you need muscle to burn fat. do you think you look more tone? do you find your strength getting better? you are losing which is great and likely your shape is changing. we are our own worst critics so give yourself a break and keep up the hard work

I love the show but Scottie annoys me greatly. I noticed while working at Sea World SD that often many families were the source or major contributor to their weight and eating habits (i mean that in both positive and negative ways). Short of Tanisha (my favorite because she is so darn cute) i feel like many of these kids…

hi ladies, I am not pregnant yet but hoping to join y'all before Christmas. I was wondering about foods and diets. I have been reading two books (what to expect and the girlfriend's guide) and neither answer thoroughly. I am wondering about the calories to consume if i am eating nutrient dense foods. Often i get full way…

you should talk to your doctor. This may be your normal and your body is fine with it but you should establish a documented baseline before you are ever hospitalized. In the hospital, three days with out a bowel movement is required to take further actions such as laxatives or enemas and even more invasive procedures and…

Any friend that can be that rude to you needs to be called out. Depending on her reaction then decide if you have the time and energy to work on that friendship. Y'all are in different places, with you having a family and her just getting engaged. Perhaps, for now, the friendship has run it's course. That doesn't mean you…

great job! I remember when mine came back into the normal range. It was great to know i decreased my risk of diseases.

it isn't great for you not only for water but for long term health issues. that being said it is hard to cut it out also. shop smart (ie i even pay more for starkist canned tuna because the sodium is better for me then the market brand). I also avoid processed whenever possible and don't double and triple up in a single…

i can say i have one of the original shape ups extra thick soles and I wouldn't work out hard in them. I swear by their support and how great my feet and back feel after working at the hospital, but i feel like doing 30ds would cost me my ankle in them. for harder work outs i would suggest sticking to the lower platform

bump. I'm in the same boat. I have about 20 pounds to go and hope to be trying soon. I adjusted my focus from the scale to consisant work outs. I figure if I am already doing 30ds, running 2 to 3 miles daily I can keep it up until it's not safe to do. Most doctors say you can maintain your work outs but not increase them…

Eating healthy is the best way to bring cholesterol down. Also try increasing your fiber as it assists with elimination.

I've heard the research and it may help some but not enough to make dramatic results. also watch out for spicy sauces because many are high in sodium and can offset the benefits of the capsicum.

here you are putting fat and sodium head to head with this example. Usually i would try to do lower sodium, but trading that for processed fats has me a little perplexed. Guess that's why i go for veggies on my pizza now. of the two i would guess lower fat because with enough water you can off set the sodium in a day or…

I don't know much about the easy tone except they are cuter than my sketchers that i love and swear by. I have 2 pairs of shape ups and want to buy a third pair asap. I love them for the comfort. I don't know if they toned my legs at all but I love how energized my feet feel at the end of the day and how my back doesn't…

we all struggle. some days I go off plan and over eat. I travel and try not to force my diet on my family and as a result i'll have whole weekends off. this is a life long process so accept that you can't be perfect every time. learn from your mistakes and today is a new day.

the above posts are true. Also are you drinking water and getting lots of fiber. both help you have a full feeling. If i eat really healthy foods and fresh fruits and veggies I struggle to even get up to 1200 calories. it took awhile to find that balance but now i almost struggle to the other way

i looked for you and saw nothing also. Perhaps just call it a wash and don't eat there too often. I know they are not grand for nutrition but sometimes it's just nice to indulge

i sub it in most recipes that call for beef. most of the time i will up the spices a little but it works in everything just cook slightly longer. the current obsession in my house is using ground turkey over a salad for me and nachos for da hubby. just add taco seasoning and if you know how use spices not pre mixed and…

I agree. I tried the eating super well when i went out and i missed out and still went over. now i enjoy it (the hubby helps by splitting with me). If you want pack up half your order to be leftovers before you start eating and that cuts the calories in half.

same questions as above. You look great! how tall are you and how long did it take you? Most importantly what did you do? awesome job! lol never mind you just replied to them. great job!

It depends. I count days as my days. for instance, if i were working the night shift and sleeping during the day, I'd rather log my 24 hour schedule as it reflects in my life and habits instead of caring if it were Tuesday or Wednesday. To help keep it strait till i got my tracking down i'd also make notes in the section…

have you checked your iron. you could be anemic which is indicated by exhaustion. try taking a prenatal multivitamin and see if it improves. take it since it had higher concentrations of iron.

I struggle with that balance too. I recently figured out that no alcohol means i stay on track better. I know that sounds dumb but if i have liquid calories, I also tend to eat more. My husband and I are 25 now and we need to change our lifestyle so as a result the drinking is stopping. do what ever you think is best but…

i drink more water and if needed a larger snack with an added walk in the evening

I can't speak for you but for myself, my weigh in differs by a few pounds if i eat late verses early. I have just started trying to stay out of the kitchen after 7 pm so i can not say if it is true weight loss or if i am just more empty in the morning when i weigh in.

hang in there. there is so many things that they have to rule out that it is rarely a quick process. next time you are at your doctors ask him about your activity level and what you can do safely while waiting for results. also keep aspirin with you always since it is credited with being the single most life saving drug…

the shot is called deprovera (depo) and it can result in gains also. if you just had it put in it may take your body up to 6 months to get adjusted but if you can't live with or are worried about the side effects call your doctor and get their opinion.

I have big enough boobs to hate cardio but still smaller then a lot of folks replies. I found a few things that helped me though. Multiple layers sometimes including my regular underwire to just add the pressure to keep the girls in place. Walmart has some that I just discovered that i love, but i don't expect them to last…

Hi. I'm in the same boat as you. I could have reached my goal if i could be consistent, but i'm not so it takes so much longer and even worse i wonder if i can't get my habits to stick how long before I am back a step one again. hang in there and you'll find a way to get it right

you need to eat more. Your body has been through a ton of stress in recent months and it needs resources to heal from the inside out. The weights you mentioned, are they all the same time of day? Are you breast feeding? You are likely burning more calories then you account for and while it is great to see the weight coming…
