Thanks!! I can't wait. We fly to Barcelona on Friday morning. Wooo Hooo!! Unfortunately, I won't be able to weigh in for like 3 weeks!!! After the cruise, we are flying back to the US for a wedding. It will be a busy couple of weeks and I won't be near a scale. However, I have packed my exercise clothes and I am determined…

Thanks for the pep talk. I had a bad day yesterday. Today WILL be better!

Good Morning Blues! I had a bad day yesterday - but I've already moved on. I exercised to the 30 day shred this morning, I have a spinning class tonight. I have my meals planned out for the entire day. Today WILL be a better day!

I'm not really sure how to set a realistic goal weight. I figure if its in the "range" for your height than your ok. I've set a body fat % goal though. I am currently at 26% and I'd like to get down to 24%. I'm not muscular at all and I'm not interested in being under 20% - so 24% should do. Also, about the plateau... I…

Does Biggest Loser's Cardio Max require weights?? I am searching for a DVD without a dumbbell requirement so that I can do it while on travel with a portable DVD player.

Wooo hooo!! New Bikini!! I put one on for the first time in a long time this past weekend. I felt pretty good in it too!! :bigsmile:

j_g4ever - I'm concerned about you... in the ER, Doctor's not sure, gained 10 lbs.... could be thyroid?? I don't know, but maybe worth some more doctor visits. Take care of yourself and listen to your body. almomay - Great job getting your school work done. Always feels great to finish a project and submit it. And a 30 day…

Crap, I didn't realize we have a new thread started.... this is what I posted in the other one..... ellipse22 - to support the "getting to know" everyone phase of our new group - I thought it might be interesting to post your personal weight lose story. I'll start... I've gained and lost 40 lbs twice. However, the last…

ellipse22 - to support the "getting to know" everyone phase of our new group - I thought it might be interesting to post your personal weight lose story. I'll start... I've gained and lost 40 lbs twice. However, the last time I lost the 40 miserable lbs, I kept it off for about 3 years. Then I met the man of my dreams, got…

chrissyh - CONGRATS!!!

I'd like to join as well. My name is Tara and I have 10 more before I hit my goal. I do expect this 10 to be the hardest. Recently I've stared paying close attention to my macro-nutrients (carb, protein, fat, fiber, sodium). I weigh myself everyday to see how foods effect my body... I track my weight daily.

I recently picked up Body Fortress™ Milk & Egg Protein Strawberry. I mix it with 1/4 C of strawberries and 1 Cup skim milk. Tastes like a more liquidly milk shake! I purchased it at a health foods store in Bicester, EN. They staff informed me that the Milk and Egg protein would be easier for my body to digest. Also, it was…

Great job this week blues! Lets keep it going. I am loving all the information about carbs and ketosis... keep us in the loop tttthumper and Almomay.

Hello Blues! I am taking advantage of the Presidents Day Federal Holiday and I prepared lunches for the next two days. Yum!! I am ready to start this week out well. Peter - you are right! we don't need carbs as much as I thought. And I'm realizing how sensitive my body is to carbs. One night of too many carbs = at least 1…
-
Happy Valentine's Day Blues!! Hope you all are having a good one. Did an extra long workout today. An hour run + 25 mins on elliptical to help compensate for our dinner out tonight. almomay - when I was in grad school, I used to uncontrollably snack when I studied. I think it was anxiety. Take it one day at a time. I've…

consider reducing your carbs and upping protein/fat. I've recently been watching my carbs and it really has shocked my system, my weight has steadily decreased this week. Just a thought.
-
lcorrell14 - I'm not the most knowledgeable but my suggestion would be to find consistency. Pick a calorie threshold and try your best to stick with it. I know it is really hard with social gatherings... planning is necessary. I would also be completely disheartened with a 4 lb increase, but you can't let go now. You know…

Nice Job Peter!!! Kickin @$$ and takin' names!

bump.... I'm gonna try these this weekend. Thanks

Spouse, boyfriend, random dude you sometimes hang out with... whatever works. :bigsmile:

Welcome katattack! You can definitely join our thread. We weigh in on Mondays... so next Monday send Debnu your weight via private message. Congrats on finishing a half-marathon - that is major!!

tttthumper - I am still working on the 40,30,30. I am working on finding quick and easy meals I can cook. Its only been a couple of days, but I plan to stick with it as much as I can to see how I feel after a week. So far so good. almomay - good luck with the snow. I know DC has been shut down all week long. Valentine's…

I've never heard of Carb cycling. Thanks for the tip. I am just recently staring to lower my carbs to see how it effects my body. I am working on the 40/30/30 ratio. So far so good, looking at different recipes online to make quick, easy dinners. Do you have any suggestions?
-
almomay - your success with reducing your carbs is very motivating to me. I am still working on it but I will keep at it. I think its important to find ways to incorporate a diet into a lifestyle - I need to find ways to make it work for me and not feel deprived. tttthumper - thanks for all the information. I recently…

nettiemacd - your arms look fantastic!!! A lot of hard work must have gone into them.
