I count plain water and organic green tea, I don't use sweeteners.

9/13 weight: 180 GW: 152 NSV: lost 1.25 inches I kept up with my exercise, but failed when it came to water. At first I wanted to cry when I weighed in this morning. I had a 4lbs gain, but then I remembered my period is about to come on. I always pack on the lbs during this time of the month, but I want to be honest with…

I don't really consider myself vegetarian either. Although I haven't eaten meat in a very long time, I haven't really given up on meat either. I just don't have the desire for it. When I thought about the vegetarian/Vegan lifestyle I went to a local group to talk about it and they were so mean to me. They kept preaching…

Yet, he continues to eat from there. I still can't believe her compared himself to pregnant women and people with legit disabilities.

OMG! You look like a whole different person. Congratulations!!

My UG is 145. But I'm thinking of taking it down to 140, and maintaining myself between 140 & 145.

The amount of sugar certain fruits contains. Now i stick to mostly berries. Also, the small amount of protein in egg whites. This probably doesn't bother most people. I Eat a omelet at least once a week for breakfast, and I was only eating the egg white for the protein and the small amount of cholesterol. I still use only…

I just found this thread and I am so excited about it. I am on week 2 of Doubles. This is my second round of P90X and I'm hoping that this round is just as awesome as the first. BRING IT!!!

Thank you for sharing your story. To often, we do not take the time to figure out what triggered our love of food that led to the weight gain. It's a emotional process, but so worth it in the end.

It will be a year on MFP next month for me, which means I started my journey when it started getting cold. I worked just as hard during the colder months as I did during the warmer months.

I know that feeling. What I did was start setting short term NSV goals. My first was to work up to drinking 8 glassed of water a day. It amazed me that the more water I took in, the less hungry I was. Then I started to reduce the amount of sweets I ate, next it was adding in more fruits and vegetables, until I was finally…

I had a gain this week. My friend thinks it muscle, but I'm thinking it's because I haven't been drinking enough water and the fact that my cycle starts this weekend. Current Weight (9/9): 178 Weight lost since last week: +2lbs (that almost made me cry) Calories burned since last week: 2,225 Nutrition goal met?? I ate…

LOL!

I am like you. I hated being the cute fat girl. I like guys that are in shape. Of course I was not, so I decided that I could not expect something from someone else that I was not doing for myself. After I lost the first 20lbs I realized that I wanted this for myself. I love the new slimmer me. I have more confidence in…

I've been told by my former trainer to aim for losing weight slowly, and to do strength training. Water is very important as well.

Hi Scott. I'm Angela from Georgia, Savannah to be exact. I had the hungry feeling at first, but it went away after a little over a week. When I would get them, I would drink water (sometimes I would add slices of lemon). If that didn't help, I would chew sugarless gum.

Loving this thread!! :drinker: When I started, I did not log my drinks. But now I do. I don't drink beer, I just don't like the taste of it. Vodka and Tequila are usually my thing. I rotate my daily caloric intake, and I focus on how many calories I eat in a week. So when Friday comes I usually have some wiggle room with…

Loved the chart. I can make my exercise goal, but I am having hard time with the water. I drink two 32oz bottles of water a day, but I find it hard to make it to 10. Any suggestions?

I want to join!! SW:176 GW:152 NSV: drop 2 dress sizes and lose about 6-10 inches total.

Slim Quick was a complete waste of money. I tried it for 2 months. I lost the same amount of weight that I had been losing before I tried it. Alli worked, but the gas and gross slimy BMs were not worth it (sorry so graphic).

I use a heart rate monitor to calculate calories burned.

I'm excited for you. I use P90X also. I started out with 5 lbs and gradually went up. I'm up to 10 lbs now and hope to go up some more.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon! I'm going to Miami for Halloween Weekend and I want to look Fab!!! Current Weight: 176 ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT (for October 28th, the end of our challenge) 156. Pounds to lose: 20. Goals for week 9/5-9/12: Calorie burn: 3,000 (I have a heart rate monitor) Nutrition goal: increase my water intake…

I don't see why so many people are being hard on you about this. I did a fast about 7 months ago that my DOCTOR, yes someone who actually has a medical degree, recommended. It was only for 5 days, but it worked wonders for my digestive system. I did a water fast, which I would not recommend doing without medical…

I found this on the Mayo Clinic website. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/weight-loss-plateau/MY01152
