I actually loved the veggie challenge, b/c it made me realize just how few fruits and vegetables I typically eat. Getting 5 servings in was a bit harder than I thought! Which reminds me, I had 4 servings of peas (they were delicious!) today, along with a serving of pomegranate seeds. I also completed day one of my C2K…

Just stepped on the scale this morning, and despite not logging, not getting all 5 servings in everyday, and not exercising, I'm down to 181. I've definitely been eating healthier this week compared to last. Just about to eat my first serving today: pomegranate!

definitely got my veggies in today: broccoli, cauliflower, apple, and then more broccoli and cauliflower!

I'm 5' 8.25" - yes, the extra half an inch matters! My frame is medium, and my goal weight is160. Ultimately, I think I'd like to be 150, but I'm not sure it's doable without depriving myself so much that I'd be unhappy. I tend to carry my weight proportionately and people tend to think I'm a much smaller size (say, 12)…

Never posted this before, so: SW: 195 CW: 183 GW: 150 My name is Cathleen and I'm 36. Been with MFP since whatever date's beneath my avatar! I've put on 5 pounds with the holidays and my birthday, and I suppose that's my struggle: celebrations and an abundance of treats lower my inhibitions. I'm also not exercising…

I'm in! CW is 183, so I've put on 5 pounds in the last month. Now I just need to get all my veggies and fruits ready!

I have this bra from Title 9 and it's great! It's called "The Last Resort Sports Bra". :laugh: http://www.titlenine.com/product/sports-bras-and-undies/medium-high-impact-sports-bras/313801.do?sortby=ourPicks

This has happened to me before, too, and I agree with the other posters that it sounds like low blood sugar. I always got it when I dieted and was eating too many simple carbs. Try to eat a snack with complex carbs and protein pr fat at least an hour before you work out. Nothing huge, but maybe some peanut butter and…

That's amazing! You look younger, too!!! :flowerforyou:

I did lose weight on it and have a co-worker who did, as well. For me it was a great instruction on how to eat moderately and healthily, while not severely limiting carbs in the way Atkins does (I lost some weight on that one, too, but couldn't sustain it). I think if you're a person who needs very structured eating, it's…

My oft-repeated tale: I took Paxil CR several years ago for anxiety and put on 40 pounds in about 1-2 years, and losing weight was really difficult when on it. As a result, I switched to Lexapro and it was somewhat easier . I went off Lexapro for about two years and lost more weight, but my anxiety got worse and my doctor…

I never knew I had asthma until I went to the doctor with severe bronchitis, so it's very possible to have asthma and not know it - symptoms can be so mild that they're easy to dismiss. Even after I was diagnosed, I didn't do anything to treat it because it was so innocuous. Eventually, I did have to do something. You…

I exercise (30DS, Banish Fat) at home on carpeting and I find it nearly impossible to do many of the maneuvers while wearing my gym shoes. My feet would slide inside my shoes for certain moves, even though I've never had problems with them while walking or running. I tried different socks and tightening my laces, but in…

That is truly amazing and impressive!!! What was really interesting was how you continued to lose weight not by counting calories in the second installment of Insanity, but by watching what you eat and eating healthy. Congrats!!!!

I make stuffed green peppers on Sunday and have 6 peppers for the week. It takes just two minutes to reheat them and they're delicious and low calorie. Found it on sparkpeople (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=728023): 6 large green peppers 1 lb ground turkey 2 tbsp chopped onion 1 cup cooked rice…

I was probably about 40 pounds heavier than what was originally on my license. In the intervening years, I managed to lose some weight and was only about 15 pounds away from my listed weight when I had to go in and get my DL renewed. The clerk there saw me and said, "There's no way you weigh XXX [amount on my DL]; you must…

I'm in! I hope to start this week, if this cold doesn't get worse.

As a result, I switched to Lexapro and it was somewhat easier . I went off Lexapro for about two years and lost more weight,…

I really loved Jillian Michaels' "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism". It's more intense than the Shred and it's about 46 minutes.

I take antidepressants for anxiety. I gained tons of weight on Paxil CR, then was able to lose some by switching to Lexapro, but still had trouble losing. I weaned off Lex and lost more weight, but then decided to go back on meds after a couple of years and I'm taking Wellbutrin right now. It seems to really be helping me…
