Here's what you do: SW: 166 CW: 165 GW: 160 Weigh in Dates: 8/1 8/8 8/15 8/22 8/31 Total weight lost: Just for fun: What is one thing you have been wanting to do when you have lost enough weight? I'd love to be able to wear a bathing suit with confidence.

A bit late, but I did them last night!

I'm about 8 hours late, but I did it :bigsmile:

If I had money for the first two, I would love to :laugh: That 3rd one is a bit tricky with 3 kids running around XD I don't think my mom would appreciate watching the kids if I was going out for that one LOL!

Already had a 3 way in my lifetime :laugh: I just got back from taking a poo, thanks :smile: GEOCACHING! I had friends that used to do that all the time, and Jay knows some locations already for us to find. That sounds like a great idea, thanks!

I used to have weight loss goal rewards, but I've been getting some before I hit my goals because I needed them. Things like new sneakers, workout clothes, etc. My first goal, at the end of August if I do well that month, I plan on getting a new hair cut. It's something I desperately need, but it's not going to effect…

Same here. I just got a new account after a long hiatus and started from scratch. So, I'm in the same boat. Adding you! And anyone should feel free to add me, too :D

I think that if you have the will power to cut out junk food completely, just do it. If not, have a treat every once in a while. Don't go overboard! :smile:

I love the Planter's Nut-Trition Wholesome Mix (it has a lot of almonds, some cashews and some macadamias). I usually have an ounce or two with an apple to crave any sweet and salty craving I'm having. Plain, Greek yogurt is good blended with some fruit. Salt free rice cakes with peanut butter and raisins. A protein and a…

I want to lose 4 pounds, strength train more, track my food intake better, and get in 4 days of cardio, minimum.

Doing this one, too! (Just started the crunches one :laugh:)

I got this down! I'm in!

Change it up. Increase your workouts, or, like Mandirella said, get a new workout altogether. Change your eating habits, too. Maybe bringing your calorie intake down to 1400 can make a difference?

No. Stick with the MFP recommendations. Being unhealthy to shed a few extra pounds for vacation is ridiculous. Do it the healthy way and you'll be proud of yourself because you WON'T gain the weight back once you start eating like a normal person again. You'll keep losing.

That's your problem. You want to eat healthy, but you're too lazy to go to the store. Fine. How about he orders himself a grinder, and you get a salad the next time you order out? Pizza places have more than just pizza. Or limit yourself to one slice, and give leftovers to someone not in your house. Or, when you go to the…

Healthy alternatives can be delicious. People are just ignorant and lazy, in general, hence the obesity epidemic. Not the fact that healthy food doesn't taste as good. If it doesn't, you're doing it wrong.

:laugh: That was my first response. If Jay (my hubby) told me I had to cook for a dinner he wanted to cook, I'd laugh and sit in my sweats all day and watch him panic to get everything done. Why? Cause he should have said, "Hey, I was thinking about throwing a dinner party, and would love it if you cooked with me." And…

OMG. Cooking Light. Their magazines are like bibles to me. So many good recipes :bigsmile:

It's not that bad an issue. People interchange "diet" and "lifestyle change." To her guests it would be "diet food" because, chances are, they're not worried about eating healthy and making healthful choices.

Right on! However, when I know I'm going out, I make room for at least ONE drink :laugh:

Just cause she has what you want doesn't mean she has to like it. As far as diet food, a huge salad to start is typical for before the main course yet not "diet food" if you don't make it so. For dinner, a grilled meat, some roasted veggies, etc are all healthy, but no one perceives them as diet food unless they're aiming…

Tell your husband if he wants a dinner party so bad, he can cook it himself. It makes you anxious, uncomfortable, and you don't want to do it, but he's insisting? Fine. Make him cook everything.

That's a shame :ohwell: I'm going to be 23, so I'm getting in shape now, and moisturizing, drinking plenty of water, and eating healthy so I can have both when I'm older. But, honestly, I don't care if I get wrinkles. I mean, come on! Laugh lines? Crow's feet? I think they're adorable.

I have a "cheat day". It's when I don't actively monitor how much I'm eating, but I'm still eating healthy. Like, I'll still have a salad for lunch, but I might actually use dressing. Or I might have some chocolate covered nuts before bed. Small things like that that won't ruin my whole day, but I still feel like I'm…

I was going to suggest plain, nonfat Greek yogurt. The sugars are usually low, the protein high, and still good for you. Besides, the sugars in regular flavored yogurt are ridiculously high. Come to think of it, I don't recall high sugars in light yogurts, but they use artificial sweeteners.

Serve yourself maybe? Personally, when family tries to put me down with the healthy eating habits, I just look at their plates, cringe, and continue being awesome :smile:

Don't even think about it. You probably won't see a change the first couple weeks. You're putting your body into overtime. And your muscles retain water with a lot of strength training, which P90X is. Measure/weight yourself after a rest day. Personally, I would only weight myself once a month because you're bound to see a…

Could be water weight, could be hormones. I know around my time of the month, I bloat up like there's no tomorrow, and "gain" 4 pounds. If it's hormones, it's just something you have to wait out (or Google some home remedies to relief the bloating). If it's water weight, start watching your sodium intake. A package of…

That's cause Domino's pizzas are shipped to them frozen and all they do is add the toppings before putting it in the oven. At least here they do!

I can't get enough of the chicken wings. I had 14 in a single meal once :blushing: Chocolate is amazing. We just got a bag of those Hershey Kisses Air Delights, and I love them :D
