I did the 21 day fix and thought that it really worked for me. I overindulged during the holiday months and needed a guide to balance my diet back. I followed it for the first week and then let my body do the rest. If I felt that it wasn't enough food, I would add more protein or vegetables here and there. You get to eat…

you may add me if you like.

Most Teas have caffeine.

I'm in the same boat, trying to get back on and staying. you may add me if you like.

My response would be, "no I'm not too skinny, this is what a healthy diet and exercise looks like or what a healthy person looks like."

I think about time. Every second and minute you spend trying to find motivation, you have lost time - time you will never get back. I say don't find motivation. Just do what you have to do because motivation will find you while doing it.

That is fantastic, thanks for sharing your journey so far:)

I have the same problem so I take zyrtec every single day and make sure I get plenty of water. I have found that when I lost a lot of the weight, my urticaria has gotten better. I do high impact workout that made me sweat and then my skin raises but I push through it and shower right after and that seems to help. Its not…

Same here as well. I fell off the wagon because I dislocated a shoulder and took time off that ended up being to long and just gained weight back. I'm getting back on and need to lose 20-30lbs. feel free to add me if you like. It's exactly what the person above me said, consistency and patience.

I just recently started again myself. I'm a SAHM as well and is looking to lose another 25-30lbs. I just started training for a half marathon to help me do this. feel free to add.

ditto here too. No excuses, I was just lazy and ate a lot of pizza. Friend me if you like.

I was diagnosed with Hashimotos or Hypothyroidism in 2007. It took a couple years to be on the right meds and when I finally got it right, it made a huge difference. Having this is so hard because it basically just shuts down your metabolism but there is hope. I have lost weight through diet and exercise. The main thing is…

I just went to the doctor earlier this month for my physical and for my lab results I did 2 weeks prior. Doctor asked me how I was doing and feeling and then she went over the labs. That is when she told me that my cholesterol was very high and asked me if I thought it was genetic or poor diet and lack of exercise. I told…

My favorite workout DVD is Jackie Warner Power Circuit Training. Its a mixture of weights and cardio - you only need a couple of sets of weights. I love this dvd because it has 2 full body workouts at 40 mins or 15 mins and then broken down to 15 min abs, 15 min upper body, or 15 lower body. You can pick and choose your…

maybe, I can't date just abs, need a face to go with it lol

I don't have cheat days, I try to incorporate treats into the days I workout so that I don't deprive myself. I also have rest days and try to stick to some kind of routine. For ex. I would do cardio M, W, F and strength training T, TH. I would take Sat and Sun off. On my rest day I will only eat around BMR and on days I…

It really depends on the elasticity of your skin. As we age our cells don't turn over as fast as when we were young and losing and gaining weight can really effect it. Staying hydrated is key. I recommend using a really good anti aging cream. Most people use moisturizers for their face and forget to use some along their…

I think you are safe if you are are between 25-40% of your calorie expendenture. I got this from a site: As a general rule, between 10 percent and 15 percent of your total calories should come from protein. So, if you consume 2,000 calories per day, at least 200 should come from protein, or about 50 grams. You should try…

mfp automatically puts your protein low. You can manually adjust it under your goals. I have mine set as 40%carb 30%protein and 30% fat

yes you will wear shorts again, as long as you continue your healthy lifestyle journey. It took me a long time but you have to take it one day at a time. I actually bought a pair of shorts a couple sizes down and would hang them in my closet as a target goal and motivator. Do what works for you but you can get there. You…

my first baby was 9lbs and the second one was 10lbs so my stomache was so bad. When I use to sit down I would have this thick bulge overhang and you can literally lift it and tuck into pants. After some weightloss it gradually shrunk. Strenght training, cardio, healthy diet, and patience helped it a lot. Nice to say that I…

I make an oatmeal protein pancake that is really delicious. I use 1 instant oatmeal packet any flavor with 2 eggs and a scoop of protein powder, 1tbl of water, almnond milk, or milk. You can put in chocolate chips, fruits, nuts etc.

hi just sent you a request

my husband has been very supportive. He doesn't make comments when I stray and is always honest when I ask him questions about my weightloss journey. Normally he'll give me a please don't troll look when i ask him if my butt looks big lol. otherwise he never makes comments unless its to tell me that he thinks im beautiful…

I heard cottage cheese as an evening snack helps which i have been doing off and on and it seems to help. Carbs also helps me too because it makes me tired
