Hi!! My name is Drea and I just got done reading the book. I was a huge fan of "Extreme Makeover - Weight Loss Edition" and after seeing Chris Powell on Dr. Oz I just knew that this Plan would be for me. I have a really bad habit of self sabbotage and I can lose/gain weight extremely fast which can be a good/bad thing.…

That it's impossible to kiss your elbow...

Fvaisey - I love your sense for adventure..

I hear ya! My Husband thinks he is supportive but is the first to dig an effin fast food coupon out of the trash if my fatty self says "I'm craving something bad". Sometimes I need some effing motivation dammit! He claims he just wants to see me "happy". UGH!

Hi! Just to let you know a lot of people believe in eating back the calories and it works for some. Unfortunately I always go back and forth on the question. I can see how it would help because then your body is starving for those calories but then I kind of think well why in the hell would i workout and burn calories and…

If there was a magic pill to make me thin but it had horrible side effects - I would take it because there are pills out there that would take care of those side effects. lol

OK

That if you swallowed watermelon seeds that a watermelon would grow in your stomach... That once upon a time there was a mexican lady that had a daughter and the daughter really wanted a cat. The lady got a cat for her daughter and the girl accidentally swallowed a cat hair. The cat hair got caught in her liver and she…

It should be ok if the sugar came from your fruit in the morning. It is "hidden" sugar that you should worry about. Just to e careful not to over due it on fruit. Some people just hear that they "shouldn't" worry about fruit and over due it. It actually can cause weight gain if you are not too careful.

Wow 10 net carbs?! I used to do 20 net carbs but I don't know if I could do 10. Maybe it's just bloating from the carbs? Sometimes I tend to feel like that if I've eatin too many carbs. I've heard that if you keep your carbs too low that it could mess around with your body's reaction to carbs. I have found this a little…

WTF!!! It's not a Planet?!?! Why'd I have to learn about it then?? I still don't belive you..

@ipuffyheartco....probably not

@AlliCat - Love your hair in your current pic

Well if you are starting off then I would start with the Treadmill and work your way up to the elliptical. If you are buying one then go for the elliptical. You can burn a lot more calories on the elliptical if you work your arms as well. I have an elliptical and I love it.

I'm offended because your hair looks great!

I'm sorry! I feel for you on the Husband thing..I'm sure if my Husband knew how to cook I would still be 320lbs (probably 321). lol. BTW don't compare yourself to famous people!!! I don't know of one famous person on MFP and if you do then have them add me dammit! lol. In all seriousness - they may be just people but they…

You're not eating enough so therefore when you do eat enough your body is holding onto it because it was in starvation mode. Eat more (eat clean of course) and keep working out. Also, try drinking half your body weight in water.

As many has said, the elliptical only gets your heart rate up and there for burns fat/calories but does not "tone". If you want to tone try Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred. You will not lose too much weight but you will "tone" your body. BTW - I have an elliptical and I love it.

It actually helps with your hunger BUT if you eat too little while on them then you will more than likely gain it all back plus some when off of them. My sister tends to go on and off those types of pills for short term weight loss. A healthy lifestyle is truly the way to go for permanent loss. :happy:

Hi! I like to do my cardio first thing in the morning and I typically eat right afterwards. It may be a myth but I have always heard to eat after your cardio due to the fact that you're still burning calories from the workout. It has worked for me.

I LOVE avocados as well. I actually eat one a day (1/2 in morning & 1/2 @ lunch). In regards to fat burning, read this ~~> http://bkcreative.hubpages.com/hub/Rev-Up-Your-Metabolism-with-Avocado I have found that avocados actually help with keeping my hunger at bay and I'm all for any benefits they have to offer me. :happy:

I watched that BL episode this morning. I think maybe they are saying that the Almond Breeze is a better choice than 2% Milk. It may or may not be but it really all depends on what works for you.

I miss this. Sonic was my all time favorite!!!

Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch Forever!!!!!! *Yes I eat it until it hurts the roof of my mouth. lol But it hurts soo good. lmao!

You're only eating around 850 calories a day?! I would be starving!! Ditto on the eat more.

I really love the 30 Day Shred! It is a really good workout. The only thing is that you may lose inches vs. weight. Some people measure their success by what the scale says but when it all comes down to it we all just wanna fit into a really cute pair of jeans. Don't get discouraged if you only lose a few pounds at the…
