Great job Damien. I've told so many people about this site as well and I know it's really helped me keep better track of what I'm eating as well as my sodium intake which I never paid much attention too before.

Congrats!!! It's great when you not only fit into clothes that didn't fit before but now they are dropping of f of you. Great job and keep up the good work. :happy:

Girl don't feel bad. Push ups are tough and at least you are trying to do them so be proud of yourself for that. Believe me I started out the same way and for the longest time I just stuck with the girly push ups but I feel so much stronger now that I do the regular push ups. Push ups will definately help with upper body…

Hello: There was a thread that was started specifically for women who lift on MFP called Buff in the Buff:women's bodybuilding so you might get help there if you look under search. Here are some websites that may be helpful. www.nerdfitness.com which has a beginner workout plan, also stronglifts.com or…

Congrats on reaching the halfway mark to your goal. It's great that you were able to find something to help you stay on track and keep motivated, I wish you the best of luck getting to your goal weight, :happy:

It's so much easier for me to exercise in the morning and I feel so accomplished and energized afterwards. I find the longer I put it off the less likely I will actually get it done.

Hello: Basically the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago and for me it was water retention. I couldn't understand how I gained when I had such a great week and then I read a post sent in by someone titled "Maintanance-how is this possible" (you can look up this up under search and see MFP members responses). The main…

Welcome to MFP. This site is really great and it can become addictive in a good way! :happy:

There are also other milk alternatives such as rice milk, oat milk and hemp milk. Cashew butter is also very yummy. Almond and cashew butter are cheaper to get in bulk if you can then in the jars and if you have a food processor you can make your own. I can't drink cows milk and I don't like soy so I usually use brown rice…

Congrats. I can see the difference in your waist and arms. :smile:

Welcome to Insanity!!! I bought a heart rate monitor with a chest strap before I started and I found it worked well for me because the intensity each person works out at is different so even if I gave you a number it wouldn't necessarily reflect what you burned. One of the popular brands is polar. I use a timex and you can…

Hello: You can check out the following websites for an assortment of vegetarian recipes: www.fatfreevegan.com and www.vegetariantimes.com

I agree it does sound like an allergic reaction to either something your eating or a product your using. I also suffer from rashes which is from Excema. I went to the dermatologist and the stuff she gave me helped with the itching but didn't take away the rash. Not sure if this is what you have. I usually get the rashes on…

I read once in a book about natural weight loss secrets that if you take raw apple cider vinegar before each meal it will help you burn stored food fat. Not sure if it works or not though.

Thanks for the information. I will check this out for sure. :smile:

Thanks for the information Pzero. I will definately be checking out some of the sites you mentioned. Another great site for recipes is fatfreevegan.com. There is a blog with the site and there are great pictures of each dish to go along with the recipes. Nutrition information is also included for most if not all of the…

Hi Mayan Girl I hear you with the healthy eating. I just recently became a vegetarian a few months ago and I feel so much healthier and vibrant. I love almond and rice milk and I am enjoying vegetables again when I hardly ate them before. I don't miss meat at all. I still have eggs and some dairy because I won't be giving…

Great advice. Best thing to do is get a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. That's the best way to know how many calories you are really burning. The amount you average from MFP may be higher or lower than what you are really burning. I use an HRM with my Insanity workout and even doing the same routine I don't burn the…

Thanks for posting this question you actually helped me out when I read the advice you received from other MFP members. Today was my weigh in day and I weighed myself earlier in the week just to see if I was on track and I weighed in more today then mid week!!! I couldn't understand why until I saw the answers about sodium…

There's a great site you can check out called fatfreevegan.com I just became a vegetarian myself and found some great recipes on this site. I usually eat slow cooked oatmeal or brown rice cereal for breakfast and you can add fruits or applesauce to sweeten them. I add in plain whey protein and one tbs of honey or stevia to…

Hi abcollins 1355 I've basically been sticking with cardio but I know I need to incorporate weights. I am hoping to start back at the gym next month and want to work on upper body strength, strengthening my back, core and toning my legs and calves. Any advice on how to go about this properly since I'm a beginner (avoided…

Thanks for posting this I will check it out. I don't know a lot about weight training but I know I need to incorporate strength training and I'm hoping to join a gym by next month.

Great job. Pictures really do help to remind us of the progress we have made. Keep up the good work and much success on reaching your goal by your B-day.

I have a timex with a chest strap which is working great for me. The most popular brand is Polar. I got one prior to starting the Insanity workout and I'm so glad I did because I was able to keep track of the exact calories burned during each workout and then umber is never the same even when I do the same workout later on…

Congrats !!! Thanks for sharing your story with us it was truely inspirational. May God continue to be the guiding force in your journey.

I take New Chapters Organic Every Woman's Once Daily and it's the best one I've used thus far
