I know everyone says to, but I think it isn't as big as a deal as they say. I seriously doubt (from my own experiece) that by not eating your exercise calories that you will throw your body into starvation mode. I think that only happens when you are used to eating what a normal woman eats and then you start eating like an…

Keep trying and just remember that this isn't the end of the world...

Chili's Bar and Grill Guiltless Salmon!!! And if you really need dessert... their sweet shots---- hot chocolate fudge !!!

nope.... good ol' central California...

Much better than if she was slower! You would get discouraged or frustrated! She will keep you pushing yourself! I say go for it!!!

I have a "friend" who is really snobby and when ever we go out to eat mexican and I get a veggie burrito or some tacos, she gets the salad in the huge taco shell with the sour cream and guac and then looks down her nose at me... Thankfully, I could tell right from the beginning that she was downing 1,000 cals while I…

are you pregnant? :happy:

Well... I don't know if I have a lot of advice... but I know one thing about you that says an awful lot: 74 lbs lost??? No too many people can do what you have done... I know it wasn't easy because I'm struggling! If you can do that--then I have no doubt that you can fight for this relationship! Praying all will turn out…

that's so funny... I was just gonna write in a recipe almost exactly like that... if you want a more chunky look and not so foamy-- leave out the tomatoes and hand chop them and then mix it all together by hand at the end...

wow! That's wonderful... you look great! I would love to hear your story!

Yep--that's it. Does it work? Any personal experience out there?

No... I'm eating 1200... Just eating a huge breakfast of like 600 calories.... 400 for lunch and around 200 for dinner...

Ok--So I've heard about this reverse diet and I know some of you are on it... Is it really helping? And how much faster do you loose weight that if you eat normal (within the same amount of calories)? I'm just curious... I've been doing it for a week, and I've been working and I haven't really lost anything... I don't want…

Whohoo!!! How long did it take?

You'll love it... it has worked for so many people-- it keeps me coming back again and again... every day. Be acurate and consistent in entering your food! It's one of the big secrets to loosing weight using this site. Congrats on having a baby! I too am here for that reason...

Whohoooo!!! My unsolicited advice for a wedding is: The simpl-er it is, the more you will enjoy it (including the prep process)... Congrats!!!

It's discouraging though because there is no way that I am going to look good anytime soon... even if I eat right and exercise like crazy...

I am so discouraged! I haven't been exercising nor eating right--what seemed so easy and almost fun to do, now feels almost impossible to get back into the swing of... I even have a new heart rate monitor that I am dying to try out but can't get myself going enough to use it... It has been 2 months of this... I had almost…

What is the reverse diet supposed to do? And are you sure it isn't just water?

Hahaha.... yeah... Nursing School did the same thing to me... I ate trail mix... put on the pounds... I can't blame it all on the trailmix though...

I'm in the process of doing it... I have seen my stamina improce hugely! But I'm having a hard time keeping up with the plan... it's taking me longer than 8 weeks for sure... Being a mom to a young one is making it even harder...

I say pig out. You are right... Thanksgiving is only once a year... just change one thing: Don't feel guilty afterward. If you decide to allow yourself to eat, then why suffer afterward? It doesn't burn extra calories! Then eat really carefully until Christmas!

YEAH!!! That's wonderful... you're doing it! You will meet your goal... even if it is a little bit after :)

I got mine at old navy too for a good price and cute colors, but I don't know about size... They have an S, M, L, XL and XXL... I wear a 36C and wear a L in their bra... hope that helps I LOVE mine...

Yep. Protein keeps you full... also, are you eating big meals all at once... space out what you are eating...

Thats really good advice... Thanks--I think that just might help me get up tomorrow morning and run and actually enjoy it! We'll see...

Lotions aren't always just a quick fix... not ones with sunscreen in them especially... I have very dry skin and I just target my especially dry areas with Aveno... I LOVE it... Lasts all day... As a registered nurse we advise people to always drink more water... no matter what your ailment is (unless you have kidney…

Ok you happy people. What if you don't feel that way??? What happens if you hate it, yet you run about 3 times a week. I do it but I hate it...especially getting going... How do I get my high?

Has anyone tried it? Is it just another scam?

It was a process... I've lost 6 lb in the past 2 months (tho my profile doesn't say it!!!)... I've been loosing about 1 lb per week... I've changed my lifestyle in the past 3 months....
