I never would have thought to do that. I may have to try it. Thanks.

Even though I don't exercise until the middle of the afternoon, I enter it in at the beginning of the day. That way I know what my calories should be throughout the day and I know I can eat more in the morning. I don't plan out exactly what I eat ahead of time...I just have several healthy choices available so I decide…

Yum, I'll have to try this! Thanks!

How long have you been eating within your calories. I can't really speak to starvation mode, but I will say that it took me a week or more to get used to eating right. I always felt like I was starving, hunger pangs, etc. But after a week or so, I think my stomach and my body got used to eating a "normal" amount of food…

I'm 5'8" and my goal is 140. I know everyone carries their weight differently, but 117 seems like it would be REALLY low.

I've been using it for a little over a month and I'm down 14 lbs. The pants that were getting too tight are now comfortable (and the larger ones I bought to replace them are now falling down.) And I started measuring (bust, waist, hips, etc) about two weeks after I started and I've lost at least an inch in each area. I've…

Way to go!! You look great!

The bottom one is true to size. The top one seems slightly larger in the cup size, but that my be that I'm just not used to a bra that truly covers the entire area...it really holds all the way around the sides, not just "the girls"...almost like a really tight shirt.

I'm a 42DDD - 42F and I just got these two: http://www.lanebryant.com/glamorise-reg-no-bounce-sport-cami-bra/p110741/index.pro http://www.lanebryant.com/glamorise-reg-magic-lift-sport-bra/p110778/index.pro So far I really like them, but I'll have to check out the ones you mentioned.

I really like this curried sweet potato shepherd's pie recipe: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/curried-sweet-potato-shepherds-pie-ghk0308

Well, I did it. But I must admit, I didn't push myself as much as I probably should have. I have problems with my knees sometimes and they started to hurt when I did the first set of lunges so I was a little leery. But I must have improved my form because it got better as I went on. Now that I know what to expect (and how…

As so many people have said, everyone has these bumps in the road and the fact that you are here looking for help is a good sign that you are getting yourself back on track. Rather than thinking about the "big picture," start setting yourself small goals..."I'm going to exercise every day this week" or "I'm not going to…

I haven't seen any photos of you so I don't know if this would be the case or not, but perhaps you would feel better if you did some toning? Sometimes it's not the weight, but the muscle tone. I've just been looking at some people's before/after photos when they've done the 30-day shred or something similar and even though…

I was just thinking about starting the shred, so it would be great to have some people to compare notes with. I'm in!

One tip to help with nighttime snacking...try brushing your teeth earlier. I don't know about you, but brushing my teeth is sort of a psychological trigger that I'm DONE eating for the night (plus a lot of things don't taste too good when you have that mint taste still in your mouth.)

What do you have your calorie levels set at...to lose 1 lb/week? I looked at your diary for the past few days and there were several days where you did go over your goal by a few hundred calories. Don't take that wrong, because if you are 1,000 calories down from what you were eating that is GREAT! But you are probably…

Fantastic! I started two weeks at about the same weight you started at, so you've given me hope and inspiration. Great job!!
