You’re inspiring girl! I’ve been where you’re at and it threw me for a loop. I had to fail many times but was finally able to lose almost 80lbs . I changed my eating habits. Monitored my portions (without counting calories)

so when i set my calorie goal on here...what should i set it as?

Oh boy then I'm not doing this right then. so far today I had 1520 calories, i burned - 997 and it shows a net of only 523 so i have to eat more? or workout less? or combo of both?

it may be more about what (and how much) you're eating than how much you're working out. it sounds like you're working out more than enough to be losing. losing weight and inches takes time. it took time to put it on and it will take time to get it off.

ice cream...yummmmmieee

aww i'm so sorry to hear about your cat :[ its better to express what you're feeling then keeping it bottled up so don't listen to your friends. technically your cat was your "friend" although he didn't talk back when you chatted to him, he was there no matter what i know what it feels like to lose a pet. my dog was bitten…

this does sound quite interesting.....hmmm i may use this lol :}}

its basically 10days for each level, 10 days on level 1, 10days on level 2 and 10days on level 3 starting out you definitely notice the soreness in the legs and arms! be prepared lol as good as a workout as it is i kinda wish it was longer 20-25 didnt seem long enough

30 Day Shred is a workout DVD by Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser....its supposed to be a really good workout! well i think i'm gonna go ahead and it. and see how i do on it.

check out this link.. http://www.bluediamond.com/applications/recipes/?navid=4 i use the blue diamond brand for almond milk but on their website they list several recipes for all their products including the milk. see if this helps

i do a milk shake..i use fat free milk(90cals) but an even lower calorie milk i would chose Blue Diamond Almond Milk(varies in calories from 40-60 depending on orginal and sweetened), 1-2 whole strawberries, sugar or sugar substitute, and ice. i change up the fruits by adding 1/2 banana or pineapple. normally it comes out…

thanks pals! i guess its never too late to start lol i just hope i'm doing it right, hehe

I'm in! Bring it :}}

one to two days. depends on how i feel. usually after a rest day i workout extra hard

i snack on Special K Fruit and Yogurt Cereal. 3/4 of a cup is 120 cals without milk. i also do a piece of fruit like an orange or even a handful of nuts like walnuts or pecans. if its after my dinner i don't like to eat but i will have a piece of gum to tame that urge.

awesome job!!!!

awesome!

i know what you mean. i had a slice of chocolate fudge cake at a bbq this past weekend and the sugar overload made me kinda sick. but an indulgence now and again is required.

you're fine! don't get yourself down. consider that your cheat day or treat. you acknowledged the fact that the food is not good for you so next time it won't happen. i think we've all been in that situation where you missed a meal and had no other choice to but eat what was available. just remember portion control and if…

many questions, i'm no expert but i'lll try my best to answer them and give you tips that have worked for me 1. in regards to having burned more calories than you ate....it really depends on how many calories you consumed. you don't want to be eating less than 1200 calories because then your metabolism thinks its in…

sure:)

welcome! i'm a few days new (old), you know what i mean. lol Good luck on your quest :):flowerforyou:

i agree with the previous post. just keep focused on your goal and don't let any setbacks from breaking your spirit.

:ohwell: i never noticed that before
