I just bought an oil spread from the store and all I can taste is salt,bleck! I prefer unsalted butter but that is my preference but I used to use Smart Balance all the time until I crossed to the other side!

*kitten*!

It's hard to do when nearly everything contains sugar! My plain yogurt alone had like 12 grams of sugar and in fruit,ugh! :o/ I've just been mindful of everything I stick in my mouth.If I am over in sugars I look to see what exactly put me over. It's a learning process to say the least.

She is beautiful and her commitment to training hard is inspiring! I would have no problem having her body vs my flabby one!

I haven't lost any scale weight but have definitely noticed a slim down in my hips and upper thighs but I have 30 lbs to lose and you look pretty fit already! I think you will notice if your thighs are relatively slim, that they will bulk up a bit more with muscle.

This! :)

The 10 minute solutions one give a pretty workout and I liked some of the cheesy Crunch workouts like The Boot Camp ones were good. I like doing them when I have "off" days where I am sick of my regular workouts. :-) It's nice having them as an option!

Also, why not play around with calories for a while? If you arent losing then what do you have to lose? Eat at bmr for a while just to see if you notice a change. It might be hard to eat that many calories at first but believe me it will get used to it!

I swear I am your twin! I have gained weight since joining mfp and I track everything that passes these lips good or bad,yes I eat fast food on occasion . I have gotten my thyroid checked twice because I just cannot wrap my head around what is happening to me and my body! I can tell you what I am trying now is always…

Sometimes,patience is one of the best things to remember. I literally have lost nothing at all since I started in November and have searched through forum after forum page after pages of advice. Try to focus on the word lifestyle change and work towards fitness and being fitter instead of being skinny for vain reason. It…

I love jicama with chili and lime,so freakin yummy!

Amazing! I can't wait until I can say I ran a full 60 minutes,who cares what your pace was. :)

That's what I am doing and some days and netting close to 2000 calories a day. I am mostly eating at my future goals maintenance calories. But it's only been a couple of days for me so I couldn't whether it has helped with weight loss just yet. :)

Wow your tummy and backside look amazing! :)

Unfortunately, I have been forced to look at the cardiovascular and endurance benefits instead of the weight loss because I have not lost a single pound since I started this journey. It would be easy to say **** it and go eat a dozen donuts but I am doing this for me to feel better physically and the mental part of it…

I am 100% for legalizing it and just taxing it but my friends that grow in California and make their living off of it would be seriously hurt by that if it passed. So I am kind of torn about it but I think medicinal marijuana is valid. My brother in law has a degenerative spinal condition that required him to take morphine…

I concur :)

We all need that from time to time :)

Are you actually running barefoot outside on sidewalks or say, along a beach or grassy areas? I'm curious because it sounds kind of painful!

I find it amusing that you're complaining about others complaining....we're such spoiled Americans,please. *eye roll*

I am sorry but have you not heard of the US being in a recession or do you live under a rock?

I guess I should have read through all the posts before I went all gung ho,lol, I ate every single calorie last night and I too ended up feeling stuffed! ;)

$4.05 a gallon in San Diego. Time for me to start walking!

I could seriously squeeze you right now! You did all the hard work for me :) Thanks my friend!

I love that idea!

I am 29, 5'4 and weigh 163 and consider myself extremely sedentary. I workout from a half hour to an hour a day 6x's a week but the other part of the day is spent mostly sitting with cooking meals and housework thrown in there for an hour or so a day. So, I went to this website :…

In regards to fit2fat they endorse never going under your bmr and to eat more to lose. I love their podcasts! When I calculated my maintenance calories I went to several different websites to see if I could get an accurate estimate of my Maintenance calories. Some of the sites I checked were :fit2fatradio.com ,…

You should attach a towel to his belly that way he can clean it up as he walks! :laugh: Dang dogs ;)

I can smell my dog from here. Somebody needs to bath her,any takers?

ok,well if she said to eat veggies then it's not a no carb diet but just extremely low carb ! ;) silly doctors.
