Hi, I've been flirting with the idea of Paleo for a while now. Had waffles today, so that's out. Beginning tomorrow morning, I will begin and will be looking for tips/tricks. Is coffee paleo lol....

Welcome! I understand completely and I'm glad you've decided to make the change :) ((gentle hugs)). I workout about 4-5x/wk now...but when I started I was maybe 10-15 mins on Elliptical, got dizzy, felt ill and was soooo discouraged. Good thing I'm a stubborn woman - went back next day and tried again....gave myself…

Coors Light =100 cals, sip with glasses of water between beers. Vodka & diet 7-up Red Wine with a splash of water in it (How the French do it!) with water between glasses. Good luck!

When I hear myself doing that, I tell myself to quit whining and go. If that doesn't work, I tell my lazy voice to shut up and replace my thoughts with "REALLY!! It's only 45-60 minutes of your life! Get over yourself, sheesh!" I'm tough on myself though and if something should happen that really warrants me NOT working…

I have fibromyalgia so getting weaker and weaker from NOT working out was bothering me. Opening a door became painful in my arms and finally I had enough and thought: I should be able to open a freakin' door!!!" The pain will be here no matter what, so why not be fit? I go to the gym at noon hours and started slowly and…

Thanks!! I will give that a try! :-)

Loved Danni the entire way through and figured she'd win it, but man!!!.....I really wanted Jackson to win something, I love that guy!! He had such a turnaround, ah well.....Danni worked it the entire way and deserved it, but hope to hear more from Jackson in the future in other ways - maybe he'll get a sponsor or…

I am a Fibromyalgia sufferer and my friend who is too suggested I take it. So I took it for a week very skeptically and not for weight loss reasons. I found a bit more energy and clarity so I continued on & started to feel so much better. She never asked me to sell it, nothing. So I was at point where I could start…

I'd say, be glad you dodged a bullet --imagine if you'd gotten involved. Ugh. Chin up!!

I'm on week 3 of RI30 just starting it tonight. I bought the new Shed & Shred - wicked good....hang in there, yes she can be a little annoying but at those moment I want to give up, she yells at me and I keep going, it works. Love her.

Geez, my very overweight fiance brings me treats, but also tells me how proud he is of me. After reading this thread, I'm going to go home and kiss him. I stack the treats up and have them on my terms and I feel good about it that way. Best of luck!!

I have fibromyalgia so I can totally relate. I drink a smart drink which I'm not going to specifically name since it would be like promoting something, and that's not what this about. But I do find that it gives me the energy I need in a natural way and is only 18 calories per drink. Food-wise, I suggest apples, cherry…

OMG, I totally understand!! I lie awake on Sunday nights stressing out about work on Monday! Luckily one of the idiots quit and is gone as of Thursday...but that still leaves my boss. Sometimes I wonder how she even gets herself to work without getting lost! I find that getting out of the office and walking, and texting…

I get tired one month, then I can't sleep the next. Ugh. I have found that taking that multivitamin with Iron to really help & if you need to rest, then allow yourself to rest ~~it's okay you will be back at it in no time! As for the cramps...my oldest daughter uses aromatherapy, vitamin B and light exercise. ***good…

Remember this is only temporary. You will fit those at a later date, that's all! Don't let prepackaged sizes of clothes defeat your happiness ~~you have worked hard, done a great job and are a very committed person. You're just in transition right now...be gentle with yourself!! ((((hugs))))

OMGoodness! I laughed so hard at the "Rub it all over your body" post!!! Thanks!!

lol, love it.

I read this article that said that if you continue the workouts, and upgrading the level of intensity that the scale will eventually agree with you. Don't look to that to define you, look instead to how things fit, the feel of your muscles, the level of your energy and happiness in life. If you decide to quit that's fine…

Follow your gut instinct & your own truth. That's all I can say. Good luck!!

I found that when I didn't have control of things is usually when I felt obligated to them. I happily admit that I often have traits of Oppositional Defiant disorder aka: Don't tell me what to do! You can ask, but don't tell me. The restrictions of calories, and finances don't bother me in the least, but if a rookie tells…

After I moved in with my now fiance, I started eating crap that I would never have before. He had hotdogs, I had one. He had a milkshake, sure! Pass one over! It was a way to hang out together. Yep...found myself feeling super un-sexy, flabby and miserable. I used to be pretty fit before him or at least under control while…

I found that doing Yoga worked best to get me moving. Increased my breathing and was overall good. I tried swimming and aquasize but I really hurt after that. Walking is good and I also like a bit of Biggest Loser basic aerobics minus the impact. They have 10min segments so you don't have to do it long. Also just sitting…

Wow! You look super!! Good job, keep up the great work :)
