I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe on those two other days you could go on some nice long walks instead of going to the gym? I go to the gym 5 days a week but I walk every night with my mom who is also trying to lose weight. As of now that's all she does so I have to motivate her to go. Your body and muscles do need at least a…

I used to love all sweets but ... I recently had a bad experience at the AMAZING Johnny Rockets ( was so upset) at Six Flags and I'm pretty sure I will never eat a milkshake again. (Before anyone gets a really bad idea, I didn't get sick or anything and my friend loved her milkshake but they tasted like cheesecake and I…

I eat mine but I'm told to only have 1200 a day so... it's definitely necessary. If you are at 1600 eating back half is probably a good idea. If you decide not to continue after these few days I would atleast eat enough so that you are at 1200 every day. I'm interested to see how this goes though.

I'm in! I plan on doing 60 minutes on cardio equipment at the gym so this will keep me motivated to do my strength training when I get home! Nicole

Good morning everyone!! Hope everyone had a good Friday! toadiejones-- I know how you feel! I've been feeling so tired the past couple of days. That's one of the reasons I took a break day yesterday. I was so tired of absolutely forcing myself to get up. And I laid in bed all day! Which is totally not me. I don't know…

Perhaps a piece of peanut butter toast on whole wheat bread? A handful of nuts? If you absolutely can't force anything down a glass of fruit juice or milk.

Generally, if your body is in that much pain it probably needs recoop time. Go for a walk, or hop on an elliptical if you have access to one-- something low intesnsity. It will get your heart rate up and not kill your muscles. You don't want to tear something. Eventually, it won't hurt as badly and you will be able to do…

I make a salad with a cucumber base that is delicious. My whole family was so against salads but they are always begging me to make it. Cucumbers Cherry Tomatoes Green peppers onions feta cheese kalamata olives olive oil and lemon juice dressing (to taste) As for eating out... it can be tough. I recommend looking up…

I'm in that boat too! Love junk. Fast food is awful for me! I love it way too much! Good luck and feel free to add me if you wish! Just remember it's a day by day process! I track daily goals which is huge for me and less overwhelming. Nicole

College... aka... booze, drunk eating at all the horrible restaurants open till 2 am or later and not good choices in the cafeteria.

I actually haven't lost anything and I'm starting to notice a difference. I don't know what your starting weight was but I am only looking to loose about 20 pounds... so I"m building muscle. I'm noticing more definition, especially in my arms. I've been at it for about three weeks though. (I know my ticker says I lost 3…

I've been hovering around the same weight for about 3 weeks. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down. But I do notice a change in my body ... my arms are more toned and my legs seem to be, too. And I feel stronger so I know I'm gaining muscle. Maybe that's it! Just keep at it, drink your water and don't give up. The…

Well today is a break day. My muscles are sore and tired and I'm exhausted. So I won't be exercising or logging. Now it's not necessarily a cheat day... I'm still going to try to eat well and all... but I need a break. I'm also super frustrated because my scale is not budging AT ALL. It shouldn't matter because I see the…

Goals for today: 1. Eat well and stay under calorie goal. 2. Running workout (not doing C25K because it's a pain in the butt on the treadmill), and some weightlifting 3. Reading 4. Bank to figure out a banking account issue. 5. Finish touch ups in the kitchen Have a good day everyone!

Check Check Check- not the best but still losing so I'm ok. Better than a couple Check Fail Goals for today: 1. Log all calories and stay within my calorie goal. 2. Gym for a less aggressive workout (Check) 3. Get some reading done 4. Laundry (Just need to fold the last load) Sl1mmy-- we all hit those rough patches when we…

I've gotta try this. Alfredo is my weakness!

Epic fail yesteday on all accounts. Goals for today: 1. Finish my paper (Just handed it in!) 2. Gym (Start Couch to 5k) 3. Log all calories and stay reasonably close to my goal 4. No snacking late at night. 5. Get some reading done so I'm not as far behind in my English class. Have a great day everyone! Nicole

toadiejones-- thanks for the encouragement! I'm worried that I won't end up with time to start it today but I'm certainly going to try! Not a good morning. I need to shift around some goals. I epically failed but I'm going to start fresh now... at 2: 1. Only healthy foods for the rest of the day! 2. Finish this stupid…

Check Fail. I don't even remember what all I ate today. I was doing well until after lunch. Didn't have the picnic so didn't have to worry :) About to start.... ugh. Mommawarrior: That's awful! I have never known anyone who had their identity stolen but I'm sure it's one major headache to get everything back on track. Good…

Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits are delicious and low in cals. Whenever I find myself at McDonalds... I get one of those instead of fries.

I had my days where I felt like this, too. I logged all my calories and was like what in the world? Here's what I realized... 1. I was trying to make too many changes way too fast. I would get hungry, have cravings and pig out. Once I learned it was one step at a time I did soooo much better. 2. There's always tomorrow.…

I'm 5'7" and around 155. I'm in a 12 US size.

My snacks really depend on the day and what I'm doing but I typically have 2-3 snacks. Usually I try to make them fit into what I've eaten already. So for example if I"m low in calories I'll have a high calorie snack or if I'm low in calories I"ll have some yogurt. Sometimes, I'm not hungry so I don't eat. If you are…

Wow! You look absolutely incredible! Awesome job! That certainly gave me some motivation!

lf you're walking for 30-45 minutes a day that's the start you need! If you continue it'll strengthen your legs so there's less pressure on your knees and muscles (I had to do this as well) since I have bad both. The elliptical at the gym was great for me but as jennw said... do what makes you comfortable! Just don't let…

For lunch I do mini pizzas on 100 calorie flatbread sandwich pitas with a tablespoon of spaghetti sauce and some feta cheese. Delicious. I actually bought mini pepperonis to try with my next batch. For a salad I do a cucumber based salad with green peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese and a…

Do you have your calorie goal set as a highly active lifestyle? If so ... that should include your job and then you only have to eat the calories given to you. Does that make sense? Otherwise, I would just try to eat more calorie rich foods like nuts and beans... among other things. There are whole lists of them in places.…

I've struggled with acne my whole life. Everything I try tends to work for a few months then I need to move on but here are some basics... Salycillic Acid-- is the key. Use something high in that at least at night after the day is done. I typically use something lighter in the morning because I have such sensitive skin and…

Hello everyone! Wow... I had no clue this thread would continue on so long! Thank you to everyone who has kept it going and it's so great to see all the new faces! Leela... you're awesome and I'm so glad you still check in here everyday! Also Nam... I saw it in the statuses... awesome job on your 10k!!! I just got a new…

Hi everyone!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!! My summer has not gone according to plan so far but I have joined the gym and lost a couple pounds! Sorry I haven't been around. Thanks Leela for shooting me a message! I'll try to be back more frequently once I get life sorted out. Good luck on your goals everyone! Nicole
