^ True true. My hubby went on the low carb diet when he was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. He adheres to that and walks 30 minutes EVERY day. He lost 50 pounds 2 years ago and has kept it off. But I think men's bodies react better/faster. We are both on the same plan now. But I try to get more protein but that often…

Oh My!

Def under calorie goal. Last nite I had to eat something as was too low but was not hungry! I loved it!

On a day with no exercise - my standard fat intake should be 46 grams. Today I will be at 86. Major items are Salmon = 25, almonds as snack = 36, turkey meatballs =10. I have my protein at 100. Thanks for advice!

Thanks! Good info re insurance.

Thank you for the details - very informative!

Get the 17 day diet book, read it, and check out the 17 day diet blogs on this website for support. That book really taught be great eating habits (no fruit or good carbs after 2pm. etc) Each cycle is only 17 days. Anyone can do something for 17 days right? I never previoulsy monitored what I ate as I was skinny most of my…

You look Fabulous! But Details! What was your exercise routine? Calorie intake! I am 5'10" also. Doing 1300-1400 calories a day and working out 4-5 times a week doing 30 minutes of cardio + weights and floor. Getting there but much slower than you. I am an old broad so that does not help! Keep up the good work!!!

Very awesome! Congrats! Stay healthy and happy!

Wow! Major Bump! I was afraid to take "Before" pics - always hid from camera. Love this!

Have "good carbs" before 2pm. black beans work the best for me 3 days a week. And of course lots of water. Don't give up!

Thanks posters!

Wow! Curious what was your BMI before and after? So sorry to hear about your miscarriages. That can be so traumatic to the body and soul. Hopefully you were able to have a precious one. Thank you so much for sharing your workout ethics and progress - it is great to see! Keep it up!

Pizza and bagels? at a gym?!?!?! Is that how they make sure you have to sign up again and keep coming back? hahahahahaha

I hear you! Freezing them makes them all the better! TG They only sell them once a year! We do need to create a work-a-round to eat well but not totally deprive as it backfires at weak times. I do not want to get back into that pattern. PS - I do love going to the gym..who would have thought!

Ahhh! Thanks Ladies! I appreciate your words of encouragement! I love this website. Such awesome people! I took the other half of the box to the office so I stopped the madness! hahahahahaha!

Wow! You look Healthy and Fabulous! Share your efforts if you do not mind. Exercise routine, food bests. Much thanks!

I did as Danascot/Weight Watchers suggested - bought 2 pair of basics at a great sale price so I did not look so unprofessional. It felt great! Also bought a new pair of jeans on sale - had to take them back for an additional size smaller! Wahoo!

Umm - you are at 2 days in a row - guess you do not have a life!

Umm - it is about consistancy, commitmment.and getting fit utilizing the My Fitness Pal tools. All else...Wow! Everyone is so inspirational! Great posts!

Hi! I am Valerie. My goal is to lose 75 pounds so I live longer and healthier for myself and my son. I have been losing about a pound a week and am happy with that. Not willing to give up my Margarita Fridays or Wine night Saturdays! I feel like I made it through Thanksgiving terrific! Did not overindulge but did not…

Hate to be Debbie Downer but negative means you ate more calories that your defined goal allows. Do some cardio to compensate!

Thanks all! I have already gone on itunes to listen and download! Keep 'em coming!

I do not want to sound like a cult but get and read the 17 Day Diet and go to the 17DD blog and read the posts! It is a great plan. It is about lifestyle change and every 17 days you mix up what you eat to fool your body into weight loss. The the bloggers are the best! I loss 13 pounds in 6 weeks. Do not feel deprived. I…

Read about the 17 day diet ( there is a blog on here). It is the best! Not a fad diet but a lifestyle change. Three main cycles of eating that confuses your metabolism. No fasting - all healthy eating.

I live in so Cal so plenty of sunshine; drink milk, love yogurt. I was also diagnosed with very low Vitamin D. Took (under doctor's order) 50,000 unit pill once a week for 16 weeks. Also take 2000 units per day. I think it must me a menopasal issue.
