I am, although I've pretty much given up. I am 35. Hubby and I have been trying for nearly 5 years. Doctors have no concrete answers as to why. I don't ovulate and so far, medicines haven't helped. I know it's because of this extra weight. If I can finally get just some of it off, I feel like I could finally get pregnant.…

I am in the same boat with you guys....lots to lose. Ugh! Would love to keep up with all of you and offer support!
-
Hey! I am also returning. I lost like 25 pounds a while back and fell off the wagon. I am hoping to make it real this time too!
-
I tried it a while back....like a year ago and couldn't do it. I'd love to try it again and actually succeed, but I think I need to lose more weight first just by walking. Good luck though! Let me know how it goes!
-
Hi! I am starting again too. Best of luck with everything!
-
LOL....That was awesome!

You have to make your diary public for others to see! I'm sure many will offer advice if you open it up!

I just tried this last night. It was delish! It's a variation of a WW recipe which calls for pork, but it is yummy on chicken! Chicken (or pork chops) with Chipotle-Peach Glaze 2 tsp. chili powder 2 tsp. brown sugar 3/4 tsp. cumin 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt Rub this mixture on both sides of chicken breast. You can…

If you're confused about what to buy, I'd checkout a healthy eating plan from a cookbook, magazine, or website. Then, plan your weekly menu around the recipes in the book. You could even use your familiar South Beach menus. I love the Eating for Life, Mater Your Metabolism, and Biggest Loser (30 Day Jump Start, Family…

COngrats on your success! And I agree! I love Bill Phillips' work. His cookbook (Eating for Life) is one of my faves!
-
That's great! I would kill to be a 12! I am excited that I can zip up my 18's! Here is my advice: Drink a ton of water--the amount you weigh in ounces Do Pilates-I love the Mari Winsor DVDs Avoid salt/sodium like the plague Stay away from bloating foods the few days before the event-beans, broccoli, etc Buy a good pair of…

I workout three times a week with a trainer. She never has me do the same workout twice. It's usually about an hour and is circuit training. She has me do a lot of moves that involve multiple body parts/muscle groups. I also do two-three additional workouts of 45 minutes on the ellyptical. I've been doing this for almost a…

I prefer the ellyptical. It's more fun and much more gentle on the joints. You can increase the level of resistance too. Maybe you can go to a gym and get a free trial and try out the machines to see which one you like best?

One of my favorite memories is eating banana sandwiches with my dad late at night one time when I was a kid. He had his with mayo and I had mine with PB. Then we combined all three just to see what it was like. It was strangely delicious. And of course you have to have it on cheap white bread. And I agree-Duke's Mayo is…

What a cute idea! Foods if I am eating healthy for the rest of my life: 1. grilled chicken thighs 2. Wild caught salmon 3. Greek yogurt-peach 4. Panters Natural harvest trail mix 5. Alomond butter 6. organic fuji apples 7. Asparagus If I am eating for pure pleasure: 1. Spaghetti and meatballs 2. French Fries 3. Cheesecake…

Yes, Yes, and Yes! I love eating this way. And I do not consider it a "fad" diet at all. It is a healthy, natural way of eating. One of my close friends lost crazy amounts of weight doing this. She's been eating Paleo for almost a year now-11 months I think. She is also a runner and her times have really improved since…

Thanks for all of the advice. I made myself tough it out Sunday and today. I didn't go to the doctor as my job just interfered. It still hurts but only when I flex. If it continues, I will just rescjedule the appt. Thanks Plumsgrl for the tips...I never would have thought of that! I will definitely bring that up!
-
Turbo Jam! Love it! Winsor Pilates-when I did this, I really saw results! Tae Bo-when I was in college--great workout!
-
It's not impossible. I am 32 and 130 pounds overweight. I can do it with modifications. I improved a lot in just 1 week. I couldn't do the jumping jacks at all the first time, and now I can get through almost every single one. The hardest part is getting up and down off the floor fast enough! Give it a try and don't feel…

Pull-ups (even assisted). My trainer had me do these today, and I was like, You are so evil. I have way too much body weight to be pulling up. And I hate lunges simply because I have no balance and I feel like a clumsy fool!
-
That looks soo good! Can't wait to try it!

The info in this article is an exact summary of what Jillian Michaels says in her Master Your Metabolism book. She goes into A LOT of detail with science behind all of this. It is an eye-opening, informative read if you're interested in learning more!
-
Ooooh, I looked at the Larabar website. They only list a few, whole ingredients. Are there really that few ingredients in them??!! I picked Kashi over other bars because they had fewer calories and more protein and fiber. But I think better, healthier ingredients would outweigh those factors.

Trailmix-make sure no one near you is allergic to nuts! Watch your potions on this. It is way too easy to over indulge! Popcorn Jello or pudding cups (the ones that don't need a fridge) Cheesesticks Pretzels 100 calorie snack packs Fresh fruit I don't eat processed foods, so I would stick with the trail mix, fruit, and…

You can get it at Publix too. It's usually grass-fed and in their Greenwise section.
-
That's awesome! Keep it up! I'm sure you look amazing!
-
Yes, yes, yes! But you have to find the right one. I worked out with two others (a long time ago) before I found the one right for me. The first two made me feel like crap and frustrated me so much that I stopped exercising all together. A few weeks ago I realized I could not do this on my own, and found a woman trainer…

Canadian bacon is more like ham. It's what McDonald's uses on thier egg mcmuffin sandwiches. It is better for you than bacon. Whichever type you try, get one that is free of nitrates and all that other crap (as with all meat). They taste so much better and are way better for you. Publix carries one call Applegate Farms and…

I adore Christopher Moore! His Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff Christ's Childhood Friend is one of my all-time favorites! I just finished the 5th Sookie Stackhouse novel. I am about to start The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo.

That is hilarious!
