Great, thanks!

I've tried Insanity and it really is insane! BUT it is doable. You can take breaks in the middle of sets (other than the timed breaks) to breathe and drink water but it's sort of an honesty system, make sure you're not cheating yourself. If you can still push, you should push! If you believe you can be that honest, then I…

Yes, thank you! You'll definitely get there, too! I literally gave up my jeans during the past few months. I'm glad to have a few more choices in clothing again (:

Wow, that's great! I can't wait to outgrow my clothes (:

You'll get there soon! I'm back to wearing jeans because of this (:

That's great! I'm really hoping my boyfriend joins MFP as well. I've been telling him about my results and how I'm almost halfway to my goal weight. I'm hoping it makes him want to join here. Although he's been putting in a lot of effort to lose weight, MFP is very helpful!

I have PCOS and currently just on pills. I am 22 years old and I do NOT want to take any medication and I plan on having kids in the future. I have lost 15lbs so far and I have about 20 more to lose (I'll be re-evaluating then). The 15lbs I lost by dieting (no sugar, low carb intake) and biking sometimes. I'm planning to…

Some muscle builders I know eat like 6 eggs a day.

If I'm hungry I eat/drink water. I never let myself get hungry for a long period of time.

My brother's trying to gain weight, too. Weird 'cause his nutritionist suggested he eat around 2-3000 Calories a day.

Nothing can replace chocolate, really! Semi-sweet chocolate's a good alternative to milk chocolate (: Of course, you shouldn't go over the recommended serving but it helps curb the craving! I use this chocolate for baking and I always have some left over. The nutritional information about it is not too bad!

Thank you for all your response! It's really helpful (: I'm trying to recall the last time I've exercised and I don't think I've eaten anything before that's remotely near the work out. Back when I was still competing, eating even an hour or two before a game would make me sick (even if it was just a banana). I'm going to…

HAHA yes, yes I understand! Thanks for all the input! I just wanted to read people's experiences on regarding this (:

If you have a microwave in your office, you can try eating popcorn! There are low cal variants of these. You can also try grapes! I'm usually very happy with the crunch I get with them (: Like others suggested, warm drinks help (: You can heat up some skim milk, drink tea or coffee. What fills me up most of the day is…

Okay, thanks for that! I might just do interval days instead so I'll be sure to be doing something everyday.

Thanks! C25K is designed for just a 30 minute workout. Adding weights would total maybe an hour or so.

I'm starting C25K on Monday! I used to do sports so I'm not particularly new but I'm rearing to start over (:

You are blessed to have a husband as loving as yours (:

Congratulations! And thank you for reminding me to check my BMI. I just checked it for the first time since I started trying to lose weight and I'm glad to say that for the first time in two years, I'm just overweight (: Good luck on your journey!

I feel you! But you should try being short, I'm 5' flat. I've lost 10 lbs so far and I'm telling you, it does NOT show a tiny bit. But when I gain those 10 lbs back, everyone will notice. It's crazy.

That's the same for me, actually. I'm on a pretty low carb diet so I've been eating a lot of protein and feeling full. There was a day that I consumed less than 600 Calories and panicked so I ate an egg and drank milk just to bring it up a bit. I'm around 5' so I don't really believe the 1200 Calorie requirement for me but…
