Lost 0.4 pounds which I am not disappointed with because it's finals week and I am a stress eater. Plus, it's been the first two days I haven't exercised in 70 days. I love this method but sometimes I eat more because i know i am not going to see red. I have to work on that. Just thankful I am off the plateau.

Apparently on her podcast Jillian said that it isn't meant to be done everyday. I do it every other day because I am really not interested in being hurt. Obviously it's your decision but I don't have anything to prove except to myself.

carmel mini rice cakes, 8 for 60 calories! salsa on everything! usually around 5 calories for a tablespoon! special k crackers - 24 for 130 calories laughing cow spread cheese in the spicy mexican flavor - 35 calories a wedge Clementine cuties! - 35 calories a cutie

nuts are really calorie dense, I am impressed by your burn! What are you doing?

I will have my iphone but wasn't planning on taking my computer. Thanks for that exercise routine, I think I will type it up into my phone so i will have it with me. Maybe watching youtube videos on my phone? Thanks for your help, you're right, not all is lost.

Awesome job! you look incredible

It's just another way to set up your goals, I was already eating close to my BMR but now i just don't worry about exercise calories as much unless I burn a ton of calories.

I am using it. I was stalled out for almost a month and now the scale is moving again. You are eating the calories of your BMR and if you exercise, that's what makes a larger deficit. So really, my BMR is already 400 calories less than my maintenance level and then you make a bigger deficit with exercise. Been doing this…

nonfat cottage cheese, 80 cals for 1/2 a cup and it's full of protein

Such a good feeling, congrads!

I'm 5'6'' and my goal was to lose 30 pounds. Can't remember every being 135 so I may stop before then if I start looking too thin because I have a bigger frame. You can totally do this!

Add me! I am slimming down for my wedding dress too! 9 months is totally doable because I've lost 15 in 3!

This is a great NSV! I have a similar one because i had to size up my ring right after i got it and i was annoyed but now I am going to have to size down with the weight loss!

I just started two medications that are suppose to cause weight gain (one is a antidepressant) and I haven't at all and have continue to lose. My doctor says a lot of medication increase your appetite and sometimes that is what they are referring to. If you need the Zoloft then take it and watch what you eat, it will be…

I'm sorry people ever treated you like that. It's sick. So proud of you for taking your life back, make sure you do it for yourself only!

I've hit a plateau right now but trying to come out of it, if what I am doing now doesn't work then I am certainly going to come back to this

I feel your pain, My fiance is tiny and can eat whatever he wants but doesn't like a lot of vegetables. I end up making low calorie things in the crockpot with the hopes that he will like it and then he always eats 2-3 times the portion size i do. It's hard not to eat the things they make but I just make room for it. I'm…

I'm not really sure yet either, yesterday's deficit of 749 had me feeling sort of hungry when I went to sleep but I figure it's not a bad thing as long as i am not starving when I go to sleep. I'm trying to get myself losing after a long plateau so hopefully this works. The scale is kind of swinging all over the place.…

I have been loving non-fat cottage cheese with some salsa mixed in. 1/2 a cup is around 85 calories all together. I also love grapefruit with some stevia on top. SO GOOD

Hey friends, I'm doing 30 DS every other day because of a comment I read on MFP saying that Jillian said not to do it everyday. Plus, I wouldn't be able to walk haha. So I did the third day today. Figure it will take me longer but then I can function. I've seen an increase in the scale, not sure if that is related but…

Apparently Jillian said on a podcast that the DVD isn't meant to be done everyday. Currently I am doing in every other day and that lets my body adjust and fix itself.

awesome, thanks for sharing!

I only lost 0.6 but considering the scale hadn't moved in weeks, I am okay with that. Hopefully next week will be better! I like this method but I do find that I end up eating more because I don't worry about seeing red? hopefully I get over that.

If you have stores like Ross, TJ Maxx or Marshals they will have amazing tea assortments in their home sections that are pretty cheap. As far as types, I love earl gray or english breakfast but really like anything.

Biked to and from work for a total of 24 minutes and then a 45 minute walk with my dog.

thanks for sharing!

This is really interesting. I'm going to give it a try, i'm not a runner so I will just have to up all the other exercise. I need to break this plateau pronto!

Well done! You look awesome. I've noticed a difference with my 12 lbs so 17 makes sense!

At the clinic I worked at there was a 27 year old with your same issues. Physical therapy isn't going to be able to help that much, in fact, this girl's surgeon told her to skip PT all together. The doctor I work with told her to leg lifts while lying down instead of the usual crunch to help. Good luck.

chicken for chicken tacos! So easy Chicken breast plus salsa plus pineapple into the crock pot for 4 hours, then shred it. So amazing.
