The same thing happened to me when I graduated from college. I think I gained about 15 pounds when I started my job. I started losing the weight before I found this site but this honestly keeps me in check. I am addicted to the site and love to log on and see how everyone is doing. It is very motivational, especially since…

I recommend DVD's and mix it up so you dont get bored. I have a library of them and when I get bored I know I have others. I also use the WII go for walks with my dogs and run my neighborhood. You can do crunches, squats and lunges while you watch tv in the evening (also stretch at night). Be creative with what you have…

I dont love bacon, I love a really good bacon and cheddar cheeseburger cooked to perfection! I tried the vegetarian thing and it did not work for me!!!! Good luck though, I wish you the best!

I am actually additcted to MFP and love to log in and be a part of such an amazing community. Wecome!

You look fabulous... My husband is starting P90X and I want to do it too. I think that I might start after Thanksgiving and work through to see how I do by Christmas. I am excited to do it! Great results, you are an inspiration!

Please do not waste your money, ask for a set of dumbells!!!

I did okay on this but cant believe that the average T-Day meal is 3,000 cals! That is insane.

Don't force yourself to eat more foods, try almonds and dried fruit for a snack with yoru yogurt. I like to put peanut butter on my apples and today I even had some Nutella as a treat on my apple. Trying these types of things will help you out. Nutella has a lot of sugar but it was a treat. Sometimes I put dried…

You look truly amazing. Congratualtions, you deserve it!!

Have you tried Jillian Michaels workout with weights. It is a kettlebell workout and is awesome! I love this workout and their are two different levels. It works you hard and you feel terrific!

Circuit training is one of the best workouts your can do for your body. I am teaching a boot camp (circuit training) class now and it really gets results. You will be sore but you will love it when you get in to it. good luck and have fun!

Hi everyone, I would like to join this group... I have been dealing with binge eating my entire life. When I was young and noone was home I would eat, and eat, and eat. I would sneak food at night and bring it up to my room, it could be anything but I would sneak it and eat it and want more. Now that I understand what I…

Im buying this bok!

I am doing a raw foods cleanse now and I really am enjoying it other then the fact that I crave a little for coffee and chocolate. I am on day 3 and highly recommend it. I was a little tired at first and get tired towards the end of the day but I just eat some almonds (raw) and I feel better. Check out my blog about the…

Welcome, I am sure you will do great!!

I would not increase my cals, I would simply make sure that I am getting some form of exercise in. Your cals increase when you do this and then you get to eat more. I think that increasing now might impact your already amazing loss....

you can get a thicker piece of wood (scrap) and put it under your scale, then it will be on a hard surface. I always weight myself on the second floor, I never heard that one!

I will do it! I only have one month so I am going to reach for 5 to 8 pounds!

I did the same workout this morning! I looked up kettlebell workout and it burns about 300 cals per 20 minutes. I use that as the ratop because that seems like alot. Even if I do 25 minutes I use 300 cals. If I do 45 or more I increase the calorie burn based on that. I need a hear rate monitor! Hope this helps

I do not know one women tryign to get in better shape that doesnt have a husband / boyfriend who mocks them or tells them they should eat a burger when we really want a salad. I love salad and it is something my hubby will never understand. Salad makes me feel refreshed and more put together, for him he feels like a…

I have both and I still use both. I like to alternate my workouts alot so I do turbo jam twice a week and I do 30 day shred once or twice. I incorporate other workouts too though. I am not only doing one workout so its hard to say. I will say that the 30 day shred really worked when I did just that, but turbo Jam also…

Panera Bread has some good salads and they are very fresh. If I do not go their then I make my own at home. romaine lettuce or spring mix, Kumato (like a tomato only tastier), cucumber and some type of cheese (1 ounce). I also use all different dressings that are low in calories and make sure I measure. Also, no croutons.…

I get up at 5:00am twice a week and 5:40ish three times a week. Saturdays I am up at 7:00am and sundays are my day to sleep in. I usually take an afternoon walk on sundays. Workin g out in the morning has mad e ahuge difference for me. Its a commitment but one that is well worth it!!! Try it 3 times a week and see how…

My mom was always heavy and I was chubby child but my mom tried really hard to keep healthy snacks out. I did not care much about my weight until I was 15 or 16, that is when I started to realize I was "fat" or so I said and decided to eat better. I have struggled with my weight my whole life so I know about that and the…

Thats sooo great. That does look like an infomercial pic. Good job, you are very inspiring!!!

Im actually already obsessed with this show!!!

Mesquite turkey and cheddar (weight watchers) 2 slices of bacon and lettuce on arnolds lite whole wheat bread and lite thousand island dressing. I am very strict with serving size to keep the sandwich down to 250 cals! oh and kettle cooked chips. I have a green apple for my afternoon snack!!! Good Lunch!!

I love pineapple as well!!! The other thing to think about is apples for snacks and any citrus fruit between or after meals. Citrus helps breakdown fats!!!

Try finding fruit that is sweet. I like dried fruit even though it has more calories and sugar it takes away the sweet tooth. Plus you are eating fruit. I have a lot of trouble too, I eat a sweet every single day. It takes alot for me not to and when i dont, I eat the entire kitchen so I am better off giving in to a mini…

I get that you are always on the go, try packing some carrot sticks and celery in a sandwich bag, this is healthy and you can eat it on the go along with the granola bar. Other ideas would be to pack some lunches for yourself the night before. So a sandwich you can grab in a hurry or something along those lines. When does…
