Sounds about accurate, but agree with the above comment. Peel off the skin and I'm sure you lose some calories.

I looove the Kraft Light Raspberry vinaigrette. I think it has about 45 cals per 2 tablespoons. I'm a huge ranch fan, but I love this stuff.

I really like the Jergens natural glow daily firming moisterizer with the gradual tanner in it. It works pretty good. I'm fair so I use the one designed for fair skin. They have improved it since I used it last summer and it's not sticky or stinky anymore. Good Luck! I got it at CVS, but Walmart also carries it.

Low and high calorie days but by the end of the week, its the same number of calories as if you ate a set amount each day.

You look amazing! You're gorgeous!!!

Search 17 Day Diet...I know there is a thread with like 20 pages of comments and info.

I buy the instant oatmeal, because I don't know how to prepare the old fashioned kind in the cyclinder and I guess I never really bothered to find out how. Is it easy to prepare at work? I read that some of you mix in protein powder; one scoop?

Thanks everyone for your responses. Good advice!

Awesome job!!!

It didn't make too much difference when I set it to 1lb/week. It's calculating 1,330 Calories / Day. I'll whip out my tape measure and start measuring too. I have increased my weights as well as rotating different cardio machines.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I'll read the links you submitted as well. I do have my activity set at sedentary since I sit at a computer all day except for when I go to the gym.

Yes, I had it set at 2lbs loss per week, but obviously I'm not achieving that. I'll go back in and set it to 1lb/week.

Had the same thing, except I was in terrible pain; left side only. It felt like my shin bone was going to split in half. That was around October of last night. I can run a 5K on the treadmill, but I have to wear a calf/shin brace that I got an Academy, otherwise it starts to hurt. Although I have been fitted for shoes to…

What the heck is that? lol

Wow! Awesome job! Look like a different person!!!

I don't associate brown rice with sweet...ewww in my opinion lol. For breakfast the next day, I would dump the leftover rice in my egg beaters and add a few pieces of shredded chicken or the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage. MMMMM

It's only been 3 days. You need to give yourself more time and set some realistic, attainable goals. In addition to a 1200 calorie diet, exercise is key as well. Lots of lean proteins and cut out all the bad stuff: chips, candy, etc. and enjoy those items in moderation or replace with more healthy items. For example, a bag…

I had Lasik done 1/21/11. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. I was in contacts since the 6th grade and glasses since the 4th grade. Seriously, the worst thing of it all, was having to wearing glasses (no contacts) for the two week period before Lasik. That totally sucked because after wearing contacts for so long, it…

I'm in Tomball, near Houston.

I saw a recipe somewhere that you coat a little of cod with honey and then dip in panko bread crumbs. I want to say the calorie count was under 200. I'm sure if you google it, you could find it. Hope that helps :)

I am in LOOOOOVE with Campbells' Healthy Request Chicken Corn Chowder. It is awesomeeee!

Polar FT4 for me too! I've had it about a week and love it. The chest strap is hardly noticeable anymore.

Yeah, make sure you plugged in your correct weight and birthdate. My target rate is 125-165 I believe for my age/weight. I love my FT4!

I'm interesting in knowing as well.I've always seen the different kinds, but know nothing about them or how to cook them. I usually pick the Quaker Weight Control Instand Oatmeal to make at work.

Thanks everyone. This gives me a good place to start. I'm open to spending a little money on something thats not going to fall apart in a month.

Mine is also in my left leg. Icing and stretching didn't help. I went to a podiatrist and he said I had a stress fracture of my tibia and not to run for ~6weeks. I've ran some after that with no problems with my shins. I bought some shoes from Fleet Fleet and I wear a shin/calf sleeve brace that I got from Academy when I…

I'm from Tomball. Welcome!

I lost majority of it off my back and sides..unfortunately the booty and thighs remain for now. Although I can't complain too much because they are smaller now. Haha...so wish I could spot reduce.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I think I might try to workout with the DVDs I currently have more consistently first and go from there. I'm just on the fence a little here, because I know I need to step it up now. I just know it's not realistic for me to do a workout video anymore than 3-4 times a week. I do want the…
