Yeah

Has anyone else tried calorie cycling? Does it work overall?

I think she's right to an extent. Granted, as with anything else, it is possible to take her junk food crusade too far. There's nothing wrong with being civil, and she'd probably get a much better response from the community at large if she were. Instead of yelling and e-mailing, since she's the parent with the problem,…

You seriously look like a whole new person! You look absolutely wonderful! Congratulations!!!:flowerforyou:

Wow! Thanks for the reply! I'm not eating 1200 calories because I'm trying to lose weight quicker. I'm really not. I learned that lesson the hard way a few years back. I'm eating that few calories because I genuinely have no apetite whatsoever. But thank you so much for the advice! I'm going to try to cram a few more down…

The Cheesecake = The Devil. Seriously. If we had it in the house, I'd be like the Golden Girls, munching on it at all hours of the day. Stay strong! Cheesecake is awful for you but it's so yummy. To keep from eating stuff like that, I picture what I want to look like in a swimsuit versus what I look like now (Shamu...My…

I would love to but I was told to take it easy on my knee and gradually work my way up to running by the beginning of July by my doctor. But I am excited about it.:bigsmile:

I'm going to start it in the beginning of July. How effective is it?

Recently, I've had to go to several places that do not offer nutritional values in the restauraunt. Most places do not have any literature containing nutritional values or calorie counts. When I found myself in that situation, I usually ordered some a salad with vinegar dressing or grilled chicken with some kind of…

Your in-laws need to be slapped around a bit. Being healthy and active is much more important than being skinny. If you're happy with yourself, then their pettiness should seem even more pathetic. It's more than how you look. I hate to be cliche, but what's on the inside matters more in this life than anything on the…

Yes, two ounces of spaghetti is about one cup (or eight ounces, depending on how you measure). This question drove me absolutely insane when I first started dieting. But I found a fantastic webpage that helped me. I'm pretty sure I know more about pasta than I will ever need to know. It has something about measuring pasta…

It really is a fantastic website, and my husband said the same thing until I got him to join. Now he's just as addicted as I am! Instead of fighting about MFP, we fight over the computer to check MFP.:noway:

You know you're skinny when you have room for more than your boobs in your bra!

Roller Blades = The Devil. Seriously. But congrats on trying something new! That's always the hardest part for me.

I've been doing a lot of circut training and it's wearing me out, although I think I may do a few pushups or something. Thanks for the advice!

I've been losing pounds and inches. I saw something that stated that if you're bigger, you'll lose weight rather quickly but inches not as quickly. However, if you're smaller, you lose inches more often. That could be a total load of crap, but based on what I'm seeing with my results, it seems to be true.

Please don't take them. For your health. Just don't do it. I'm not saying this as a person who has had no experience with diet pills. I started with Stacker 3 (when it had ephedra), then went to Stacker 2, which didn't work. After that followed Anoretix, Slim-Quick, Hydroxycut, Stackers, Lipo-6, FatBlaster, and Dexitrim. I…

Holy frick, those are like the Fort Knox of sports bras. I am so getting one. Thanks for the info!

You've lost 110 pounds! That's absolutely fantastic! if you only have 15 left, you'll knock that out in no time (although those last few aren't the easiest to lose, I understand). Congrats on your weight loss and congrats on shaving that much time off of your run! Keep up the fantastic work!

I got to the point where I was going insane, weighing myself every day and then being furious when there was no change, or god forbid, a gain. Finally, my husband hid the scales and only let me use them once a week until I got into the habit of not getting on there all of the time. Try locking them up. Hiding them.…

I finished on the first day, but I probably shouldn't have. God, I was ridiculously sore. Even if you can't finish, keep your feet moving to keep up your heart rate so you can get some decent cardio at least. By the way, I always remembered Jumping Jacks to be easy when I was a kid. Now, my boobs hit me in the face. It's…

College sucks. Go to www.slim-fast.com and they have some pretty good recipes, as well as www.eatingwell.com, www.recipezaar.com, and www.sparkpeople.com

I knew that I wasn't looking so hot, but I had my husband take a picture of me from the front and the side in order to document how much weight I had lost, and yeah. It was depressing. I was MUCH MUCH bigger than I thought I ever was. It was fairly depressing, yet incredibly motivating. Then I sent that image to…

I hadn't thought of that. Do you reccommend any protein shake brand in particular?

Are 4 slices included with the 266 calories or just 2? (I guess the easiest way to ask that would be what's the serving size).

Congratulations! Thanks for showing, yet again, what hard work and exercise can do for you if you keep at it! You must be so proud! Celebrate and buy yourself a new dress or something!:bigsmile:

It's been incredibly (as in shockingly) accurate for me so far. I was relatively surprised about it.

I had that happen to me last year. It was a guy (surprise). To make things worse, it was someone that I knew and he was doing it just to be mean. I use that every day as incentive to get out there and bust my *kitten* and make a change. One time a group of girls that I had gone to high school with said "Have you seen…

I've been doing a combination of the Slim-Fast program and a few other things (a shake is all that I can stomach in the morning) and have seen some success with it. Your body will go into a bit of shock when you start because you will be restricting your calories so severely compared to what you normally eat, but if you…

Jillian Michaels is an evil shrew and I've been sore in places on my body that I didn't know even existed. I freaking love it. As far as results, I'm fairly early in (still on level 1), but I've noticed a definite increase in my endurance and strength over the past two weeks, not to mention that my arms (beneath the fat)…
