Blech I missed day three... I should have done it this morning when I had time. I planned to do it tonight, but my day at the hospital (I'm a nursing student) went for way longer than expected. So I guess I'll just continue with day three tomorrow. At least I got in some walking/running this morning. I still feel very…

Yay!!!! I love seeing goals checked off!! You are doing so great :) Very inspiring...

LOL! I know I hate those side lunges! On day one, I was completely falling over for most of them. I think I kind of got it today though for day 2. My calves were BURNING today. @JTThomas and Brk_1982 I had the same question about other weight training and if we are supposed to not skip days... I have a weight lifting class…

wow super cool! Thanks for posting :) It's not often I get to see what other women who are 6' look like at different weights :) Maybe I'll post to the site...

hmmm I eat a LOT of cottage cheese.... INTERESTING!

WOW! I didn't realize I was so out of shape.. and I've been going to the gym pretty consistently for a while now. If this doesn't get me into shape and help me lose some inches and lbs fast, nothing will! I'm impressed. And dreading tomorrow haha.

haha that's awesome! I've also been kinda putting it off all day... I guess I'm going to just get it over with and see just how tough it is!

I'm the same way. I can't just have one - it's like one taste of sugar or "bad food" is addictive to me. I've been doing the same as the OP... I'll do amazing for 10 days to 2 weeks, and then I'll think "oh I can have one small treat"... but then that will turn into a 2-3 day massive all-out binge. There's got to be…

51% face 49% body haha seriously, it's about equal in my book. But I guess face just a TINY bit more important.

Alright... I measured and it was not very fun, but I hope measuring in 30 days will be a lot better! But what is up with my right thigh and forearm being bigger than my left?!!? LOL! I'm just a freak, I guess. Chest - 34 Bust - 39 Waist - 31.75 Belly Button - 37.25 Hips - 45.5 L thigh - 26.75 R thigh - 27 L calf - 15.5 R…

A healthy person (and by heatlhy, I mean someone who is able to pee... who has functioning kidneys) will not be harmed by drinking a ton of water unless they are drinking EXCESSIVE amounts.. like gallons and gallons and gallons. A healthy person's body will balance out the fluid by just making you pee more. And yes, you…

I'd like to join a few weeks late... SW: 197.5 Week 1 (14/10/11) Week 2 (21/10/11) Week 3 (28/10/11) Week 4 (04/11/11) Week 5 (11/11/11) Week 6 (18/11/11) Week 7 (25/11/11) Week 8 (2/12/11) Week 9 (9/12/11) Week 10 (16/12/11) End Weight (23/12/11) lbs lost so far: 0

sooooo shall we take before and after pics too??? To help with motivation?

I usually measure my waist at the smallest part and at the belly button... I'm really high waisted. I think I'm going to measure Sunday just because I've kinda slipped up with eating yesterday and today and I don't want to count in extra bloating inches - I want it to be as accurate as possible! Though I'm sure they'll…

Oh awesome idea about the spreadsheet! We could update every week maybe?

Count me in too!!! I'll probably do my first day Sunday because I have to buy the DVD. Do you know if you're supposed to just do the video or if you can do other exercise too.. like extra cardio (running, biking)? Also, should we post our "before" measurements/weight? Or maybe just wait for the results haha :-p

Innnnnteresting...! anyone notice significantly better results from doing this?

Hi I'm so sorry about your kitty. *hugs* I'm not sure of anything else to say because only time will heal this, but I wanted to say something and that I understand - my cat, Zara has been by my side through thick and thin (literally lol), and I know I'd be devastated to lose her. Be kind to yourself during this time :)

hah I just thought of another one today while at the gym... while in a public place, just randomly walk or run up to someone suddenly and sniff them. Then just turn and walk away with no comment. Or you could be like, "ooooooooooooohhhh..." and nod knowingly :-p hahaha I think of these all the time, but I don't have the…

hmmm... -floss your teeth in public -wear completely mismatching socks with an otherwise traditionally classy outfit -randomly stare at someone for a bit too long and then laugh maniacally -take something out of someone's shopping cart saying, "oh wow thanks so much! I needed that!" -cut in line and see if anyone says…

My ex definitely cried watching "The Notebook" though he tried to hide it. That was actually the first time I ever saw him cry now that I think of it...

I have read (and have seen that it helps me too) that you should have a goal to try to eat 30 grams of protein within 1 hour of waking, and eating it within 30 minutes of waking is even better. Supposedly it really revs up your metabolism. I've kind of tweaked this idea if I'm going to work out - I'll just have something…

Wow, thank you so much everyone!! You are VERY encouraging... I'm so happy I found my fitness pal :) I will experiment with upping my calories since I think trying to restrict them to as low as 1200 is probably too little for someone of my height and activity. Also, I'm going to *try* to go 2 weeks without looking at the…

'Thank you, you're definitely right about that. :) I just thought maybe people might have had a similar experience in the past and had gotten through it with a tip/trick of some sort. I just want to lose it normally and be healthy!!! I'm sick of dealing with food like it is an illness.

lol, I know, right!? Well I would go to the doctor if I had money to throw around. I'm not sure what they'd be inspired to tell me anyway. Every time I see one, they just look me over for about 5 minutes and tell me everything's hunky/dory. I'm in nursing school so I'm allowed to say that lol... we can rag on doctors on…

I know, I'm really kicking myself for the water fast thing... you know at the time, I was thinking that I would just do water indefinitely lol. VERY dumb idea. But I start getting irrational when it comes to losing weight sometimes. Thank you for replying :) And yes, I'm doing 5-6 smallish meals and trying to do all clean,…

wow thank you!
