  • The way of thinking that is" do or do not do there is no try" doesn't work for everyone. It was that way of thinking that at least in the beginning that made me quit most times. Personally for ME, I have an addictive personality and an all or nothing attitude in most everything. I find that I will do really well for a…
  • What A**HOLES. You're making strides to make yourself the person you want to be, let them be more motivation for you to do so since you know they're just pissed they don't have it in them and you DO. The fact that you are TRYING is something to be proud of. I always tell myself "think of the alternative." I can either try…
  • ^ loving how all the ladies are thinking the same thing. :) lookin good. like reallly good.
  • It's all about balance and choices and it's difficult for EVERYONE. If you want to drink one night, make sure you get a really good workout in that day or the next morning to sweat it out then be active the rest of the day. If you want to cheat a little, do it. But make up for it in your food choices the rest of the day or…
  • That's after 30 days of just 30 day shred????? dayum girl. lookin good.
  • I've started it a million times and never finish. I would love to actually get through 30 days lol.
  • Maybe try doing some really good stretching before and after the arm workouts? I'm not sure but my arms go numb a lot when I'm sleeping too- sometimes at my elbow where if i try to bend it it hurts really bad. I'm bad about putting my pillow b/w my bicep and my head and having my arm straight out above my head that's…
  • omg the marshmallow chocolate madness cupcakes are AMAZING!!
  • Agree with the above!! She has awesome low cal cupcake recipes.
  • I'm sure I under report a lot right now but it's pretty much within ballpark- plus I don't eat ALL my calories every day because I know there's probably a little more than what I put on there anyway even if I thought I was meticulous. I was looking at my crystal light tea drink I didn't know it was 5 cals! there's even…
  • don't let this stop you from posting!!!! I was serious when I said this was the first negative posting I've seen on here!!! I assure you everyone here is really positive and encouraging. It's the holidays- we're all in misery :) lol
  • What kind of school program is it you're talking about if you don't mind me asking?
  • That's amazing!!! great job keep up the good work girl!
  • and I just have to say- this is the first posting I've yet to see on this site in which people argue and get a little snarky with one another- interesting that it was over MILK!!! lol! this is kinda funny.
  • no need in crying over spilled milk errbody!!! lol. Can someone sum up the article it's too dang long!!
  • thank you everybody. Still having a hard time getting back on but I'm mentally stronger now and i KNOW this is just a little slip-up in the grand scheme of things :)
  • Thank you everyone, I really needed some words of encouragement right now. The past few months I have been so happy with all of the milestones of losing weight finally. I just crashed for a little bit from the stress, everything will be OK. :) I love ya'll and this site is the only thing keeping me holding on right now!!
  • agreed with above! Next time just say ok well i'll have 2 bowls then go workout hard :) no need to beat yourself up over it- that will just lead to more destruction.
  • Take whatever you want and whatever looks good, but only ONCE. If you put too much on your plate that you'll feel guilty eating, then don't eat it. But know that you won't go back for seconds. So fill up and eat, then hit the DANCE floor and don't look back!!! :)
  • It's just mono. Get a lot of sleep and drink a lot of liquids. You should be fine in no time! Make sure to rest though and don't over exert yourself till you feel better.
  • Use all of those people as inspiration to know that not only are there other people out there that have the same problems you do- but that you can fix them just like they did/are!!!
  • My bad days- particularly the crying bad days- usually don't involve anything NEAR subway or salads....I think you're doing OK if you consider those horrible things (no matter in what quantities) :) at least you didn't down a whole large pizza....as i like to do when I'm really bummed out then end up crying all night b/c…
  • I agree that spices will help your body get what it may be needing that is creating the cravings. After a while of eating right and making sure you're getting enough of the nutritions your body needs, it will stop begging you for the things it wants. Usually when you have cravings it's because your body is lacking in some…
  • I've always had a hard time with this and it seems like the smaller I am the worse I get about it (because i'm comfortable going out with my friends and not staying in PJ's all thetime!!) It's easier for me right now b/c I am in school and have to study basically 24/7 so there's not really time for fun on weekends. Try to…
  • sounds like you have your head in the game!! There are SEVERAL people on this website who have lost more than 100 pounds. Congrats to you for taking the first step!!!
  • I like the hot bath and book with wine idea...that sounds amazing! who needs nachos to make you feel like crap and guilty anyway? not worth it!!
  • hmm... chew some gum, drink even more water, go workout, go play an online game and waste a few hours :) call a friend, clean your house or car...i dunno just think of something really distracting?
  • totally for accountability. I doubt anyone really looks at mine anyway, but I look at other people's to get good ideas for meals and such. I like being able to see what people who have been successful are eating, and like someone else said, if i'm looking at theirs they should be able to look at mine :)
  • What kind did you end up buying? Great info thank you! I just bought some new Nike air something or other that the guy said was great for running but then again they thought shocks were the best running shoe around at some point also...
  • Talk to your doctor about seeing if Welbutrin would be a good antidepressant for you. It is known to be the only antidepressant to not cause weight gain (and sometimes causes weight loss) as well as helps people quit smoking.
