I won't say anything about being in a Starvation Mode, but when you're burning alot of calories and sticking to eating a low NET amount of calories, you could end up binge eating because you're calorie deficient and starvin like Marvin. By then, at least for me, I binge on carbs because they're so TASTY! I've done it more…

I have her DVDs too, mostly the 5 mile ones. She always say it the beat of the music that you follow and not how many steps you take. So don't worry about what your fitbit or whatever you're using to count the miles on because it will NEVER equal to miles. Just get a HRM to count your calories burned and just take Lesile…

Turbo Fire 60 Class.

Ditto, Ditto, Ditto on the Polar FT4. I bought my on Amazon.com around last Christmas for like $48 when they were on sale for Christmas. Basic, easy to use, and Reliable.

I've most about 24 pounds. I went from 168 to 144, a size 14 to an 8. Only 2 people noticed out of the 150 people I work with, LOL!

I lost 25 pounds. So I went from a size 12 to a size 8.

It was Turbo Fire for me, but I'm pretty much addicted to the thought of exercise because it's just fun or me and I like seeing my progression while I'm losing weight. Trust me, your addiction to Insantity will eventually wane. I love doing Turbo Fire, but there are certain workout DVDs that I dread doing, but do it so I…

Maybe working out at home might be a better option for you. I'm a single mom of a 4 year old and I used to work out at the gym, but now I do Turbo Fire and to a bunch of other workout DVDs. It fits into my schedule and I don't have to go out of my way to go to a gym. I work out 6 to 7 days a week. Takes longer to burn the…

I feel you, but I think your Grandfather will want you to think about him, but focus on keeping yourself healthy and strong. I lost my mom like 15 years ago, and the one thing I promised her was that I was gonna get married in a church in a white dress to a good guy. Well, that time as come and it's happening this August.…

I've tried PB2 and it's not very good. Maybe I bought a crappy jar of it. The idea of powdered peanut buter is great for baking and shakes. I'm also addicted to peanut butter, raisins and milton's double fiber bread. I eat one serving everyday for dessert. I LOVE Peter Pan, Whipped peanut butter. 150 calories per serving.…

Sometimes, if you lose X.5 pounds. It will round up to the nearest number. Not sure why MFP sticks to Whole numbers, but they do.

^This^ Eventually, you'll have to start eating real food eventually.

I do it everyday. Sounds crazy, but it helps me keep accountability. I weight myself before and after my workouts, then I log it on to my calendar to keep track of my weight fluctuation trends. It kind of helps me predict if I'll lose weight that week or stay stagnite. It's overkill, I know. But I'm trying to lose weight…

Turbo Fire (advanced) for me. Big calorie burner for me and I love how I feel afterwards.

I think you need to find the right one. I've been on ortho-tricyclen, demulen, tri-leven, tri-vora. Those weren't so bad. I had also used the Meridia IUD, also Ocella. Both BAD for me. I recently started ortho-tricyclen-lo starting last august 2013. that was after I quit being on bring control for a few months to regulate…

Sorry to tell you that you're gonna lose your boobs. Boobs have alot of fatty tissue. I lost 22 pounds and went from D/DD or a C. They won't get any smaller than that even if I did lose more weight. It's all genetics. If you like them so much, then get implants after you lose weight. I personally a glad my D/DDs are gone…

Birthday last November 2013. The lodge I was spending the weekend in for my birthday celebration gave me three free red velvet cup cakes. I also ate alot of pie and ice cream that weekend. When I got home and saw my fat potruding belly in the mirror from a weekend of glutony, I decided I needed to change my lifestyle.…

I think everyone has a binge over once and while. Especially when you're missing carbs. I have a day here and there where binge too. I don't feel guilty about it anymore because I know how hard working. I just move on to the next day and get back on track. Last night, I was super tired. I didn't workout because I knew I…

I only have one 4.5 years ago. I don't plan on having anymore since I will be 40 this year. I just lost the 60 pounds I gained from him this past weekend. The first 40 came off with no problem. My struggle was the last 20. I didn't have time and I wasn't dieting correctly. I didn't know how to diet correctly until I joined…

I tried powdered peanut butter once. Just add water to the powder. Really, really low in calories. I can't remember the brand. I still have it, but it was disgusting. It's best used for shakes or baking. I used Peter Pan Whipped Peanut Butter. 150c per serving. I eat it everyday. It's kind of my guilty pleasure with…

I'm 5'4, 146. I started off at 168. Trying to get to at least 140. I set my macro on MFP to 40 percent carbs, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fat. I burn about between 650 to 800 every day. I workout everyday 1.5 hours. I eat about 140 grams of protein a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. Probably about 200 grams of…

I got a 20 pound weighted vest. I found that to be PLENTY. It by ZFO Sports. I got it off Amazon. I've used it with those 5 miles advance walk DVD by Leslie Sansone and I since I just got the vest, I reduced the weights to 8 pounds to start off with and I'll eventually work my way up to 20, but WOW with 8 pounds, I really…

Don't feel discouraged. I usually gain about 5 pounds around "that time of the month." Just keep focused, stick to your diet plan and your fitness plan and you'll notice a weight loss the next week. That's what happens to me. Drink alot of water. It will help flush out the excess water in your system. Sounds crazy, but it…

Someone else asked for help too about losing weight fast. Something about trying to lose 20 pounds in one month for her wedding. I wonder how she's doing?

I like the Polar FT4. Basic. Counts calories burned and measures your heart rate.

I know one someone who is a BB Coach and I was like how? You're still overweight.

It looks like we have the same body shape especially thighs. My body fat is distributed evenly throughout my body. I started off at 168, and now I'm about 150. I started off in a size 14 now to a size 8 jeans with still another 10 pounds or so to go. Well unfortunately, my thighs are still "Big" just a smaller version of…

I second the FT4. You can get it off of Amazon for a pretty good price. I'll upgrade after it dies on me.

Kelly Coffey-Meyer makes weight lifting DVD for women using free weights. You use 7, 10, 12, and 15 pounds depending on your level of fitness. I have about 7 of her DVDs. Some of them are mixed with some cardio moves for about three minutes and then switches to weight training. I started using them in December 2013 and I…

I agree, with the above posts. See a doctor first to make sure you're doing okay.
