I never thought of it that way...my changes have been very recent, like two or three months. But your right, the difference in the way I preceive food has changed completely. Should have done it sooner! Thanks!

Borrowed a pair of shorts from my girlfriend who is super fit and skinny. She said they were a little big on her and I was still like these are never going to fit me in a millions years, they were daisy duke shorts! I think my underwear had more fabric then the shorts did!! lol. Guess what? They fit, and I got whistled at.…

Just so you know, everyone goes through some bad times, low places, off weeks...it happens, we are human. What I have learned from MFP, and the difference from almost 100 lbs ago, is the quicker you pick your self up off the floor (or couch), the less the damage is and the easier the recovery. I am actually going through a…

Count me in. I love JM. I saw a new video of hers I plan on buying and completely forgot the name of it. I rotate her videos every three days so this will be a new one. Are we taking measurements and sharing goals?

You are dangerously close to being anarexic. If you really are working out that much, you need to be eating at least 1800 calories. I have lost 70 lbs eating all my calories that MFP has given me. It took me a year, and you need to figure out if this 20 lbs is work it because if you loose it too fast, I would bet 100 bucks…

My parents always use to freeze chunks of fruit to put in the water bottles to add flavor during long tournaments for travel softball...it was a nice mix up. I would slip some green tea in there for a little pick me up for you and your boys. Triple headers are rough. Good luck! And you made me hungry!

PS. I know my ticker says only 59 lbs, but I didn't start MFP till I had already dropped 10lbs.

yI had to chuckle because I just posted this on my wall this morning. My cycle is 36 days. I have 3 day of ovulation bloat and starvation with hallow legs. The 3 days before my period and after, I retain water and gain around 3-5 lbs of water weight. Then the two weeks before I ovulate, I loose like crazy! It happens every…

Breast! I went from a 48DD to a 40C in 6 months. Face, then legs/butt. Belly is still a bowl full of jelly :(

Honestly, the only thing that works for me is a regular bra under my sports bra. If I know I am going to be jumping all around, it gets the job done. I too, have not found the perfect sports bra. And, I use to chaff really bad under the boob and I stopped that my wearing a thin tank top under the bras...made me sweat like…

I am also a huge fan of Billy Blanks Tae Bo videos. I do not have the newest one yet the PT24/7 but I plan on buy it after I buy my treadmill for my house. I have all of his videos except that pack and I love it. Fast pace, fun, changes it up. I slip him in there when ever I can't handle anymore creepy lesbian remarks from…

I love Jillian. The knee issues come from doing the wrong form or previous issues being irritated by the moves. I did her 30DS and her RI30, one right after the other. As is one during February and the other during March. I took measurements, which was a life saver because I only lost 3 lbs. At the end of the second month…

Log it and loose it. You might be over estimating your calories burnt.

Bottom line, if you can't afford it for the rest of your life....if you can't see yourself drinking this shake for the rest of your life....then don't do it. It has to be a life style change. This is a marathon, not a sprint. The faster the weight comes off, the faster it goes right back on. When you stop drinking the…

Well, first of all, it is a proven fact that your body takes up to 4 weeks to realize you are on a diet and to catch up. Second, water water water water water water. 3rd, you may not be logging correctly. Measure everything. 4th, you may be over calculating your calories burned if you are not using a heart rate monitor.…

I know sometimes it is a natural reaction the hormones and endorphin's released during lifting but this guy always worked out the same time I did, and he lifted heavy, heavy. HE ALWAYS got an erection, every time he lifted. Like a full blown hard on...always creeped me out.

Pro- if you actually do it, it works. con- changing your life style is hard work and many people expect weight loss to be easy...and it isn't. It makes you realize how disgustingly bad you were eating before MFP and it totally makes me judge everyone else around me when we eat. A lot of my family members get upset because…

It happens to me all the time but the funniest one to boot didn't even happen to me. I was a Hobby Lobby next to an Ace store, leaving the store with a cart full, I hit the unlock button to my grey mini van. Kitty corner to me, I see the lights on another mini van go off too. I stopped to check to make sure I had my…

We actually just rescued a Yellow Lab/Irish Setter Mix. She is two years old and weights 50 lbs now, was at 45 but she was malnourished. Vet said by the time she is three she should be 60 lbs full grown. She is a great runner when she is on her pinch collar. She does great when I am jogging, but when I walk, I am too slow…

I actually have this one and you are able to pick and choose you circuits if you want. It is a great work out.

I know this will sound sad, but every morning before I make my morning cup of coffee, I cruise the success boards, look at every "fat" person gone skinny, read their stories, and then go about my day. That, for some reason, is more motivating than anything I have yet to do. It makes me think about every piece of food I am…

Welcome, and congratulations of starting again. I too, am not very strict, I eat fast food and enjoy my ice cream. Feel free to add me. I log daily and give encouragement and beg for motivation. I have been working on changing my relationship with food for over a year and it is STILL a love/hate thing :/

My girl friend is having amazing results with the T25. But I love Jillian. I do her videos, then spend a month running my *kitten* off, and then come back to her. I always go back to her.

Dropping my squats like they're hot! They used to be so hard and painful and I could barely do 20. Now I am doing 4 sets of 20 with a 20lb weight.

That is so inspirational! I started at 260, now 210ish. I have been stuck for 3 months. I am also 27 with three kids under 5. I am sending a friend request. You truly have given me hope.

^this completely. As a high school starting pitcher, I was told by my pitching coach that I need to build muscle to gain pitch speed. My softball coach sent me to lift with the defensive players on the high school football team. And wow! In 4 months before the season started I added 12 lbs of muscle on my body between the…

I actually watched a documentary on women body builders and part of the scoring is how feminine they look. Because of their low fat percentage, they loose their boobs. Fake ones obviously make them look more like a woman, cuz lets me honest, if some of them had short hair, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I have been doing the 30 Day Shred for about 2 weeks now. The advice that was given to me what to buy Ripped in 30 and her Yoga Inferno and alternate because, like all videos, it gets boring. So I actually do Metabolism boost, Ripped, Shed, and Yoga, someimes more that one a day, sometimes I will do the same one the…

This. I have been eating this way for three months and I am down 20 lbs. Add me if you like and I can help you through it. The fast days get easier and easier and I find that body actually craves them now.

My biggest pet peeve is the chit chatty girls and guys on the treadmill that are running and carrying on a full conversation with the person next to them. They get louder and louder because they have to talk over the sound on the machine and them running. If I end up hearing them through my head phones, I stop and go…
