Being a person that has in the past done Atkins, successfully, but then went back to over indulging, I lose very slowly. I now try to pick whole foods to eat, low processed foods. Whole grain cereals, breads, etc.. Brown rice, sweet potatoes, lots of lower starch veggies, and fruit. I try to keep sugar low/none. I don't…

While dieting and being very good with eating. If I drink on the weekend, I refuse to weigh myself until Wednesday.. I will retain water and be up at least 5 lbs for a day or two. So I push water and make sure I am really good with diet so the water comes back off..

I always feel better when I up my protein. I try to use complex carbs in my diet and really limit simple carbs. Easier said then done though.. I ran yesterday, and really watched my weight, and the scales finally moved down. I know it is mainly water weight loss, and am fine with that. As Nike says "Just Do It"!!! And…

I feel like you are talking through me... I got sick in February, bad sinus infection, flu, etc.. I have had a heck of a time getting back on that darn horse. I am finally getting back to it this weekend though. I am sick of the excuses, I feel terrible. I have been able to maintain my weight loss for the most pt. I gained…

I have, I like them but will go back to Whey protein when this bag is done. I find the soy is just to harsh on my belly plus it is expensive.... But they tasted really good,

We went last spring. I LOVED it.. I totally fell off the wagon. I kind of forgot about the calories in all the fru fru drinks at the bar.. The buffets were great, a lot of healthy choices! We had several different restaurants available to us nightly. We chose a different restaurant every night. Again healthy choices were…

I have done both of them.. As others have said. P90X is geared more towards building muscle. It is a butt kicker and Although I only lost about 16 pounds (following the eating plan with P90X) I lost a lot of inches. I did Insanity last year for about a month. It is HARD!!!!!!!!!! I loved it though, and am going to do it…

I don't start noticing until about the 20 lb mark. But I feel amazing!!!! I start feeling better after about a week of eating better and working out...

Yep that is what I am don't this time around. But this time around my thinking is totally different. I am not on a diet. I am eating healthy and moving more. I try to keep most of my calories and carbs, from whole, not processed foods. But I am not ruling anything out. If I really want a cookie, I eat a cookie, but not…

LOL... I have lost almost 10 lbs, and the only place I notice a loss is in my face... Although I am sure I have lost other places (I don't measure) I guess If it starts from the top and works down, My belly will get some loss shortly...

I haven't read through everything, but for me I tend to lose better when I eat lower carb. Or better carb.. I cut down on pasta and try to use whole wheat when I do eat it. Same with breads, I chose the whole wheat, whole grain breads. I focus on getting most of my calories through veggies, fruits, and lean proteins. but I…

I use Visalus protein shakes. They are pricey, but they really work well, and taste good. I also really like Shaklee protein shakes. I have thought about going back to EAS or GNC protein. I may bounce around and see if they work as well, and taste as well..

I don't like to drink milk, but I use either coconut milk or almond milk for my protein shakes.

Most of these items have already been listed, but, Almonds, cottage cheese, yogurt, applesauce, frozen fruits. hummus, homemade tortilla chips, dill pickles (I love the baby dills), lunch meat with sliced cheese. Also, I keep cooked chicken breasts in the fridge, and if need be, I grab a half and eat it on the go... My…
