Looks great!

Mine goes up when I am pms'ing, all my clothes fit tight, then when it actually starts, by day two I actually feel thinner usually. Also I eat more "junk" when I am pms'ing due to cravings so that probably does not help!

Seriously I would give up my apple shape for your pear shape any day! I would love to have a waistline, and my legs and hips are too thin for my waist. I wear a 36c on the top half (d when I am heavier) and still look waist heavy. I would gladly give up a little of my boobs to get a butt and waist!!

Getting your tubes tied is probably not the underlying reason most peoples periods would be out of whack. In most cases it would have more to do with stopping birth control. I had mine done 5 years ago and have had no side effects whatsoever except maybe the first few months while my body adjusted. My periods are if…

I noticed there is no water logged on your diary? Are you drinking plenty of water? This could help! Also it does look like your calories are far too low on some days, which could be having reverse effect on your weight loss, your body could be storing those calories as fat, because you aren't fueling for your exersising…

I am on day 4 of level 1 and I am like you, I have always had a hard time sticking to something, but I am 100% committed to finishing this after seeing everyones before and after pictures, and success stories. I almost died day 1 and wanted to skip day 2 but forced myself to do it, sore muscles and all. Day 3 I took a rest…

Definitely going to have to try this!

rquin, in your profile picture you somewhat remind me of Jillian Michaels!

Oh and as to our budget, we are planning on spending around 4-5k, the majority of that going to the photographer and dj and food. Decorations are DIY, we are doing a vintage/country theme and getting married on my grandparents farm (saves a ton) and having the reception in a huge old barn! I made the bouquets and…

Its great that you were able to have your husbands friends do that, but as a professional wedding photographer myself I totally disagree about "charing too much" . A lot of people do not realize the hours that go into a wedding. A good photographer may only be on site for 6-8 hours, but will spend triple that at the…

I have to agree at Boydsterk with Mischa Barton!

I didnt know who that was, but googled her and I can kinda see it I guess?!~ :)

@Beatleschica, you remind me a little of Bette Midler in your close up (when she was thin) and I think Bette is gorgeous!! :)

I had mine removed 8 years ago and I seem to have digestive problems ever since. I either have loose stools or am constipated, never am regular and I think it has effected my weight loss, though am not sure. I battled gall stones for a year before going to the doctor, . Started getting sick when I would eat and throwing…

Also wondering if having no gallbladder can effect weight loss? I know it is supposed to break down fatty foods, or aid in that, so is there a possible relation?

I agree with Frenchprarie, try the diet solution program by Isabel De Los Rios, it gives some great, solid advice and its tailored to help you lose fat and keep it off. Basically all of these processed foods and chemicals go to your liver to be broke down and flushed out, your liver has the ability to break down fats as…

Craig, I have done the diet solution, and I LOVED it, I felt more energized and much healthier all around. 99% of the information she gives is good solid advice! Was she wrong on the sugar stuff? Who knows, I can not seem to find that in my pdf files from her, but I do know that for the short time I was able to afford to…

I am a May 19th bride as well! I need to lose a few pounds to fit in my dress and hopefully if it needs altered, it will be taking it in, not out!!!

I have come to love brown rice, and wheat pasta tastes the same to me as well, although I am trying to stay entirely away from both. I did try the spelt pasta and I would rather never eat pasta than to eat that again, it was terrible! As to salad dressing, try making your own with dijon mustard, pure natural honey (we get…

I have read a lot of different opinions on that, I will be taking a break tomorrow between day 2 and 3, dont want to damage any muscles, but will try to do 3-7 consecutively, and then give myself a 1 day break before starting stage 2. Hopefully I can make it through stage 2 with only one break, and then the same with 3. I…

I am currently 161, my highest ever weight ever was 190 at 18 (after my daughter I could not lose weight and just kept gaining) then my lowest was 118 at around 22, I had gall bladder issues and threw up everything I ate. I was tooooo thin then, and had no chest or behind, around 135-140 is what looks best on my frame, and…

Oh I did 30 day shred, I misread the title of the post I think! I am pretty out of shape though and it kicked my butt. I just did finish the second day and although I was really sore, I did not slack on it, and by the time it was over my muscles actually felt better than they did before the workout! I think after 30 day…

I just did day 1 yesterday, going to attempt day 2 today, but my legs are so sore I have to hold on to something to sit down. Need more potassium!!!

My fiance and I are both in Northeast Missouri, about 90 miles north of Columbia :)

Hi guys, my name is Karmyn and I am a wedding/senior/family photographer in Northeast MIssouri. I have been in business for about 5 years, full time for the last two years and I love it all (except accounting ) :) You can find my website at www.ribbonsandrainbowsphotography.com and I am active on facebook as well under…

Congratulations! We have a a xbox (no kinect) and wii system, but havent purchased the wii fit board yet, and most of the workout videos for it require the board. We just started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred today and boy did it kick my butt! My fiance works out 4 times a week already and is in so much better shape than…

Turned 30 in November, I am 5'8 and 161 lbs currently. Started at 175, but didn't start the program here until I was 163. I have 4 children, and i weigh almost as much now as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with the 4th one. I decided to give this place a try and so far I am loving it! Goal weight is 130-135, I used to…

Hello! I am new too! It sounds like you are on the right track cutting out those empty calories from sweetened drinks! I quit soda about 2 years ago (still have one as a treat now and then) I didn't lose any weight when I quit drinking it, but I did feel alot better. Pumping all that sugar into me sure put my body in a…
