SHE IS THE BOMB! LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL! I get sad when I see my before pics too, but girl it's time to CELEBRATE!!!! You look AMAZING! CONGRATS!

I'm so happy for you! This is what it is truly all about, good health!!! hugs!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right Diva! I do not want anymore health problems lol. The good thing is I eat carbs too. I try to have a balanced diet and eat everything. I'm just going to make sure to up the protein to a reasonable amount.

Yes no more slave to the scale for me...I've been doing really well and only weighing once a week, that is HUGE for me. And YES I will listen to my trainer and do weights first then cardio for now and see what happens. It's only been 12 days, I will give it a few months. Thanks so much y'all!!!!

AWESOME PIC DIVA!!!!!!!!!!! Great visual for me now!!! Love it! I am determined to work out for my heart!!! I have to! I'm in this for the LONG HAUL! Ain't NO STOPPING ME NOW!

I totally need to take my before pics ASAP, I'm just dreading it...but I want to see proof if this really works. So hopefully this Saturday lol. BUT for my eyes ONLY LOL!!!!!!

I'm starting to drink protein shakes in the morning again and after my workout, I'm hoping I can at least reach 100 grams...

My trainer would also prefer for me to use free weights rather than the machines but it's super embarrassing since it's where all the men are lol...he's also watching out for me and my daughter and said not to face a certain way so the freaks won't check us out when working out lol...so with that said I just feel more comfortable with the machines for now.

Yayyyy! Awesome! Congrats!

Yayyy congrats!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Best wishes! God speed

That's great control! I would have ate the whole thing! Way to go!

WOW! Awesome! I think my time was 14 minutes per mile when I did my 5K I can't even imagine 7 minutes! WOW CONGRATS!

OOPS I meant to say my hubby does cardio first then weights...I told him that was wrong LOL

So if a person wants to lose weight they do cardio first then weights???

YES! That's my goal, all about toning and building muscle, I don't want to lose more weight (don't want to gain either though). I'm just not sure HOW IN THE HECK I'm gonna get all this protein in...I started drinking Protein shakes again to help, but we'll see.

OK So I've heard different methods...my trainer said to do weights first then do cardio. My hubby does weights first then cardio??? Thoughts on this?? Also he said I need to eat 216 grams of Protein a day, SAY WHAT??? I think it's 1.5 grams per my weight (144)...there's no way! Does this sound right to you? Anyhoo, appreciate any feedback. Thanks!!!!!!!!

I haven't tried the vanilla either...not sure where to find them. They are not at my Sam's or costco.

You are so awesome! I just bought a case of premiere protein shakes and was just going to add ice and a banana to them. I need to start drinking them again for the extra protein since I'm working out now. Thanks for the recipes!!!

OK so er um I noticed no one in their 40's has actually come out and said that exercise has actually helped their skin look better (((sigh))).

Right! My hope is that building and toning the muscles will help the skin to look better...fingers crossed.
