I won't yell, kick, or hit- but I'm pretty good at positive reinforcement motivation! I could use the more friends to push me too!

I work out just at home. I have one piece of equipment, a stair climber, then I like to do just videos off of you tube really, I just search whatever kind of workout i'm in the mood for and find one that is an amount of time that I want and that looks good! I also have 30 day shred by Jillian Micheals which I must admit I…

My biggest struggle is Sunday. Every Sunday my kids and I go eat at my parents house. My dad is a phenominal cook, seriously, especially Mexican food. He works out of town during the week so he only gets to have good homemade dinners Saturday and Sunday so I don't wan't to ask him to cook differently. This past sunday I…

YES!!!! I am having this problem, I actually googled it last night and apparently it is pretty common at least in Cycle 1- there seemed to be a lot of different opinions why, green tea, no grains, body adjustments, etc. My mom also was "suffering". There were a lot of suggestions online- prunes, grapes & apples, miralax,…

I also have not been sleeping very well. Like above, I have no problem falling asleep but my sleep seems kinda restless... I was hoping I would get better rest from the diet, but only time will tell I guess, I'm only C1D8

Well guys, it is day 7 for me and i'm feeling really good, I had one of those darn summer colds over the weekend but starting to feel much better and energized today. Tommorow is my weigh in, I am excited to see my scale results although the many NSV's I've encountered have been great. I have turned down many offers of…
-
Oh no that is not good...maybe try making some veggie soup with chicken broth you could even add a little ginger to it. Do you drink hot green tea or cold? I drink mine cold like iced tea and it's good...although I have always liked cold unsweetened iced tea so... I sure hope you feel better soon. Just keep going, I know…

Thanks!

I notice a lot of Cycle 1 recipes using shredded parmesan cheese so I assumed it was okay, I have yet to find fat free but somebody on another site said everyone uses regular.
-
Well today is day two, so far so good. I will admit last night was a bit of a struggle as far as cravings. I wasn't hungry but couldn't stop thinking of sweets, ooey gooey cheesy things, or carbs. It wasn't terrible, though I did have some problems sleeping, I don't really know why. I also have a headache that comes and…
-
So I am going to share a couple recipes here because they kind of go together or seperately... Also you have to bear with me, i don't measure a lot of this stuff so i'll try my hardest Bruschetta salad: 4-5 Roma tomatoes diced (regular work fine as well) 1-2 garlic cloves minced 7-8 basil leaves (fresh) julienned 1/4 onion…

Have you read the part in the book called "Special considerations" there is a chapter in there dedicated to a modified diet for PMS time! You should check it out!

I wish there was a "Like" button on MFP so I could like both your comments! lol

My stomach was growling about 10-15 min. before lunch as well! I am feeling good surprisingly being my first day and all. I thought I might be lower on energy and stuff but just finished lunch and feel great. I had a kefir smoothie for breakfast and a chicken salad "unwich" (made chicken salad with greek yogurt), veggies…

Strawberry Peach Spinach Smoothie 1/2 cup kefir 1/2 cup greek yogurt 1 cup of strawberries & peaches (I used fresh, but frozen works great too-just omit ice if you use frozen) 6 leaves of fresh baby spinach 3-4 ice cubes put in a blender (or magic bullet is what i used) and blend away! *a note on this one, i think you can…

Hi HM, I am beginning this diet tommorow. I want to start off by saying this diet was made up by a actual physician, I think that is very important to note. I also almost wouldn't quite call it a diet as really it is just a way to get you to eating healthy and right... and just want to say I am not all knowing on the…

Hi everyone, My name is Caitlin, I am a newly-single (well still in the divorcing stage) mother of 2 young children ages 5 and 6. I am 30 years old, 5'4" and about 50 lbs. overweight...I think. I am going back to school soon and really looking forward to a new chapter in my life. I have always been overweight, I cannot…

Hi everybody, I am beginning 17 DD tommorow and am so happy to find some others that are doing it! I am pretty excited I think it looks like a very healthy plan. Was wondering if anyone knew if Avocado was allowed in cycle 1? I don't see any mention of it being allowed or not allowed. So for tommorow what I have planned…

Congrats girl, good job!! I just got under 180 which was huge to me, it has taken me a really long time b/c I yo-yo dieted so long, but this time I am in it for the long haul so getting somewhere I had wanted to for so long was really exciting. I still have a long way to go but really feel I might be able to do it this…

Well my journey has really just begun and I was going to wait to weight train until I got some initial weight off...but after seeing this I am going to start now. Probably light lifting at first though as I'm a beginner. Thanks for all the awesome pics. and motivation, you all are amazing!

Just discovered "Zucchini noodles" and I am in love! I just shred the zucchini on a box grater using the large grate. Salt it and let sit for a few min. to start sucking moisture out. Rinse then lay out on a paper towel and try to suck up more moisture....I don't know if all these steps are needed but it's what I did. Then…
-
You are my inspiration!!! Good job, I hope I look 1/2 as good as you when I reach my goal. I keep thinking there is no way even if I loose the weight I want to (CW-181; GW-135) I will not be able to wear a bikini b/c of stretch marks from having my two kids and loose skin, but you give me hope that maybe...just maybe I…
