I eat these too! :) Also, I don't know if anyone else posted this (didn't read through all of the posts) but I slice up strawberries and spray on some fat-free Redi-Whip YUM! Another thing I do is freeze a sugar-free Jello Pudding Cups. Takes about 2hours to freeze all the way through, so it takes a bit of planning...…

I believe I was one of those who actually suggested lots of cardio back on that post you made... I am a pear shape too. When I first started out my chest was a bridal size 8, my waist was a bridal size 10, and my hips were a bridal size 12. I've been doing a ton of cardio in my workouts every week, and now my chest, my…

I would say lots of cardio as well. I am a pear shape too and when I started working out it was pure cardio, and it seemed that I was only losing in my butt and thighs, so I started doing an ab/push-up routine before I do cardio to lose in the arms and stomach. My stomach is now my only problem area because I started…

Oh! I think I forgot to mention this before... I also do a monthly cleansing. Once a month on a weekend, I do a 24hour fast and drink a cup of Senna tea at night so I empty my system out completely. It does wonders for resetting your metabolism for the next month. I personally have noticed a difference in how much I lose…

In the last 30 Days, I've lost 8lbs. I only have 5lbs left till I'm at my ideal weight, so I think it is totally possible :D. I do an intense 2.5 hour work out on Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun, and try to do a nice walk and long stretch period if I have time on the other days. I stay between 1200-1300 calories of healthy foods…

I've lost 35lbs and I eat 1-2 servings of grains a day! I do think that bread helps your body retain weight and thus making it harder to lose weight, but that doesn't mean it is impossible to lose weight while eating it! I make my own bread using Spelt Wheat flour which has 1/3 less gluten in it; since the gluten is what…

I use a Green Tea Fat Metabolism Boosting supplement. I dunno if it actually helps burn fat like it says it does, but it does give you a natural feeling energy boost that I haven't ever been able to get with other energy supplements or drinks. The first time you take it make sure you eat something exactly 30 minutes after…

You will lose boob no matter what, and how fast depends on your particular body and genetics. You will lose more boob if you do chest exercises, or if you do push-ups with your hands wide apart; keep your hands close during push-ups and you'll work more of your triceps and shoulders. I never had much boobage to begin with,…

I agree with him ^ with keeping to the leafy greens, but I personally think a balance is always the best. Cutting one entire food group out of your diet is never good in my opinion.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but they're still not healthy for you. Not all unhealthy things cause obvious adverse effects. Early humans, from the paleolithic era, did not eat peanuts, or other similar beans, because they are poisonous raw, and in large doses. They are made non-poisonous by being roasted. You think you…

Most definately almond! Peanuts are not even nuts! They are in the bean family. Also, if you follow the blood type diet, you will find that peanuts are bad for all blood types to eat. They have harmful lectins in them that affect everyone. All foods have lectins, and they can affect people in all different ways, some are…

Approx. 7.75lbs... that's based off of my 1.8lb avg weight loss per week. I fluctuate between 1.5lb and about 2.1lbs of weight loss per week. I lost more in the first month than the second month... It is generally that way because you are starting to gain muscle (given you are doing exercise) which adds on weight and…

Consistency. If you decide to chill out one day and not go to the gym, then make sure you go the next day and not take more than 2 days of relaxation a week. Also, If you cheat on your diet, make sure you don't again for the rest of the week. I always allow one day out of the week to go off my diet... but when I say "go…

Met an awesome guy, became really happy/comfortable, started eating more and doing less active things, gained 23 lbs over 4 years. (I'm a happy eater, not a depressed eater... counter-intuitive huh?) LOL
