in a week or two I will be at my TOM, I'm never regular, but I'm always painful and heavy! I usually miss a day of work even. it sucks! I started this program the week of my last period. I will let u know how the next one goes! is it close to your Tom? if your a week or less away, take a preggo test. that can give you…

it worked! gonna post :)

i'm gonna go try this right now! and then i'm going sledding lol

angel food cake with diet strawberry or cherry 7Up is awesome too!!!

i'm baking a chocolate cake today and using a can of diet pepsi instead of the eggs and oil. it's delish. top it off with light cool whip! i got that recipe from weight watchers a long time ago.

i don't know, but Eye of the Tiger gets me fired up!

For me right now, it's about diet. I'm an emotional eater and I will run to the worst foods for the smallest reason. So, keeping myself in check is very important. Right now I only do Cardio 3-4 times a week. But my diet must be daily.

i agree with changing things up a bit. you may need to, i guess, shock your body again? there could be a number of factors. i have heard that the last 10 to 15 lbs is the hardest to shed. don't give up, just try new things. and take a look at your calories... i'm thinking taking in a few more healthy calories will do the…

do you take measurements?

good job! keep it up!

lol, i actually record mine. i don't know, i record everything i put in my mouth! lol

lucky you! i want a booty :)

I'm a Chili's fan, but Applebee's low cal stuff is pretty good I've heard!

My husband and I went to the movie last weekend. It was my cheat meal/date. We got popcorn which we haven't had in FOREVER at the theater. Well, let me just say, we must have gotten the bottom of the bucket because it was terrible. It was like burnt crumbs. Needless to say, I didn't eat any of it, and I don't really want…

It's a mindset. You already have the first part, not wanting to lose all the hard work you've put in already. You must just get back to what you were doing! Don't beat yourself up. It's a lifestyle change. You have to overcome these obstacles! You can do it!!!

All I can say is that whether or not scientifically they can prove if the consumption of 8 glasses of water is connected to weight loss, it definitely makes me feel a lot better. I can easily drink 8 glasses of other drinks in a day. Why not hit the water first before I put empty calories into my body? Eight glasses of…

also ask that they not prepare your meat and veggies in butter! those are hidden calories... just put some salsa on top. and if you like the relish (carrots, onions, and peppers) dump that on top. spicy foods are said to help speed your metabolism! enjoy now i'm hungry! :)

okay, what is insanity? i don't think my body would be ready for this, but sounds interesting!

congrats on losing the 31 lbs so far! that's a great accomplishment. and let's be honest, you do still have a long way to go. but you've already gone too far to turn back now! slow and steady. that's the healthy way and the best way to keep it off! this site will be great for friends and motivation. a lot of people have…

OH ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so I didn't drink quite as much, but I loved my pop! I had to have it in the morning with breakfast. The thought of water in the mornings just made me ill! But, since I've started trying to be healthier, and drinking more water, I don't allow myself to drink ANYTHING else until…

That's exactly how I felt this morning! Thankfully this site is a great support and many brought me back to reality!!!! Others had been there before and continued to follow the plan and are being very successful! Definitely helps to post your positives and negatives on this site! There's a lot of helpful people out there!…

It's so funny because I just posted something similar to this earlier and I've read posts like this all day long! Don't fret! Give yourself some more time. If you were losing then you were doing something right. Make sure you're drinking lots of water. If you had a lot of sodium in the last day or so, that could effect…

I just want to clarify that everyone's bodies are different. And although not everyone will start gaining weight right away, it is very possible to gain weight if you starve your body. It was a suggestion. :) Women's weight can go up and down. I just had posted this morning about being frustrated because this morning I…

you would gain weight because your body will start storing the food you are eating instead of just using it for fuel. then your metabolism slows down in order to make what foods it gets last.

I know you say you're not starving your body, but you are really burning some fuel with all of that working out! You mentioned 3 meals at about 400 calories each, with a fruit at each one of your snacks. You can't really be taking in more than 1400 calories. With all that working out, I would say you definitely need to be…

i started out weighing myself once a week. then when i started seeing some results on the scale i became a little obsessed with that. so last week i started weighing like every other day. this morning, to my disgust, it went up for the first time. let me tell ya i was so discouraged! i don't want to weigh every day now. a…

this probably isn't the best way to track it, but i don't want to count it as exercise because i'm just doing something normal for me. i just say if i want to have a couple drinks while i'm out, it's a wash. i burn it all off more than likely anyways. i'm sure a lot of people are going to tell me this isn't a good idea…

i probably burn 1000 because i love to dance and once i get on the dance floor i don't stop. i'm ringin wet with sweat by the time i go home. all my friends have these cute pictures from going out... i'm a mess, wild hair, sweat dripping down, make-up ran off lol. it's a good thing my husband gets to see what i look like…

My emotions trigger my eating! I MUST plan. If I don't plan, and I have to decide last minute what to eat for lunch or fix for dinner, then I will not make the best choices. So the night before I try to plan the next day's food. I log it. If I didn't put it down, then I don't eat it. Even if my husband surprised me and…

bahahahahahaha:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
