Super newbie here! Going for 50 miles. Good luck everyone.

Well, It only takes one to start a revolution. Maybe others will come aboard after they see your success. Try writing you meal plans down especially in the beginning or using the tools on this site. I know this helped me before when I worked those hours. This also helps with grocery shopping. Also,try to think of your food…

You must be in the healthcare field. I remember that 7p - 7a shift in the ER. O my. All we did was eat, eat, eat! Because those hours limit your choices for food (mostly fast food and bar food in New Orleans in the late hours) I would prepare my meals and make sure to bring loads of low calorie snacks. It is really hard to…

I feel your pain..but I need to lose about 30 lbs. I think exercise is the key. Do you like being outdoors? Make it a plan to go walking three times a week after work for at least an hour. Put those headphones in and just walk away. It helps if you have a partner or a dog. Just try small adjustments. I have found in my up…

I am so psyched about getting back into the groove. I am sure this program will work for everyone who commits to it. Now the great debate...whether to wake up at the crack of dawn or work out right before bed. I need a plan in place to make sure I stick to it. Time to break out my markers and dry erase board!! Have you had…

Hi all, I have just returned to my fitness pal and working out in general. I would love to start a Supreme 90 day group challenge to get my weight loss and general health a jump start. Anyone out there who has the videos but hesitant to start. This is the perfect way to begin. What about you guys who want to try something…

This challenge is perfect for me. I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I will post my menu now because a Windows mobile app hasn't been created yet... Meal1 - 1 plum and egg whites Meal2 - Fresh grapes Meal3- 2 servings of grilled yellow squash (my fav) Meal4- Large salad w grilled shrimp. I feel better…

I am loving all the comments. Thanks you guys. I may have to go get the first fat smash book to check that out. I am really trying to get back into a size four. And the weight is coming off so slowly it's driving me insane. I will say this about the master cleanse from my previous experience. I never felt so darn energized…

I have been following ( almost) the extreme fat smash, but there is no 9 day detox in my book. What does it consist of?

Weigh in is tomorrow for me. I find that Monday and Tuesday I am more focused lol probably trying to crack down to lose those lbs last minute. I dunno. Anywho, just checking in, trying out this couch to 5k thing today , will let you guys know how that turned out tomorrow ( if I can make it). Take care and eat well everyone.

It is probably nothing. I had a biopsy back in the day lol and it was just fibrous tissue. Very common in women. If you are lucky you will end up with a star shaped scar on your boob like mine lol. :tongue: You'll be fine and I will say a prayer for ya! :flowerforyou:

AGAIN! I failed to fast. Friday will be my lucky day, esp because my friends want to do happy hour so I have to save up some calories for that. Gosh. I was doing so well week one. I need some kind of spark to get me back in stride. We shall she what tomorrow brings. And I agree, 3 days may be too much for me esp now that I…

MAN! I am jealous. Good work!!!! I hope to hit that 10lb mark soon. Carbs are my enemy and it's nice to see that eliminating them really works. I have been having such a rough couple of days sticking to my meal plans. I am glad to hear about your success. That 10lbs will stick with me for the rest of the week I hope. God…

OMG I have that exact same curve in my back !!! I do find that yoga helps, esp with an instructor. The videos are ok but it doesn't replace someone actually placing you in the right positions. After a few classes though i do find it easier to do yoga at home. I just keep hearing in my head "press your spine into the floor"…

It all depends on what time you are done fasting. If you fast from 10pm wed to 10pm thurs night, it will be very difficult to get any calories in if you go straight to bed. But if you are fasting from 3pm to 3pm the next day, for example, you have the opportunity to eat a late lunch and dinner and even snacks; which we all…

You can eat after you are done fasting. So when I fast again on Wed, I will not eat until after 6pm. After 6pm you eat, sensibly of course. But I would recommend trying to cram 1200 calories in only two meals. My last fast was yesterday. I ate about half my calorie allotment for the day. AFM: My 2 days last week went…

I have much more will power than I thought, and exercising can be very addictive.

At least you haven't gained. :flowerforyou: I stupidly stepped on a scale at bed bath and beyond and went from 152.4 on my bf's scale to 156! :sick: on the BB&B scale. I was mortified the whole night. I just went for a long walk in the park with an impromptu run because it started to pour with rain. Longest run of my life.…

I am at 1000 but I try to eat my exercise cal so it comes to about 1150 to 1200 sometimes. My food diary is oublic. Take a look. I think the biggest thing is to find foods that are filling. Fruit like plums, necartines, pears etc, are really filling easy to pick and eat, and taste great. I also don't eat many traditional…

LOL look like you have your hands full! Veggies are awesome. My favorite right now is grilled (broiled..I cheat) yellow squash. I slice it really thin, and toss it in a teas of evoo and tony's (aka seasoning salt or lawry's ..i think) and voila. It is sooo delicious.

Chipper, You will be fine. One bad day is not going to ruin you. You can do this and you have proven that to yourself already with your 50lbs lost! AFM: 8-20-10 Meal 1 - 1/2 cup yogurt w granola Meal 2 - exotic fruit smoothie Meal 3 - backed tilapia w grilled yellow squash Meal 4 - don't know yet, will try to eat a…

found some really useful information on WebMD. Link is here http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/low-calorie-cocktails The good stuff is below, looks like I'll be sticking to one or two mojitos tonight..:frown: How Many Calories in Popular Cocktails? So just how many calories are in your favorite cocktail? These calorie…

I am glad someone posted about this. Being a true New Orleanian, my weekend starts on Wed night. All the mixed drinks and daiquiris and bar food to boot is killer and soooooo abundant here. And it's good bar food too lol, pretty much resturant quality so it's more irresistable. I have a my b/f's med school party tonight…

I feel your pain freckles. My mom refuses to go walking with me everytime I ask, and yesterday morning she baked biscuits and fried some smoked sausage both of which are my supreme weaknesses. She left the biscuits on the stove for majority of the morning, bc she feels like " I need to eat something." I eat every three…

OMG!!! I lost 1lb. I know it is a minute change but I am so excited! My weigh in is on Tuesday, hopefully I will hit my 5 lbs for this challenge. This is my first lb lost using this site and this is only my third day!!!! This is the motivation I need. Going hit the treadmill!

Last night I splurged... I had sushi and ice cream. Came up to 1100 or so cal. The sushi came up to 699 and all I had was one roll and a half of another. I'm going to have to take better care on my fast days. I did exercise more on the fast day though, which is a plus. @larson I am fasting bc that is a part of the eat stop…

Checking in for today.. So far I have had 2 multi viatamins lol. Fast day is today...Water will be my friend until 7:30p or so. It was supposed to be 6:30, but I had a mishap with chik-fila on the drive from Baton Rouge back home. I will say I only at 1 chicken finger and about 5 waffle fries, which made me feel a little…

No I haven't used that yet, but I also haven't really "cooked" either. So far I have been sticking to simple things, which I am sure will get very tiresome very quickly. I am anxious to try out my shrimp pasta recipe to see how mach fat is in it. I'm sure it is a lot because of the half and half that's in it. Thanks for…

Happy Birthday! Brad. I envy your Wendy's
