Bump!

I recently bought the new Jwoww lotion, a bit pricy but I really like it and it smells like skittles!

I agree that sodium is the only one you really should watch out of those 3. I try and eat high protein and go over by quite a bit every day and fiber is good for you too. Just make sure if you are eating over your sodium you are drinking more water to flush it out.

I didnt get the morning sickness at all with my first but had it pretty bad with my 2nd... peppermint candies, lemon candies, ginger tea, ginger ale and saltines. One of my friends had it super bad and she used the motion sickness bracelets and said that they helped a little but she was soo bad she became dehydrated all…

The only wy to really know for sure is to purchase a hert rate monitor with watch and chest strap as they are the most accurate. I have a polar ft4 and love it! I like knowing what I'm burning because everyone's body is different and MFP's calculations are just a general estimation.

I'm 5'6" and my ultimate goal is 135-140 but I don't want to look sickly. I couldn't tell you the last time I was that weight and do t even know how I would look. I'm aiming right now for 150 and will re-evaluate once I get there. If I'm happy with how I look and feel then the number doesn't matter as much. Good luck!

I read you should try to have no more than 2 yokes a DAY but as much whites as you want. Yea to eggs tho, lots of protein!

Bump!

I'm a hairstylist and I won't lecture you on going to a salon because I understand money is tight, please please please at least go to Sally beauty supply and get decent salon quality color. You will spend the same amount as box color but quality is much better!

My starting weight was 208 and I want to get down to 140ish. I use a Polar FT4 and it cost me about $90 or so. It does have a chest strap which has a transmitter on it. The HRMs with a chest strap are more accurate than just the watches because they have a more accurate reading of your heart. I love my HRM. I hope this…

Are you drinking enough water? I know that when I dont drink 8+ glasses a day I retain water really bad. Also, you said you are sticking around 1200 calories but are you eating healthy foods or junk foods?? Is it around that time of month? Do you measure your foods with a food scale or are you just "eye balling" it?…

You need a filler put on your hair first because being that your hair is already colored and soo light it is going to suck the color and it will pull the warmth so yes you may end up with a funky color.... I would go to Sally Beauty Supply and ask for help finding the right products OR your best bet would be to have it…

Muscle weighs more than fat. You should take body measurements to see if your losing inches because you could be losing the fat but gaining muscle.

Well it's thwt TOM and I had an awful binge weekend :( up from 189.6 last week to 194.2 :((((. Back at it strong today tho and my plan for workouts this week is to get in JM 30 Day Shred. And if I have the time I will throw in my kickboxing bootcamp a few times.

Thanks for sharing!!

Bump!

I want one!!! Soooooo cute!!!!

QOD: my favorite or go to workout.... I would have to say my 10 minute soultion kick boxing bootcamp. I usually do all 5 ten minute workouts together. I usually see a good calorie burn with that one and it work every area if you do all 5!

I lost 9 lbs in my first week of cycle 1, it is typical to see big losses like this :). I feel soo much better after starting this it's amazing! Keep up the great work!

QOD: Dream Job.... I have always (since I was a little kid) wanted to be a dolphin trainer :)

I was technically over weight when I got pregnant with my first (weighing 184) he just turned 2 in August. I got pregnant with my 2nd last November and at the time I was down to 191. I gave birth to my 2nd son 11 weeks ago and this morning weighed in at 190.6!!! It's defiantly not easy but my goal is to get to 135-140. If…

Not sure how many of you out there have the book so I thought I would also share that it recommends that you don't eat your fruit servings after 2 pm.

I found a hot green tea by Lipton that is caffeine free. It's green tea with pomegranate and blackberry. Super yummy. The book also says that first thing in the morning before you eat you should have 1 cup of hot water with a half of lemon squeezed in it (or I read online you can substitute the half lemon for a tablespoon…

LW: 199.6 CW: 190.6 Can I just say I LOVE the 17 day diet and will recommend it to anyone!!!! I have been eating my allowed calories everyday this week and I have not Beene hungry but was still able to lose 9 lbs thanks to the 17 day diet. QOTD: what is your favorite clean meal?

Steph- Thank you! Things are better between my fiancé and I, not totally resolved but it's a work in progress and I can be happy with that. I have been doing my best with the 17 DD, no cheating even tho there have been many temptations. I just keep my eye on the prize! You can do it, again a quote I love by (but forgot to…

SW: 190.6 GW by Christmas/new years: 170 Let's get it!

Look into a book called The 17 day diet. Simply making and has helped me soo much. It's not really a diet but a life style change and puts you thru 4 different cycles. You are restricted to what you eatin the first 3 cycles but not soo much that you are ever hungry. You get to add foods in during cycles 2 and 3 that you…

Good morning everyone!!! Highs and lows day! I'm feeling amazing this morning and will have to say that my all time high this week was stepping on the scale to see 193!!! Started the week at 199.6! The 17 day diet is working wonders. I feel better all around. Low for the week is the fact that I haven't been able to work…
