I calculated the calories I was drinking in during the master cleanse. It was about 800 calories. If you ate 800 calories per day, you'd achieve the exact same results I think...

You know, this was precisely what I was thinking throughout the time I did this. I didn't know what I was supposed to be cleansing from my system!

Actually the cheapest grade B maple syrup (the one recommended) is not less than $18 anywhere including amazon. The jar looks big but gets over pretty fast since you will be using quite a bit to make 2-3 liters of the cleanse solution. I know I spent more on the cleanse than I do normally when I buy fresh fruits and…

HAhahahahah you made me laugh for a good 20 seconds! I'm sorry about your allergy but that was funny...

Of all the crappy, stupid crash diets I've tried, the master cleanse is the only one I would never ever be tempted to do again.
-
I did it for 10 days and lost 9 pounds and gained it all back in the next week. Also, I was obsessing about solid food ALL THE TIME. I was even dreaming about food at night! Also, it costs me 2 weeks grocery money to keep buying the grade B maple syrup. Soooo not worth the pain. All the relentless lemon squeezing made my…

Rofl This is so funny!!

"Girl who kills it everyday" That is awesome!! 1. Last week I realised I can cross my legs while sitting! 2. My husband took a picture of me yesterday and for the 1st time in so many years, I didn't have that double-chin shadow in the pic!!

Whoaaa! 780 cals! I didn't know any drink could have those many calories and that too in a SMALL size! Wow! Just a suggestion, you should probably finish off your day with 2-3 cups steamed veggies with seasoning and a fruit! Don't worry about it though... Get back on track from tomorrow. If you have the mfp app on your…

Success stories and people's before after pics on MFP!!

I keep a box of strawberries with me at all times! Sounds crazy but it works! Every time I'm bored and feel like eating, I start with my strawberry pieces and it takes the edge off. At home, I always have sauted zucchini mixed with different seasonings and herbs in the fridge. I just keep warming bits of it and munch on…

Clothes shopping can be brutal. I remember crying inside fitting rooms all the time when my weight loss didn't seem enough... Everything under xl or 1x was too tight. So I stopped going to shop for clothes. Just stopped. I kept calorie counting and working out day after day. Every week I would just wear my older clothes…

An extra large order of fries. Then an hour later an entire medium meat lovers pizza and a whole $4 bag of Doritos with cheesy dip... Easily about 5000 calories I think. Bad breakup... I woke up the next morning and threw up for about 15 minutes.

Gyms are a place to get sweaty! I sweat buckets every time I work out... Maybe I smell too... I don't know! Honestly I had a bigger problem with the *kitten*-in-a-torn-thong being sooooo visible and in my face than the smell. Oh and I see her every other day in the same clothes! I never stand behind her any more!!
-
I so understand you! But you know what's worse?? Imagine a crowded strength training class... I came in a little late and got the only remaining spot, behind a girl with suuuuper tight yoga pants (and by super tight I mean, could see every mole on her *kitten* every time she moved and her slightly torn thong). Also she was…

I don't particularly like working out.... But I do LOVE food. So I work out to be able to eat stuff I like.

I went through the same thing. Last year I paid 4 months fees for a gym about 2 mins walking distance from my house in Boston. I went in and got super intimidated. They had a free trainer session as a promotion and I was terribly out of shape and 15 mins with the slightly sadistic trainer got me so discouraged, I never…

A Spanish song from zumba class that sounds like "ooo-wego..."
-
The exact same thing happens to me too in about 35-40 mins. I tend to overwork the right side of my body be it cardio or strength training simply because I feel like my right side has more strength and the issue was solved when I started consciously putting more pressure on my left leg so I worked both sides equally...

5'5" and my goal is 135 lbs. I've never liked the skinny look, so I think 135 is good. If I like what I see at 140, I might stop there too. As long as no body part jiggles...

Dal Makhani/Kali dal This is one of the most popular Indian lentil recipe around. I tried it out in the crockpot a few times and it never came out as well as I wanted it to. Yesterday I got the quantities of ingredients right!! It tasted amazing and I actually put wayyyyyy less butter and cream than I usually do. I make…

You are amazing! I can't believe I've been crying about my piddly little 30 pound problem! If you can do what you did, I can do it too! Thanks for the inspiration!

2 "bread pizzas" are about 220 cals!
-
Pizza is my favourite food... I do the same thing except with 45 cal/slice bread toasted, some marinara sauce, a heap of veggies and a 30 cal slice of cheddar cheese and baked in the oven. Yumm!

You can definitely eat pasta, bread, or any other carb. I'd go crazy otherwise! Having been brought up on an Indian diet, I cannot eat veggies without rotis (unleavened bread) or rice without lentils. As long as you aren't eating just bread or just pasta and getting your 20-30% of protein per day, you're doing ok! Don't…

Look at yourself completely naked in your mirror... Pinch parts of your body you want to improve on. Identify an activity you like. Then enlist a friend/spouse/whoever to give you company. Seriously, that is what I did! I was...am just like you. I hate sweating/exercising but I make myself go burn 800-1000 cals per day or…
