You just made my day :~)

YAY!!! That is the BEST....I had the same thing happen when trying to find an outfit for my bachelorette party this weekend. Have a good time!!!

18 inches is AWESOME!!! and good for you in realizing it isn't just about the number on the scale!!! Way to go!

LOL!!!!

Yes, you do need to eat that much protein to build muscle. I find that the days I eat chicken breast I can get my protein in easily and stay under my calorie goal. I also use those low carb / high fiber wraps( the ones I get are either 50 or 80 calories) as those usually tend to have a higher amount of protein especially…

I've had an IUD of some sort since my son was born in 1994. The last two have been the mirena, I'll say that I was skinnier when I had the first on put in but I was also younger, and a LOT more active. Now that I'm active again the weight is coming off again.....

But then it wouldn't taste like cheesecake. I was looking for a healthy alternative to eating the cheesecake. This not only had less than 100 calories (not including the fruit) but also had 10 grams of protein.

Way to go...what a good feeling!

I have Insanity and I don't follow the "plan" there are other workout things that I like to do. I think it took me about a month and a half to get through th first month. What I did was I skipped the "rest day" since I was already taking those other days and just went with the calendar one day at a time. At the end of the…

OMG! I literally just complained to my fiancee about that when I was done working out this morning. I don't really have an answer to help you but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. For some reason I sweat way more now that I ever have, even when I was really, really fit before. Not a fan of that....

bump This looks AMAZING!

That is both AWESOME and sucky! WTG on the loss though :)

I'm a Derby Girl!! I'm currently on a leave for some schooling (How I wish there were more hours in the day!!) but will be going back for our next season. I'm with Mississippi Valley Mayem in LaCrosse WI.......derby is my FAVORITE form of exercise!

1/2 an inch is definately awesome! Good work. I agree that seeing the people in the video about to collapse really does make me feel better about the breaks I have to take. I'm starting the second week and I think that it was a little easier the second time, hopefully I can master this DVD......we'll see.

So I took pictures and measurements today.....I'm excited to see the changes when I get even to day 60! My goal is to reduce my BF% to a healthier range. I have to agree with the recovery comments, my mucles were BURNING! and my arms felt like noodles all day after that. I hope that means when I'm done they will have some…

I'm very lucky in that my fiancee' is very supportive, but he has asked a few times if " I'm going to get super hot and leave him" lol! The whole comment was rather ridiculous to me since that thought had never entered my mind. I decided after I heard it a couple of times to make a better effort to let him know how much he…

I really thought that I was in pretty good shape...I workout 5-6 days a week at with my heartrate at about 90% of my max and I do stregnth training as well. I needed a new challenge so this will definately be it.:smile:

I started Insanity on Thursday...had to rest today as I'm almost too sore to walk! So far I love it though.

It's because they see you everday, and the loss was slower. I know I never "see" any of my own loss until I measure or put on an old pair of pants that now are too big to wear.....then it is like a lightbulb went off! WAY TO GO on the loss though!!! that is a major accomlpishment!!!

My absolute favorite isn't related to weight....... "You are REALLY pretty....for a redhead!!" Ummmmm......thanks? :smile:

I took a very quick look at your diary and my suggestion is that perhaps you aren't eating enough calories. There seems to be a big deficit on many days. But I also know that sometimes diarys can be deceving. I know that when my weight loss stalled I actually upped my net and then things got moving again. Another question…

I'd say if you are on a liquid diet make sure that you are using a good quality meal replacement shake so that you are still getting the nutrients that you need. As far as logging I personally would still do it but not worry too much about staying under or at a calorie deficit, just stay around my maintinence calories. My…

I'm working on getting my arms to look like that......you look FANTASTIC!!

I changed my setting to have 3 meals and 3 snacks. I usually try to keep my snacks smaller in calories but still with some protein and then eat slightly larger calorie meals. I work out pretty hard so after I add the 500 calories into my plan for the day I usually have like 1800 calories to eat, so I try to go for like 200…

Have you thought about any supplements like Omega 3's?

I work as a teller so I'm on my feet all day and I can oly wear either Dansko or Sanita shoes. They are more expensive, but have done wonders for my feet, knees and legs.

I'm a receent convert to eating first. My persnal trainer fiancee has always insisted that I need toeat before my morning workout. SInce I get up at 5:30 to do said workout I always resisted since I didn't want to get up any earlier and eating really early in the morning always makes me nauseated. Recently I have been…

My favorite are the GNC Total Lean Shakes. They have chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream ( my Favorite), strawberry and now I think they have a Blueberry one too. They are fantastic, really creamy even when made with water, taste AWESOME and have lots of fiber too.

I use greek yogart with the powdered Hidden Valley ranch mix and add a little milk to thin it out. Very tasty and SUPER low in calories!

On days that I'm REALLY unmotivated to work out I tell myself that I will do it for 15 min and then I can stop. I find that by the time I've gotten to the 15 min mark I feel like keeping on with it for the full 45 min that I usually do. Seems like a silly mind trick but it almost always works.
