Good morning, I'm new to this group. Have been following "Joel" for a while, on and off....Hit it hard about a week ago and am doing the 6 week aggressive start....Once I made it through the detox symptoms from the caffeine withdrawal, I was good to go. I am just getting back on mfp after a long absence, my niece wanted…

Keep up the great work, you look so happy!

I had it too, I tried everything and then someone on here suggested I try accupuncture....I tried it and I've been pain free ever since, it took 6 sessions, but it was worth every needle and every dime. That was a year ago......It's actually quite relaxing and although a little uncomfortable at first, doesn't really hurt.…

Happy Birthday Aiden.......Your daughter is precious....... Stay on track for your wife and daughter and for YOU! God Bless.

If you are looking for a good book to read regarding healthy eating and strength training and cardio training, pick up a copy of Body for Life, they are all over the used book stores. Great info and there is a companion "Eating for Life" cookbook that has some really good recipes in it........

I agree with waitingtobere ..... You do not need dairy to be healthy, it makes choices easier for protein (greek yogurt and cottage cheese), but you don't need it. You can easily get calcium and other vital nutrients from other foods. I personally love almond milk.....unsweetened......40 calories, it's delicious. Best of…

It can take your body up to 4 days to start burning fat again after drinking alcohol. I'm not saying you can't lose weight, but it takes a while for the body to process the alcohol and while it's doing that, it doesn't burn fat.

I was in Columbus yesterday morning (6 am), went into class and it was not snowing, roads were fine......out at 7 am.....snowy, icy roads.....161 East was a mess...... But, beautiful sunny weather today!!!!!!

I have tried both, for me......I prefer Yoga, I do Hatha yoga for stretching, flexibility, balance and breathing. If you are struggling with back issues, I would suggest you meet with a certified yoga instructor or pilates instructor before you start out........you can seriously hurt yourself if you do some of the poses…

There is a Northstar on High Street in the Short North and there is one at Easton, those are the only two I know about in the Cbus area. I live in Licking County, so it's about 25 mins to get to Columbus for me....There is a new restaurant in New Albany that I want to try, they use all local produce and serve a lot of…

Those are wonderful results! You look so awesome!!

I love the Northstar cafe....I can never decide what to get! Haven't tried Edamame, but have heard it's really good. Need a trip to Trader Joe's soon, so maybe I'll check it out.

Dave, wonderful job on the 35 lbs so far......What a wonderful gift you are giving your girls by becoming healthy and taking charge of your life! Feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

sounds yummy.... I have some PB2 will try this tomorrow!

Wow! You are on a roll! Wonderful results! I bet you are so proud!:glasses:

It's a Jillian Michael's DVD, they are available at Walmart and Target (that's where I've seen them) for about 10 bucks. I have the 30 day Shred and it's a good workout, it progresses in levels.....it's quick and you break a sweat..... I think you can use this in combo w/ running or other cardio.

I would love to be included in the facebook group. Would you send me a link? I am on day 13, cycle 1.

woo hoo! to Lad!

you are doing so well!

Yes! Back on Track :noway: Morning going well............how is everyone doing?

Fantastic!

Well, I slipped up over the weekend and had a glass of merlot.......a big glass...............food was ok. Exercise was just a walk. Will get myself back on track for the remainder of this!

Keep us posted if you find some good recipes....I am at the same point.

Good Morning 17 DD'ers! I had a few slip ups yesterday.......did not get all of my water in, did not get all of my green tea..........ate some hummus....I was unprepared to be away from home so long. Preparation, I'm finding out is the key to success on this diet....especially the first cycle which is more restrictive.…

Cycle 1 Day 5 How is everyone doing today? The last time I did Cycle 1, I found day 5 to be the hardest for some reason, this time .... so far so good! Had a nice lady (90) offer me some gum drops and pie at work and I politely declined :) Now, last week, I would have taken them with the intention of giving them to the…

That is awesome! Keep at it girl! 10 lbs in a month is absolutely do-able! You are rocking it! I am also on Day 4 and I think this is gonna be a great day, hope to get my exercise in this evening......and I didn't have my lemon water this morning....out of lemons.... Have a great one!

The one's around here (Ohio) are 45- 55/ hr. based on what you want.

It's the 17 Day Diet, book featured on Oprah, Dr. Phil and the Doctors. Basically, each cycle is 17 Days. It's all clean eating, limiting carbs the first 17 days, slowing adding them back in the next 17 days. Cycle 1 is fresh veggies (cleansing vegetables), fish and chicken and fruit, along w/ probiotic ~ (kefir) greek…

Feel free to add me!

I did day one today and would love to join your group. I am also doing C25K every other day........Going to see how this goes for a while.....!
