I bought this book in 2008. I tried it a few times, but never made it all the way through. I think the furthest I got was Day 1 or 2 in cycle 2. Then I didn't try it anymore for like 2 years...although I did pull the book out a fews times when getting ready to grocery shop and, for some reason or another, decided to buy…

I know you want me by Pitbull. And my 12-year-old thinks it's HILARIOUS! lol

Oh boy, I don't even look at my sugar. It does show up on my phone app when I am logging away from my computer. And it is always two times plus more than it should be. One battle at a time for me! lol

Thanks for all the responses and great info! My diary is now public. My carbs 55%, protein 25%, and fat 20%. I think I may need to incorporate more protein, but I kept my carbs high to prevent binging! I have a sick and twisted addiction to carbs :embarassed: But still, if I lower my carbs, my problem will be worse!!!

That is how it goes the first 1 - 2 weeks, and then the 3rd week, it's like it makes up for the other weeks and just starts falling off. Hang in there! :flowerforyou: A week really isn't long enough. I know it is discouraging, but be patient. This week, I upped my cals to get 1200 net calories (didn't know I was supposed…

I have always said If I could cut my belly off, I would keep everything else and just be super voluptious :noway: Unfortunately, my belly is the most "voluptious" part from all angles :embarassed:

I absolutely agree. As I read through, I felt so bad for Julia. Not for her battle, but because it seemed like she was being judged (and a bit attacked!). She seems really nice...and honest. Alot more than most of us can say! I am sure we have all done some things to lose weight that were not very smart...weather it be…

You can do it! Just make sure you get at least 1200 calories and drink your water. I really think the fiber will help. You've got this! :happy:

Hey, that is better than gaining! Hang in there, it will come. I would bet it's all those muscles your building! Have you tried stepping up your fiber? I eat a high fiber cereal (14 grams of fiber) every morning and lots of whole grains.

Last night, I went to celebrate a softball win with my partner and her team and had 2 beers and 2 slices of pizza :frown: but I still lost, so I don't feel SO bad. My goal for this week (today - Thursday) is to exercise for 30 minutes everyday. :grumble: We will see how THAT goes! Good luck to everyone! Let's keep each…

Personally, I listen to my body. I do not eat my exercise calories unless I am hungry. If I get hungry, I know they are there to fall back on, but I don't force myself to eat them...and i usually don't need them. I do at least get the minimum calories though. And with my sweet cravings, i don't usually have a problem…

Sorry guys, went out of town Friday morning and got back late yesterday, so I didn't weigh in Friday morning. My weight Thursday morning was 236.5. I was celebrating with my family all weekend, so I am terrified to weigh in at this point :embarassed: lol, but I am going to work extra hard this week. I didn't do TOO bad…

Friday sounds good! I always use my morning weight anyway, so I will not have done any damage by then :-) I am getting alot better about that though. I am a little more relaxed on the weekend as far as logging my calories and sticking to a food plan...but I DO make wiser decisions than before on the weekends and chose…

I am looking for the same thing. I have consistently lost 2 pounds every week for the last month and I am so excited! But I have done this before. I am hoping that this time I don't lose interest. I NEED motivation, support, encouragement, and tips regularly! And I am really good at giving all that in back in return…

Maybe I'm just oblivious to the fact that SKINNY jeans are for SKINNY people, but I always wore them and never thought anything of it. :ohwell: I am a size 18/20. I like them because I can wear my tall boots over them. I always felt like I looked hot in them :laugh:

Very encouraging! Thank you. :flowerforyou:

I agree. I urged my friend to call the school about it. This was definately something they should have gotten the parents permission for anyway. And on top of it, they were SO off!

Yea, they told my friends daughter when they were doing a BMI screening at school that she was overweight. She's 13, about 5'2, and wears a size 2 in juniors/16 slim in girls!!! That's not my idea of overweight. Sounds like that might create some serious eating disorders :frown:

Interesting. And it make sense! According to this, I am large framed also. I always throught I would probably look a little sick at 125 lbs!!! (My ideal weight according to the charts)

Sorry for the late post...

Good luck Memaw! I know it's kind of hard to do, but look at it as a clean break...this is your opportunity to do something else. Maybe something more exciting or something you have been wanting to do for a while. I hope everything works out for you.
