I'm on my last week of it. I have not gone straight through, but I'm incorporating it with other things as well. My goal was to be done with it by now and on to Insanity, but I'm not ready and I don't want to give up on Insanity again! So I might start 30DS again as soon as I finish and try to push straight through while…

This is making me feel better! As I did the math, I realized $70/week for 2 people is just $5 a day each which is NOT too much for all 3 meals, especially considering you can't even buy a "value" meal or a drink for that much! I'm just going to keep spending the money and eating in and eating right. $5 a day is worth it.

I don't think losing 4 lbs a week is healthy. Try to up your calories a little so it's just 1-2 lbs per week. Make sure you're getting calorie dense foods. Especially after a major surgery, you need to fuel your body so it can recover! Just my thoughts.

People have always told me I don't need to exercise or "diet." I don't do it for other people, I do it for myself. And as soon as I stop, then I WILL need to exercise and diet! It's much easier to keep a nice figure than to have to work to get one back. If you're at a healthy weight than by all means, keep eating! And eat…

Oh and btw, I'm insanely jealous. I was supposed to do a trip like that when I graduated college. I WILL go someday though, and now you can help me figure out where to go! (sorry I don't have any real advice. You've already been everywhere I've been!)

There's this girl named Carly in Raleigh, NC. She's pretty cool and not at all touristy!

A lot of guys are just...skinny! I know some guys that no matter what they do, they cannot gain weight and look downright scrawny. Try not to worry about it! Women are supposed to have curves! :smile:

Just a guess, but maybe you were going a lot faster than you're used to. On a treadmill you can see your speed; outside you obviously can't. Make sure you are not pushing TOO much with the speed, just keep it steady and try to keep going.

This too. I've tried online dating, coworker dating, best friend dating, random guy I met at a bar dating, etc, but NOTHING works, and I realize it won't "work" until I have found who it is supposed to work with. Then the rest won't matter.

Make sure you have enough (but not TOO much) information in your own profile. I usually ignored people where I couldn't figure out anything about them by reading their profile. Be genuine. In your profile, in your messages, in all communication. One thing I HATE is when I think people are only telling me what I want to…

I am slowly working up to this, and to hopefully looking like you all do! My workout routine is starting off slowly, but hopefully I'll be picking it up soon! I'm starting Insanity in a couple months so it's time to get my butt in gear. I can definitely use the inspiration and some pointers from you all!

Same here! I did my detox a little over a month ago and have been pretty good...well, better at least...since then. But the other day I had McDonald's breakfast and felt awful for a solid 24 hours. And I only ate half of it!

Exactly!

I wouldn't recommend using my diary as of lately, but I did have someone tell me to check out Clean Eating magazine or the website for the magazine. Hope this helps!

Ooh also don't have a grill. Stovetop or oven. But not sure of what temps or times to cook it at. (I need to learn to cook...)

Luckily for me I had viral and not bacterial, which is not nearly as bad. Well, not as serious at least.

Mine goes Monday-Sunday instead of Sunday-Saturday. I don't know if there's a way to change it, sorry :ohwell:

I have used salsa which is yummy, or an organic balsamic vinaigrette. I would also suggest mixing up the flavors of the chicken you put on it. While the lemon garlic one sounds delicious, if you have that all the time it will get boring. Try different seasonings, etc, or even different meat! The best salad I've ever made…

Awesome!!!! Way to go!

I went 2 weeks with no caffeine. The first few days were AWFUL, the next few were tolerable, by the end of the 2 weeks I felt like I had more energy early in the day but I still got sleepy faster later in the day. When 2 weeks were up I got myself a latte and I realized I love caffeine WAY too much to not have it! I can go…

Vodka!!! Although I love my beer too, and light beers don't always cut it...

*kitten* :( funny, lovely. 4th one I found was beautiful

I have fallen in love with Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein drinks. The mocha cappuccino one is my favorite--you get your coffee, protein, and chocolate fixes all at once! A little high in sugar, but delicious

Very nice!

I would like to try insanity again also, maybe I can join you? I definitely need to build up my cardio a bit (well, a lot!) first but I don't have any other videos other than my free Netflix ones!

I do this too--I call "waist" the narrowest part and "belly" from my belly button. I'm confused on the w/ or w/o butt...how do you measure without it? Just above it? My "hips" are from the widest part of my butt
