I use spiru-tein in the chocolate flavor. It's pretty low cal (90-100 calories) and has tonsss of nutrients with plenty of protein in it. I think it tastes pretty good especially after the gym or first thing in the morning.

I know what you mean, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. In the last month I have seen the number 145 once then it fluctuated back up to 148. It has been everything in between the two for the last month - 6 weeks and its becoming quite upsetting. I guess I'll just have to keep going and hope for the best.

Amen.

I go to the gym for cardio and weights and then swim a couple times a week. When it is warmer outside I like to run. I tried 30 Day Shred a couple times and I could never stick to it. I found it so incredibly boring and like I was forcing myself to do it everyday.

Just got a few at my gym recently. I absolutely love them and they have become my favorite machine. It is similar to the elliptical but the motion is a bit different and actually less impact and more gliding...kind of like a running motion. I am not sure about the squats question though. I just choose the option called…

Done.

I'm sorry guys, I just had a REALLY long day at work last night and was just ranting when I got home to the computer. I truly am really good about what I eat and make sure it fits within my calorie limit. Saying that my job was sabotaging me was not the correct wording. I simply was saying that it makes losing and keeping…

I've been working at this place for about two years now. My lack of willpower is what made me get to the weight that I am now. I have been so good in staying within my calorie limit and eating more wholesome food. Constantly reminding myself that I CANNOT have these things is honestly mentally exhausting. I am very mindful…

If I'm not hungry enough to eat an apple, I am not that hungry.

Thank you. This all makes me feel much more positive about this. The difficulty I have losing weight is hard to deal with, but I am having a really hard time with the lack of energy. To even function I literally come home from work (3pm-12am) do laundry or eat something and then sleep until 1pm. Any less sleep and I am…

Any beautiful pear shaped woman. Primarily Kim Kardashian and Beyonce! One day.....

I can't tell you how much I needed to read this. And here I thought my thighs were disgusting!! You are all so beautiful.

This is a very good point. I am 5'4" and I am very much pear shaped. Though I am a bit discouraged that my pants are not going down in size, my bras now need to be at the furthest in clasp rather than the last one. So I suppose that is at least an inch there. I realize with my body type I will never be a size 0-2 but I…

My general rule of thumb, eat if you are hungry. If you are not...I wouldn't worry about to much. Try to eat more food that is generally high in calories throughout the day but is still clean if this is a daily thing i.e. avocados, eggs, milk, nuts. I had the same problem and then I upped my intake as I saw better results.…

For me, I know that zigzagging calories works. I usually up my intake on Saturdays and Sundays. But then I follow with a longer workout with lifting and more restriction on Monday. I weigh in on Wednesday on find that I lose about 1.5 per week. I also have a similar goal to you. So far I have been more than happy about it.…

I don't drink soda do I can't give you advise there, but there also are diet teas such a Snapple and Arizona. I love diet raspberry and peach Snapple as well as Arizona half and half (preferably peach). There are some calories but not too many. Also have you ever tried flavored seltzer? I don't know what I would do without…

Green tea with coconut is amazing! You usually will see it as Thai flavored.

Me too! I think the only way to accurately log it would be with a monitor.

Awesome

I've always wanted to make something like this.

I usually weigh in on Saturdays. We can do this!! :)

My current goal is 125, but I also have the mini goal of 130 and see how satisfied I am with that. I carry most of my weight in my thighs and hips so so I'm hoping to slim down and fit into my old skinny jeans!

It's sounds like we are in the same boat. I'm 146 and 5'4". I just gained some weight back recently and need some encouragement to stay on track. I'd love to buddy up and have some steady support.
