hell no. like someone else said, after a week, maybe. but definitely not during.

bump! also i have one small picture in my profile pic! <---

check out skinnytaste and emilybites... you may have to modify some for GF but they're both great starting points

I'm 5'7" and my current weight is 132. my goal weight was 135, from 147 which i hit in the almost last year (april) here on mfp. i think i'm pretty much at my goal weight, but i definitely need to get rid of my jiggly stomach still and my legs could use some work. i'm surprised to see a lot of people answering in the low…

I was overweight until my early 20's, when I started losing weight. I've gone from 210ish to 135-140ish (I am 5'7"), so I've lost around 70lbs. The only weight I've re-gained is that normal 5-10lb flexibility sometimes (especially as a woman). In fact, I've decreased every year. This is the lowest weight I've ever been in…

this literally made me tear up to read! congratulations! what an amazing accomplishment! you are an inspiration to others, especially your daughter! keep up the hard work!!!

girl, i hear you. i have had SUCH a hard time giving up my diet coke. but the facts are simple- it was hindering my weight loss. now, i allow myself 1 diet soda a week, as a treat. and it's usually on a sunday. during the week i drink a lot of sparkling water with different things mixed in-- mint, lemons, cucumbers, etc.…

married 1 year next month!

we were dating 2 years, 4 months when he proposed. i was 26, he was 31. we were engaged for exactly a year, we are about to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary next month!

5'7", 141 lbs, anywhere from a two to a six depending on the store

girl you look fantastic! what a difference! keep it up!!

bump

i'm in the same boat, sadly :( i've lost 70 lbs and no matter what weight i lose, my double gut doesn't leave. i HATE it. my sisters have the exact same thing, too so i'm convinced it's genetic. in anycase, i feel like mine is never going away without surgery but i sure as heck keep trying!!

you look fantastic girl! my starting weight was about the same as yours-- i've maintained my weight and steadily (SLOWLY) lost more over the last 5 years now... so trust me, you aren't going back! you can do this is if i can! you're incredible!!

okay, so i think i'm taking the plunge and adding more calories. a little background info: i've lost 70lbs SLOWLY over the past few years. i'm no longer overweight, just jiggly!! i'm looking to tone up, especially in my stomach which is where i've kept the remaining part of my weight no matter what i do. i'm willing to…

so i'm on level 2 day 6... have to modify some of the plank moves because my ankle has been bothering me. i'm noticing that i'm having an easier time doing most of the moves like the v-fly's, but i'm kinda feeling discouraged because i'm not seeing much of a difference in my body at all. i know most people have said they…

I'm sorry you're feeling this way! It's frustrating when you're trying and not seeing the results you need. I think it's great you're keeping a picture with you to keep you motivated, this can definitely help with the mental aspect. First I think it's important to remember that you didn't gain all of this weight overnight,…

i use it FOR EVERYTHING. last night i was craving blue cheese dressing. instead of wasting calories and fat, i took plain greek yogurt, threw in some lemon juice, hot sauce, low-fat blue cheese, and voila. made a delicious buffalo blue cheese that i threw on some chicken breast and baked in the oven. literally the other…

that is an amazing accomplishment, what is most important is you set your mind to it and you did it. you should be very proud of yourself! half the battle is our own mentality that we "can't" do something-- remember that you ran this 2 miles straight next time you want to give up! and you will get faster if you keep it up!…

this is absolutely true. i used to do hair. and i used to be the same way-- my hair was so oily after like 1 day. now i wash my hair once every 2-3 days... and definitely not after i workout! i just let it air dry then throw some dry shampoo in, or get it damp and blow dry it again. but it's definitely true that your hair…

i am following this convo cait!- because i'm in the exact same boat! 5'7", i've lost 4 lbs, and i'm doing 1200/day. granted i am already down to 143, however, i've ben around this weight, never topping out more than 149 over the last 2 years or so--- and that was after being 210+ to start. keep me posted on how this is…

hi all! well today will be my 7th day of this challenge, my 6th day on the shred (i rested the day after day 5). i even took it on the road with me to vegas this week when i traveled for work and did it 2 mornings in my hotel room! i can honestly say that yesterday i was very surprised to notice that even though i'm only…

I think we'd be able to give you a better direction if we could see you food diary! Based just on what I'm reading my guess is that you're either over or under on your calories. Definitely drink a TON of water, that will help move the weight. And above everything else, don't become frustrated! 30lbs is a lot! Also, are you…

surprisingly enough, the thing that hurts the most is my calves. i've only finished day 5 yesterday, today is my "break" before i go on to day 6 tomorrow. i was going to do 10 days each level but thinking about upping it to level 2 a bit sooner. so far i haven't really noticed anything different as far as losing weight or…

hmmm interesting, i am about the same stats as you and i'm only eating 1200 a day, working out around 250-400 off a day and trying not to eat them all back... maybe i should be eating more too. in anycase, i've been back on MFP for about 2 weeks and i've lost 3lbs. just goes to show you everyone is different! i agree with…

agree, this is my first time going through it and my plan is to do 10 days each level, resting after every 5 days. for example, today was my 5th day of level 1 so tomorrow i will rest from the dvd, but still plan to do some type of activity such as jogging or taking my dogs on a long walk. so far i've felt fine, definitely…

it's funny you say that because the 2 days i've been doing it the bottoms of my feet have been KILLING ME and i just got brand new running shoes last week that were professionaly fitted. i actually took mine off halfway through today. i am on hardwood as well, so it sounds like that might be the problem. i will keep…

over the last year i've been drinking a lot more green tea! since coming back to MFP a few weeks ago, i'm really trying to drink it. i will admit i am a diet coke additct but have successfully weaned myself down to 1 can a week, on sunday's as a treat. so i've tried a LOT of green teas! i drink them without anything in…

i did level 1 day 1 this morning and i'm feeling great... i think it's because i've been doing some pretty intense cardio the past 2 weeks! i remember starting it last summer and i did it for like 3 days then never used it again, haha, and thought it was so hard! call me crazy but i might actually do another round of level…

i started this morning, anyone here can feel free to add me!! :bigsmile: i need all the motivation i can get!
