I think people are misunderstanding the book and it's partially because they haven't read it. The point of the "reset" is to get your body back on track; not to starve yourself for 3 months living only on "smoothies". And you don't starve let me clarify. I'm getting the daily recommendation of fruits/veggies/proteins/and…

It's so true! I was scared of weights for longest time and now Saturdays when I lift it's my favorite day. True about the body comp and focusing more on that then the number. If my jean size would change versus the scale... we'd be all good, but eff that won't even budge. How many days per week do you weight lift?

And by with I mean without

If you're a morning person and do your AM workouts, protein shakes are great. Protein Pancakes are always delicious and taste like your eating bad, but you're not (Egg Whites, Flax, Blueberries, Protein Powder) Peanut Butter... Gah. I love breakfast.

To be honest, once I stopped using Weigt Watchers and switched over fully to MFP I have been at a crazy plateau. Not sure why, but just be prepared if you are switching things up that it might take awhile to get into the swing of things.

Hi. This happened to me too. I ran 13 miles on Saturday and 10 Sunday and I woke up this morning 7lbs heavier from last Thursday. I've been doing some research because I was nervous. That would be mean since July, I am up a total of 10 lbs. For someone that is consistent during the week with my diet and does a heavy amount…

My thoughts are if you do not know this person on a personal level, you have no business telling them they are fat. You don't think that these people who are obese don't know that they are heavier? The last thing anybody should ever be doing is commenting on somebody's weight or looks. I see it time and again how rude and…

Girl. The last 5 lbs are the hardest. :explode:

It's a constant struggle for me. Some days are good, others are bad. For me, these last few months have been the worst and getting closer and closer to my goal and then making mistakes along the way have been hard on me. I'll sit in my room cry until my body goes into convulsions (not healthy). It's a process and there is…

I stepped on the scale and was up 4 lbs from last week. Granted, it's water I've been *****ing about it all day.

Good for you! You are beautiful!

AMEN

It's the most delicious thing ever. I prefer it over Milk nowadays!

I tried it about a year ago and the foods weren't that great. Some of it was ok and some of it I couldn't even swallow. The breakfast items were ok. The lunches and dinners... not so much. The meatloaf and spaghetti were actually room temperature. A lot of preservatives. A lot of sodium. I would definitely recommend trying…

I totally understand. My boyfriend will tell me all the time to enjoy myself. He doesn't understand, I am enjoying myself. If no one is going to support me I'd rather them just not say anything. I think what bothers him the most though is I obsessively will talk about what I ate. For example, if I had a bad day, I'll…

OH MY GOODNESS. This post. Today we had a food day at my office where people brought in treats and goodies for another co-workers birthday. I typically have amazing self control and don't participate, but today was exceptionally different and it all started with a 1/2 slice of banana bread. The half slice turned into 2…

lawlz to this thread. We should all just agree to disagree on fashion. I'm gonna take a complete 180 and just say I ate like an f'ing cow today and feel like a fat *kitten*.

Dear person that wrote this... I think we can all agree as women, we will wear what makes us feel good. Whether it be a cheaply made sun dress or a swanky pair of slacks from Banana Republic. In no way does our clothing choices define who we are as people on the inside. If we feel great who the frick cares. Judge me…

DAMN GIRL!

Word. I love Kohls. Especially the Lauren Conrad collection. Not gonna lie, I also own a pretty hot poncho from H&M. Pehaps, I was just trying to make the point - why is there a post dissing what people over the age of 20 are wearing? If I want to wear a pair of Silver brand jeans bought in the Jrs Dept at Macy's I'll do…

Yeah. Must be nice.

I'm 24 and I still enjoy shopping in certain Junior sections because I'm not ready to wear turtlenecks and mom jeans yet. Have you seen Macy's Women's section? I don't think any 20-somethings are going to be browsing through the poncho's and cheetah cardigan's there. Why would we be shopping in the "Misses" along with…

They really said that the body could survive on say a net of 500 calories? For example, you ate 1,200 and burned 700 with excercise? That's somewhat frightening to me.

I'm making the transition from WW to MFP right now and finding it very difficult to mentally use both programs. Starting to prefer MFP over WW, but I have noticed the weight coming off MUCH SLOWER where as on full time WW I would be consistently losing. I would tend to eat a ton more fruits on WW, but noticing how much of…

I dig Optimum Nutrition Gold standard. I've tried double chocolate and cookies 'n cream and they are both delicious! If you order online they have tons of different flavors that I want to try. Carmel Choc Fudge and Cake Batter!?!?! Yumssssssssssss.

I'm obsessed with Peanut Butter, Fat Free Cottage Cheese and Fat Free Greek Yogurt! Just watch and measure your portions! Here are my favorites: Peanut Butter Protein Shake: 1 cup almond milk unsweetened 6 oz Low Fat Greek Yogurt 1/2 Scoop 100% Whey Protein Powder (Chocolate Flavor) 1 Tbsp Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (no…
