  • We have an elliptical at home and I love it!!!!! I love to run but I have arthritis in my hips and it can be painful but the elliptical is easy on my joints. I listen to Zombies, Run! while I exercise...it's awesome!
  • I've been using Almased since June. I drink it 2x a day. I couldn't do the 3 day cleanse, it was just too much. I only use 6 tablespoons because I am 5'2" and I mix mine with a banana, some cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and unsweetened coconut milk. Tastes great. I've got lots of energy and I'm down almost 10…

  • Wow! Way to go! Keep up the good work!!
  • I started running in September and LOVE IT!!!! I started slowly. I'd alternate running and walking at first and then built up to just running with a little walking at the end to cool down. I recommend Zombies, Run! or their 5K app...I have the 5K app and haven't started it yet but intend to! I also highly recommend getting…
  • I have the Ultra and LOVE IT!!!! If you run or walk, it counts hills as sets of steps. Some days I go 25+ sets of stairs from all the hills. It's great!!!

  • I got a set of kettlebells and a Bob Harper (The Biggest Loser) Kettlebell DVD...OMG....I did it today for the first time. IT IS AWESOME! I love it!! I also have 30 Day Shred and No More Trouble Zones--both by Jillian Michaels. She's awesome as well.
  • WOW! You look GREAT!! Keep up the hard work...it takes time and you are doing it the right way! Way to go!
  • Good for you!!! You will have many more NSVs but the first one is the most awesome because it's what keeps you going! You can do it!!!!!
  • Almond milk has more calcium than cow's milk and is better for you.
  • You need to make YOU a priority. That's what I finally had to do. I had to do my weight loss/exercise for ME--not my husband, not my kids, not anyone else...ME. My exercise time--Monday-Thursday morning is MY TIME. It's my time to think to daydream, to blow off steam while I run. It is so therapeutic! Eating right has to…
  • Same here. On the days I run, I am not as hungry. On the days I don't work out or run, I am STARVING.....
  • Zombies, Run! is actually what got me started running 5 weeks ago. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
  • Do this for you and then see how your hubby reacts....mine is supportive but normally doesn't notice anything unless I ask him. I asked him the other day what he was gonna do once I lose weight and he has a hot wife. He said he's already got a hot wife...lol...well, bless him. I had 2 c-sections. One singleton pregnancy…
  • Well, I'm not running 5Ks yet but I ran my first 5 miles today! I'm really proud because I never thought I'd ever run or enjoy running but I do!
  • One thing I tried when I first started out and will probably go back to once it's really cold is Xbox. I did You Fitness Evolved 2012 and it has a HIIT training running routine. SO AWESOME! It's what got me interested in running. I now run at the park on the trails and LOVE IT! It also has lots of dance and stuff,…
  • Very pretty picture!! Yes, I know how that is as well....smiling gave me 2 chins...lol...I now have only 1 after losing almost 30 pounds. It's a GREAT FEELING!! You're doing great!
  • Thanks!! I do a game called Zombies, Run! on my iPhone and I have it set to tell me when I reach the next mile and it tells my time. I love hearing that "one mile" and then "two miles".....when it said "five miles" I almost cried. Running rocks. I fell off the wagon this summer mainly because the kids were home all day and…

  • WOW! Fabulous!! You are really an inspiration to me. I'm still in that phase where I think after pictures only happen to other people. Great job!!
  • That's great!!! Way to go!
  • You just gotta keep on keepin' on....I was down almost 30 but fell off the wagon in June when my kids got out of school for the summer. I'm back now. I have 4 more pounds to go before I get back to where I was and I'm going to keep on pushing it. You can do it! I know how it is to get off track but it starts to feel better…
  • You are AWESOME!! As a new runner, I am in awe! You go, girl!
  • WOW! Great job! That takes a lot of courage and I say bravo to you! You look great!
  • You look GREAT!! Keep up the hard work! You are an inspiration. I'm a chubby mama trying to lose weight and I hope I look half as great as you do when I do! Well done!
  • I love mine!!!! I have had it since May and it is awesome! I've reached 1000 flights of stairs and yesterday, I hit my first all time high with steps--I walked 20K steps!! It is awesome! You will love it!!!
  • You are too sweet and your wife is a lucky woman! SO happy to see couples encouraging each other. Congrats to both of you!!!
  • You rock!!! I have a child with special needs and I only hope he's half as brave as you are! Kudos!!
  • We have a Sweet Tomatoes near us here in NC....I LOVE IT!!!! BEST salad bar...yummmmmmmy!!!!
  • I do know that you can get a "fast pass" or something or other....it enables you and your son to go near the front of the line. My 3 year old is autistic and lines make him extremely impatient and meltdowns happen when we wait too long. I can try to ask a friend of mine who to contact to get this pass...we haven't gone yet…
  • I AGREE!! I have FB friends trying to sell it and it's annoying BECAUSE they know I'm trying to lose weight. They tell me the weight is falling off of them and I should do it too because I should be losing more each week than "just one pound".....I don't want to lose a truckload in a week. I have done well on my own since…
