  • My binge foods during times of loneliness or boredom: Cookies & Crackers Substitute: protein bar (like Special K brand) for sweet, and Wasabi flavored almonds for salty Even with these... I really have to watch my portion sizes. That's where MFP comes in... logging every bite makes me more aware!
  • Bump- when I have more time, and ready to make a shopping list. :)
  • From OP: "Third, it has involved me retraining myself regarding food. I literally have to answer the question, "Why am I eating this?" every time I eat a sweet (my trigger food). I've found for me most of the time my answer is: I am lonely or I am sad. Then I have to tap into my logical mind. A glazed donut might taste…
  • Just checked out this link. It's awesome! Looking forward to my home Dance workout tomorrow morning.
  • The "Success Stories" boards are always my favorite, and the most helpful for me. I've just returned to MFP, and I absolutely cannot wait until it's time to post my own. Keep up the great work!
  • Please add me. The timing is perfect!:bigsmile:
  • Hey everyone! I bought "Ripped" yesterday, and just finished Week 1, Day 1. I love Jillian's videos because they are 20 minutes (a realistic commitment I can accomplish before work in the mornings). They still bring out the sweat and the pain though! This is also Day 1 of my new SUGAR-FREE life. I've been doing a lot of…
  • I have been experimenting with the P90X videos, but I don't necessarily follow the sequence. (Tony would say that's a no-no!) Has anyone calculated their number of calories burned with the Plyometrics workout? Plyo and Core synergistics are my favorites!
  • WOW! You've come a long way! And you look really happy in your latest pic. Keep up the great work, and thanks for the inspiration. PS. What is "Couch to 5K" and where can I get info. about it?
  • Monday weigh in! I lost 2 lbs. and this is only day 4! :bigsmile: The food diary is especially helpful for me. It has made me SO much more aware of what I'm putting into my body. But, what I'm most excited about is... I'm noticing that eating well, and exercising regularly are helping my mood. I feel more cheerful, more…
  • Speaking of pushing through the exercise... I just laugh because EVERY time I'm about to stop, and I'm thinking I absolutely cannot do a single second more... Jillian will say "OK, just 2 more!" And I do it! :tongue: Keep pushing! (Those measurements Misty posted are very encouraging! Thanks. You go girl!) Renee
  • I read an article in "Women's Health" yesterday (while I was on the elliptical machine, yeah!), that suggested trying to eat 30-50% of your calories in the morning. It claims this will help increase your metabolism. So I'm going to give it a try today! We'll see how it effects my workout (I worry it will make me sluggish).…
  • Hi! Not a new "shredder", but new to MFP today. I got this video for Christmas. I pop it in now and then, but the longest I've done is 5 days in a row. (level one, obviously). After reading all of your posts, I am re-energized and re-committed!!!! I love your enthusiasm for the sweat... and the sore muscles... and the…
  • Hi! I'm Renee... and I'm a June starter! I am a high school teacher. Since I'm off for summer vacation, it has been much easier to get myself into the gym consistently. But the scale isn't budging... so I know my diet needs some "tweaking"! :wink: SW: 151 lbs. CW: 150 lbs. (even after a 4 day, all-u-can-eat cruise. Not…
