I keep my public because I decided to completley commit myself to my diary even if I ate something horrible. Makes me accountable and I really think before I eat something. Would I want everyone on the internet to know that I ate that and I'm claiming to be trying to loose weight. :ohwell:

I am going to take out a loan *I hate credit cards* and I'm going to throw everything in my closet away and buy a brand new hot *kitten* wardrobe =)

Thanks everyone for all the great information and advice!!! I definately have a lot to think about.

So the general consensus is that health wise fruit is a much healthier choice to obtain my daily sugars from but as from a weightloss standpoint a 100 calorie banana with 30 grams of sugar is the same as eating a 100 calorie cake with 30 grams of sugar. As far as making any radical changes in my diet I don't think thats…

Thanks guys!!! Lots of good advice! I was so discouraged because I would review my food diary at the end of the day and most things were great and then I would see my sugar intake and it was way over the limit. And I could not believe how many calories and sugars bananas have!!! I could eat them all day and before I found…

I found too that when I get super sore, I will continue to workout but maybe not workout the muscles that are sore as hard. For example, on the 30 day shred level 1, where Jillian squats and punches. If your legs are sore, don't squat as deep and double time punch! The soreness does eventually fade; however, they are sore…

Yes you will need the dvd; however, I think I seen on Amazon that you can purchase it viewable online and have it instantly for like $16 maybe. Otherwise, I bought my dvd at wal-mart for around $10.

I have 2 and 5lb weights. I'm going to start with 2 and then after I get used to the workout I'm going to increase to 5. Never done the workouts before, bought the dvd today and done level 1. Its an intense workout on level1!! Mostly because I hate jumping jacks! :laugh:

Hi, I have switched to the healthier pastas myself and I can also taste a difference. I haven't yet tried it but I read somewhere that if the family doesn't like the taste of the whole wheat pasta to mix half-and-half normal pasta and whole wheat. Also, at my local wal-mart they have a great value brand of whole wheat…

I seen it at my dollar store too. It was still $20 at my store though. Trying to see if its worth $20. Thats not a lot of money but then again it is if I can't use the dvds ya know? :ohwell:

Thanks everyone! Great advice! Sounds like my body will show me when I get there. I'm hoping with a slow regular weight loss that my skin will have time to tighten as I loose. By everyones posts some ppl tighten back up and others don't. Guess its just like where ppl gain weight, some in the legs, others in the butt and…

Amazing! Such an inspiration! I have almost that much to loose and I'm hoping I look as a great as you do!

Thanks for the help! I know that when the body kicks into starvation that every calorie is absorbed and the body stores fat so starvation is not the way to go and Ive preached that to a friend my entire life. She starved herself all through highschool maintaining her thin figure and now approaching 6 years later shes as…

I'm 5'5 and I'm a stay at home mom to a two year old so I'm lightly active. I do my chores and try to make time for at least 30 mins of cardio a day plus I chase after my little girl on and off throughout the day. I did as you said and changed my activity level to sedentary and it changed my calorie limit to around 1600.…

Hi, I'm new to myfitnesspal and was hoping to get some support and advice. I have lost a lot of weight since the birth of my daughter 2 years ago. However, I quit smoking and gained around 15 lbs. I'm really trying like I was before I quit smoking and nothing seems to work. When I signed up for myfitnesspal it suggested…
