I did the 30DS. I was also doing cardio on top of that 2x a day. With the deficit I had (and I overestimate my intake to be "safe") I should have lost 5 pounds. I lost 1. Next week again, I should have lost 4, I lost 2. I got incredibly frustrated. After a month I gave my body a little bit of a break, and BAM! 10 pounds…

For all of you who do go for light mayo options... just be mindful that it may not actually BE light mayo you are getting. I worked at Subway and let's just say I fought a hard battle to get them to put actual light mayo in the light mayo bottle....I'm not saying all subways are like this, but certainly the one I worked at…

Because Jillian is kicking your *kitten*.

Well, if you continue with the eating out and having lots of food you'll regain that 10 pounds you just lost and maybe more. Depending on what you were doing your body may have changed shape without the pounds coming off. Take pictures for a real comparison. Take measurements. Look at those NSVs. Mix it up, do different…

Focus on you and being the best you that you can be. Also I walked my *kitten* off just to get out frustration. Also I would lose myself in my thoughts while I was working out so then the work out time just flew by without realizing it! Try new things, do stuff you always wanted to do. Give yourself time to grieve and take…

A lot of people will tell you to eat more. I did Shred while maintaining 1200-1400 cals/day. I'll tell you that when I started 30DS I did the work and had the burn to lose 5 pounds. I lost 1. 2nd week of shred I didn't lose much either. When I stopped doing Shred it all came off the scale the next week. I took before and…

I began "running" at about 300 pounds. It was much more a jog than run, but it is what my body was ok with. I would walk for 5 minutes, then jog for 1 minute. The sense of pride that came with it was amazing. I didn't have any pain during or after. And I did feel a bit of that high. Then I fell off from everything and now…

All I know is I'm jealous. My stomach is huge, always has been. I had to be 170 and was still size 18, although I could squeeze into a super tight 16. At 350 I was in a size 32, Lost 60 pounds and was able to just squeeze into a 28. Meanwhile I'm absolutely swimming in the butt and legs in those pants. Would love to find…

I play LoL on NA, never play rank though. I main support, usually Sona. I'm a rather aggressive support at that though because I NEVER play support in any games ever, but I like it in LoL for some reason, but I still like to be aggressive.

I have had a VERY hard time finding work, even though I'm perfectly qualified and educated. Then again I'm in Michigan and it's hard to find work here anyway :) It has been extremely difficult to even get to the point of having an in-person interview, but even so I've never been hired once that happened either *lol* I just…

BluBonnet French Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate... but the trick is (and it may work with any protein shake) is to use coconut milk. DELICIOUS. Seriously it is like a treat and I always want more. ETA... also it mixes very smoothly and evenly, dunno if that is the powder or the coconut milk, I think it is the coconut milk…

It also depends where you are getting those calories from - such as are you eating a bunch of simple carbs that will cause you to crash and burn? Are you eating all your calories in one meal or 3 or 6 smaller ones? Then of course - are you getting enough sleep? Often when I change my eating patterns (or have a level of…

I agree with you completely kristen, it IS easier to go it alone than it is with people who don't understand and want you to go out with them, drink, out to eat, etc. Thankfully, that wasn't what I was asking for - I am hoping to find others of like mind and like goals. It is like finding teammates that know the game vs.…

Congrats Tofte. I fell off and am re-starting. I find that in pretty much every group I join the messages are sparse and sporadic. I came to MFP to get and give support to people who really wanted to do this (lose weight, get fit, eat well, be healthy, self-discipline, etc etc) because I don't have a single person around…

I'd like to get in on this too if there is room. For all of us that don't make it - maybe we could make our own if there is someone that would like to organize it?

I started my juice fast on Monday as well, so count me in. I am starting with 10 days and will re-evaluate after that. I'd really like to go for 30-60-maybe even 90 days, but I have a lot of weight to lose and health to gain and palate to train for veggies. I have a little bit of a headache this evening, which I heard are…

I quit smoking with the e-cig too. It's been a little over a year now and still have that same half pack of smokes in my car. I tried one type of e-cig first and it just was too fussy and didn't do it for me, then I got the ego tank (type B) and it just worked great. Then the challenge was finding a flavor and strength. I…

Thank you for posting this. It is easy to get bogged down in goals, falling short and not enjoying the journey. This is a great reminder and something I sorely needed to see as I'm trying to get back to good. :)

Yes, I take progress photos. They saved me a few times from falling off the wagon. Specifically when I was doing the 30 day shred and I did the work to lose a fair amount of weight but instead only lost like 4-5 pounds. The pictures showed that I looked differently even if the scale barely moved. I never understood people…

Hey Krissy - When I first started, I kid you not, I walked about 1/4 mile, just to take my dog to go potty, and I'd be winded. After i did that long enough I wasn't winded on it anymore and tried to go further. And further. And further. It was all about doing it on a regular basis, daily for me, and then pushing a little…

Krissy - I've been "dieting" since I was 13. I'd have some success here and there, and of course gain it all back and then some. At most I'd lose about 20-30 pounds, and then just give up, give in. There was a time in college where I got some pretty terrible news and my immediate thoughts was "guess I'll go shove a pizza…

Coconut milk here. It makes protein shakes amazing tasting!
