Wow, what a transformation! Is the green bathing suit before and yellow after P90X or is that before and after just overall after your new lifestyle?

Ooh, let's do it together!!!!! :) That would be awesome.

Great pics. You are so strong! Thank you for sharing. :) I'm excited to start.

No one? :sad:

I need to figure mine out too. Off to do a search! :)

Oh, I know. Brazil nuts are my absolute favorite! I'm sure it's b/c they are so calorie dense, lol.

I would guess that if that were true, then people would be most successful losing weight by exercising once every 7 days. Wish it were true.

Thank you! I think I'm going to make a stock of them this weekend. :)

Hi all. I posted on the original thread an intro, but I'll do it again here. I'm 5'5" and weigh 142. My goal is 128, but would like to be 125. I was 128 when I got married and now after 2 kids with working and a husband who likes good food, it is difficult to drop those last 14 pounds. Honestly, I think it is hard b/c I…

Oh wow. I've never heard of anything like this. Sounds great! I will definitely try it. I have all the ingredients already.

I had that same thought tonight - I was thinking about breakfast burrito. Egg, cheese, turkey sausage, and peppers, wrapped in a low fat tortilla. I wonder if they'd freeze well?

YUM!! Thank you so much! I'm going to make them soon!

I've always been confused about this as well. I weigh 142 and am in size 8. A couple size 6 and a couple size 10. I'm 5'5 inches. It amazes me how some people weigh more than me but wear a smaller size and the opposite - weigh less than me but wear a bigger size, lol.

You are hilarious. :laugh:

I'm going for it today. I have only been fasting about 2 times a month, not much. My birthday is tomorrow so my company took me to lunch today, chinese...mmmm...but so bad. Blech. And my inlaws are taking my family to dinner tomorrow. So that leaves a good 24 hours in between, from after lunch, to a early afternoon snack…

Thanks everyone. Yes, I'll be much better off after Christmas. I'm getting antsy. Actually, my birthday is tomorrow and my husband just called about 5 minutes after I posted this question and asked what I want for my birthday. I told him the HRM, so who knows, maybe I'll get it tomorrow??? lol. Doubt it.…

:) Thanks! Lucky I'm a numbers girl b/c I follow that. Makes sense.

One thing I always tell myself in similar situations is, "Somebody HAS to be last." Meaning, somebody has to be the biggest, just as somone has to be the skinniest. Someone has to finish last, just like someone has to finish first. If they give you dirty looks, just tell them "If it weren't for me, YOU would be in last…

Did anyone complete the 30 days today?? Wondering about people who measured how much you lost in inches? And pounds. :) I slacked off early on. :o\ Gotta get back on the bandwagon.

It is definitely post pregnancy hormones. Your hair can almost double while you are pregnant and then once you have the baby, it all falls out. Are you breastfeeding? Your hair will continue to fall out as you are breastfeeding but you will not lose any more hair than what you had before getting pregnant. My son is 11…

Excellent point in any situation. :happy:

Interesting. I think I disagree about speaking up. Perhaps it is because one of my best friends dealt with anorexia for years and I never said anything to her. I knew she was too small, but I figured it was none of my business. She ended up in rehab for her eating disorder for 2 years....a hospitalized rehab. She has asked…

I agree, I think that is a great idea, especially since I am so in love with apples. I think that is a fabulous idea to do before going to a restaurant - to eat an apple right before leaving the house. It would help me a lot!

I think the biggest red flag for you is if you are hiding anything from anyone. Only you know the "truth" of who you are and what you do behind closed doors. If you are hiding things from your real life friends (posting here does not count, as it is anonymous) then you are already over that line. I say this is in concern,…

I love love love LOVE Trader Joe's. We've got them all over Atlanta. I haven't had a single thing from there that isn't good. I get most of the items mentioned in previous posts. But I also love the root veggies that are already cut up for me. I have 2 small kids, 2 yrs and 11 mos and it is so nice to be able to give them…

That made me laugh so I hard I have tears in my eyes.

Thank you everyone. Sometimes I wish I could clone "me" just so I have a workout partner who has the exact same schedule and desires as me, lol. :) I will try to go to the gym during lunch, it's not too far away. I have done that on occasion. I have been using my lunch breaks as kid-free errand running lately and have been…

Starting a family is stressful and exciting! You definitely need to consult your doctor about exercising during pregnancy, but for the most part, your body during pregnancy can handle your activity prior to being pregnant. So, a person who was inactive and got pregnant shouldn't start a rigid exercise program. I have…

Thank you, that is great. I was wondering how the chest strap works with the watch....if you don't have the chest strap, does the watch monitor constantly by itself or do you have to do random checks (like push a button)? I want one with a chest strap, but just trying to figure out the difference b/w the two. Thanks!…

That's exactly what happened to me when I weaned my daughter 2 years ago. I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and was back to pre-preg weight with that loss as soon as I weaned her. I am 10 pounds above pre-preg weight now and am weaning my son in the next month or 2. I hope it happens the same way again.
