In no particular order: Dexter True Blood Breaking Bad 90210 (the original, not the remake) American Horror Story Lost Sopranos and yes that's 7 because I can't pick 5 I also don't understand how anybody watches and enjoys Modern Family but that's another story. *Edit* Oh, forgot Family Guy too so that's 8 favorites

I love the fact you included the .75" that's awesome.

thanks for this, I love it being 5'2" I can relate to almost this entire list. my 3 favorite are probably the "feet don't touch the floor thing" when sitting on something (even toilets sometimes!), "mentally preparing to sit on a bar stool" (and get off for that matter), and "not being able to see the hood of your car…

Also, wanted to mention, the body burns carbs before fats, and proteins. So if you are eating a large quantity of simple carbs, your body will burn those first during exercise, then move on to the fat only when it runs out of carbs to burn. So no, carbs aren't "bad" if you don't eat a lot of simple carbs. But if you are…

no but she said she eats vegetables, or a light meal for dinner, and gave us a breakdown of what she usually eats. Based on what she told us, she's not eating nearly enough, so of course she's at a plateau. Her body is starving for food.

You aren't eating enough, you are starving your body if you have a light snack for dinner.

It is hilarious when my husband tries to guess a woman's weight (or even my own) he has absolutely no clue. My one friend is pretty heavy - I'd guess she is about 230 or so (based on her height, and how much I weighed at my heaviest compared to her).. he thinks she is 350 lbs.

did you ever end up doing it? I just did it this week, today is day 5, looks like I've lost at least 4 to 5 lbs so far, hoping for at least 6 or 7. I don't know that I Plan on going into Phase 2 though, just seems too restrictive to me that you can't eat a potato or rice with meat.

more cardio!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! I bought one of these yesterday... it is soooooooooo good. Totally tastes like a decadent dessert and not yogurt. definitely tastes similar to frosting, and even the consistency is like frosting. I've had chobani and fage Greek yogurt..and recently tried the Oikos fruit on the bottom…

No that I support GC, but you can get it pure 100% GC, no additives or fillers, just the extract.

GC did the exact opposite to me as what it is "supposed" to do. I took it for a week - I didn't feel any positive effects whatsoever. My appetite was exactly the same, I had the same amount of energy as normal. On the other hand, they made me EXTREMELY thirsty, to the point that it was unquenchable, and giving me a sore…

My sister took it, had not side effects, lost 4 lbs in a week, and then gained it back the next week. She stopped taking it. I took it for a week - iit made me VERY VERY thirsty constantly - it was insatiable thirst. And gave me a VERY bad headache. I stopped taking it, it took 3 days for the headache to go away after I…

Great, now just make sure to net 1550 and you should see a change! Good luck!

You only have 8 lbs left to your goal, so that right there makes it harder. MFP has you set to 1310, but at what rate of weight loss? If you have it set to anything higher than .5 lbs per week, then that number is too low. Also, that is the number you should be netting AFTER exercise. Eat back all of your exercise…

You are not eating nearly enough. Even at 1200 calories per day, that should be a total of netting 8400 calories in 7 days (which I still think is way too low for most people). You only netted 7376 total for the week, which is like an average of 1050 per day - again, way too low. I'm guessing you should probably be netting…

Unless I were homeless, no. $7.25/hr wouldn't pay for diddly squat for an adult.

I agree 100%, except for the milk, some people can't drink whole milk (myself included). Aside from whatever you consider your "dinner" I don't see one MEAL in your meal plan. I eat 10 times more food than this for the entire day, and my calorie goal is 1550.

What does this even mean? You don't have to consistently eat the same number of calories every day in order to successfuly lose weight. You simply need to eat at a deficit - usually for the week - although not everybody loses weight like that. I purposely fluctuate my calories on a daily basis, so I am NEVER consistently…

So I'm not crazy - I experienced a very bad dry mouth - I couldn't stand it after a week and gave up.

They don't claim that this helps you lose tons of weight fast. They claim that it may help reduce cravings of fatty foods. It is also not a weight loss supplement, it is simply an extract from Tamarind - a natural substance. I personally tried 75% HCA pure extract, and I didn't experience lower cravings. It also gave me a…

I actually find plain Fage to be extremely tart.

Is this definitely the Greek version or the regular version? I see you said 12 g of protein, and that's the Greek one, but then you said 10g of sugar, and that's the regular one. The Greek version only has 7g of sugar. Same calories in both and 0 fat in both. Which one tastes like icing??

I just looked online and it says 7g sugar, not 10. Does the container say 10?

I totally agree about not losing weight too fast. I didn't experience all of the physical things you did (maybe my situation wasn't as extreme), but here is my story: About 12 years ago, I followed Weight Watchers and managed to lose 72 lbs in just about a year. I was only tracking weight watchers points, never calories,…

congrats are starting over! But I have to ask, you plan on losing 20 lbs in less than 2 months? You don't appear to be obese, I'd say that is an unhealthy goal.

first thing I notice is that you said you are 5'6 and currently 135 lbs. Exactly what is your goal weight? I am 5'2 and I know that 135 is the top of my healthy weight range, and my current goal weight. I'm guessing at 5'6, 135 lbs would be a pretty low weight to begin with, so I'm curious what your goal weight is, and…
