It's the meal plan forJillian's Ripped in 30 Days DVD. The same recipes are also available at http://www.jillianmichaels.com/rippedin30mealplan.aspx?promo=021754D4-788F-4C01-A42D-74C56A831274. From the website, you can either print it, download and save it, or view it in an adobe file format.

I am 5'7" and my goal is 150 lbs./20 more lbs. to go. But it really depends on your body's proportions and what looks and feels right for you. As long as ur in the range for a healthy weight at your height, then it's all good!

Bump for sure! I saw the recipe on www.skinnytaste.com but haven't tried it yet. Guess what I'll be making for dessert this weekend!

I struggle with my sweet tooth as well, but it's difficult...as we all know sugar is addictive. Due to that fact, I find that the less sugar I eat...the less I crave it; which is my first line of defense. We all need to re-train our brains/tastebuds on what "sweet" really is like the natually occurring sweetness in fruit…

-Boneless, skinless chicken breast -Low fat yogurt -Apples -Sweet potatoes -Strawberries -Black beans, although technically in the cabinet

Here are a few of my favs: Option 1: 3 apples 3 oranges (peeled but leave the white part under the peel on - it's called the pith as is full of nutrients) 1/2 bunch of fresh organic spinach Option 2: Option 1 PLUS 3 carrots Option 3: 3 apples 3 carrots 1/3 cup of fresh ginger Enjoy!!!

Whole Foods also has a line of gluten-free frozen baked goods (e.g. bread, buns, muffins, cookies). They are pretty tasty especially the chocolate chip cookies. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Absolute fist bump! Some of the recipes look familiar. Is this from Jillian's Ripped in 30 days DVD/meal plan?

I agree with an earlier post; u must be vigilant about keeping ur food journal daily. It just helps you become aware of what and how much u r eating and it really helps you stay accountable for eating within your daily calorie budget. In terms of dreading gym...I think it's best to find an exercise/sport/activity that you…

You definitely need to eat more calories particularly on the days you workout. Also, think about getting more protein or fiber in your diet if you find that you feel hungry on a normal basis.

Congratulations, Ryan! That's a great accomplishment in 30 days. How did you do it?

Check out Rocco Dispirito's new book, "Now Eat This." There's a mac n cheese recipe in it that less than 400 calories per serving. Good luck!
