In defense of Cybergran's capitals....well she's my mom...lol...she's a fair amount older than the majority of us and didn't get a big lesson on Internet etiquette. Despite me giving her the same advice to NOT TYPE ALL IN CAPS...I think she thinks it works for her ... hahaha!!. But I hope she'll take your advice as for the…

Isn't there a way to increase My Fitness Pal's settings to allot for a little more protein? Exercise (especially weights) would require more protein, for example...plus I find a little extra protein makes me less hungry....that's a good thing. I don't think going over a little is a problem...just don't know how much…

Ummm.....a potential for the movie "Magic Mike" LOL

CAW - Maya Rudolph

Canned tuna - I like the little cans that have a flavor in them...especially the tuna in basil infused oil yum Chick peas...I can eat them with just a little salt, and intend to try roasting them sometime Dessert-like - a banana dipped in melted peanut butter

No bottle dressings at all. Either make my own with olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or other type), dijon mustard, salt, pepper BUT I have found that I much prefer ONLY Extra Virgin Olive Oil and salt/pepper. I taste the veggies better and it makes it rich. About 1-2 tablespoons depending if it is a small or large salad.

The 30 Day Shred - Jillian Michaels. Starts you off "slowly"...you can even use no weights to begin with and just use your own resistance. Don't move on to level two and three until you are ready.

Road Dog - Terry O'Quinn

I have several goals/treats along the way....lots of new clothes of course LOL But my reaching my goal weight treat will HAVE to be a Staycation with hubs. Including new lingerie *wink*

bump I am thinking that I should be upping my calories soon...however, it's hard because my meals have LOTS of veggies in them and they don't have many calories and they are filling. LOL

I smell burnout. How is a person supposed to maintain a lifestyle like that....especially when you're not going to lose anything that way. No offense .... but you're totally martyring yourself and the cause isn't working.

I think that's what people mean, but it's a convenient way of saying it. If you took a grapefruit and one was made of fat and one was muscle...the muscle one would weigh more than the fat one....just that the fat one would be useless. Okay that was a horrible analogy, but you know what I mean. LOL

I've got the same problem. I've definitely cut back and only have wine Saturday night with my hubby while we relax together. BUT I would love to be able to take it down to 2 drinks instead of 4 or whatever. I hope that with time, and weight loss, I won't need more than 2. Want to be friends since we have the same dilemma?…

I discovered yesterday that there is actually an option in the MENU to have music only.....it was wonderful just watching her mouth move and nothing coming out!!!

You're right...he did choose food related rewards, didn't he? LOL Oh well, at least he did something nice for me. Also I think 10 days of being on track deserves whatever he plans. I only had a small piece of shepherd's pie, and plan on having a great date night, not centred around food.......sex maybe...is that healthy…

OOOoooh!!! This is being delivered to me today!!! I'm in very soon. I have 4 more days of the Shred to go though.

I am having excellent results with Jillian. I do agree she gets to grind on the nerves a little....but it's only 20 ish minutes....of pain...but it works!!!!

I find that as soon as I start eating clean, my appetite diminishes (sorry you weren't looking for that)...but I am a serious appetite monster. Also reducing and cutting out sugar and the "bad carbs" definitely works too....you just have to get over those first few days of MAN I WANT PASTA feelings.

I had the same thing when working out and running. I learned that I have to avoid eating for like 1.5 hours or more before working out. Maybe it's WHAT I ate...like protein too.....I don't know but I would try that if you haven't already. It could be the other reasons as well...water, breathing OR just getting in better…

I'm glad everyone likes it!!! I'd love to hear if people are using it too. :happy:

I see no one has answered. I would like to try to guess why. I believe that weight training in general burns less calories DURING the workout, whereas cardio burns more. Bike riding is strictly cardio, whereas 30DS and "circuit training" involves weights, so the estimate is less calorie burn. I agree...I want to die too,…

What I love about this post is that the replies signify that I'M NOT ALONE!!!! I don't know what my worst binge ever was, but I've certainly been stupid with the "f*** it!!!" attitude and grabbing one after another granola bar, or chicken breast for lunch and then, having a couple more because the first was so good, or…

I was 20. he was 26.....we were 2 years together...married at 21. Still together...June 7th will be 15 years married. I love him so much. Screw the married young sucks folks.

I wear two (if not three) bras....hold them puppies down.

Oh yeah...none of it is really that great...but definitely effective. I'm rounding up my last few days of Level two here...so I can comment on Levels One and Two. Level One - Least favourite - I totally agree with the side lunges/anterior arm raises. OUCH Level Two - Least favourite - V-flies/chair squats - the bad being…

k will do!

Sure, that would work. Do the bunch of you chat in a particular thread?

I think I will try this after I finish 30DS .... bumping

bunny: can't tell from your face, but the figure is like Maggie Gylinhall (sp?)

I just started today....is there a "group" somewhere on MFP that is together discussing this? I would like to join in on a discussion.
