  • I had a walking buddy but she had plastic surgery so my goal now is to look as good as her before she recovers without having to spend 10k!
  • I guess I'll just keep a hooping thread for myself here, LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg8H49XIvHo My latest vid with my dreads in - - for some reason I love my hooping so much more with dreads. Silly but I feel so magical with them in!
  • I just saw no one responded to this! It does make sense to me that you may have to eat a very low amount of calories to lose. I know elderly people eat very little to get by (70+ years). If you eat nutritionally-dense foods and supplement with the 90 essential vitamins and minerals (try beyond tangy tangerine by youngevity…
  • i throw it back in the pan to burn it clean then eat away!
  • Post your "activity levels" in here and it should give an accurate account of your calories burned in a day: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/
  • If you have the space I waist hoop with a medium-weight hoop for awhile and it helps get in a few quick calories - however it does spin at kid head height so there's one major drawback :P
  • If you can walk for 2 hours - walking is great for working out and losing weight.
  • I'm in too! Another Halloween without candy! I'm going to jog though so I can have some pumpkin pie :P
  • If I don't restrict myself either caloricly (if that's a word) or some other way I will splurge for sure! I like some of your responses that it may actually be beneficial! I definitely follow a rotation of diets, not that I'm only doing one at a time. I almost see it as "try this then cleanse" over and over... I was…
  • I aim for 1200 and usually make it, but I do eat around 1500 and workout 300cals a day.. so not sure if that is 1500 or 1200 Over the past 2 weeks I haven't gone down at all and its very discouraging so I tried to mix things up by overeating for a day, ahha... I guess I j ust wanted to feel over "full" for once to…
  • I've been on a 1200 cal diet too but eating poorly (but under cals), stuck at same weight for almost 2 weeks now! I tried doing some intense workouts to push things along but of course that made the scale go up since my muscles retained water. Now I am going to try what I did to get from 158-155, which is a single 6-apple…
  • lately? beer, fudge, pizza... then I don't eat anything else and exercise it all off until the next day. i know, i know.... hahah... this was only the past few days of me trying to maintain a 1200 calorie while also enjoying the foods I REALLY should not be eating! What I just bought from the store for the next few days,…
  • I've heard the entire human body replaces the cells every 7 years. That being said skin cells change every 2-3 weeks. Of course this does not mean that your body will eat away the extra skin, but it will not be there forever, I guarantee you that. Make sure you keep your body hydrated, brush your skin with a body brush or…
  • I'm in the same boat! I added you. Cosplay always allured me as a younger person since I like community, boys, and games... seemed like a fun experience - I just stuck to LAN parties. Now I'm a big time hula hooper and momma. aptly indicated in my username ! When it comes to weight I feel for some reason if I can overcome…
  • I was looking at the keto diet until a few days in I was soooo tired, backed up (plumbing) and was reading that it will be like this for at least 2 weeks. I was switching from a VLCD and felt that didn't give me enough protein so thought since it was already a low carb diet that it would be an easy switch over and that my…
  • I relate to this a lot and I really don't think you'll find someone who is completely "sober" from sugar since it is all around us all the time. Even a monthly snack would be considered cheating if it were an addiction. Which is why I second that it cannot be called an addiction. I call it a craving because that is what it…
  • I just lost 10 pounds doing the ASAP diet which is very very similar to this diet (low/no carbs but also has 6 oz. protein max daily. It sort of follows the HCG protocols which I find too restrictive (500 cals recommended) I have a friend doing low carb and I'd like to support her (and we can make dinners together!) and I…
  • I went to the desert and didn't drink enough water, - guess what! ? I lost 8 pounds! I really do think that those only help you lose water weight. Maybe if you stayed wrapped up for 3 days you'd lose a pound?
  • Why no diet soda: aspartame makes you hungrier and damages DNA replication. And that means The Big C, Cancer. No thanks! caffeine/sodium make you lose water faster and thereby you gain water weight Why no carbonation 30 minutes before eating: bubbles in stomach impede nutrient absorption when it makes it through into your…
  • I have been there before! Working out made me hungry and my muscle mass expanded and my clothes got tighter! And to make matters worse I was eating extra because I thought "I just ran, I can eat a half a box of oreos" WRONG After you get "bigger" you have to keep working out and after a month (if you're not eating the…
  • Are you referring to an uncooked yellow in general? Apparently they are way better for you than cooked. I don't see why it would make a difference but I guess the protein structure dies when its cooked so better to eat it raw ?? No thanks! I like poached!
  • I have a coffee cart and am always making up new recipes for it! Some of our best sellers include Mango Madness and Berry Blast. Its really about having a base that works then just add whatever you're feeling like Base we use: Fill cup you want to use with ice, pour it into blender add about 1/2 cup of preferred fruit…
  • *does dance.. Another 5 down! I'm so close to 140 I can feel it! Since I've only been under 155 a handful of weeks in my life I already feel far skinnier than I ever have. I know every pound after this will be extremely motivating. What are the plateaus ya'll hit after 155?? I have strong, small, dense legs and an unruly…
  • That's awesome! Looks like you're at one of those colorful marathon in your pictures?? A fast jog used to be my best way to slim up fast. Wish I had the ankles for it still.
  • I love this one in particular, and has a TON of added vits/minerals: http://www.fatsecret.com/Diary.aspx?pa=fjrd&rid=2937425 Its Youngevity: Slender FX shake
  • hahaha, exactly how i feel! I weighed my daughter on a baby scale and found out it is weighing me at more
  • This morning I got a range between 150 to 165. This thing is going back to the store.
  • The cops are not meant to keep people from taking a legal product that makes them eat less. It is not FDA verified (for weight loss) but it is FDA approved= " those that meet certain conditions set by FDA can be marketed." (http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm281333.htm) The use of HCG isn't illegal but it…
