I have Cize and I love it. Haven't been able to do it much lately (had shoulder surgery) but you are working on making sure you are getting the steps right and by the end you are sweating like crazy!!!

yeah, I am going to start working on the strengthening of the lowerbody...dead lifts... that's with weight? I'm on a no lifting restriction until the 2nd week of July then hopefully I get to move up to 5#. whoo hoo.

I am doing 4 High days 2 low days with the reset day being Sunday. I am following Chris Powell's Extreme Plan. I want to lose 70 lbs total (to be under 200) but my short term goal is 30# by end of July. That will put me at the weight I was when I got married 14 years ago. My struggle is not the food - once I find a meal…

how do you figure out what your carbs/proteins should be? I just started after reading the book Extreme Transformations...

I started using cize last week, I am totally out of shape and I haven't been able to make it to the end, but it's getting easier and I get farther each day, but even after 15 minutes I'm sweating like crazy.... It doesn't even feel like exercise.

thanks for posting. I weigh my food and measure. But I did not know you weigh meat raw. so I learned something. thanks.

I don't WANT I am GOING to lose 60 pounds. well 55 more...lost 5 so far this week :wink: I need friends that aren't these skinny things to begin with... "oh I have to lose 10 pounds" really, you need a cheeseburger! anyway.. add me!

I have an appointment with my doctor today to get my thyroid checked. I have many symptoms of hypothyrodism. Trying to see what I can do naturally as I don't like to take medications... but I was losing.. and then maintaining and then gained like 30# in 3 months... so at this point.... I will take medication - on top of…

when I get to that point... I remodel a room in my house. nothing more therapeutic than demolition and painting. so far I have a new bathroom, new kitchen, new livingroom and dining room...my front foyer has been done and now working on the back hallway. LOL. win/win situation if you ask me.

ok ok...WHO started this topic?? I've gotten sucked into it...and frankly haven't gotten ANY work done. I don't watch much TV here lately... (except Duck Dynasty which has sucked me in so DON"T tell me about last night...I recorded it)... Pay if Forward...Obviously when they all came to the house with candles. Raising…

DONT TELL ME!!!!!! I recorded it...SHHHHHHHHHHHH

dang...that sucks... guess that's why she's an ex ;)

Oh my sister's keeper is a good one....

yeah THAT"S the movie...couldn't think of it..... don't worry.... I cried too...every time...and I've seen it like 50 (I am Legend)

OMG yeah!! that episode of MASH got me too

I can't watch those commercials....

Steel Magnolias.... for sure.... At Shelby's funeral when Sally Field's has her monolog. I've seen it a million times.... cry everytime. Marley & Me.... come on!!! Any dog lover cried at that movie! When they buried the dog.... or when you could feel the pain knowing he had to put his dog down.... (I felt that twice last…

I'm waiting. I'm wearing the stretched out undies...LOL. Who sees em? My husband gave me $2000 for a shopping spree (ok a mini one) when I get to where I want to be. Slowly but surely stuff is getting tossed from my closet and its such a good feeling. Hard for someone who hates getting rid of stuff cuz I hate…

AWESOME!

I take Phentermine mixed with Topimax (same as Qsymia which isn't available yet) this was prescribed by my doctor who I see for my weight loss. The phentermine suppresses appetite and teh topimax helps with side effects. It works... and I need it being on a 1200 calorie diet... from what I read the lipotropic injections…

yeah the worst... I stepped on the scale at the weight doctors office.... and it went to 259 (II am 6 ft or 5 ft 12 as I say so its less intimidating) but anyway the nurse says "OMG! you don't look like you weigh that much". that didn't help my ego...at all. but thankfully one blood test figured out was was going on. I'm…

I am 6 ft...but 165 will be a stretch for me. I'm looking at 185

well welcome. Keep in mind the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results so I hope you know this is a lifestyle change and stick to it. That's the hardest reality. Sucks. As we age we don't burn off stuff anymore. I see my 21 year old son eat a whole large pizza at one sitting…

I had my daughter when I was 20 and my son 22. My son is now 23 and I take him to college for his senior year tomorrow. People I went to school with have kids just started college or even lower. I don't regret those choices. However, what bothers me...I was looking for a bathing suit for my upcoming vacation (14 days from…

Thats what I want... to be called a MILF HA HA HA HA HA HA... seriously... though that is one reason.... No to diabeties, NO to high BP NO to a fatty liver. I want to shop and not cry. I want to have sex and look in the mirror and be turned on...not disgusted.

I wanted to send you a personal message because I had some of the same issues... busy life style... eating out was a biggie. HUGE. It was so much easier. But I learned to make better choices. But the biggest thing... at our age (I'm 43) HORMONES and insulin levels. Alot of people here have alot of opinions...eat this...eat…

of course you're going to gain.... work out 101..... muscle weighs more than fat...

Here is my opinion... make a doctor's appt and do a fasting blood sugar. My doctor told me to have only one piece of fruit a day IF I had to have a piece. so there are mixed opinions. The only person who can tell you what sugar your body needs will be your physician because they know your history. You could be diabetic,…

First of all... I DONT want to be diabetic. I want to buy a bra in the Victoria Secret STORE and not just online because my size (40DD) doesn't fit their "image". I can buy them... just online... I want to buy a bathing suit without a skirt because thats the only thing in my size... or that looks like something my…

the proper thing to do is change the sheets on your bed and clean your room and YOU sleep on the air matress or in the tent
