. I have to keep a schedule of my workouts so I stay focused. M, W, Sat I do an hour of kickboxing at the gym T, TH Kettlebell workout-Jillian Michaels Shred with weights; I am liking this so far. I am using 10 lbs on level 1 so I may try…
  • LOL We bought a 1/4 cow a few months ago and had Tbone steak last night. It was great. Very lean and had with tons of veggies. Mon: Organic soup and sandwiches (tonight is gym night so low on time and I have these yummy soups for us) Tuesday: Baked fish, rice Wed: roasted chicken and mac and cheese (I have this recipe to…
  • Wow what a difference. Great job! I am 5'7" and curvy. My goal is 145-150.
  • Wow hope you feel better! I should have taken my measurements because people keep telling me I lost a lot of weight. I am still down about 3 lbs but I know for me inches show first. I do want it to show on the scale too though. Must be a mental thing but I know it would help me to know all this hard work is paying off. I…
