Still loving the morning green shake. Well, it could use some more fruit. But overall it makes me super energetic! Had a great workout yesterday, went back to JMBR and remembered how much I love it, then finished off with some pilates and yoga with my daughter. Trying to turn her into a full hippy by the time she is 16.…

Thanks for sharing!

Sigh...I love Daenerys, can't wait to see her kick some butt with her dragons. I haven't read the books, so don't tell me if she gets beheaded or something, I don't wanna know!

OMG p90X yoga is not typical!!!!! You are right to give it another chance, though. Here are some recs: Bob Harper Yoga for the Warrior. A little tougher but he's Bob and lovable to follow Collen Saidman Yoga for Weight Loss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuCbh55r7iQ - it's outdoors, she is gorgeous, and it is gentle and…

Yes We Can!!! Up a few pounds today, I took a weekend "off" from counting and weighing. It's still amazing to me, how after all this time losing weight and eating cautiously, if I just let go and try "intuitive eating" you know just eating until I am full and what feels good and healthy, I will still overeat. Like…

Gina I have the same problem on cycle 2! It's just hard to stick to for some reason, but it's good for giving your body a break from C1. I definitely have no advice since my C2 was a crash a burn! But I am back on C1 today because its really the only cycle I lose on.

Thanks Gina! It has made all the difference having you here with me!!!! Thanks for what you do for your country, if I haven't said it, I'm glad there are brave folks like you on this earth! CYCLE 1 (part II)...CYCLE 2 My rules for myself are as follows: 30-60 minutes exercise per day C2/C1 menu, under 125g net carbs, over…

Lol! I think you just started a fitness revolution - pepper spray class! It will be hotter than Zumba!!!! That totally counts!

I am amazed, I just looked up the fast oxidizer macros and it all totally coincides with what macros I find work with me for weightloss. e.g. http://drlwilson.com/Articles/fast%20diet.htm maybe there is something to that.....

^^^I love this idea, can I steal it? ^^^^^ I am thinking about starting again next month. I will probably add in some 20 minute yoga after each session, that is one area - flexiblity - where Jillian falls short. Also I might sub in some other cardio DVDs (insanity, Pink method) and add some more bas. But I love the idea of…

Just wanted to say I relate to your question, I am not a person who just practices moderation when I am not tracking calories, so I will always track. I agree with the others, add back 100 cals a week, maybe, slowly, let your metabolism come back up.

Just popped in to say Way to Go on making it there!

Since I am not "actively" trying to lose weight in this cycle, I have been doing some thinking around my own maintenance. I have been looking at my own "all-or-nothing" tendencies, and perfectionism, and seeing that I still have some challenges around moderation. I am reading a good book called "Love food, live well",…

Wowza! Nice!!!!!!

Oh yah if I do it again I think I will skip the first month, or just shorten it to two weeks. That first month is great to ease you in if its been awhile, and it's not intimidating. But if you have been regular you will find the intensity jumps a lot in month two. And month 3 well.....lol! One thing I have done is in month…

Did "Yogalosophy" DVD last night and I loved it! My scale is being very kind to me, I am eating in the 1350-600 ish range right now, and not losing but not gaining, my body feels good at this weight except for a teeny tiny muffin toppy thing, like another inch my waist would make me happy (get to 30 inches). I get Lasik…

Oh totally! I am going to do the same, I love the accountability and I feel like this is a nice safe space (to obsess over my scale lol) Let's just keep going!

Feeling good, albeit a bit puffy, today. Had a great day yesterday, felt like I ate a good amount and had a great workout. Gonna keep going! Getting my consult appointment for LASIK eye surgery today. I freaking hate P90X. I know it's a solid program in terms of results but I am bored to tears, and Tony is so cheesy. Hope…

Oh you are doing great!!!!

Friend me!

Forgive. Deep Breaths and lemon water. Take a quiet moment to yourself and ask what was the precurser - was it temptation? a tough day? What emotions were broiling? We all do it, don't feel bad. But your binge is trying to tell you something, see if you can find the deeper message and learn from it. ((hug!))

Hi Guys there is a group on here if you're interested. Only listen to comments on the 17DD from people who have actually read the book. Some people...... :flowerforyou: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/10461-17-day-diet-to-start-off-2013-healthy Just tell them you are doing a clean-eating plan, that doesn't focus on…

Excellent reminder, so glad everything is good with you!

Wow!!! All that and a triathalon too! What you did with one year is amazing!

OK, things got a little messed up there for awhile --Let's have a little recap: Cycle 1 went well. I lost 5 lbs and got to an all time low. Feelings of success, hope, possibility. In Cycle 2, rather than following the diet, I got myself a little case of hubris, thought I was so close to goal, I'll just keep going with…

You are doing fantastic! Slow and steady will get you there!!!!

Ok guys I've made a decision to finish this cycle off using the cycle 2 menu and upping my net cals by 150 calories. My body is solidly telling me I am pushing it. It's painful to "slow down" when I am only 5 lbs away! But the logic of the diet is that you are not meant to be that strict forever, and I can see why. I'd…

Omigosh I'm really struggling! Work stress, cravings, and I am wearing glasses that gave me a headache all day, kids are sick and I am fighting off their cold. Cheated with a protein bar and some chocolate chips. I am going to try and get a workout in but I really just want to crawl under the covers. This sucks. Wah.

I would say yes, but you need to really make sure that you get enough calories. It's really easy to undereat if you are not careful, and then you might have milk supply problems. I would also ease off on the green tea, because I am not sure about that. Other than that it's just a higher protein lower carb plan! Here's what…

Yup and that's a Good thing!!!
