I'm at 191 lbs and am set to lose 1 lb. a week and my daily calorie goal is 1,490. But if I set it to lose 2 lbs a week, my calorie goal goes down to 1,200. Mmmmm, that's okay. I'll stick with my 1,490 cals a day. :)

I don't have a heart rate monitor, but do you know how I log it? I use Leslie Sansone DVD's and she tells you how many miles you walk. Soooooo, if I do a two mile walk, I log very brisk pace (4mph) for 30 minutes, which is the equivalent of 2 miles. You can't go by how long the DVD is b/c Leslie starts out slow, speeds up,…

I smell a troll, unless this person is completely stupid. No one said grapefruit and oranges were fatty. They was talking about size and weights. Someone who weighs 140 lbs and has a lot of muscle is smaller than someone who weighs 140 lbs and has more fat.

This is really mean. This is the crap that people have been talking about when they say that people are jerks on here. Ugh! Well, at least you made the troll look better...

Not counting pregnancy weight, my heaviest was about 225. This was when I was 22 and in college. I lost 65 lbs and got down to 160. That is the lowest I've been in my adult life. I relapsed and gained weight after getting married and then got pregnant. The highest I got while pregnant was about 245'ish. After each of my…

I looked at her other posts, and it looks like she's not pregnant yet, but wants to be, and is looking for ideas for staying fit during pregnancy. At least I hope that's the case.

I agree that's too low. I don't know what it is, but people eat 1,200 to lose weight, and you're not trying to lose weight. Sure, you're not trying to gain a whole lot of weight either, but you don't have to be that low in order to maintain or slowly gain.

Shamefully, I eat fast food at least once a week. You're my friend, so you've probably noticed.:) It's not something that I'm proud of, and I'd like to stop eating it so often. But sometimes I'm out and haven't been home to cook, and fast food is appealing. Anyway, our favorite place to eat is Chick Fil A and I get grilled…

Congratulations! You could be carrying yourself differently. Also, if you had a lot of thigh fat, and you couldn't put your legs together before, and now you can, that could add some height.

Sure, people know it's unhealthy, but I don't think they REALLY realize how many calories are in things. My husband likes to eat a lot, but here recently I've been telling him how many calories are in things, and he's been cutting back. He likes to eat 3 hot dogs in one sitting, but when he realized how many calories was…

Sheesh, I guess I'm stupid too b/c I've gone in a store before and forgot that I needed a smaller size. Cut the guy some slack. To the OP, he didn't mean that you still looked like you needed a 20. He just forgot...like I've done for myself. Just when he gets used to you being in a size 18, you'll be in a size 16 and then…

Hula hooping!

I want to do a Disney marathon! I really wish it were closer. Traveling to Disney is not so easy. I think we're going next November, but we're going with family and we have to all agree on dates. If I can't make it to the Wine and Dine in 2013, I'll shoot for "someday."

Awesome! So one pound of myself weighs the same as one pound of JLO, so technically I do not weigh more than JLO! YIPPY!

To the original poster, if you take a piece of muscle and a piece of fat that are exactly the same size, and then weigh them, the muscle would weigh more. If you take 1 pound of each, the fat would be bigger. That's why someone who's 200 lbs of mostly fat would be bigger than someone who is 200 lbs of mostly muscle. Stop…

Because she's made of wood, of course!

I'm surprised b/c she was able to stay in shape for long, so she know SOMETHING about the way her body works. If not, then she's had some sort of dietician or trainer helping her and I'm wondering why she didn't continue seeking their help once she got pregnant.

This is my guess too. My mom smokes while pregnant. She made lots of other unhealthy choices too, and did not raise us to eat healthy. She and my dad did not eat a well rounded diet and they were not active. That lifestyle rubbed off on myself and my brother. I mean, that's all we saw, so why would we think there was…

Wow! That is really amazing and very inspiring. If you could do it after living almost all of your life overweight, then anyone should be able to do it. And you look so much younger! I bet your body feels younger too! This is just great! Your story should be featured in a magazine or something.

Not even one piece? ::wimper wimper:: I know I should do it, but I love the chocolate so much! Ugh! I might set a goal of only three pieces or something. I just love the chocolate!

Are you sure that he's disappointed in your, or is it just that you're disappointed in yourself and feel like he must be too? If he doesn't like the way you look, I don't think he'd want you to dress sexy. I would think that if he were disgusted that the last thing he would want would be for you to dress in sexy lingerie,…

I don't care if I get a thigh gap or not. I just don't want my thighs to burn when they rub together.

I used to put skim milk in it, but I stopped buying cow's milk since we found out that my daughter has a dairy allergy. Now I use almond milk. You can get vanilla flavored and unsweetened. I sweeten mine with truvia.

Thank you. I'm just thinking that 1/3 of just mix would make a big pancake. But now that I think about it, 1 cup makes 5-6 pancakes, so a serving would be about 2 pancakes. Great! Thank you!

My mother-in-law is diabetic, and she buys 100 calorie packs of cookies and stuff. Which, I can understand that it has the cookies already portioned out for her, so if she usually eats a lot of cookies, doing the 100 calorie packs would be "better" for her. But she seems to think that they are special cookies and that they…

B! A is just gross looking, IMO.

Guys, I'm still hurting, and it's been over a week since I did my last 30 Day Shred. :( I really thought I was doing it correctly. I made sure that my knee didn't go over my toes. I really thought I was doing it the way Jillian was telling me to do it. Not only are my knees still hurting but my hip also hurts sometimes.…

I order without mayo, but ask for mustard packets. Or you can ask them to put mustard on it instead. McDonalds used to have honey mustart that came in a squirt packet, like ketchup, and it was low cal, and that's what I used when I worked there and ordered often. Now I think they only have the honey mustard in the dipping…

I really can't think of a dessert or junk food that I don't like. Isn't that sad? LOL! That's why I'm so fat. I like it all! The only thing that has popped into my head is beer. I don't like beer and supposedly it makes people fat, so I'm thankful I don't like beer.

Although, if you're wearing just a thong, you would probably burn more calories running from the cops. Hmmmm, maybe he's onto something after all.
