I think I'm going to try this one out in the morning! :)

Well, Cardio helps torch calories which burn fat. Strength training helps build muscle which allows you to burn more at rest. So personally, I'd be inclined to say that a bit of both is a good way to go

I do it off and on. I've been slacking recently due to too much homework and such. (I'm a university student.) Feel free to add though!

oh my goodness. I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying!

Chocolate. Or as I tend to call it, "chocohol".

I have a dress similar to it and I love it. Put on a pair of spanx and a good strapless bra and I'm good to go out with the girls.

I mean that there aren't any rolls. it's just a flat jiggly tummy.

I can definitely be an emotional eater at times. I've gotten a bit better with it in the past two years, but sometimes, nothing can stop my unruly emotions from seeking out their fave comfort food: Chocolate. I find that doing a task to distract myself can help. Like tidying up, going for a walk, chatting with a friend.…

I'm 5'4 and 155. feel free to add.

I have a lot of excess skin and I find it rather bothersome and ugly. I've been told by a doctor that in my case it probably won't tighten up on its own.

240lbs :angry: in 2010 currently 155ish. aiming to drop another 15-20 to put me at 135-140

I definitely am not able to get kangaroo or ostrich. But I can definitely see about getting a lot of those others things. Thanks for the help. :)

That's great news! :D I'd be a little disappointed if I was hearing otherwise.

I believe so! As far as I know, yes. I can't wait for it to get here. (even better that I got a great deal on it)

I was bullied all through school, the worst of it being the 7th and 8th grade when a teacher joined in on it. She made many backhanded comments my way and it got to the point where going to school made me absolutely ill. I ended up skipping 50 days of school in the 8th grade because I was trying to avoid hearing anymore…

Thanks for the links! I'm checking them out now.

Nope. I am waiting for my HRM to get here. I've been using what the mfp calculator tells me and lowering the calorie burn a little to be on the safe side

what is a good range for carbs?

I'm not sure if I am gaining muscle. I am sure that I have gained some, but weight changes like the ones I've been seeing wouldn't be muscle. Some of it is surely water weight, but I just can't get my body fat percentage to go down and stay down.

hmmm. I've never considered eliminating wheat. That being said, is oatmeal wheat? (stupid question, I know)

My sodium seems to be on average between 1400-1600mg daily. My carbs are usually a little lower than today but generally between 150-200 daily.

I ordered a Pyle one from amazon. Still waiting for it to arrive but it was on for 20$ when I bought it.

skillet brownie, chocolate cake, cheesecake, cheeseburgers, chips, chocolate, waffles. if it has chocolate. I'd be game.

I've never actually tried shakeology personally but I've done the turbofire workouts from beachbody. I just can't justify the price tag for shakeology when I can get the protein boost I want from something just as good but lots cheaper. Just my opinion.

22 here! :)

I have to keep my nails painted or I will bite them. It's like nail polish is a biting-buffer.

Sometimes all you need is a little encouragement. Feel free to add me. :)
