Could also be dehydrated.

I was diagnosed with IBS back in Elementary school. My doctor told me to eat 2 stalks of celery per day PLAIN. Nothing on it, and drink your 8 glasses of water a day. He said this will help strengthen the bowel.

Hi Please add me as well! I'm trying to get back on track and lose this weight before August!

Ontario here! Feel free to add :)

The lentil soup is 1.5 cups and yes, I measured those out and I also created that recipe. The chicken I also weighed. So yes I weigh some things but not everything. I will try to weigh things more. I have taken a photo and have measured myself, and still no results. I will keep on pushing.

I'm honestly afraid to take another progress pic. I am stuck in my journey not losing weight at all. I have 2 months until my trip and I want to drop 10lbs-15lbs. I'm afraid if I take a pic and compare it before my trip I won't see a difference :( I see all of you with your successes and it gives me hope. You all are an…

Bump !

I'm turning 30 in 5 weeks.........need to lose 5-10lbs and can't even seem to lose 1lb! Feel free to add to help with motivation and eating and workouts!

I feel yah. Right now I'm so unmotivated and I may be slightly depressed. I'd rather go home and lay on the couch, which then leads to me going to bed at 7pm and sleeping until 7am. Not good. Unmotivated to clean, do laundry, go to the gym, get groceries....it's just not a good place for me to be and I recognize…

I am also going to start this... I'm hoping to start it on the 29th or possibly the first week of January (ya ya I know I know). I have a trip coming up at the end of March and I'd like to see an improvement by then. I just hope it works... / I can dedicate myself to it.

Logging everything doesn't do much for accountability for me personally. Weekends come around and I easily forget / don't want to post the rubbish I've eaten. What has worked for me (in the past, since I've jumped back on the lazy train), is making a calendar, and highlighting off the days that I worked out / ate really…

@not_satisfied I feel it in my knees and quads mostly. I have in the past tried looking up at the ceiling and that helps a bit. Body weight squats I find even worse @JenAndSome for leaning forward. I guess I could hold a broom or something until I get my form down. I've also tried squatting TOWARDS a wall as dumb as that…

My leg day consists of *Squats 3 sets of 10-12 *Deadlifts 3 sets of 10-12 *Kickbacks on the machine 3 sets of 10-12 Some days I do lunges with weights and I will use the assisted pull up bar machine, but instead I press my foot down where your knees would usually go.

I'm 5'7 and currently weigh 148lbs... gained 8lbs in 6 months. Goal weight would be 135 but seems so unattainable.

Oh the good ol' morning gym routine. I can do it, if I really set my mind to it... but bed is so much more relaxing LOL. But what I was doing was packing EVERYTHING I'd need for the day, lunch, clothes, makeup, etc. and sleeping in half of my workout stuff, so that when I got up, I would throw on what i needed to (pants,…

To Sarahliquid, Your replies anger me.

Ok... Im in! I am sending some friend requests. If anyone wants to add me, please feel free! LETS DO THIS!!!

Do you need weights to do the 30 day challenge??? How much jumping around is there? Only because I live in a house apartment, and that would suck for the person below me at 6am HAHAH.

Thanks Plexgut - the issue is I dont understand all of the "numbers"... I wish I did, but I don't. Not sure what TDEE even means :(

Thanks Lizzy622. I'm going to try that website out and see what it has. I just adjusted to 1lb per week and it is still 1200 cals :( Ay yi yi.

Oh boy... "I need encouragement" is clearly what a lot of people missed. I say keep on truckin'!!! You won't notice a difference within two weeks... but let me tell you... if you keep on eating clean/healthier, and then you go for the biggest juiciest burger... you will notice the difference!!! I am not eating "clean" but…

I like to listen to a lot of rap or hip hop or SOCA when I work out. SOCA because it makes me think of the beach and my future vacation (next year... so far but oh so ready to be in shape this time around on vacation). Here's some of my favs right now: *Up, Down do this all day- T-Pain featuring B.o.B --- I squat to this…

Thanks! I actually just got this ab circuit that I'm going to try 3-4 times a week (hopefully :) )

Thank you everyone for your support :)

I 100% agree with you. I crave fast food. And when I go a week without it... it's like I'm having a withdrawal LOL. I will check out that video! Thank you, and good luck to you as well .

Everyone keeps saying "eat at a deficit" however, I'm at 1200 calories already. Is this not the bare minimum a female should be eating a day?

Yes, it's been quite a few months now and she has adopted eating healthier thanks to the recipes in the book.

*read... wow. LOL.

I just ready your "how you did it" post and then took a look at the before and after pics! WAY. TO. GO. GIRL!!! I am just starting to see a tiny tiny tiny difference in my efforts to drop 10-15lbs. I hope I am as successful as you are :) Feel free to add as a friend. Any Motivation / help I can get is appreciated :)

I'm in the same boat. I can work out as much as possible, eat healthy and not lose anything in my stomach area... Frustrating! But if anyone has tips, that will be helpful!! :)
