thanks! :) also forgot to add, but would adding an hour of extra cardio on top of this workout help increase the weight loss?

The Dukan Diet made me feel extremely sick to my stomach, so I had to stop. I did lose some weight in the beginning rather quickly, but it wasn't really worth it to me.

anyone? i would really appreciate some tips :)

thanks for all of the responses guys! :smile: this may be a dumb question, but how can you tell if you have a smaller or larger body frame? I remember reading somewhere you can like measure your wrists or something like that, although that doesn't really make sense to me. is it something you just kind of know?

this is my fear!! Im afraid ill get to 135 then have to basically eat like celery and carrots for the rest of my life to stay that way ha ugh

im sorry, my internet isnt perfect :grumble:

thank you all so much for the support!

thank you guys!! :] i know the pics are hard to tell but i tend to avoid tight clothes!

thanks so much everyone! yeah, im bummed, that soup KILLED me sodium wise. wow. you guys were right, way too much sodium today. any good tips on how to cut some of that sodium out i.e. from the soup? I love soup way too much to give it up! now im going to be worrying about sodium constantly. does everything have sodium in…

thanks guys! ha i guess its just because I usually don't eat back any exercise calories, but today i did.

I am 5'7 and weight 145 - by no means overweight but 135 is what I felt best/healthiest at in my life, so I would love to get back to that! Everyone's responses have definitely been enlightening, and I feel as though I know what I need to do, just scared to do it! It's hard because I go to dinner with my mom almost every…

yeah i have had a bad week, not an excuse, will get back to logging asap. but I had never thought of it that way. I know I had a major deficit going into the weekend, but it said I gained FOUR pounds when I weighed myself Monday :( Don't see how that's possible.

anyone?

bump!

Thank you all for these responses! So helpful.

bump bump. and thanks for the suggestions! I wish I liked avocado, but unfortunately I HATE it so much. The texture and color get to me, bleh.

yep! :) i ate the chobani nonfat greek yogurt blueberry with some granola mixed in. I have class every morning at 8 a.m. and I like to try and get all the sleep I can, so I would rather not have to wake up extra early to make breakfast!

makes sense now, i usually strive for the lowest calories for each meal but obviously that doesn't make sense now that i think about it. does anyone have any recommendations for good & healthy brands of pasta? thanks.

Ah I knew it was too good to be true. I just don't know how to incorporate more meals into my day i already eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.

Hi everyone! I'm Kelly, 21 years old. Was very in shape all of my life, until college started, when I slowly but steadily gained 30 pounds up until now, gaining 15 alone last spring quarter which was AWFUL. I lost that 15 this summer, but plateaued when school started back up, and need to get rid of that stubborn last 15.…

hey all! feel free to add me as well, junior in college (luckily one with an amazing gym :)) I'm planning on signing up for the workout classes they have at the gym, $50 for the whole quarter, thinking it's definitely worth it!

ok thanks everyone! So just more cardio. I do elliptical for 30 mins every workout, I may add stationary bike or treadmill for 30 mins as well.

I would definitely like to join!
