I guess we mostly have the same idea- I put on the dvd then go get dressed, get my weights, etc! lol

Did days 1-4 of the shred, missed yesterday because I was literally out of my house ALL day. Trying to get the energy to do it now before I start my day. I HATE her voice though. I put it on mute. :/

Just finished D3W1! Sad but this is so far the longest I've stayed with it! lol

Whew! You guys are feisty! I love it! Making me feel better already!! :)

AWESOME! I saw a post about it but it was people who had already started. I started yesterday and would love motivation from people who are working on it, too!

I make the effort to write a list of what I put in a recipe as I prepare it. Then, when I get a chance, I plug it into MFP and save it.

I'm great with plain coffee but with skim milk over ice, I enjoy it as well. You can buy some sugar free syrups or adding cinnamon or vanilla extract. You can blend some ice cubes with whatever you make to give it that thick iced frappucino consistency. I know a few people here sometimes mix protein powder with their…

Back atcha!

You look fantastic! Great work! Love that you took the photos with your son! :)

Also at 1200 calories per day and would LOVE more 1200 calorie friends! My life savers are Thomas' 1/3 Fiber English muffins- 8 grams of fiber and only 100 calories. and Arnold's Sandwich thins- they're lower in fiber though.

Ooh! Very possible what I read was for it being in the can! :)

I'm not sure why you're so incredibly hostile. People who are on here have obviously taken a step. I don't think most people (although there are some) blame anything other than themselves for their weight gain. I just really feel the tone of your post is incredibly condescending and not at all cognizant of what it's like…

I 100% know how you feel but just be careful- Diet Coke isn't meant to be heated. I'm not sure if it's different in baking though!

I know exactly how you feel and have had the same 10 pounds gained and lost a few times recently. We just have to keep our chins up and keep going. Eventually you'll break through a lose a little more!

lol (can you tell I love my snacks) also: Vitatops Velvety Chocolate muffins! 90 calories and sososososos delicious and chocolately. They're in the frozen food aisle! Sometimes I'll add a sugar free chocolate pudding or a little fat free cool whip with a strawberry or two

My favorites: POPCHIPS! 22 chips for 120 calories and they're delicious! Haven't found a flavor I don't like. Plain Sabra hummus has about 70 calories for two tablespoons- I like to eat it with fresh veggies- it's very filling POPCORN! Newman's Own has a no-salt added popcorn that is 100 calories for around 3 cups. I add…

Hmmm...you do weigh a lot less than I do though, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Ah! Awesome to know! I saw the WII Hula Hoop on there, so I'll probably just use that! Thanks! :)

Right? I used to use a weighted hoop at the gym and it's just wayyyyy more fun. I get bored so easily with other stuff!

I enjoy pretty much any veggie (especially green beans!) with a little extra virgin olive oil (or I Can't Believe it's not Butter! spray), garlic and red pepper flakes.

Yup. It was an entirely different feeling than a hangover and I didn't drink last night!

One was fast food, the other wasn't

Yep. I'm trying SO hard not to indulge. The week before I am STARVING. Now it's the week of, and I'm barely hungry at all.

I'm workin' on it! But they just really took me by surprise tonight! haha :)

Yeah, I'm definitely not quite ready to go full swing into exercise just yet! I'm really just working on diet and throwing in a little bit on the elliptical or extra walking here and there

I'm not! At least if I was, I'd have a good reason to be covered in stretch marks!

Dress pants are the WORST!!!! That is awesome, awesome, awesome that they're comfy and fitting well! You're doing a great job! :)

Use the BMR calculator on here, figure that out and then eat that many calories. You'll maintain your weight.

Honestly, I've heard a lot of conflicting reports about the time you eat and weight gain. Don't feel bad! You have to eat! hah

Stretch marks are pretty much there to stay, although they do fade. You can buy pure cocoa butter and use it religiously and that definitely helps. As far as cellulite goes, I noticed that a lot of it is gone from the back of my legs after I lost this chunk of weight.
