Y'all are 100% awesome! I will definitely look into the body glide and lanacane! I can't do Ibuprofen (interacts with a med I am on) but I can definitely do some ice! Thank you so much!

So I read what you wrote and decided to research, it's $49.99 for an annual premium membership, which is optional! Someone who has one at my gym told me that it was $50 a year, they obviously pay for this premium membership. I'm glad you don't find this useless, it is on my list of future purchases,along with a HRM. Will…

I just want to say thank you for this post. I had to confront my demons and be done with them. I whined to another member on this board about quitting. I'm still gaining weight (after a loss but then solid weeks of upward trending on hack diet), still feel bloated and am just pissed in general. I told this person I would…

So then do I not even worry? Just concentrate on keeping protein up and forget the carbs? Seriously, why does all this stuff have to require brain hurt :laugh:

Yes, I have them set 40/30/30 but I can't seem to meet both of them at same time.

I am in same boat as wonderkitten! I'm 3 weeks in now, so hoping it gets better soon!

I've been contemplating one, but I hear you have to pay a $50 fee per year? I looked into Body Fit but their's is about $70 per year! Then as one of the previous posters said, what if you learn all your daily activity, doesn't it become essentially useless? I want one, but can't afford it with annual fees, etc.

Thanks! I even read it 3 times looking for a link or something to click :)

I do not see ingredients? Thanks!

No expert, but I do less than you and I put myself as moderate :)

Gah! I could write this exact thing! Still chugging along here, noticeable changes in clothes fitting, but the "pounds" lost really gets me. It's so hard to face :(

I love Gemi's idea of cooking up chicken at home. It's relatively easy, and you could even use a crockpot! I just boil mine with a quick sprinkle of lawrys seasoned salt (I mean 10 huge breasts and maybe 1/2 tsp Lawry's). There are so many ways to prepare chicken. My favorite lately is my boiled chicken with some canola…

Don't get discouraged! I went up 2 inches in waist and almost 2 in hips, and 3 in bust. Now a week later my bust is back down 3 and my hips/waist are down 2.5. Just keep with it. I think you started right around same time I did ? (4/9)

Uh the day carbs go below 100 for me, will be the day I am 6 foot under. I can't help but not eat carbs. I eat fruit, and other things that have carbs in them. I don't eat pasta and such anymore, but I drink the occasional soda also. BTW my carbs are at 247 currently. I'm still in need of about 300 calories, so I'm sure…

great job! How long have you been doing this? What is your goal weight? Can you share your exercise routine?

See, now this I can understand, because this is exactly what I want!

I have seen her pictures before and am in awe! She looks 100% fabulous! However, she started off at 130 and changed her composition and maintained that weight. I would be okay with that, if I was 140-150. However, at 205.7 pounds right now, I'm not okay with that. I'm not sure if I'm saying it the right way to make sense?…

I want to reply to this with another question. I'm not ready for weights really IMO, unless someone tells me I am. I still have 60ish pounds until my goal weight. So for now, isn't it in my best interest to lose some more weight and get maybe 20-25 pounds within my goal before trying to change body composition? Honestly?…

You need to eat at least your BMR, but really you need to eat your cut. What about a nice protein shake? It's okay to go over a macro afaik. I go over protein almost daily now that I drink the protein shakes and pay more mind to my food. Now, I wouldn't go eat a pint of ice cream, but maybe some peanut butter and…

Instead of thinking of it as a diet, think of it as a lifestyle change. You don't have to give up sweets, candy, chips, soda, etc unless you are confident that you will no longer want them the rest of your life. For me, it's near impossible. I may be in the minority, but if I want something sweet, I eat a hershey's kiss.…

This was me last week! I took a nap today too because I was sick yesterday but ran anyhow, so I wanted a little break. I can say that I got sick last Thursday & Friday felt better until Tuesday and now I'm fine again. So far Sat, Sun, Mon were my best energy days! I have some good energy today too, but I knew I just needed…

WTG :) Doesn't it feel so much better? I find myself so much happier now LOL

I tried to eat yesterday during the day but I was still sick. I felt much better in the afternoon/evening hence the huge dinner. Although I admit it took me about 2 hours to eat everything...I ate some here and there. I just worried about leaving close to 2000 calories on the table from both days combined. My "normal" days…

I use before always. Also, if you don't want to put raw meat on the scale, use a piece of plastic, a tupperware container, etc. I weigh most of my food on a melamine plate used solely for weighing raw meat.

I am overweight, I have 65 pounds to go until I meet my goal.I'm going to keep my 2300 cals and see how that works. Thanks so much ladies :)

Great job! Jillian is CRAZY! I'm dealing with the same thing on my FB, I just keep saying bless their hearts and banging my head on my desk...

Unfortunately there is not a trainer at my gym :( The owner said he can show me what to do, but he is not a trainer. There is no other gym. I'm going to watch some youtube, and read a lot and have this guy show me once. I've decided to go with stronglift, as the NROLFW kind of scare me with some of the other moves... Now,…

Thank you Kiki for your response! I'll definitely give up the extra cardio. Would it harm to do a light walk with the dogs? My daughter really enjoys it, and I want to instill healthy values for her. It's a dirt/gravel road that's pretty hilly, and we walk about 2 miles. We can cut the distance and maybe lower speed. I'm…

Doesn't it almost make you feel like a baby? Eating all the time? At least I feel that way, hah!

I had not planned on running a half marathon until fall 2013. So if training has to be on back burner, that is fine with me. I really want to do the 5k in November, but could care less if I stop running after that. I'd rather not, but I have the rest of my life to run a marathon, I want to enjoy the rest of my life fit…
