I dont do a cheat day, but I do have one cheat meal per week. There are guidelines though. The meal can never be over 1200 calories. Jackie Warner tells her clients those guidelines, and it works for me, so far. Still lose weight even with the ONE meal.

Wow, you're before picture is totally my body type right now, and your after is what I'm trying to achieve!

Yes, and they came out SOOOO good. So much better then frozen. Yummms.

I'm not overweight by the BMI calculator, but I am RIGHT at the line. I'm just under the overweight line. But I think this maybe a good idea. Maybe in between my run days I will do the elliptical. Thanks

If I dont know nutritional info I try and go for Balsamic or Italian for the dressing, and on the side.

I hope so too, I've always wanted to be able to run distance, thanks for the support.

Thanks for the tips!!!

Yeah, I think I will keep trying and if it worsen then I'll stop. But like I said the soreness goes away after an hour or so, it doesnt stick around. But maybe I do need more recovery time in between workouts.

It hurts, but I'm able to push through it. I'm def not gonna give up because this is something I really want. I just wasn't sure if it was good to push my self through it. I do have some glucosamine at home so I could try that out too. Thanks for the advice!

Finished my first week! Now on to week two. The only problem I came across is that my hips and knees and legs start hurting A LOT while I'm running. Day 1 was fine, Day 2 and Day 3 were killers. It hurt to walk afterward, but it went away after an hour or so. I'm wondering if this is just because my body is so NOT used to…

Turkey meatball subs on Sara Lee 80 cal hot dog buns. Yummo!

Does anyone know how accurate it is in regards to counting calories?

Thanks for the tip! I have been going over too even though everything else has been on point. Today is bad because I had subway and for dinner I'm going to have to make it quick so I'm grabbing 2 fresco crunchy tacos from Taco Bell. I guess anytime you get fastfood its going to be a lot higher in sodium. Created by…
