Advised not to exercise????? HELP Fitness Minded Folks

To all the Beachbody folks

What do you think when you see a ripped female?
I've never been close to being 'ripped' but occasionally i've lost enough that I realized there actually were muscles underneath all of this mush.

Nutrition Plans - what are YOU using?

I have ALWAYS wanted skinny legs...is it even possible or does genetics override? Even at my lowest weight, my legs weren't thin. I'm just curious. And for all of you who have lost a lot of weight - will the skin tighten back up? I am by no means a "newly overweight" person - and I do work out like a mad woman - weight…

Just for fun.... My first "ahh crap" moment since losing weight - sitting on the "throne" and my ring slips off my finger - SPLASH! My second...WINTER!
