LOL! The first place I lose weight is in my collar bones/rib cage....NOT where it needs to come from! Good luck to you all!

Yes, I would rather "hide" my fat in my thighs than elsewhere. I think you can get away with a lot more as a pear shape than an apple shape. My mom is an apple shape while I'm a pear shape and she has a really hard time finding clothes that are flattering. And swimming suit season is never fun to think about! Good luck to…

1. Natural peanut butter (I eat a little EVERY day)! 2. Coffee with lots of cream....no sugar!! 3. A good chuck full of lots and veggies salad with lite ranch dressing

Well, I took a pregnancy test today and it was negative, which surprised me because I've had all the symptoms of being pregnant. However, that time of the month is still at least 4 days away, so I'm still holding out hope that I'll get two pinks lines!

Also, I do NOT buy bars or supplements online. I want to eat real food! I eat very healthily and take a good multi-vitamin. I feel great!

I am doing Power 90 which came out before P90X and have taken it and basically adapted it to my lifestyle. Power 90 is very similar to P90X with the exception that P90X is more intense. I started with Power 90 and will work my way to the X because I play tennis on average 3-5 times a week and get a lot of cardio that way.…

Yep! I just have to get up and brush myself off! That's really all I can do. I'm not going to stress about it or beat myself up about it too much because I knew going into this, that I'd have days like today. So, tomorrow is a new day and things will be fine. On a good note, I had an excellent start to my school year and…

Thanks ladies! I'm lacing up my tennis shoes now to take my wonderful dog for an hour walk and then maybe I'll do a little strength training when I get back!

Well, I made up for my bad eating today by playing a 3 hours singles match in 95 degree weather. I'm so tired! I burned more calories today then I'd eat in 2 days!

I have a really hard time doing the 6 small meals a day because I crave "real" food that you can get by having a meal. By a real meal I mean something like a piece of grilled chicken and two vegetables. I usually eat 3 meals a day with breakfast being pretty small and then I have two snacks. You have to do what is best for…

For some reason, the 160s are hard numbers for me to break through too! I'm just getting back in shape and trying to get back down to 155. I can get out of the 170s, but the second I hit the 160s, I put it back on it seems! I'm just going to to keep trying and really monitor my food. Good luck!

Thanks for all the encouragement!

I think all the low carb diets have really made us over conscious on sugar. You're not going to convince me that a tomato is bad for me because it is high in sugar. I'm not going to deprive myself of yummy fruits and veggies because they happen to contain natural sugar. I think refined sugar and sweets should be cut out…

What a jerk! I can't believe that he said that to you! Keep up the hard work and don't let him get you down.

Don't worry! It's just a little bump in the road but you will prevail!

20carrots, I'm in the same boat with you on the baby thing! My husband and I have decided to start a family in the near future and for the last 6 months I've used that as an excuse to not lose the 20 extra pounds I've picked up. However, we've actually backed up our baby making plans partly because I wanted to be in top…
