Try taking out artificial sweeteners. I did and lost 10 pounds in three weeks.

I tried it for one week. I ate well and still had leakage issues. i went on a bike ride and enough said.... sooooooooooooooooo not worth that kind of crap.... excuse the pun.

Thanks for the thread and the advice. I am excited to kick it up a level.

I would love to join a group about this... but I don't know how too on mfp.

I have tried other whey proteins and I just can't get into it. I have only been able to add it to a smootie to enjoy. But... I really didn't like it.

I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 17. I weigh 140 and I topped out at 172 during one of my pregs. My stomach needs fixing as well as my boobs. I think it might be inevitable if you want your clothes to look good. However, I think some people have more elastic skin than others. My friend drank a lot of water while losing…

Thanks for the great advice.

No none of them.

I made low fat chicken enchillidas last night. Brown chicken breast in pam-- Shred Put chicken in a tortilla (whole grain preferably) put hot peppers one slice of slender american and the sauce 99% fat free cream of chicken soup (pour a little inside) and then on top. Mix the soup with a can of water before pouring. MY…

I love Turbo Jam. You will see awesome changes. Good luck.

Thanks for the kind words! I love mfp. It helps so much.

I agree. Watch the incline. I had to sell my treadmill because I push the incline up to high. (It burns so many more calories but it ruins your legs.

I was at the same point. I read jillian Michael's new book and took some of her advice the last two weeks. I have completely cut out any artifical sweeteners and I have been trying to only eat things from the ground or from an animal. VIOLA ! After 6 months stuck... I lost 9 pounds in two weeks.

On demand has some great moves in there 10 minute sections. That will help you get the correct form. It is under the excercise portion. Good luck. Tricep kick backs rock.

The produce numbers were interesting too. What changes are you making? Go see Food, Inc. and watch the trailer too. I have changed the way that I buy meat too because of that movie.

I read it. I stopped using artifical sweetner this week. It is hard but... it really makes sense that our bodies don't understand the processed stuff.

Please get your thyroid checked. Sounds familar!

LOVE IT!

Love it!

I read the Jillian Michael. Master your metabolism. Basically... it say only eat things that grow from the ground or from a mother. It is pretty informative.

I just bought these new things called... Kim's magic pop. They taste like a cross between a tortilla chip and rice cake they are about 6 in in diameter and are 15 calories. I have been having with salsa.... YUM!

Too funny... I was just thinking the same thing. I want to get a tummy tuck at christmas time. I want to be the lowest weight possible prior to it.:blushing:

Thanks for the input. It is good to know that I won't be bored.

Oscar meyer makes a good 98% fat free bologna. Add slender american cheese. Viola! An old classic.

It sounds crazy but... mint sugarless gum works for me or brushing my teeth. It tricks my brain that I had a treat and because my breath has that "just brushed" feeling: I am less likely to introduce a new food or drink.

Jillian Michaels recommends punches. Like boxing. Good luck. Sorry to hear that you are hurt.

I just got the Hungry Girl - 200 under 200 and it is fabulous too. :noway:

I did Boost Your Metabolism tonight and No More Trouble Zones last night. I love on demand. Try the Less is More Cardio. It is one insane half hour. Also Bob's (from Biggest Loser) Bootcamp is awesome too. I figure they get really obese people to lose a 100 pounds. It should work for my last 16 pounds.:bigsmile:

Great job... you lost a six year old. That is how much my 6 year old son weighs. Congrads.

I am so happy that you are turning a negative situation into a positive. I just lost about 26 pounds since Jan 1. I quit smoking about two years ago. I feel great and i am sure after you get over the quiting smoking hump, you will too. Don't do crazy diets like Atkins.... Just eat you calorie allotment and exercise. You…
