lol, it really is, isn't it? I would be more involved in the group if it were easier to go to from my homepage. I go to my homepage and get on forums from that and I never see things about groups.

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I don't understand why some men get satisfaction from torturing women. Go get some counseling, it will help you come to terms with it and get you motivated to focus on YOU again. This guy has messed you up.

Or they don't have time because of those darn kids (that they are trying to live long lives for) keep them too busy, lol.

If you weigh yourself every Thursday, why would you torture yourself by weighing right after a bad weekend? Stick to once a week.

Are you trying to lose your LAST 5 pounds? Because if so, that is a very different story. Read Jillian Michaels' "Making the Cut." It's all about losing the last few pounds (which can seem impossible to finally get off).

I find that the cardio intervals are pretty intense, and they're meant to be that way. Breaking up strength training with high intensity cardio intervals burns a ton more calories than just doing the strength training alone. That's how Jillian designed it to be. If it were me, I would do the every other day thing (or break…

I felt uncomfortable in my body and my clothes all the time. I felt gross. Like a lot of people are saying, I didn't want to go shopping and buy a larger size. That was it for me.

I find it better not to deprive myself. I have some days when I go over calories, but most of the time I can fit my treat foods into my calorie allowance. If it makes you feel better, get in a really crazy workout tomorrow!

I wouldn't start something new that's too strenuous if you're already pregnant. That's always the advice I've been given.

The act of sweating doesn't burn a ton more calories or make you lose more weight (actual body fat) than your actual workout. Make sure you are rehydrating and getting enough electrolytes to replace what you've needlessly lost using that suit. Coconut water is a great source of potassium.

I always thought it was interesting that I am told to eat 300 extra calories while pregnant and actually growing my baby, but to eat 500 while breastfeeding! Crazy! Anyway, that's what I've heard the most, that you should eat 500 extra while exclusively breastfeeding. I'm 23 weeks with my first child, so I haven't…

Count fruits!!! I always thought that was crazy that on WW you could eat unlimited fruits. What if someone just ate bananas or grapes or pineapple all day? I mean, they're full of vitamins and are so good for you, but eating them in unlimited quantities will not help weight loss. That is so much sugar, even if it's natural…

You can thank genetics for that one. I know that no matter how much weight I lose, my arms will still look fat compared to everything else (and my boobs will be small). Even though you can't spot reduce fat, your genetics make you hold on to some areas more than others.

What kind of question is this? What weight is best? You realize that women who weight 150 pounds at different heights are going to look completely different. What do you want people to tell you?

I agree with this. And a lot of vegetarians who aren't intelligent about nutrition replace meat calories with a lot of processed foods.

Seriously! I didn't know that people actually did that. So rude!

This sounds like promoting an eating disorder. Dangerous ground. Leaving now.

I can only think of how many lawsuits are going to result from unforeseen side effects...

I'm pregnant! 21 weeks. I exercise when I feel up to it, which is crazy because I was so much more active before getting pregnant and being exhausted all the time. My doc wants me to gain 25 pounds which is scary to me, but I want a healthy baby so I'm going my best to stay healthy now too.

You need to lose weight for yourself, not to make your boyfriend happy (sounds like you don't even need to lose weight, by the way). He's being manipulative...or insecure, I'm not sure which. I wouldn't want to stay with a guy who might cheat with a "skinny girl" the second I gained over 5 pounds.

I imagine that the people who do get offended by this are not on this site. Those who get offended aren't ready to change yet.

Seriously? Yes. It's your fault. You choose who you spend your time with. Looks like you have a decision to make. Keep testing your will power (will power is like a muscle, by the way. Not that it gets stronger, but that the more you work it, the more tired it will get and you WILL give in), or get some new friends. You…

bump for when I need a new show to watch :)

lol

Sorry I can't offer you any advice because I have the same concern-- I'm 16 weeks right now. My doctor wants me to eat 2300, but I'm barely making 2000 most days. Still gaining weight, though. I also go over on carbs because I am eating a TON of fruit! Looking for suggestions as well.

Eventually, they'll want to buy something expensive that they have to save up a couple months' allowance for and they'll learn to discipline themselves if they want it bad enough. I also really appreciate what my parents did for me in teaching me how to manage money: they would sit me down when it was time to distribute…

I think standing on one foot will help, you'll weigh a ton less! (and in case you didn't catch the sarcasm there...whether your boobs are tethered to your chest or hanging loose, they are not going to affect your weight) Weigh yourself at the same time every time, once a week is best to see results and not watching…

I'm just doing what I did before I was pregnant... Jillian Michaels DVDs, but if I progress levels, I use less weight and take it at my own pace. I'm 15 weeks. I would like to do more pregnancy-oriented things, like maybe yoga or something that will help me prepare for labor. I'm sure when I get farther a long, Jillian's…

protein drinks, eggs, yogurt, frozen chicken, frozen veggies, big bag of apples. I think I could get all of that at Costco for $100

Drink enough water so your pee looks like lemonade. Not apple juice...Not coming through as clear as water. It'll be different for every person.
