I just try to think about how much harder it will be for me to fight the cravings the rest of the day if I eat high fructose corn syrup or other sugary goodness. those things cause the cravings and set me up for wanting more and more!

My fuelband died so I got a fitbit. I didn't like it as much bc it doesn't show the time. I also became frustrated because it would record off the charts if I vacuumed or mopped but barely registered if I did an hour long difficult class. I bought a new fuelband.

night before: measure out 1/3 rolled oats and scoop protein powder in coffee cup. place under keurig. in morning: grab handful of blueberries or raisins. add lowest setting keurig water to oatmeal. eat in car.

It's a lot better than it used to be. I managed grilled chicken sandwiches and fruit most parks.

agreed. great concept though. makes me think I should really just prep and package my own add-ins every monday to have rest of week.

goldfish crackers and grilled cheese. haha. actually breastfeeding and then feeling like mother earth life-giver deserved her processed carbs. then my youngest turned seven. lol. We had a woman quit our bootcamp recently because she said she felt it was selfish that she was taking her time away from the kids. total copout.…

So interesting that you added that you sleep less than 8 hours a night. I do a bootcamp 5 days a week and home videos other 2. Im 5'3" and 113 lbs. My mother died in hospice in december and I was not sleeping and was obviously very stressed. I kept up MFP proportions (although sometimes skipping meals and not making…

Good question. when I make a recipe, I take a picture of the Cals,carbs, fats page and text my hubby. He then puts it in his My Foods rather than go through whole process himself.

Use this awful day as your motivation to stay on course. Take your selfie and make this day 1 because you never want to be crying on the closet floor ever again. It's not easy. We are here for you.

uck. furry lettuce. My friends love to roast up kale chips and pretend they are as good as nachos. since its so trendy, I've learned to like it in turkey meatloaf.

I am workout DVD junkie but HATE working out at home. Have them all. the only one I actually did in sequence and looked forward to every day was Les Mills Pump. "Trainers" keep changing. beginning is short videos but it builds up to more minutes by end of the 90 days. I just got the Firm's newest. short videos. good if…

You... are... adorable-before and after! Your healthier self rocks! Congratulations.

I had a McD french fry recently and it didnt even taste like food yet I felt I needed more. weird what that taste does to your brain! Despite the radioactive orange cheese and stark white bun, I do treat myself to an Egg Mcmuffin once a week. shhh. dont tell anyone. ;)

Just like you wont lose weight if you diet one day, you wont gain weight by cheating one day.

Like Rachel said, I'm thinking consistency is the key. Nothing is going to work if your body knows its temporary. The body is an amazing machine that will try its hardest to maintain status quo. It didnt take you a month to get where you are and it wont take a month to take it off. You need to maintain your new lifestyle…

How did it go????

Best thread ever

Chicory Root should come with a warning! I had my gall bladder out 4 years ago. I had a Fiber One bar over the summer and it felt like a gall bladder attack. I have since avoided chicory root until this week... I was awake for two days with pain and 6+ trips to bathroom per day. not diarrhea, just alot. I spent yesterday…

I'm loving it too. I'm in week 8. I tried. I really tried to like Turbo Jam but Chalene drives me nuts. I love the way Les Mills people switch around to make it less monotonous. I have not skipped a day. Unbelievable since I've tried countless home video series but always wound up dusting or doing something else that…

Sounds like reducing overall body fat will help with that. What kind of cardio are you doing? My hubby did both P90X and Insanity. He saw results with both but Insanity truly was insane sculpting results.

LOL. I used that thing at a vitamin store. It said 32% body fat. A year later, I went back after losing 15 lbs and doing crossfit 4 days a week. I was feeling pretty psyched. It said 35% body fat! I'm 5'3, 109 lbs and feel great. The woman was so shocked and embarrassed. She said menstruation and other things usually make…

I hear ya! Shakeology costs so much because of all the coaches the product supports! I've found cheapest proteins cause most gas (maybe TMI). I think best taste but but half price of shakeology is Max Muscle High Five and Sun Warrior from Vitamin Shoppe.

I think it depends on your personality. If you are type A and enjoy inputting everything into your phone or computer, it will be great. If you cant get to your device throughout the day, its easy to forget to record or measure accurately. I could also see it failing it you eat out alot. Although there are so many…

Are you eating enough? Are you eating high sodium, processed foods? You could be retaining water. If you truly need a quick drop to inspire you, perhaps try phase 1 of south beach for a week and then let in healthy carbs. I dont think its good long term but helps to boost your spirits if youre scale watching

If its the ease and convenience, perhaps pack some great tasting bars or shakes. I'm loving the Oh Yeah brands lately. Hard to find in stores but on amazon.

Wow. wow. wow. love it.

If it were easy, everybody would be thin! It's just a number. How do you feel? You pumped for next week??? Rock on.

ugh. the dreaded bridesmaids dress.Two weeks of South Beach Phase 1 always good for a temporary loss of 5-15 lbs. after that, up your protein and eat 5-6 small meals per day with honest to God real complex carbs and you'll find you wont be as hungry. My friend did beachbody reset and lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks. The reset is…

My trainer guy insists it takes 72 hours after drinking alcohol to get back to maximum fat burning rates. I've never read that anywhere else but the one woman who loves beer is the only one not losing weight after a year in our group.
