Eryndil

Honestly, it took me about ten years to quit. Every January I'd make the resolution that I'd stop biting, and by about Jan 5th I'd be nibbling again. I just quit this year by putting the nasty tasting gunk on my hands, then any time I had the urge I would sit on my hands or hold my boyfriend's hand instead. In my…

Don't be discouraged! The first week I started MFP I gained 2lbs and I was super miffed. Weight-loss takes time. Also, results are not typically noticed till about 2-4 weeks after beginning a weight-loss regime. I love eating too, but honestly I was surprised to see how many calories were in what I ate. Log everything,…

I started it last week and am on Lvl 1 day 6. I'm one of those people who are overly critical of workout dvds (because I think perhaps you'd be more successful going to a gym regularly instead) but I must say I think the 30DS is amazing. Jillian Michael's isn't too annoying, and she seems to really understand what makes…

Thanks!!!

I just finished L1D1 - I am feeling pretty beat up, but in a good way. I think I'm going to be very excited about this! P.S Don't have hand weights, so am using some of my more heavy textbooks (they weigh about 4lbs each) This makes them difficult to grip after a while, but at least I'm still getting the resistance I need…

Wow! Let me know how this goes! I love being busy in the kitchen, and then being able to *guilt-free* eat my creations! Add me!

I work out roughly 5-6 times a week, losing about 250 cals per 30 mins session. I've upped my goal (downed?) to losing 1lb/week, and now it has given me 1400cal/day - still under my BMR... I just can't face only losing 2.5lbs by April 7 if I was to go to 0.5lb/week. Also, I struggle to eat 1200 cal/day now, imagine 1650…

I do so I can feel huge satisfaction the following week when all my water-weight has gone!

Not a military spouse, but a Forces member myself. I'm trying to be healthier so I can pass my fitness test, not to mention fit into a smaller sized uniform! Add me if you'd like!

5'8" , 160lbs and a size 10, although 11 (if the store has them) are more comfortable. Am looking to get down to 140lb and will see where I'm at!

The best quinoa recipe book I've found is called "365 Quinoa" and is available at Chapters. It has 365 recipes of things to do with this great grain from simple quinoa salads, to breakfasts to pizza crusts!

I'm from SW Ontario!

I'm making the effort to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and I stay awake from anything processed or pre-packaged (if I can). When I joined MFP last year I struggled with eating my daily allotted calories - I got it into my head that i would lose weight faster if I ate 300 less than my total every day. That was…

So going consistently under 1200 = starvation mode? I only ask because lately I have only been eating about 900 - 1000 calories a day....
