Someone told me it started as Twilight fan fic.

Italian ice is a good idea. I love that stuff. I also love soft serve ice cream but I have to stay away from it because thats one of my biggest problems right now. There is a McDonalds right next to my work and I get off at 1030pm and I always want ice cream and it's killing me. I'm also an emotional eater so if I have a…

See I want to break the habit. I know a treat here and there is no big deal, but I can't give in everytime and I'm tired of fighting it all the time. It's a habit I wish I had never started....

That's actually a good idea because I won't want to eat after I brush my teeth.

Uh yeah. LOL I'm going to put a post it on the cookie thing that says "STOP! 200 cals per cookie". LOL

LOL Thank you. Now that you say butter lettuce, that is what it looked like.

I think I've found a major problem area already. I've been allowing myself one or even two to three cookies as a "treat" when I work and for one I didn't realize how often I was letting myself have a "treat" and for two I just looked up the cookies last night and they're over 200 calories A PIECE, so if I have two or three…

It's not free but her Extreme Shed and Shred is REALLY good. Kind of the same principle, but much harder and also longer. :) Great job finishing the Shred!!! Are you posting before after pics in the BG MFP thread? (I'm Mrs. Post-tato Head by the way) LOL

No I'm not at 1200. It put me there, but I manually increased my cals to 1400, but I just did the other calculator thing and it says I should be at 1700 with 3x per week exercise.

Yeah I'm not going to change anything just anything. I want to see what's up first. And I will check it out. Thanks for your help.

Yes I have a wonderful coach. I've messaged her this morning already. :) And I think consistency is a problem because I'm trying a lot of different things, but I haven't really given them any time to work yet, so I just need to keep up with it.

How do I figure those things out and where I should be at?

Yeah you're right. I'm going to.

Yeah I know all about that. When I did 30 Day Shred I only lost 11 lbs of the promised "20 lbs", BUT I lost MAJOR inches and my body changed drastically. I have a friend who's a BeachBody coach and she's talking to me about other options besides Insanity, so I'm looking into Brazil Butt Lift and Turbo Fire right now.

What's BMR and TDEE??

My clothes are still fitting great and my measurements are the same, so I'm not losing inches, but I feel really bloated and yuck no matter what I eat. I wake up bloated :? That's why I'm trying this cleanse for right now even though I don't believe in cleanses because you just lose water weight, I still need to get…

Yes because I was getting obsessed with every single calorie and I was working out two times a day almost six days a week and wanting my net cals to be negative.... I was becoming way too obsessed and the stress was causing me to plateau even with all the exercise, so I backed off and tried to keep eating healthy without…

Yeah I haven't been logging for about 6 weeks and the first 3 weeks were fine and I still lost weight, but now I can't get it off. I know it's something I'm not seeing because I'm not logging. The biggest change I've made is drinking energy drinks and getting Starbucks. I order sugar free syrups with fat free milk, but I…

Holy crap! Nice job!

Why on Earth do you want to weigh 155 lbs???? You look AMAZING already! My DH has also gone from about 300 lbs to 185 lbs and he's done. He's 5'8". Don't lose too much. I don't know how tall you are, but you look AWESOME right now! Great job!

I know right!! LOL I Googled "up downs", but got plank videos. The one where you're in plank and go down on elbow then the other, then back up on one arm then the other. I think I found something that works though. I found one of a guy doing burpees and getting REALLY low, so I think that should work.

No because you don't go into you plank. You actually go all the way to the ground and lay on the ground, THEN come back up. UGH. I wish I knew what this is called. Is this just some sick joke the trainer plays on us? LOL

You're so pretty! You were pretty before and you're even more beautiful now! You look amazing! Great job!

A lot of you are mentioning low carb or cutting starches. Is that something that helps a lot with hypothyroidism???

I too have hypothyroidism and am losing weight. I do low cal/low fat/low sugar/low sodium. I watch calories and fat the most, but also try to watch sugars and sodium content. I find it IS a little bit more difficult to lose weight with hypothyroidism, but it IS coming off. I still lose about 1.5-2.0 lbs per week when I…

I have the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga and I think it's great.

Thank you :)

That's certainly a possibility. I DO get a pretty good amount of protein (I eat peanut butter, beans, and chicken (sometimes beef), but probably not enough. I don't eat hardly any eggs...I just don't like them, plus the yolk has too much cholesterol for me (as I'm borderline "cholesterol" problem). If I do eat eggs I only…

LOL I certainly don't mind any advice, unsolicited or otherwise, if it will be beneficial to my health goals. Have to LOL at "the small pink ones" because that's pretty much what I use right now, but mine are blue...3 lb-ers. LOL I just use them for my workout DVDs at home and I use 5 lb weights during cardio kickboxing…
