I started the 17 day diet 6 days ago and lost 4lbs. Not earth shattering but pretty great since its been forever since I have done anything that has worked. I also havent applied anything with any consistency :laugh: That being said, the reviews are great, the program is based on a healthy balanced lifestyle. Back in my…

:happy: This may not be what you are looking for but the Jillian Michaels series (30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, etc...) is an intese 30 minute workout that hs intervals that I would say falls into HIIT. It is tough as first, but within days you are pleasantly surprised with your ability to keep up. I love it, and am hopin to…

I have to say, I love the JM DVDs because they are 25 - 30 minutes. An hour workout just sets me up for failure so I would not try PX90, etc.... It is hard to find an excuse to avoid 30 minutes of movement a day. I did the 30 Day Shred. Could barely walk the first week. lol But I stuck with it. I had only 28 days before a…

What I reccomend is that you buy a gift to yourself. You can purchase a scale that measures more than weight, and it is encouraging because it shows you that yes, you are working your butt off, and that one number (weight) is a poor indication of what is happening to your body. You literally are dropping pant sizes, and it…

One day at a time :) Starting is great because now you are moving in the right directon. Exercise will really deal with the stress.If you can just start by walking, even taking the grandkids out for a walk after dinner, or alone, it will make a big difference! :flowerforyou:

Dark chocolate is good...in moderation of course :love: Try slowly tasting it, and savoring it...and then save some for another attack.

One thing I do is prepare quinoa and make it into a salad with chopped veggies and a light dressing (olive oil/balsamic is great). There are many recipes online. It takes about 30 minutes but you can place it in 1 cup containers and eat it for snacks all week. It may sound like a lot of work but it isnt and the quality of…

I am in but have to start later in the month as I am leaving for holidays in two days!!! I will be back on the 18th and look forward to the success stories when I get back!

You came to the right place! The people here are a great support and have great tips to help you lose in a healthy way :flowerforyou: You are right to get off the yoyo track, it is so bad for you and does not sustain weight loss. We have this distorted view that thin people are genetically different and can eat anything,…

With you both working as a team, you cannot fail!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome:flowerforyou:

I have to admit that the weeks I am successful are the weeks I plan. I make a fresh quinoa salad and package it in 1 cup portions for the work week. It is a lifesaver and there are multiple recipes online. However, that being said, i also plan to grab. I know if I dont have time to plan, I have pre-planned where I can…

And look at how much you have lost! You are certainly winning the war even if the occasional battle seems to be beating you:wink: I have an elliptical that is collecting dust. Maybe we can be workout buddies? I need motivattion, I have the food thing ok, but not the workout part...need a friend?:flowerforyou:

Well, you are asking for an opinion, so...this is mine:flowerforyou: YES!!!! Get rid of them. Don't bet on failure, what you do once you hit your goal is you give yourself a 5lb 'top weight.' It is easy to lose 5...just make sure you don't let it get away from that...You can do this...permanently. Look at this as your new…

Welcome!! This site should be a great support to you.:flowerforyou: I heard of this book, which I bought for my son to quit smoking. Yes...a book:noway: It's called The Easy Way to Quit Smoking by Allen Carr. Look up old clips of Jay Leno on YouTube about Ashton Kutcher quitting...my neighbors read the book, both smoked…

When you set up your profile you would choose Active which would give you more calories a day, which works like 'exercise calories.' :flowerforyou:

Not so much advice but... Listen, I disabled that damn thing because it was reverse motivation to me!!! Seriously...if you have logged in for 158 days in a row (basically HALF A YEAR) then you deserve a medal not a beat down from yourself!!:noway: You are obviously doing amazing, and its not about PERFECTION, who can…

One more thing, I sneaked a peek at your profile and see you do not have any reasons listed for losing weight although your gorgeous kids are your inspiration. Maybe a brainstorm about what you need (as us moms tend to think of everyone EXCEPT us :noway: ) I would love to see what is important to YOU! Taking care of you…

First of all CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drinker: And I agree with the last comment, 10 is easy...dont let this slip now!
