Welcome to MFP - great tool if you are like me and need to have the accountability I needed to get my eating under control. My suggestion is to put everything in your log that you put in your mouth. Did you know that 3 individually wrapped life savers equals 60 calories of nothing but sugar. Once I started seeing numbers…

Pick me! I am in. Cancun is right around the corner leaving on November 2nd and would love to drop another 10 pounds before then. I have been on a plateau since Christmas gaining and losing the same freaking 5 pounds. Have tried mixing up the workout routine - adding some jogging (and I am sooooo not a runner) and still…

No More Trouble Zones is a good all around workout and a lot less taxing on the joints because you don't do the same exercise for the extended time you don in 30 day shred. It is what really kick started my weight loss a year ago.

Not to mention you can try on 3 of the same article and they all fit different. I did read an article the other day on how jeans are made. The stack up at least 50 layers of material and then cut them all at the same time. Well if you have every stacked up several pieces of paper and cut them you know from experience that…

The 30 Day Shred is a good workout. We switch it up though and our favorite is the No More Trouble Zones. We have 3 others that we switch in and out - some harder than others but none of them are bad if you have someone to endure it with. I am always a sweaty beast when I finish a Jillian workout but sweats good right? I…

Thanks it does feel good to go down a size even when you are initially afraid to try it on for fear it won't fit. I am getting my clothes that have excess room in them and taking them to a friend of my sister to see fi there is anything she can use before I head to Goodwill with the rest. :happy:

If you know where you are going out to eat ahead of time look up the restaurant on MFP. Just type in the restaurant and see if there is something you like that is listed that won't totally side track your results. However, you do need to have moments when you eat those foods you crave or you will end up binging on…

If you want to truly get motivated start measuring once a month. I have lost more total inches than I have lost pounds. It is sooooo exciting to get into clothes that 3 months ago I couldn't fasten and they are actually loose now. Measuring is definitely a motivating factor!!!!!

My only response to heavy lifting.... is don't go too heavy because once you stop and you will stop that muscle will go to fat. I am speaking from experience. A good balance of weights and cardio is great. Doing something to the Curves circuit and working the machines hard and fast every other day will build the muscles…
