I'm starting it today, doing my first workout as soon as I post this. Will be watching what I eat as well. I would love friends who are doing it as well!

BEANS! & fake chicken nuggets (I'm addicted). Also a lot of cereals have protein now, combine that with some soy milk and you're set! I'm a member of the group Happy Herbivores on here, you should join it. There's always someone asking about protein on there, plus good recipes and general veggie chat.

It's hard for us shorties! I have been trying to lose the same 7 pounds for gosh, about 6 months now. I've noticed that if I slack on the exercise AT ALL I don't lose. So make sure you're getting some activity in every day, even if you don't feel like it. Also, how strict are you with your logging? There have been days…

The only time I've taken them was during lady time because I felt huge. They're a temporary solution and you won't lose real weight. Just make sure you're drinking enough water and watch your sodium and you won't need to take them.

I sent you a request! I'm 23, about to graduate from college, and I work full-time. Just trying to stay in shape and lose the rest of the freshmen 15 I gained a couple years ago haha.

You definitely have to be committed. I made it through the first week about a month ago and gave up because I just wasn't ready for such a hardcore workout 6 days a week. I'm now on day 3 (again) and don't plan on giving up this time because I have the right state of mind. I completed Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred before…

23 year old college senior graduating next year with my Bachelor's in Business Management! I was never an athlete however. I work 40+ hours a week and go to school full-time and just try to stay in shape as well as I can. :) Trying to balance everything is crazy stressful but gotta make time for my health.

OH MY GOSH. Oh my gosh. You look fabulous.

You look great! I love this thread. :)

Yeah, I second Greenrun. Insanity is a LOT of cardio, it isn't going to make your thighs big. If you're in decent shape, give it another shot. You do need to make sure you're eating enough but of course, like you said, if you're overeating it won't matter what workout you do.

It's a 60 day program, and you get one day off a week. :) I just started yesterday but hopefully I'll have a progress picture to share in a couple weeks!

I'm a vegetarian and please don't let your one bad experience deter you from trying other things. ;) Some morningstar products are atrocious and some are amazing. One thing you should never do with fake meat is compare it to the real thing. I know that it's supposed to be a replacement but if you go into it expecting true…

Indian food Ben & Jerry's cinnamon roll ice cream Domino's cheese pizza with mushrooms & black olives Mountain Dew icees (I don't remember the last time I drank calories) Vegetarian chili cheese dogs CHIPS ON CHIPS ON CHIPS I'm an addict. And any possible dip for those chips. Hummus, bean dip, ranch, french onion, I don't…

I am a vegetarian that tries to avoid dairy and eggs but I do occasionally eat them as ingredients in other foods. I'm also a member of the group Happy Herbivores which is a great place for plant-based people! :) Sending you a friend request.

Like others have said, obvious disordered eating. I hate to be one of those people but I had to put a disclaimer thing in my info about not friending actively disordered people. I'm trying very hard to recover from my bad habits and it's hard to do when I see statuses about 'binging' on a cookie or complaining because they…

I used the basics of this just now and it's so good - thanks for posting! I used 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1/2 cup pumpkin 3 packets sweetener crushed ice and a dash of cinnamon 70 cals :)

I buy the zero calorie coffee syrups instead of creamer. Yeah, they're full of chemicals and I shouldn't but I very rarely drink coffee anyways so on the rare occasion that I do, I don't mind using fake stuff in return for no additional calories. I like the classic hazelnut flavor by torani best. :)

Actually one girl on my friends list does log stairs.. :/

All of this. I used to drink soy milk but switched because I eat lots of soy already and didn't want to consume too much. So I'm agreeing with everyone who said unsweetened almond milk is the way to go! I don't think it has any sugar whatsoever and maybe a gram of carbs per cup.

Yeah, I think logging things like cleaning and walking dogs or whatever just sets you up for failure. MFP overestimates calories burned anyway so if you log every little physical activity you do, plus eat those 'exercise calories' back, you're not going to lose, and you may even gain. I personally only log what I set out…

Some of their songs are guilty pleasures for workout music just cause they're so dang catchy but I hate what 'musicians' in general these days are doing to music. It's all electronic, over-edited, and recycled. Catchy, yes, but good? Idk about that. Maybe I'm just missing the good stuff somewhere, who knows.

The Shining 1408 The Others I'm not a fan of slasher type horror, it's not scary to me. I love suspense and paranormal so if anyone has any of those types to suggest! And not scary but the movies I'll be watching this month include Edward Scissorhands Beetle Juice (watching right now, actually) Hocus Pocus Nightmare Before…

HAKUNA MATATA It means no worries for the rest of your days, it's our problem free philosophy! The only motto you need. :D

I like you.

I don't buy into it but I still put hot sauce on everything because it has like no calories and I love spicy! Ketchup on my fries? NOPE hot sauce. :D

I don't know but the name of this topic made me laugh. Dude, it's Chipotle, next to impossible to pass up. Workout if you feel like it but don't kill yourself over it.

Look at you! Sexy lady!

I would LOVE to have a personal trainer but I guess I should have mentioned that I'm a full-time student plus I work 40+ hours a week. I don't have the money for a gym membership and I have at most 2 hours a day to work out, on a good day. Thanks though! I will probably keep alternating cardio days and strength days like…

bump, I am having this same problem and don't have time to read all the responses right now!

Oh my gosh, you look wonderful! Congrats lady, you've earned it. :)
