Yay it's not just me!!! I have an appt with my dr tmrw so I will talk to her about exclusions?? I know anything with a lot of beta carotene in it is a distaster to me (carrots, squash, apricots, basically anything orange!) which is sad because they are my FAVORITE! Hopefully I will find out exactly what is going on so I…

I'm in healthcare and I can tell you all the evidence points to NOT going over your recommended protein. You can actually go into renal failure and die from too many protein shakes (okay, this is a little melodramatic but seriously it can happen!!).

Honestly a lot of the reason I have been measuring is to let my doctor know how ridiculous my bloating actually is so that I come in with actual facts and numbers. But I couldn't believe it when I measured : /

Oh I know that, I just want to know how people deal with feeling like a giant pregnant balloon every flipping day!!! Seriously I have patients at my work who ask me if I'm pregnant ALL THE TIME. And I don't wake up looking that way! It's so discouraging.

I work in a long term care facility and I can tell you many of our residents are overweight or obese!!! MANY!

I'm a raisin bran girl, but I usually have 1.5cups, then with my skim milk I'm pushing nearly 500 calories already.. Plus I find if I eat at six even though, yes, it's fibre, I am STARVING by ten. STARVING. I'm starting to rethink my breakfasts, personally. But seriously... love cereal.

I would love to do this but I work shiftwork so somedays 7pm-7am is most of my awake time!! Does anyone else have a really hard time eating properly on shift work?? I find on the night shift I am WAY under on my calories but on days I'm up longer and end up eating more, and on evenings I come home starving and raid the…

It's totally normal for your weight to change throughout the day - this is why it's ideal to weigh yourself first thing after your morning pee : ) Mainly I think it has to do with all your fluids... I can weigh up to 4lb more before bed than in the morning, and I fluctuate throughout the day, but I drink a lot of fluids…

I love this so much.

Instead of eating my whole lunch at 10pm or 1pm (I work 7-3 most of the time and these are the only times I get my break...), I usually will bring a sandwich and a protein bar or weight loss shake and have the shake/bar at 10am and the sandwich at 1pm, or even vice-versa.. basically instead of one really big lunch I break…

: )

Oh also.. no she does NOT weigh less than me. My starting weight was 193; hers is 155 or so. Which means apparently she's like 140-ish now. So figure that out.

On a happy note the gym scale finally broke the 10lb mark today. It's like the gym gods read my rantfest and replied.

I am logging everything, with the occasional missed day. The cheesecake was an example - we had it for valentine's day while my friend complained over fb about not having candy. I generally have good days and bad days - eg. Tuesday I was 316 calories UNDER, Thursday I was 250 calories over, Sunday 500 under, last Friday…

Thanks for this!!! My scale has been going from 183-185 for about two weeks now, I'm going CRAZY!!! This makes me feel soooo much better that I'm not the only one!!

Same... I work all three shifts so I just base "breakfast, lunch and dinner" on when they are in my work day. Works for me!

Agreed!!

I'm doing the one in Barrie as well!! I can't wait... although I'm scared of the fire obstacle!!

My trainer has me do a five-minute warm-up on the elliptical then we go into weights. We basically jump around for the whole hour between weights and cardio... and I generally sweat like a typhoon throughout the whole thing... when you're big it feels like EVERYTHING is cardio!! So far it's been working for me : )

Exactly what I was going to say!!! It really works but if you don't stick with it the side effects are TERRIBLE.

These all sound amazing!! Bumping so I can have the recipes too : )

Every morning. And usually every night too. I like to know how much I'm fluctuating throughout the day... sometimes it's 2-3lbs.

I'd like to join too!!! I'm a newbie at challenges as well... looking forward to it : )

Amazing job!!!

I had this problem too, and it was made worse by the fact that I'm a nurse and I do shiftwork... I got referred by my GP to a sleep study and found out that while I thought maybe I had sleep apnea, I actually have something called hypersomnia... basically just means your body is MESSED up.. they now have me on a stimulant…

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure the golden rule is that 1lb of fat loss = -3500 calories So. Not really, because you're looking at maybe -600 between the two days. But really it depends on your body, what you've been eating, what amount of water you're retaining, etcetc, so you never know. They scale could still tell you…

I'm super picky too!! Hate a lot of veg (esp onions, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, etcetc)... Not a huge fan of foreign foods such as thai, mexican, indian, etc)... hate things that are too spicy.. I do have certain foods I LOVE that I could eat every day... canned beets soaked in vinegar... dill pickles (sodium…

I'm having the same problem. I've been working with a trainer 2x a week and I lost 8lb in the first three weeks, suddenly three of those lbs are back even though I've upped my workouts to 3x a week with a trainer (total of six days a week since the end of december)... I have cut out fast food (although today I gave in cuz…
