I have been doing the moderation thing and I have like you done it the other ways as well. I have dropped almost 60lbs probably have dropped 60 - I weigh in soon... Anyway, this is sustainable for me. I believe this works and when you put the all or nothing attitude into it.. things go crazy for me and I rebel hard core. I…

If you lose weight, it is likely lean muscle mass. I just don't think that is enough to function. You may lose at first.. however you body will rebel. Another question is do you think this is sustainable for you? If not, it is only a temporary loss. I hope you find a groove that works for you. = )

The more water I drink the less hungry I am. I would take a look at the food you are eating.. processed carbs tend to burn up quicker causing hunger more frequently.

Nice job. I can definately see a difference. WTG! I am doing shred as well. I just did level 2 for the 1st time today. It was a challenge and I loved it!

Way to go!!!

I think you best bet would be to workout before work, plan and prepare as many of your meals the day before... Maybe make a weekly menu. I wish you the best of luck - it is going to be an adjustment and I am sure you can conquer it.

Congrats! Your hard work is paying off.

Way to go lady! Looking good! It will be so fun to surprise your family with a healthier you!

Google... LOL I am not sure if too much calcium is bad for you. I'd say that anything in excess is not good. I would google it and see what you come up with. = )

I am planning for meatloaf with a nice green salad and some steamed cauliflower.

Only you can really answer this question. How important to you is it? If you are happy with yourself that is all that matters. Maybe hang out where you are for a month or so and see how it works for you. You need to be happy with yourself. It is your call. I guess I would go back to your Why? Why did you want to slim down?…

I think switching every 4 weeks is a great plan.

Awesome progress! Way to go!

5'5.5 started at 245 Last weigh in I was at 188

I'd say you could.

Me too! Yeah! I am so happy to have a more managable chest. I went from a 40DD to a 36DD and I onmy way to a 34.. I love it! Although.. I should start saving for a lift.. LOL!

You could use circuit training.. I'd say the best is to get a heart rate monitor. I love mine.. You can find them reasonably priced on amazon. It is worth the investment. I have a polar F7.. it was around 100.00 I did day 1 level 2 today and I burned 321 calories.

Wow, that is really interesting. I find it amazing what people choose to be offended by. I say its HOT! I can't wait to go shooting agian!!! I may take a pic and post it as my profile.

Here is the thing.. Some high days after several consecutive low days - I believe is a good thing. I think it signals the body that it is okay to release pounds. I say, learn what you can from it.. think about what triggered you.. then plan for the next time that happens as to how you will handle it without the binge or a…

I enjoy and value this community too. Everyday you take action is a success. Everyday you don't give up is a success. Changing our lifestyles can be difficult. We are all in this together. Those little successes add up to huge accomplishments. Keep on keeping on.

I will be doing housework shortly. ..

Another trick is to keep water in your hands so you can drink.. instead of eat.

That is very cool. Very happy for you. What you posted is so very true. The truth sets us free on a very internal level - many levels actually.

Baby steps.. just get back into a groove - living a lifestyle that will produce the body and health you want. I am sure that will help. It is all about your lifestyle and not so much about what the scale says. I am sorry you are so devastated in the gain. You understand why it happened and that is a good thing.. Now you…

That is activity and I think it is worth logging. congrats on your improved fitness level - that is so cool! You must be feeling really great right now. It is even better that you realized you were discounting something that is truly an accomplishment. Very cool!

I think it is all in my mood. I am not exactly sure what triggers it but a good hair day, cute jeans with some heels, and nice top usually works.. Otherwise, wearing sexy underware and bra works too. It also helps when my toe nails are painted.. Hmmm. the more I think about this.. it seems the more time I take to put into…

It is all about what your comfortable with. Really underware and swim suits are not that different - only in functionality.

I think it is the natural ebb and flow of our bodies. A cool site is www.skinnyr.com. It is a fee site that allows you to enter your weight in everyday and then you can see what your bodies does over a months time.

Welcome to MFP! It is a great resource and I hope you love it as much as I do!
