Unfortunately loose skin happens. There isn’t really any product you can take to tighten it up. You can build muscle, which will kind of fill in the space. But if it’s significant you would be best to save your dollars and get cosmetic surgery. But be warned plastic surgeons will want to see that you’ve maintained your…

This is your bodies natural response to cardio heavy workouts. It wants to replace the calories it lost. There are a few solutions I have found that work. If I do cardio I do it in the morning & eat a high protein breakfast (400-500 cals).Make sure your daily calorie intake is reasonable and a range. My range is 1500-1700.…

I struggle with Binge eating. There are a few things I don't bring into my house. Ice cream is one of them. Because I would eat it all. And we don't have Halo where I am. But it's not off limits. I will indulge once in a while but on the really goood stuff. If I am gonna have ice cream, it's gonna be bleeping good stuff.…

We often make bibimbap for supper. Quite simple to make actually and top it off with Cabbage Kimchi. I will also make Kimchi ramen with a poached egg when I am sick. Korean food is very healthy and uses a lot of fermented gut healthy seasonings and sides. I really like "Korean Food Made Simple" with Judy Joo. It is very…

i have the birthday cake one. Nothing to rave about. tastes like a protein bar. keep a stash at my desk and have it when i get hangry.

Hey Dawn im one month in. Been going 4 days a week. I recently spoke with a friend who is a dietician and PT because i didnt notice any significant weight loss. She said that its great for getting people in the gym but often isnt enough to do alone for major weight loss. It will be great because you will be making muscle…

I agree, I would just add that it's important to seek professional help when trying to deal with an addiction. Rehab also has access to medical health professionals. So if you can better consult with them. Remember you don't have to wait to go to rehab. You can pop into a meeting anytime. Get healthy, just tackle one thing…

Breakfast burritos sub sweet potatoe/quinoa for rice and no cheese, make a bunch and freeze. Salads, just prep a bunch of stuff and throw together the night before. Boiled eggs, portioned nuts, vegg an hummus,cottage cheese (add lemon and dill) for snacks. Egg cups, protein pancakes, shakes are a quick and perfect breaky…

Thanks!

I just posted about this! I noticed that a lot of the resources I researched about portion sizes were about comparing them to a deck of cards etc. I just want a page that says meat = 4oz. I want to get this right this time around. So frustrated. I feel like calorie counting is half the battle.

It's just that I've started weighing out a few items, starches. And I'm finding an insane difference than when I used to really on these eyeballed portion sizes. Like almost doubled in some cases. This has contributed to me not losing as much lately because I'm still struggling with what are true portion sizes of food. 10…

Hello! Up here in the woodlands.

I love this thread and hope it continues. It's a great reality check of the emotional, physical and life changes that happen with weight loss. Congrats to all of you and thanks for your honesty.

Just started cross fit this week. I surprised myself with rocking the press. My goal is to be able to do a proper push-up without modifying and supplementing my 3 day a week Xfit workouts with running and swimming.

feeling bad missed 2 days.. i was so sore i could barley move! But after reading the thread yesterday and today I am hearing my inner jillian telling me to quit whinning and keep going, Any ideas on how to make this up these lost days? should i double up on the shred for a few days?

just completed D2L1! I am so sore.. ouch

hi i was wondering if i could join the group? i started today D1L1! I loved hearing jillian's words of encouragement and pushed myself harder then i normally would have... thx Jazznit

I'm coming in from Cold Lake AB!!!

Hey Sweettart, I feel your pain! I have had a similar journey. I was up to 180 lbs in 2007 when I finished college. I lost 40 lbs and felt amazing. However I have since gained the weight back and am struggling with follow through. I compare my weight loss story to when I sucessfully quit smoking over 5 years ago.Before I…

i will be doing the lean program!

PJudt: Thank you so much for your insight and knowledge. You are correct on a few points.. I am definitely not well versed in the yoga-bending area! I will have my notebook/pencil ready & I am already preparing my grocery list too. I think my next step will be to try some of the videos and see how I do!~ Thanks again for…

Hey all.. i know i know no pic! One is coming soon i swear. Yesterday i bought my resistance bands and weights for P90X. As I live in Northern Alberta Canada, I am having a hard time finding the Yoga bricks. Can anyone tell how essential they are before I start the January1st challenge. Better yet can anyone give be some…
