I eat mostly organic and non processed foods, it's not expensive if you actually cook. I only shop on the outer aisles of the supermarket and if you eat proper portions it's completely do-able. The crap and garbage in the middle is expensive. As for you say you are allergic. Were you actually diagnosed by a doctor with an…

My Ex used to tell people he was a vegetarian, but really he ate like a 7yr old spoiled brat!! He didn't eat ANY meat. He would eat: Pizza, French Fries, Ketchup, Rice, Oreos, Cheerios, Pineapple, Pasta with RAGU only. One time we went to eat at an Italian restaurant (only place he would go eat because god forbid I could…

Depends on how sugars affect your body. Everyone is different. Don't listen to the people who say "it's only a calorie deficit". Everyone's body is different. With me, one cookie can sabotage me. So I try to not indulge because I know the repercussions. Try a week or two without your sugary indulgence and see how your body…

Number one thing I do when I feel that way is to whine to my friends on MFP. Surprisingly it works. They are incredibly supportive and give me that extra push that I never had before. I don't link my MFP to my facebook because some of my friends would just grow tired of it, but most people here are in the same boat and are…

I pay $47 a month for my gym (the competition is 25 and 10), but it's so close to my house (walking distance). I don't buy many supplements other then some protein powder. I think I paid $50 for 5lbs and it's lasted me 2 months. And daily multivitamin as well.

I watch random Showtime series on my iPad (free wifi at my gym!) and wait for the guy next to me on the treadmill to see some boobies and almost fall. But thats only doable for cardio. When I lift, it's hard rock all the way.

I have cut out a ridiculous amount of sugar out of my diet. And contrary to some people's beliefs sugar 100% hinders my weight loss. If I even have a cookie, I can screw myself up. My body does not metabolize sugar very well at all. I have played around for years and I have been able to figure out what my trigger is. I…

Yes it will go up as well. I do not know the formulas that they use, but they do increase proportinate to the amount of exercise.
-
You are an amazing inspiration to go through all of that and not lose focus!! I have torn ligaments in my ankle and I was out for a year!! So I know how hard just that is!!
-
NIghttime snacking. I probably would eat double my amount of daily calories in sugary garbage at night. No wonder I never could sleep :(
-
I just started and it's an awesome starting point!!!

Sorry I'm in awe. I just started workout 3 in Stage one. I was thinking of trying strong lifts or another program when I finished, but I have some time to decide.

I use the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural (I dont like artificial sweetners and crap, was the best I could find). The cheap stuff bloated me and gave me horrible gas. I've had no problems with this one.

Contrary to what other people here have said, I have noticed with me that sugar is 100% a factor in my weight loss. If I do not watch my sugar I do not lose or I lose very slowly. If I keep watch on my sugar I tend to lose faster and larger amounts (Im at a 5.7 lb loss for the past month). I believe it has to do with my…

You can use an exercise ball as well. Start with the ball under your hips and gradually push back to your toes. The further back, the harder the push up! I have been doing that and so far it's working.
-
Honestly no one really pays attention at my gym to anything. If someone is staring it's normally because they are just focusing. Normally I'm too focused on my workout to really care about anyone else (as long as they aren't in my way) or what they are doing. Sometimes I do look at the male eye candy though. Or I will…

Personally, I think you need to work on yourself. I live by a rule where "you cannot change other people, only yourself". So he made a completely out of line comment. But it's a comment (and he is a guy!!). Why do YOU let someone else with words get so far into you that YOU would let yourself get sabotaged? It seems like…

I was like you having a ton. I couldn't sleep at night and it just was getting in my way of life. I gradually tapered it off over a period of 5 weeks. I wouldn't go from 4 - 3 cups, instead I'd just do 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 of a cup to get down. Now I've been down to 1 cup for quite some time. I will drink 2 on occasion and…

First off, he is a guy. They aren't exactly known for being in touch with their feelings. My advice to you would be to work on yourself more first before dating. You need to love yourself before you love someone else. Maybe he is just busy. If you are an extremely emotional person, maybe you should talk to your GYN, you…

Heart Rate Monitor that syncs with my phone into Digifit! (Can't stand endomondo BLAH)

If I go over in sugar I don't lose period. I have to constantly keep my sugar in check in order to continually keep losing. I know what people say about caloric deficit, but if I weigh and accurately measure every drop of food into my mouth I will not lose unless I track my sugar. Try it for a few weeks and see what…

I'm a 36G or H and I have a Freya sports bra and it's amazing. Actually it's near impossible in the US to get my size. I was shoving into a DD for years. I found a store an hour away from me that specializes in the bigger sizes where they actually fit you. It's called intimacy and you may be able to find one near you.
-
I did medifast for about 3 months. First off yes you do lose weight and fast, but it's nearly impossible to maintain. The food, yeah, its pretty nasty. I remember the first time I had the oatmeal I couldn't even eat it (and I'll eat anything). I've never eaten something so disgusting in my life. I found "recipes" to make…

fitbit says I did 5.8 today!!!

I did a project in a Sweet n Low plant. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE THE STUFF!!! The plant was spotless, but the stuff was everywhere and I inhaled it. Took about a week to get that taste out of my mouth. YUCK! I use Stevia (I tried truvia and stevia in the raw, BLAH) but the liquid kind from the health food store. I will also…

I've played around with MFP and it's setting's to see what worked well for me and it's taken a few months. I'm much taller then you (5'11"). I've done the super low cal and not eat back exercise calls (I basically wanted to kill everyone and thats not a good thing), I upped it and didn't really lose. I've found that I use…

I have a desk job and I work in a construction trailer (i.e teeny tiny). I can't park far away either. I used to walk around the property when it was warmer, but with the ice and snow now It's not safe. So what I do is every time I go to the printer, I'll do 2 -3 laps around the trailer. Going to get a drink 2-3 more laps.…

Once I stopped bleeding I pretty much was fine. But nothing too cold or nothing too hot. Nothing crunchy or with sharp edges. Mine had me take advil beforehand (I just did the gas and all 4 at once) and it was over fast. Really wasn't a big deal. My tonsils were worse!
-
Im so slow!!! My run is at 4.0, maybe 4.2!! Then again I never ran ever!!! When they had the physical fitness test in gym to measure the mile, I just walked! I have a bad ankle/tight achilles/tight calves/scar tissue so I was going to go slow and complete it, then go back and do it a second time, but increase the speed.…

FYI - As of today Instagram can use any of your pictures in any of their advertisements FOR FREE. So if it's anything you don't want the world to know, I wouldn't use it!
