i definitely have lost weight without completely clean eating. it's all about portion control, calorie count, and physical activity.

Exactly. The water content may help rid the body of excess fluids and salt retention though, which could effectively cut down on any bloating in the stomach. But burning fat on its own? Nope.

i've been told a day of rest is needed to help your muscles recover, and so your body doesn't get used to the constant exercise. i've also heard that targeting different muscle groups each day is fine, so it's really your call. of course, if you're sick or really worn out, take a day off. it won't hurt you in the long run.

i knew i was pear shaped, but never would have guessed i'm 15% SMALLER than i think i am! that's a nice confidence booster!

I'll officially start next week. I'm only guesstimating my current weight since my scale is still packed away somewhere. Once I find it though, I'll be able to get on track with everyone else here. In the meantime, I'm finally back to logging my food and any exercise I do!

Hey, I'm from upstate NY too! what area? I'm just outside of Albany.

I'm a slave to the state government... and half my office is gone, thus why I'm stuck here manning the phones all day by myself. Yippee.

are we twins? lol

Don't bother with it. I stuck to the plan for two months and put on a lot of weight. Those things have insane amounts of sugar in them and don't really taste good anyway. i had to pour mine into a giant cup and load it with crushed ice to even make it cold enough to drink, because putting the cans in the fridge didn't…

O_O ew.... but all the sweat and general crotch wetness would get all over your pants, wouldn't it??? i just wear my normal panties and a pantyliner to soak up any excess sweat... but going commando? no thanks!

peanut butter with slices of ripe, fresh off the tree Mutsu apples is to DIE FOR. sooooo delicious. also, pb goes good with marshmallow fluff, nutella (tastes like a melted reese's cup on bread!).

good luck with that, he's gay.

asparagus. but it has to be cooked a certain way. i have selective eating disorder and if it tastes even a bit wrong, i can't eat it or i'll gag. stupid brain and tastebuds.

i'm in. my weight ballooned horribly after my daughter was born almost 5 years ago. i'm counting my calories and eating better but it's just not enough. by the time i get home from work every night i'm burnt out.

absolutely nothing. i've just learned portion control and things have probably phased themselves out of my life after I didn't find them to be tasty anymore. i still eat what I like, but not all that I like, and it's saved my sanity while trying to lose weight, knowing that I can still have the foods I love and not have to…

chaining 2 cigs if it's REALLY good lol. which means it's pretty much always since my hubby's a beast. lol

ugh my hair is just a thick tangled MESS. i constantly keep it back in as tight of a ponytail as i can put it up in and have to slick it down with 1-2 tablespoons worth of super hold gel on top and pop in at least six strong hair clips near the base of the ponytail, otherwise i look like i just got done sticking a fork in…

LOL is that the new handshake now? damn these young hooligans and their crazy greetings.... lmao

:love: :flowerforyou: YES.

Believe it or not I'm actually on something right now that's doing its job. It's called ACE by Saba... it's a metabolism booster and appetite suppressant. I'm on it three days and off for one day at a time. I've seen a few inches come off in the past two weeks, but no real pound loss as of yet (then again, I've a VERY big…

lmao i did slim fast for a month and GAINED weight! that stuff is loaded with sugar and tastes like crap anyway!

i'm 25 (almost 26) and weigh 332lbs. I want to get down to 150 so our goals aren't that far off from eachother! Definitely need encouragement :)

i have one of those too! splits in half across my belly button. UGH i look like i'm pregnant all the time because of it. even when i was pregnant with my daughter i had the double-belly. i usually call the top one my stomach and the bottom one my gut. blech! the only time they become one is when i lay down flat!

YES OMG. I just saw this for the first time recently and bawled like a baby.

state government employee... aka desk job. what fun....not.

Never been one, never hope to be. I have WAY too much to deal with in my own life. As much as I love my family and friends, I just wouldn't be able to give them the time they would deserve from a member of their bridal party.

i have two. one is a gigantic pock mark on my shoulder (i was a picker when i had chicken pox!) and the other is on the inside of my thigh when my stupid self decided to ride my bike even though it didn't have a seat and while wearing shorts... i ran into a fence and the pipe that held the seat on jammed itself into my…
