    in why does losing weight have to be so hard??? Comment by Jori7071 December 2012
  • I like the way you think about it. That's exactly what I do....then I get alot of complaints from my family that I already worked out today, why do I need to work out some more? They don't understand that by working out I am rewarding my cravings!

  • I got to the recipe tab on MFP and put all the ingreadients in and create the recipe. Even if its just a home made burger I create a recipe for it.

  • I don't have a scale and so I haven't been weighing anything, I do use measuring cups because most of your "sides" will say, half cup of this or whole cup of that. The only questionable part for me is the meat portions. I am not much of a meat eater so I always go on the small side. I am loosing so I am not sweating it but…
    in Weighing food....your thoughts?? Comment by Jori7071 June 2012
  • These results are VERY significant! The difference in the size of your hips is WAY noticeable and the muscle definition coming into your abs is inspiring.

  • I rotate my workout videos so I only do the 30 DS 2x a week but I have been doing it for over 30 days and still on level one. I can't do the jump ropes and jumping jacks without stopping and I refuse to move on till I can. I also find it hard to keep going when she is doing the side lunges with the lifting the weights to…

  • I don't really have any rewards either, I agree-I should set some. One thing I HAVE done-I started originally at 205 lbs. at a 18/20. When I got down to 12/14 I had a Victorias Secret Shopping spree-I COULD FINALLY WEAR THEIR STUFF! I have always loved their stuff (more the way it makes me feel-high maintenance).:blushing:

  • Awesome results! I love the progress pics, they are VERY inspiring. I have the 30DS and while I like to think I am somewhat fit.....the jump ropes and jumping jacks back to back in workout 1 kill me every time! I have been scared of what workout 2 will hold but now I see it will be well worth the struggle!

  • My situation is the same but different. My husband don't want to sacrafice the junk food to loose weight and so he eats whatever he wants. This doesn't bother me in the least, because........my husband is super obsessively controling. He always has been and it's been 23 years, you learn to adjust. My diet and excersize is…
    in What do you do when the spouse drags you down? Comment by Jori7071 May 2012
  • That does happen to me....at least it did. It just seemed like once I would get my heart rate elevated, my ears would stop up (on one side) and I could just listen to myself breathe-couldn't hear much else. It hasn't been as bad recently and I will say, it seemed like it started after I had used the Netti Pot. I had gotten…

  • And you thought you were alone! I USED to have anxiety to the point where I was agoraphobic and extremely suicidal. I was finally forced out of the house to see a physician for it. A nurse at the doctors office seen my scripts for Prozac (the drug of the day) and asked it I had anxiety issues and depression. I said yes.…

  • My number 1 tip-be true to myself. If I fib on my food log or my workout log, I am the only one who will know and I am the only one that will pay the price.
    in My number one dieting tip- what is yours? Comment by Jori7071 May 2012
  • I rotate between the 30 day shred, The Firm cardio/resistance bands workout and my absolute favorite Cathy Freiderick Total Body Step. I have got to be one of the only people left in the world that love a good step workout and this one she does a 10 minute cardio then a 5 minute weights three times so its an hour with the…

  • It's sad that we all think 14 is average. Marilyn Monroe was a 14! She was HOT!!!!! I am blessed with OCD. Most people wouldn't consider that a blessing but in this respect it kinda is. I am obsessive about counting calories, fat, carbs, sodium. I am just freaky weird about it. I think what helps me a lot too is that I…

  • I would be afraid to up my calorie count too-just because it goes against everything that you make yourself learn to drop the pounds but I have to say that A LOT of people have posted that it is definately the way to go. Someone yesterday posted about the same thing and someone said, "if you up your calories 2-3 hundred…
    in Diary Help!! Comment by Jori7071 May 2012
  • For me it was easy. I am 5'9" and when I weigh 165 everyone says I am too thin-so that's my goal. Right now I am 179 and God is good to me. At 179 I am a true size 12-graced with a good build. I think the expected BMI and weight for people is unrealistic. After all, Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and she was and still is…

  • I am new to MFP-I had previously used a different sight but when I upgraded my cell phone I found that this site has A LOT more user friendly options. In 2010 I weighed just over 200 pounds and I lost 40 pounds. Over the course of the last 2 years I have put 15 pounds back on, just not being careful and making excuses for…
