I am on Day 3, Level 1.... I just read every single post on here and now I am even more modivated to complete the 30 days. The jumping jacks kill me and I can barely do 2 push ups but hopefully I will get better... I realize that I need to get a tape measure and get my actual measurements. Seems like alot of folks have…

@Nayshel.. Yes JoAnn is! I have to agree though it is some type of emotional excuse to not try. I am insecure about my marks and loose belly, but that shouldn't be an excuse. Thank for your support!

@vitaminddd... Thank you for encouragement! I do exactly what your saying.... I was going to do a fast, now Im planning on cutting all carbs, but reading yall post and other posts on here... I realize that I dont need to do all of that. So I will try to change my eating to healthy. No Mcdonalds double cheeseburger combos…

@JoAnn73.. Thats where I feel like Im going sometimes and I dont want that to happen either. Thank you for your encouragement!

@JoAnn... If I wasnt at work, I would be crying right now.... You are so right! Thank you. Thank you soooo much!

@surromom2010... That makes me feel better. Thanks. And sending you a request... Dont take my diary too serious this week. LOL. I did have a Dr. Pepper and a Swiss Roll yesterday. I am addicted to Dr. Pepper and I was having a serious withdrawl, headache included.

@rocky.. I can say when I found this site back in 2011, it did modivate me to the fullest..... then Thanksgiving came around, then Christmas and Mardi Gras... I mean I kept indulging. We eat gumbos and everything fried, stews, and potatos, everything over rice... Its really hard because I love all of those foods. I was…

Thanks. Those all sound like good ideas.

Thanks. I know you are right..... but I am just ready to see the results. Needing to work on my patience.

[/quote] Simple: - Workout 3 times a week with weights. - Eat 1g protein / lb lean body mass. - Reduce calories to lose 1-2 lbs / week. [/quote] Does sound simple enough.... Thanks again.

[/quote] In my opinion, you shouldn't go low-carb until you do more research than just asking folks on myfitnesspal. There are advantages and disadvantages to a low-carb diet. You should know exactly what you're getting into- the whole look before you leap thing. I recommend doing your homework. I recently read this:…

Thanks. Keeping that in mind also.

Thanks. I do realize I need to exercise more.... its just finding the time to do so with working and school. My max is already at 1200. I shouldnt cut that any more though, right?

So you are saying cut back on breads, pastas, rice, etc? Thanks for your response.

Thank you. I will def. keep that in mind.

Thank you for your response. How did you lose as much as you did?

Hmmm. So like no carbs for dinner.... sounds easy. I might try this for a week or two and see if anything changes. Thanks.

Not every day. The days I do, I go over....not by much but still over. Thank you.

Thanks. See all of the bad carbs you have listed I have cut out....except I did eat a biscuit this week end. I have been drinking water and an occasional fruit juice.

Thanks. I have pretty much cut those out though.

Thanks. I will def be reading that link.

Thanks.

That's great!!!

Thanks y'all. :happy:

Well I was once robbed at gun point but never beat. Nothing made me feel better and I actually was scared of parking lots for a while. But it might have alot to do with him being a man too.... no one likes to get "beat up" especially a man...... His pride might be kind of hurt..... so lots of love and sex isn't really out…

I am not too fond of the squats either and I am just doing Start it Up. Thanks.

I have been wanting to get one too but it seemed like the good ones were all over $50. Thanks.

OMG! YES I know exactly how you feel. South Louisiana..... home of everything fried, stews, gumbos, jambalya, etouffees. Just like you said get togethers are never healthly unless we eating boiled shrimp or crawfish which has sooooo much sodium, its crazy. I am going strong for now but its hard. And suggesting brown rice…

Thanks for the advice.... I am going to have to look into that. I have a few books on weight loss but they can be quite confusing. I will look into the nutritionist thing. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks. I will check into some protein powders. Smoothie King has a new Lean one.... Its about $50 for a 2-4 week supply. I am going to compare their's to some cheaper brands.
