Yes, I know what you're going through. You ask what you could possibly be doing wrong.... Well first a couple of questions: HOW did you lose the weight to begin with? (Be honest) Was it extreme calorie restriction? Was it super "low carb" or any other type of restriction diet? I ask this because many times when people lose…

I'll also add that despite all the medical issues you've mentioned, there are ways to consider which are much more effective and healthier in the long run than the Master Cleanse. I'm guessing that at this point you're just very frustrated because sometime recently you looked in the mirror or on the scale and became…

If you want a serious discussion.. watch the videos below. This girl documented her experience on the Master Cleanse. 1st video (Day 40 of 40): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTlE8enL02Q - She's very enthusiastic after finishing the whole thing (she also has various videos for days 1-39) 2nd video (1 year follow up):…

Yes. I have my calories set, and as long as I eat within that calorie amount or below, I've been losing. (Actually, as long as I average at or below that daily amount during the week I"m good. So.. if I go over a couple hundred calories one day but am under another, no big deal). Doesn't matter what I eat. What does matter…

My natural hip size and bone structure in general would probably never let me be below a size 4. Granted.. I still have yet to see the day that I fit into a 4.. I just have a feeling so therefore I'm not going to try and make a ridiculous goal to get to a 0 just because other girls can. I've been 5'7" since I was in 5th…

LOL!! I was thinking "this... again?".

I'm not sure... however I will tell you that was one of my biggest motivators when I first started here too! I loved logging in and unexpectedly seeing "msliu7911 has logged in for ## days in a row!" I think I got as high as 120 days or so then one night I was literally 5 minutes too late to log for that day and it RESET…

I use my credit card for just about everything, earn 2% cash back on it all, then pay in full at the end of month and cash in points every few. :) I wouldn't be able to sleep with that much credit card debt. I do remember back in college, living paycheck to paycheck, I managed to rack up $4.5K in credit card debt and it…

^^ QFT! lol

LOL total creepin!

Looking for protein... try eggs, plain greek yogurt with fresh fruit or honey mixed in.. topped with almonds, fish, chicken. All very lean and will keep you full for a while!

You . Look. Ahhhh-mazing!

Amazing results so far.. you can see it in all pictures but I really can see a huge amount of progress in your side pic. Not just belly loss but posture and muscle sculpting. Great job!

Sorry.. no instagram account but I do have a HILARIOUS parody of a Nickelback song that I think ya'll might like! Well.. if you have a good sense of humor and need a pick me up. :flowerforyou: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn-dD-QKYN4

963 calories?! How long did you exercise for??

Your goal is very reasonable but it's going to take great dedication. As another poster said thats about 1.5-2 lbs per week. You're really going to need to focus on your diet and trying to fit in 30 minutes of activity a few times a week. My guess is that if you stay within 1200-1400 net per day then you will most likely…

I've tried many of their products just because I know a couple who does this for a living and I like to support them. :) The only product I can honestly say that is very distinct to Herbalife and differentiated from other stuff out on the market is their Herbal Tea Concentrate. Gives me energy and drive w/o jitters or…

BAHAHAHA. Toook me a few seconds!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I weigh in the same day/time once a week (friday morning) no matter what time of month. Even if I am up a pound or 2, that gives me more motivation to work it off for next week's weigh in. Then sometimes not only have I lost that bloat the next week.. but maybe even another .5-2 lbs :)

Please- Look up Glaucoma. Not trying to worry you, but you have to be realistic here and check out all avenues before assuming its a "positive" change. Its great that you're doing this whole raw plant based diet.. but still go to a doctor asap. If it is something serious, you could save a lot of time, money, and grief by…

Since I haven't yet reached my goal, I can't say for sure. But what I do know from the past is that until losing most all of their fat, many people won't see much muscle definition. Also, some people lose weight too fast so they lose fat and muscle, giving the flabby effect. For you i would say just give it a little more…

Depends what kind of job it is. I would say if you're sitting at a desk, or cash register all day, it would still be sedentary. If you do cashier work in retail or stand all day and walk around occassionally, I think thats enough for you to enter the next level up (lightly active?).

Love this group! I'm so glad to read stories that sound sooo similar to what I've experienced! As for my "story"....... I've had rods in, then out, all within a period of 5 years. In 1999 (6th grade) one of my teachers noticed that my left shoulder was always much lower than my right. (looking back, you can see this in…

If I had to do stuff other than what you've named (which is everything I love to do too).. then I'd pick floor exercises that use your body weight like planks, ab exercises, light lunges, maybe some arm exercises. :)

This x3

For those stating that they're really bad... What about the ones w/ only 10 calories? (low/no sugar) How can these be as bad as a soda? If they're that bad too.. where would you suggest to get extra energy? Looking at the nutritional facts I do see a ton of vitamins/aminos mentioned, and of course some items I can't…

rocky!

Great idea! I currently keep my phone on my nightstand (next to my bed - Alarm #1), and my radio alarm clock on my dresser (across from the foot of the bed - Alarms #2 & 3). I'm seriously thinking I need to place it in the bathroom or something. I hate walking across the cold floor but if it will help me wake up then so be…

You sound just like me! If I have an early meeting/presentation at work, need to catch a flight, etc... I'll have NO problem getting up! Its like my half-asleep self is personally sabatoging my goals to study and work out before I go to work!

LOL. Wow, I wish my dog would be that way. I can't get a cat though... semi-allergic. HOWEVER maybe a rooster?!! Not sure if there are any code/ HOA restrictions on that though, being that I live in a residential neighborhood. :P
