Oh boy, I have a friend who told me right to my face that I'm going to fail because I've made too many quick changes. She also has been trying to get me to eat all of the unhealthy foods that she enjoys. I guess some people THINK they aren't strong enough to make a lifestyle change to benefit their health so they have to…

After so many failed attempts at dieting over the years, my mom doesn't believe I'm going to stick with this. She constantly asks my fiance'(who is also eating healthy) if we want to come over for burgers, go out to eat mexican, etc. She also never forgets to tell me "yeah you're looking good, but make sure to keep it up…

I have a friend who says this. She even went as far as arguing with our English professor about it. It drives me crazy!!!

Oh man that sounds sooo good. On my last cheat day I had two beef puffy tacos, chili con carne enchiladas, borracho beans, spanish rice and about 30 chips with salsa. SOOO worth it lol.

Breakfast tacos, Menudo, Barbacoa, chips and salsa...ughh...I'm addicted to mexican food.

^THIS =]

Just hit 20 pounds!!

Chilaquiles con chorizo with side of 2 flour tortillas. SO HIGH IN CALORIES IN FAT! Just thinking about it makes my tummy turn.

I understand where you are coming from. I have a friend who is the same way. I was overjoyed when I reached a loss of 15 pounds, and all she could say was "Hmm, well good job but you still have a long way to go." Like I didn't realize that! I've realized that what matters the most is how we feel about ourselves. No one…

My fiance's mom recently became a distributor of Advocare (http://www.advocare.com/) and got us both started on the 24 Day Challenge. Basically the first ten days are meant to cleanse your system and reboot the way you think about food and eating. It consists of fiber drinks, probiotics and vitamins. Also, we attended a…

I thought I was the only one who did the whole raw veggie soy sauce lol! My favorite is radishes. Love the spicy!

When I'm in a rush with school and clinicals I'll make myself a boca patty. Much lower in fat and calories and really quick easy and yummy! My favorite is the spicy chik'n. I also like to carry around cut up fruit and veggies in a baggie to graze on when I get the munchies.

Alright awesome! I think we are going to sign up for a beginners course this Monday =]

My doctor actually recommended me to eat a diet of only 900-1200 calories, however these 1000 calories are very low in fat and high in nutrition. I'm losing weight like crazy. I don't know if it's a myth or based on scientific data, but I guess everybody loses weight differently with different nutrition and fitness needs.

Thanks everyone! It means a lot to have your support!

thankyou!

I'm 5'5'' and I wear a size 16 (195lbs). I carry most of my weight in my stomach and butt =[ I'm really hoping to get down to a 11-12 before the end of summer this yr.

That's awesome!!! I'm also going to continue the MNS 3 after the 24 day phase is over! Love how much energy it gives me =]

That's great to hear! I also cut out sugar before the cleanse phase! You'll feel amazing!

That is most likely one of the biggest problems. We wouldn't really go out to eat that much, but we would drink almost every weekend. This weekend we are supposed to go out for St. Pattys day and I know she really wants me to have a drink or two, and I understand if I don't she will most likely be upset about it. Like one…

Thanks everyone. I'm glad other people can understand how I feel. It just really hurts when I try to go above an beyond to reach out to her. I really miss my friend so much but I understand that I can't let it inhibit my journey.

Exactly! Support is the only thing we need from the people we care about!

Thanks guys! I appreciate all of the replies! It's very encouraging to hear I'm on the right track =]

I'm also interested in this! I have been drinking green smoothies as well. One I found interesting was on ABC news.http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/story?id=8052138&page=1#.TwdThNSXS8A I have also been interested in obtaining a food dehydrator, as many raw recipes call for them.

Thank you, for the support and birthday wishes! This website is pretty cool. I really like the no guess calorie in calorie out counter.
