I lost 2 pounds! I am super excited about this because it is my TOM and I still managed to lose. I did not go over my calories any time during the past week, but I also did not exercise at all! I need to do better with the working out this coming week. Great job on everybody's progress. I posted this yesterday on the old…

Thanks for the great answers. I really appreciate the guidance. I want to lost 20 to 25 pounds before I reduce my weekly number. I do plan to go .5 pounds per week after that. But I was hoping to keep at 1.5 pounds per week until then.The main reason is that i want to lose weight before I graduate college and have to buy a…

Too bad they don't make diet coke icees.

Want to hear something weird? I lost between 5 to 7 pounds and actually went up a cups size. I was a 40 C now I am a 38 D. I lost weight around my back and rib cage, but around by breasts I stayed the same size. I know this will not last, as I lose more weight some will probably come from my boobs as well. It did make my…

I am with you sister. I had the worst sugar cravings, but I have been pretty successful at keeping my (simple) sugar intake at a minimum. Ofcourse fruit blueberries and cherries are my favorite. But as a sweet junkies we both know that fruit doesn't cut it (especially during that time of the month). In those instances i…

Well I started at 180 and they started me at 1200 calories, which, I believe, is the minimum. I am down to 175 now. So how can my program change if I am already consuming the minimum number of calories?

Most people say that you should eat most of your calories earlier in the day. Most people say have a big breakfast medium lunch and then a small dinner. However, I am usually not that hungry in the morning, so I usually just have around 150-200 calories for Breakfast. I find that if I consume more calories in the morning I…

I know i am a week late, but I would like to join this challenge. I am in another similar challenge, but the more the merrier. SW:177 Pants Size 12-14 GW by thanksgiving:150 Pants Size 8-10ish

"The Movers and The Shakers" sounds great to me.

I'm in. I definately can do the water challenge. I am one of those rare individuals that actually enjoys the taste of water. I have joined serveral chanenges and never found them again.How do I find this challenge again?

Man I could not make it through week one of P90x. I am too weak!. I hope to one day be at a fitness level where I can complete the program. Great job to you making it through the first week.

I have heard that a lack of Potassium or certain B vitamins (B12 in particular) can cause these kinds of problems. You might want to make sure you are getting enough of these.

Hello back. Congratulations on the engagement. That is one a hell of a motivator. I am engaged as well, but we don't have a date set yet (I already call him my husband though; we just haven't had the funds to make it official yet). The date should be either some time next year or early in the year after. I can get a jump…

I kind of hope that it is not true because apple cider vinegar is DISGUSTING! I used to have a vocal coach that had me drink it. Yuck. It supposedly cleared the flem from your throat so you could sing without cracking, and prevented colds and sinus infestions. I don't know if those claims are true either.

I am interested in this surgery too. Unfortunately for me, the surgery currently only works on new stretch marks (the reddish-purple ones) not the old ones (faded white silvery color) Sigh. That is my understanding anyway. Have you heard anything different?

I highly recommend Indian recipes. I am not a huge veggie fan, but in Indian food they have so many spices that they taste delicious. Indian food is an acquired taste though

1. Baggy tee shirt and Jeans 2. Planks 3. Spicy Chick Peas with Quinoa 4. I agree with the shave my legs and lotion and makeup and accessories 5: I don't have one. I should probably get one. Maybe I will reward myself with one after I have lost 20 more pounds.

I am joining this group. Great motivation. I own personal goal is to lose 20 pounds by week 14, the week of my graduation, and another 5-10 by Christmas. Start Date July 15 - Starting weight 179 lbs. Week 1 July 22 - 177 (-2) Week 2 July 29 Week 3 August 5 Week 4 August 12 Week 5 August 19 Week 6 August 26 Week 7 September…

Is there any way you could wear your HRM during these activities, maybe just one time. I wore one once at my retail stocking job and was surprised at the results. I was burning way more calories that I thought I was.

I have had a rough week too. My husband is in the hospital. I have been at school at work and at the hosptial and only at home to sleep for the past 5 days. Last time he was in the hospital, in April, I let it totally derail me. I ate McDonalds for every meal, there is a McDonalds in the Hospital. I gained 4 pounds in a…

That stuff can be ok in MODERATION. I wouldnt use it for a whole week maybe a few days. I would only recommend it if you are suffering from constipation. That being said, my mom used it recently and it helped her feel less bloated, but that could be the placebo effect. She used "Smooth Move" tea which has senna.

I sprinkle it on cereal or in yogurt. Just make sure that you use ground flax seed or flax seed oil, not the whole flax seeds. I just heard on Oprah that whole flax seed does not give you any of the omego 3 benefits because it does not digest in your system. You just poop it right back out.

Just saw this thread. I tried just now. I did it for just under a minute (shaking all the way)!. This is a great challenge. I will try to make it over a minute tomorrow.

Wow! You look great! Congratulations and keep up the good work. I do not have any pictures like that to show of myself yet. But I hope to soon.

I would like to join as well, but I will make my goal around16-18 pounds. I want to make sure that I do not lose weight too fast. I would like to lost between 8-10 pounds by August 1st. I am maid-of-honour at my best friends wedding on that day. I would also like for my arms to be more toned by that day.

Well ,if you are really hardcore about it, then I would say do P-90X. Everyone I have ever talked to that did P-90X all the way through had rediculous results. The program is really insane though. SO HARD!! I could not make it through. It is a 3-month program so it would work well with your time frame. I don't know if…

Thanks for all of the comments. So the general concensus is that the food stinks and makes you fart lol!

How expensive is Jenny Craig. I read that NutriSystem is around $300 dollars a month. I just read a MSN articles on the cost of different weight loss programs? It did not have the average cost of food included for Jenny Craig.

I think cookinglight.com has a lower calorie, low fat potato salad recipe under healthy living.
