So great to post that it can take some time before you see results! Good for you that you stuck it out, well done!

Wow, look at you! Great job!

Do you talk to your kids and family about your sexual acts? Or do you keep that between you and who you are having sex with? While my Husband and I are not in an open relationship, I don't really care if other people are. Not my business. Marriage was never about love, it was a business/property decision. I have my reasons…

So happy to read many of you are having success! This road is a bumpy one with lots of ups and downs....just like our weight:ohwell: @HealthyEllie, the same thing happened with me during reset. I was doing so well then TOM came and it screwed me all up and by the end of cut I had gained 10lbs! Then around 7wks I had it in…

Many many things. Today was Chai tea, coconut almond milk, flaxmeal, coconut extract and shredded coconut. And I use plain protein powder and always add at least 2T.

So sorry Opal, that is really hard! Have you re-worked your numbers just to be sure? I wish I knew what to tell you or to suggest. I know I have seen others not see results until they took their diet break then after that they started seeing a positive change. So maybe go to TDEE after your 4th week for a full week. Have…

I recommend another 6. I know 4 sounds better but it seems most people start feeling better, began being more stable around 4 then that gives your body another 2 wks to get used that amount of food even more. Plus mentally it was week 7 that things really hit me and I am so glad I did reset even though now I question…

Love it! So happy for you :love: :flowerforyou:

Yes, try it. Many people say that after the diet break is when they see their results the most, or at all!

Plumsgrl, when do do plan on measuring? Clothes feeling looser is an awesome feeling! I think I would have to measure just so see....although it is nice to not have a number to worry about and just enjoy the feeling! Rosie, does the workouts help with the pain at all? I'm so impressed that you still try even though I'm…

Just wanted to jump in with my week two results! I lost a half pound and half an inch around my hips. A tad from my waist. Thats actually pretty good considering its the end of TOM and I ate a tad over a few times. Especially last night, I got a litt le heavy handed with the peanut butter :blushing: Still glad to see some…

I am between 5'8 and 5'9. I don't have a goal weight, just a goal size. I want to be in a very comfortable size 7. I have been there before and really miss it. I have been in a 6 but I have very muscular thighs so jeans have to have some stretch in them. At that size I wore size 4 in skirts/dresses though. I am a 9 now,…

I eat 2180, that is with my activity calories included and I have been losing. I am just over 5ft 8, about a size 9 and muscular. I spent a year on MFP eating between 1200-1700 and rarely lost. Whatever I would lose I always gained right back. I lift 3x per week for about a half hour then walk about an hour 6 days a week,…

I love these: http://chockohlawtay.blogspot.com/2012/07/chocolate-peanut-butter-fudge-brownie.html

You are the parent of this child and are an adult. Even if they sit down to eat with your son, toss it out every time. They will get the hint. I don't mind my children eating this stuff occasionally when they are in their Grandparents care but personally I feel even several times a week is too much. My in-laws and husband…

@jwkime, you should definitely do it next year! I think this was my 4th time and even I get a little nervous about it. This year I wasn't even able to do the practice runs so I was really scared that I could do the first half....but then what? But the crowd is so amazing and the adrenaline of the day really motivates you.…

So great to hear! Wonderful results!

This is the one I like. It takes minimal equipment besides having to buy heavier plates as you progress. This may be what a previous poster was referring to: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dumbbell-only-home-or-gym-fullbody-workout.html?page=2

Sounds like a blast, have fun!

So as of today it had been a full week (and a day) of being on a 10% cut and I actually have some pretty great results! I have lost 1.3. pounds, either one inch or 3/4 of an inch from my waist (so hard to get a consistent measurement on my waist. I measure at the belly button since thats where I need the most work) and a…

You are amazing! My time was definitely not as good as yours but I did walk and its hard to pass up a huge slip n slide! Definitely congrats on running the whole thing non-stop! I could tell a difference, too. This year that Brady hill was nothing to run up , yay for EM2WL!

Oh I love this! I have read the books because its one of those things I just *had* to do. I agree that many of it is just repeated and love story? Yawn:yawn:

I'll take even *just some water weight*! It still helps you feel like something is happening! I think there are 3 hills! I can never decide which I hate more, the first one that feels never ending, or the super steep ones. But its so true that the crowd and everything really pump you up! I haven't been training either but…

On my first morning of cut after reset I took measurements and a WI. I really didn't want to, but I know after a week or so when I did weigh/measure I would regret it. For my weight I have convinced myself the more the better. The more I weigh, the more I eat! The more I lose, the more I have to cut out food from my day,…

Pumpkin Protein Pancakes 1 scoop protein powder (I use Bob's Red Mill whey plain but any would do) 4T canned pumpkin 1T ground flax 2 egg whites 2T milk sweetener to taste pinch of baking powder cinnamon and/or pumpkin spice Mix all together then cook! Edit to add: I uses coconut palm crystals for the sweetener so my…

Oh my yes! I *do* remember this!

LOL I totally forgot about the floppy disk!

Well we could've done the Bix together but I doubt I will keep up with your Aunt. Plus I have even thought about an out...If I am feeling crappy and don't feel I have it in me to run/walk the whole thing I know there are bathrooms along the way I can stop at then just go back the other way :blushing: I know thats cheating…

I was you and I loved cardio! During reset not only was I having trouble with it mentally I had lots of personal stress. My runs just were no fun, I didn't feel great after and they were not helping my stress like they once did. I lowered to moderate and cut out my running. The only cardio I do is walking and then I lift…
