Don't know athing about it... but I can tell from the title whatever it is likely will WORK... short term. Then you will be back to your regular routine. Best Diet ever= Eat fruits & veges, whole grains, lean meats AND EXERCISE. Dont eat= processed foods & excess sugar. Simple?

Last time I checked a pound of bricks was the same as a pound of feathers. Density is different, not weight. Putting on a pound does not happen like magic, it takes accumulation and time for your body to accept. I can go drink 14 glasses of water and weight after and be 2 lbs heavier.

I didnt't read all the posts so if this is a repeat .. sorry. Let me guess; 1. He lives with you 2. You pay everything (clothes, rent, food etc) 3. He controls you (you give in) It's really a perfect life for him. If I didnt HAVE to work and got my way... I would really be enjoying life. Teach him RESPONSIBILITY. Give him…

In my "OPINION" - Ensure your weight loss is not rushed. If you do it slowly, properly, your chances of keeping the weight off will be better. 1lb a week is healthy. After you start losing a bit, make sure you hit the gym, lift weights, be active! This should ensure that under your weight loss you will be toned, tight and…

Go somewhere between your BMR and TDEE, or, 20% less then your TDEE. You should be eating AT LEAST your BMR to allow your organs and body to function properly.

This used to happen to me. I put it down to 3 things; 1. lotion can irritate the skin when sweating 2. dry face (apply your lotion before bed rather then in the morning) 3. too much wiping sweat with towel/hands etc. ..the skin gets irritated. For myself, i started to just pat my towel lightly and apply hypo-allergenic…

That sounds delish! Thanks

I shop around the perimeter of the store, meaning I am mostly buying fresh food... however, I also buy lots of frozen vegetables for the convenience. Just recently went to the Farmers Market and paid $7 for a big bag of 10-12 mini cucumbers, 4 peppers (yellow/orange/red) and about 6 red/yellow tomatos!! Definately going…

I have it and take Wellbutrin. Last winter was killer- I have never been so exhausted, sleepy and irritable in my life!! This will be winter #2 on Wellbutrin and I hope it helps (stayed on all year). Worst part of my days are when its dark (which is from 5:30pm-8am). I am so tired as soon as the sun goes down, but push…

I usually do between level 8-10 on the eliptical. I am 5'7 and 142. My bf on the other hand, he is about 220 and burns almost double what I do. I can never catch up to his 'burn'!

I used to be always hungry too. In my opinion, 1200 cals is pretty low. If you calculate your BMR & TDEE.. eat no less then your BMR and about 15% less then your TDEE. You can find some online calculators. Your BMR is how many calories your body burns if you stay in bed and dont move. It's what your organs need to function…

That's terrible for two reasons; 1- The Dad's immaturity. How do you tell your kid it's so ugly you sued it's mother for half it's looks? 2- The kid can't help it, its 1/2 his genes anyways!

Paper Plates / utensils doesnt seem like a long term solution, especially with the cost/waste ... although, it would be nice!! I will start to cleaning the fridge on Fridays- great idea. And as for the paper products, it's as simple as putting a new roll in the dispenser... which means my staff are LAZY!! Does anyone have…

I also log in every day.. since 50 something days ago!! Willing to friend those who are looking for a healthy lifestyle change! =)

If your not ready to get pregnant, some type of birth control pill/iud would be best, but obviously your doctor will be able to recommend what he feels is best for you. I used the same brand for YEARS... then I started getting headaches... tried another kind, I was so *****y tried another insertable ring type ... my bf…

I might add Starbucks makes a wicked "Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte" - which is a very special treat, just make sure you get it "Skinny" (and I usually ask for a splenda to replace the simple syrup)

LOVE IT! It is naturally 'sweeter' then other teas. All tea's have some perks & benefits, green tea being the most known.

Mine have gotten much worse- however, I did go off the pill about a year ago. Since I started on a healthier lifestyle, I may be more 'in tune' with my body because I know about 7-10 days before my TOM is coming due to horrible cramps, back ache, headache and irritability (my bf knows too...). I usually b*tch for a day-…

Sorry to hear & best of luck!!!

I use men's antiperspirant as I find women's doesnt not smell nice on me. I also use mens body wash =) When I go to the gym, I don't apply 'fresh' AP... I just shower after. I never feel that I smell.. and no one has ever said anything (my BF/ gym mate would definately say) Shower regularly and 'dont sweat the small stuff'.

How ddi you lose all your weight? Just to think your only half the person (size wise) you were before is incredible. Also, what made you 'change your mind' and start your journey?? You look great, btw.

Jealousy is one of the hardest things to deal with in a relationship. He is probably jealous you are putting in the effort to improve yourself, and you have opted to use another male to do so. In my guy's opinion, he should be the only guy in my life (so i know where your coming from) He may also be hurt that he wasnt…

I feel the same. Everyone is all chatty, having fun etc... and I am just.. bleh. Avoid the siutation, or take it in small chunks.. and ALWAYS be thankful you will not feel how they do in the morning =P

I have the same questions.. When your eating between BMR & TDEE or TDEE - 15% (for example).. should you still log exercise and eat those calories back or its all part of the intial calories?

I would consider 'tea' as water, assuming you are drinking it without additivies (sugar, sweetner, milk etc). Tea leaves are 'natural' flavor, not processed chemicals. As for water additives like crystal light, Mi0 etc,I would still consider the water intake as water, but, also consider the added sugar/sodium/chemicals you…

I added you as a friend cause were pretty close to the same stats! Anyways, my suggestions; 1. Keep calm 2. Think about WHY your eating certain foods (ie- ice cream, sugary cereals.. is it emotional/convenience?) 3. Look for healthier alternatives (ie- high fiber, more protien etc) 4. Make your own food- you will…

Sounds like you dont have alot to loose, mostly just tone. They say muscle weighs for then fat thus your exercise is likely trimming fat and gaining muscle. Be patient. First, concentrate on FEELING better. It will come with time!

Half way through the first book- im hooked BUT.. I cant help but notice the repetition of phrases like "lips pressed tight". Surly, there are other words or phrases which could be more intriging.
