I never count anything that is not water as water. With the exception of crystal light and other 0 calorie powdered drink packets. I definitely do not count sodas of any kind, coffee, tea, or even the Gatorade powder I use after a hard workout sometimes. To each's own I just think if it is not hydrating my body it doesn't…

Water weight...happens to me all the time. Just watch your sodium intake and drink plenty of water the next few days and you will see the scale go back down.

Not doing 30 DS but I love Jillian. I do her Kickbox Quick Fix, and 6 Pack in 6 Weeks, and I own her kettlebell set...just started those and I love them!

Well the first thing I will tell you is...weight loss is just a struggle period! We all go through the ups and downs...thank God for MFP and the support we give each other. Second, I would really have to know what your eating routine is in order to give pointers. I can tell you what works for me, but we are not the same so…

Occasionally he does. Like when we go out to eat and I talk about how many calories are in something that he is eating. He says I need to take a break from all the counting sometimes. I feel like I need to be conscious about everything that goes in the tank even on the days I know I am going to go over on cals. It's just…

This looks awesome...definitely going to try it sometime this week. My bf and I love pizza and I definitely need a lower calorie version.

The summers are hot as hell and the winter weather is truly unpredictable. We never have just rain it is always a thunderstorm. Everything south of Dallas is ghetto or half way there (and I live south of Dallas :-/). Oh and it is not my wonderful homestate of California!

Perfectly ok. Avocado is high in good fat. It's excellent for your hair, skin, and nails because it contains essential oils. I think you will be fine.

Thunderbird wine...that *kitten* is cheap like 2 bucks a bottle and it sneaks up on you like a thief in the night. Hardly tastes like anything to me, but drink a 20 oz. bottle and before you know it you are stupid drunk. Worst and only vomitting I have ever done from drinking. Oh those college days!

Yes it is pretty normal. Sometimes when we have been a certain weight for so long we have a hard time accepting otherwise. I am sure other notice a clear difference. You just don't see it because frankly you see yourself everyday!

Oh and it is hilarious to me that everyone is saying black polish is goth and emo. Very classy ladies wear that polish too just look at Anna Wintour...powerful lady and always on trend!

Doesn't matter. My mom's a manager at a real estate corporate office and has been for years. They don't look at that stuff. If anything the thing she always talks about is how a person is dressed, how their hair is styled, and even their body odor. Never...some damn nail polish...lol.

I lost a human head...that's somewhat impressive.

I totally agree. I am on 1200 and I eat a crap ton of protein. Keeps you full and satisfied and I certainly do not feel deprived. The exercise you do matters as well because the more intense something is the more cals you get back. I usually net 1200 but eat anywhere from 1300-1500 calories daily because I love kickboxing…

Just pay them no nevermind. I was like that at 18 too. I called everybody old. Your perspective on things is just distorted at that age I've decided. I am 25 now and see things a lot clearer. 40 really is the new 20! I personally can't wait to turn 30 because maybe by then I will be "smart".

Gin and tonic is one of the lowest, but if you are looking for something that actually tastes good I would go with any type of calorie free chaser (i.e. coke zero, diet dr. pepper, sprite zero, etc.) and vodka, clear rum, or gin. Stay away from beer and if you have to drink wine go for something red.

I never trust the treadmill unless it is the kind that lets you enter your height and weight before starting your session. Otherwise the machine is not intuitive enough to tell you an accurate calorie burn. MFP at least already has your stats and is basing your burn on that. Not totally accurate but nothing is. If you are…

It's water weight! Down that water like you are dying of thirst and those 3 lbs. will be gone. :-)

I'm not but my good friend at work is. I try to be as encouraging as possible by not talking about food while he's fasting.

Lookin' good! Way to go.

I have definitely had this problem and not to be gross but mine was gas. You may want to try and gentle laxative, prune juice, or anything that may get things moving. Hope this helps. :-)

You look fantastic and I bet you are going to be feeling smokin' hot after that lift girl!

I had oatmeal this morning. Love that stuff! I eat mine with warm milk or half & half. I have since I was a kid. Can't do water...just doesn't taste the same!

You look great! Your features are so much more defined...great job!

This^^ Sorry hun...and men say that we are complicated!

This is a good one...wish I had thought of it. Love this movie too!

Awww...very sweet!

Punch Drunk Love. And no he doesn't hit me. We are just a bit dysfunctional and people do not understand our relationship.

Definitely agree with this. I am only 25 but I have seen my metabolism slow down drastically and I know the closer I get to 30 the better quality of food I am going to have to eat in order to stay healthy. That being said I go for organics...just about everything in my house is organic including my quinoa pasta...so I eat…

I have a HealthOMeter digital scale and I love it. I got it at Wal*Mart. My mother in law has one too and it works great!
