just stop... convince your mind that it is all chemicals you are drinking not a natural drink like water, try to go a day or two or more without it and you will notice how awful it tastes. I only drink pop if I am at a party or there is absolutely nothing else to drink, and I don't party often and when I do it's usually…

wow, what a difference, you look so fit now and slimmer!! You go, girl!!!:):)

I honestly don't get it, trying to eat healthy and being picky? Explore the world of healthy eating more, there are tons of websites with all kinds of recipes low fat. low cal, etc. What do you not like in healthy eating, veggies, lean proteins, fruit, water, tea etc.? I am sure it is a very small issue easy to resolve,…

I can see that love handles around your tummy are smaller now!!:)

this is such a controversial issue that I would only rely on personal experience. I don't drink much at all... I watch my child who is young and assuming children act naturally on their needs, he does not require much water, he drinks when he is thirsty. I once trained to run 10K and the recommendation was to start…

18 pounds, are you kidding me?:):) I wish I'd lost that much! agree with all commens above, keep going, don't ive up, giving up is the easiest thing to do. Take measurements, it may be your individual body structure, bones, genes, etc. in general but I am absolutely sure if you take photos and post them here, everyone is…

is it a Canadian company? I tried their vitamins, like them, have not tried anything else but am thinking of trying protein powder.

it is so easy to relax and to just give in... you can do it as long as you are counting calories, maybe. I know that for me it is usually one or two weeks before that time of the month when I crave chips, sweets, baked goodies, etc...

good job, keep it going, you'll get there!! what is the next surpsire pound loss is it going to be?:):)

countrygal, can you share what you've found out for yourself? it is still not 100% clear to me though I think I have an idea of what eating healthy means:)

You could say "I really appreciate your compliments, they motivate me too, but if you don't mind, I don't want our conversations to focus on my weightloss. And you are in a great shape too, I hope I am in shape like that when I am your age:)" OR ask her husband as is he much closer to his mom, he probably knows your shy…

agree with all, it must be diet and limit beer, I was reading somewhere not long ago, you can't get rid of fat in just one area of your body, it's a total burn, so eat more lean protein (fish, eggs, egg white, chicken) and veggies for carbs.

getting married and relaxing and "enjoying" life that inculded too many unhealthy choices... also emotional eating to fight boredom and anger...

I am not sure about the settings, there was a good response in general I think it was called how to count your calories from one of the moderators here. As for 30ds, I did 10 days level one and have started level 2. That was not too hard for me because I did them before and my body remembered it. Try going for ten days and…

Try Dr.Dukan diet, you may lose some quickly plus exercise. I once tried it, 7 days on lean protein lost 6 pounds.

wow, you look so much younger!!! did you say 40????? no way, you look 30!!!!! or even younger!

wow, what a difference, I find I am so impatient, six months seems like six years to me:) what is turbofire?

I use a battery chaged scale, it charges from light, I've had it for over 10 years, still working. I'd go for electronic or battery, not mechanical.

depression is hard but there is always a reason as to why we get into this kind of state of mind... to me it is all emotional, you maybe going through post partum new mother depression and it would be totally healthy and fine to go see doctor for this reason. You are stressed because of the studies, med school is hard, so…

wow, this is remarkable!! keep up the good work! you look beatiful:)

jacksonpt, I am still confused... my profile says sedentary lifestyle because I am at a desk job all day. Then it asked how many times a week I plan to work out and I chose 6 times a week 30 min. when I chose that option, does it mean the MFP input it in my daily calorie calculations and I don't need to worry about eating…

agree with most, best is to change your eating habits altogether for the rest of your life. But I am doing meal replacement shakes now, not H not Mfast, for breakfast and dinner and a very healthy lunch. I treat it as a way for me to form new healthy eating habits and lose weight along the way. It is so easy in the…

I am not sure if coffee before working out is a good idea as it is diaretic, you lose more water. I usually work out in the evening after work. I have lunch, then a tiny snack, lots of water during the day and during workout. Eat a good lunch with carbs and protein.

I take it as positive thinking, it is better to say for health reasons than for beauty reasons and I do think Megan is beautiful. I am doing it for both, want to be skinny so I can dress up and healthy so I feel well overall.

I have logging for about a week now but because it is mostly same stuff I eat every day, I could do it ahead of time, even working out, the 30d shred, I like it very much, keeps me motivated, especially when I see that I did not exceed my dailly calorie intake and did not use the exercise calories:)

honestly, I did not take it seriously, counting calories, up until this month:) I think I'll stay on MFP for a while and keep counting calories as well as reading labels better and making healthier choices when it comes to grocery shopping.

I like medium, I think, well toned, not flabby. and of course, when I look at guys I always notice if they have a "cute" butt, same with women. Keep in mind they all have different forms, oval, round, semi-oval semi-round:)

I realized not long ago that my eating is emotional. I know lots of stuff around on the topic, etc. etc. but as an individual I was only able to understand it now. I don't know why exactly, I was too lazy or afraid to stop and think or refused to acknowledge it. Now I know when I am upset emotionally, I am in the kitchen,…

hi there, I am in Ottawa, I work out at home, JM's 30d shred, week two started yesterday, feeling good. Haven't lost anything, probably margaritas in the way to success, lol, I am feeling great because of the workouts, though, I try to do the dvd every day. too hot to go for a run...
