That is awesome!! 22lbs in 6 weeks is amazing. I did the c25k before and had great results. I'm back to square one again but should get back to it. :'(

I'm on a similar diet, though mine includes anything bear shaped. I usually have Teddy Grahams in my smoothies and a Bear Paw for post-gym protein. The only catch is absolutely no red gummy bears, which I've really been struggling with. I generall gorge out on them on cheat days!

Ooooh Laura, That sounds good. Just copied and pasted it to my boyfriend so we can make it. :)

There's some foods that I just don't want to eat.. and I sometimes phib and say it doesn't agree with my stomach. Lots of people are sensitive to stuff with tons of cheese or bread etc., so it works. I genuinely get a belly ache from a lot of greasy food- So it's become easier to just say that. No one ever asks me for more…

Holy smokin' hot. I don't know who said they dislike the hair.. but I like the hair. Very manly- Hubbah hubbah.

I really liked this! I do think there was one typo.. "Rule three: No food crosses your gums while you are eating." doesn't make sense. Either they mean until instead of while or they mean cooking instead of eating. I always tell myself that BLTs count! Bites, Licks and Tastes!

You can eat back the calories you burn if you like. So, if you are burning 1000, eat 2920 and you'll be fine. Just eat good, whole foods that keep you full. :) I'm sure other people will give you advice that know more as well. One thing you can try to do is use the Search function of these message boards. If you Search and…

Me too! 26.75 years old, CW: 180 GW: 150.. So 30lbs really but maybe 40lbs. :) We'll see!

Thanks for bumping :) I'm downloading it now!

It's good you asked and got the net calories thing cleared up sooner than later. :) Listen to the people above, there's no need to burn so much and eat so little.

Congrats Deedee! I'm stuggling with the same thing. If we get one more Christmas basket filled with Chocolate... Grrrr. I didn't crack until today. BUT there was one item I was eyeing up, and I worked out a 100 calorie portion of it and enjoyed it. :) Not the end of the world, but it will be the only slip up!

I'm looking for the same! I'm in. :)

I'm in too! Definitely looking for motivation!

He is just picking because you wrote "Sweats" not "sweets" and I don't think anyone wants to eat sweat.. hehe. P.S. Thank you for the list!

I get really light headed from Green Tea. I read that while it's great at removing metals etc from your body, it removes iron stores as well. Have avoided it for awhile. I'm a big fan of mint tea, and red roiboos!

I think your mind can work much better when you feed it better. Poor diet choices can make you tired, sluggish and unable to concentrate. I don't think you could say losing weight makes you smarter, but I think eating better does give your mind the right tools to perform at it's best! :) Edit: I googled, lookit:…

Drink a big glass of water, and find the joy in saying no. Find the joy in exercising your will power and being in control. I sat next to my little sister as she devoured a whole bag of doritos last night. As much as I wanted even just one, when I went to bed I got to lie there and feel quite proud of myself for not doing…

I think everyone is effected by it differently. My best friend always goes down about 5lbs every time she is having her period. What you can do, is now that you are watching your weight and diet closely, is keep track for your own records and know your own body. I don't think any of us will have the right answer for you.…

Also, via googling IPOARM: There's a whole group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/8017-in-place-of-a-road-map They Explain: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/974889-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet

I think maybe people have answered this one a lot and it could be why there's no quick response. You could try searching previous topics with the "search" tool for the same question, because I think it comes up often. As for me, My TDEE - 20% is about 1650 Calories, though I feel when eating well I can get a lot of good…

I can't date guys who are into BBWs... And I get mistaken for my (petite) sister a lot more often. I get cat called and hit on more often. :( Life is tough.

When I buy online I like: - Very clear and concise info on where they ship and what it will cost in MY currency and what that costs. - Reviews that don't look fake and examples of the product in use. - Knowing it's quality. I get art supplies sometimes, I want to know they'e not flimsy or going to break. Return policy? -…

If it's normal walking in your daily routine.. Like around the grocery store, I wouldn't count it. If you're going out with the intention of burning some calories, totally count it! It adds up. :)

Thanks for clarifying. :) I didn't really think it built muscles, I just thought it helped them form differently.

I'm on Day 17! I was really sore the first few days, because honestly I'd never been into squats. I haven't hurt from it at all since the past 5-6 days. I can feel that those muscles have been worked and they're a little tired, but thats it. I do have to say that even by the point my butt looks a little better! I've always…

I've heard the difference between gaining long lean muscle and short bulked muscle can be in stretching. Maybe throwing some yoga in there with your exercise would help you develop the muscle the way you want? :) I could be wrong though. Hopefully some pros answer you too!

Tonights:

When I want something different for cardio and don't want to leave the house- I always dance! Not slow dancing, make sure you work up a sweat. :) Put a lot of work out moves in there and do 8 counts. Some punches, some squats etc. Anything that makes you feel a burn and do as many reps as you can. I did zumba a lot before,…

THINK OF THE CUTE TOPS YOUR BOOOOOBS WILL FIT IN! Also, I agree on the pecs workouts to keep them perky. :)
