I'm sorry I'm only just logging in to post my weight for last week, but things have been crazy busy!! I didn't make my goals for the week. I only worked out 3 times, not 4, and I went over calories a couple of days. Soooooo . . . I weighed in at 202.5 on Monday. :(

It's only Wednesday, and this week is turning out to be as tough as I expected. It's my TOM, which is always a struggle for me. I worked out hard enough last week that I really didn't get bloated (for once), so I'm not expecting any kind of water weight bonus loss this week. Still struggling with the blood sugar thing. And…

There was an article on MSN a few weeks ago, on their new "fitbie" site, about 10 weird side effects of exercising and this was one of them. Something about how your feet striking the ground/pavement causes a change in pressure in your inner ear, or something like that. Apparently not uncommon, but not common, either.

I went to my endocrinologist yesterday, and they made some adjustments, so my main goal this week will be to just maintain. I'm a diabetic on an insulin pump, and I ended up taking in extra calories yesterday due to low blood sugars. I'm going to see how today goes, and if I have the same problem today, I'm going to start…

Happy Monday!! I weighed in at 201.5 this AM. Not bad for me for a Monday. Down 1 pound. SW: 202.5 1/10: 201.5

I started out my week really strong, and then . . . I died. Didn't workout yesterday and was over my calories. Didn't workout this morning, and I only have 350 calories left for the day. And the way I'm feeling right now, it's going to take a monsterous effort to make myself workout when I get home. I need to get one more…

I have the same question as someone else posted. Is there a new thread for each week that continues until the next Monday weigh in? If so, these threads must get enormous!! Doing well so far this week. In addition to the goals for self I posted earlier (all water, workout), I've committed to NOT eating ALL of my exercise…

May I join, please? I need some MAJOR accountability!! Please log my starting weight as 202.5. My goals for week 1: drink more water, workout at least 4x this week. Weigh-ins are Mondays?

I didn't care for the 30-Day Shred. I found it to be boring. I have Power 90, which is kind of like the intro to P90X. Also, boring. I lasted about a month, and I couldn't take it any more. I have Slim in 6. Again, really didn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a great program, but I found Debbie to be really…

I haven't done P90X or Chalean Extreme, but do have TurboFire and Power 90, and just ordered Turbo Jam. Personally, I like Chalene's instruction style much better than Tony Horton's. She's fun, super high energy, and she talks to you to keep you motivated! Even though you know she can't see you, she'll say stuff like…

It's kinda tangy and kinda salty tasting. Most people who don't like yogart, don't like cottage cheese. Similar to sour cream in flavor? Not quite as tangy, though. And some people don't like the consistency. Be brave!! Try it!! It's good!!! I like the little individual Breakstones cups.

I made these last week, and they're getting better and better every day! As a side note, I baked the first tray for the full 25 min, but they really didn't need that long. The second tray I took out at 20 minutes, and they weren't as dry. So, depending on your oven, you may want to watch them. Courtesy www.weelicious.com…

Isagenix shakes are also a possibility. Gluten and dairy free. Come in Chocolate or Vanilla flavored. www.isagenix.com The retail is pretty expensive, so it's worth the investment to enroll as an associate to get the wholesale price. Lots of other great products, too! They also have meal replacement bars (4 flavors), and a…

If I remember correctly, it's the pressure on your feet that make them go numb on the elliptical. Mine do the same thing. If you try to fully unweight each foot as you go, or even every so often, it helps a little bit. Good luck!

I'm really glad someone posted this. I was actually getting ready to post the same thing! I'm consistently under calories, but over in protein and sometimes fat. I know most of the problem is I've been doing Isagenix shakes for breakfast and those are 24g of protein right off the bat. But wanted to make sure if I was over,…

Made these over the weekend and they're FANTASTIC!! More cake-like than your typical cookie. Very, very moist! Could probably almost make them as mini-muffins and still have a nice little treat! I also doubled the recipe, so I used 1/2 dark choc. chips and 1/2 butterscotch!! Yummy-licious!!! Even my boyfriends picky 10 y/o…

There's a site - www.weelicious.com - that's geared towards kids, but has great, mostly organic recipies. I just got about 4 "sweet treats" off the website yesterday for high fiber/low cal snacks. She uses things like agave nectar and honey instead of sugar alot, whole wheat flour, oats, fruit, etc, etc. Just to give an…
