I am a slow morning person more at my best in the afternoon and evening. I wish I could work out right after waking up but I can usually barely walk with out running into walls :) Unfortunately my new job requires me to clock in on a "computer" at the beginning and end of every break in my cubicle so leaving work is not an…

Thank you for sharing :) you inspire me :)

It saves me money. ALOT and I find I am not as hungry since I get to eat more and it is easier to stay in my calorie budget. But it is still a work in progress. And when I am in a pinch I dont count it out. I just have my back up plans of what I can eat in the drive thru. I have found coffee drinks like starbucks are the…

I was going to say the same thing. You are eating ALOT of sugar and very little fiber and vegetables. I know how hard it is when a person is busy to not go thru the drive thru every day. I admit I do it often as I work two jobs. And there are not a lot of healthy foods that you can eat on the run. A salad takes time to…

baked potatoes with butter and sour cream. As well as baked goods. Anything with a lot of carbs and fat

I try to find something I can still do to work around the pain. Like yoga, sometimes you have to know your limits or you can really hurt yourself.

I cant really join the debate but wanted to put my opinion. I LOVE meat but I guess I was weird when I was growing up my family would have meals that would be mostly one thing and other days mostly another. For instance sometimes we would have some meals with meat and veggies but no starch and other days a huge salad and…

I try to do some yoga since like you I get really bad cramps and my back will hurt like a ****ens and in addition to that I have allot of problems with tight ligaments that worsens with the hormones. Even yoga can feel very painfull. I dont know about you but I get very tired and weak and ache all over. It is a challenge.…

they have a low calorie section of their menu hope that helps

it is the opposite for me. When I work out, and I always make sure I fuel my work outs by eating before hand. I might not be super hungry for about 3 hours but then I am STARVING. So I always eat a little right after and have a meal planed for later. And if I didnt eat my exercise calories back I would end up way over…

Do you like avocado? I LOVE avocado and would put it on everything if I could. It looks like you eat out alot so I am going to assume you are always busy and on the run like me. You can try buying say muscle milk or naked protein smoothies and drink one as a snack either mid morning or afternoon. You seem to always run…

5 foot 5 inches my ideal weight is 125-135 my stoping point is 130 so a 5lb cushion either way

I am glad I found this post. I ran a search cuz I have this problem and it poses the worst obstacle in my weight loss. I have tried stocking the fridge with easy to eat snacks but low calorie like fat free pudding and sugar free jello. It helps sometimes. But not when left overs are in the fridge or my daughter bakes…

wow that sounds so good! I would totally love that. I am going to try and do a search for a recipe and see if I can find one. Thanks!

my google information is Trisharrell@gmail.com

yes I am. My youngest is 10 and the oldest is 17 but hubby doesnt have any children of his own and wants one. I admit that secretly one of the reasons that I dont want one is I am afraid of what it will do to my body.

actually that is pretty fit and skinny, he had to have been talking to someone else. Not you. I am 5 foot 5 and at 136 I looked tiny I would not worry about it at all. Ignore it. I would have said "Hi falling over obnoxous drunk person whose mother didnt teach them any manners and must be an embarrassment to their family"…

It is human beings not being able to properly judge portions and how much we are eating that got society into the problem it is in today. That and marketing and high volume sales. If restaurants put more food on your plate then they can charge more and it increases there sales and profits. Anyways, I digress. All we are…

Thanks, I will try the freezing the night before tonight and take it to work tomorrow. I do have a refrigerated lunch box but my bottles dont fit in it very well at all. I guess I can take one to work pour it in a cup with a lid and add a little bit of ice and drink it in an hour or two and the other one for the second…

bump I think I want to do this!

OMG your start weight and goal weight are really close to mine. You look awesome! Such an inspiration!

yes everyone says it is 90% diet and only 10% activity. But I notice that I get much better results when I exercise. Maybe it is the reduction in stress hormones. But I have been dieting with out exercise for months and not seeing the progress I want so am going to get back on the horse tonight with 30 day shred

This here. What are you feeling you could do better? Do you think that you could have lost more? Or is it you think you could have eaten more healthy and exercised more? If that is the case then I would just direct your focus. almost 5lbs is an awesome start!

This. I have 3 kids. And my kids dont cheer and jump up and down when I bring home the groceries and there are oreos and other snack foods. For the cheers and excitement I need to bring home asparagus, artichokes, mangoes, nectarines. You know the yummy expensive seasonal fruits and veggies as apposed to spinach and…

SS 158 CW 158 GW 130

I am starting Ripped in 30 Tomorrow and for additional cardio I plan to do jump rope for 30 min starting at 10 min and working up to it along with Yoga for about 20-30 min a day also.

Hi my name is Trish I have been a member for awhile. Joined to loose weight for my wedding in November 2011 and was pretty happy with my sucess. So happy that I stopped logging and the weight has slowly been creeping back on. Part of it was due to stress with my teenage daughter and stress at work I had trouble getting…

YAY! That is a great achievement! Good JOB!

I drink it becouse it tastes better then soy milk and it is better for you as to much soy can be a bad thing. And it has healthy fats for you. I prefer the almond coconut milk blend and the fact that I cant drink regular milk.

ok just becouse you eat more does not mean you are not still at a defcit. It is just some people are eating at a net loss of 1000 calories or more a day. Some people are saying you should only have a deficit of 750 or less. That you will loose more and for a longer period of time that way. I have to say they are probably…
