TOM sucks! I usually drink some dieter's tea and do a mini-cleanse whenever he visits.

Weight loss plateau...BUSTED! 1.7 pounds lost this week I'm at a total of 17 pounds lost only 3 away from my end of the month goal!

Okay so tomorrow is the moment of truth...weigh-in day for me. {{fingers crossed}}

I didn't ever set a specific weigh-in day but just. My weigh in day is tomorrow. So I guess whatever day is best for you just once a week. If someone else has a better idea, I'm all ears!

Don't leave them in the containers/bags they come home from the store in. Put them in a good quality plastic baggie or tupperware with a paper towel to soak up excess moisture. Be sure to switch out the paper towel every couple of days.

I took sugar off, so I don't have to look at it but I am very aware of processed sugar I eat. Most of the sugar I do eat comes from fruit and a couple of teaspoons of agave nectar in my tea. I think that if the sugar comes from a natural source then it's okay.

Tough it out and stretch it out. A quick 10 minute stretch after a workout really helps. Also you might try a protein shake. You can get small personal shakers at most grocery or health food stores. Drinking a whey protein shake after a workout helps repair your muscle tissue and prevent soreness. I can tell a definite…

Wonderfully helpful!

Great job!

That's a good one. I might do that too...and then go buy it at Wal-Mart where I can afford it!

Thanks girls. What are your secret NSV's?

Happy 4th of July! Some things to remmeber for today: 1. Get in a workout today. Then you'll be able enjoy all of youre Independence day treats. 2. Don't worry about overeating, just make good choices, small portions and drink plenty of water. 3. Be honest with yourself in what you eat and log everything you eat today.…

I know exactly what you mean. a couple of months ago I lost in one arm and the opposite thigh. Crazy huh?! I'm not seeing much change in my thighs, hips, but, waist, stomach area. Although I can tell I'm getting stronger...it's just hidden under a layer, or two, or three of fat!

Tomorrow I'm doing Turbo Fire Core 20 and Stretch 40. I think it's one of my favorites. Especially the last few minutes of Stretch 40...laying down, really letting myself unwind...it's the best!

Okay girls, make today count. Long in those calories and get in a killer workout!

Good for you wanting to change and trying to make this work!. I'm a mother of 2; my kids are 7and 9. I'm a public school teacher and during the school year I have to leave the house by 7:00 and don't usually get home until 3:45-4:30. 1. You have to schedule exercise like anything else important in your life. If you try to…

Oh yes one more thing..I do not have an oven or stove - it's a renovation project gone horribly wrong - but I do have a double hot plate, microwave, toaster, crock pot and blender.

Piddy47, you sure aid it! July will be the "Do or Die" month!

I know we can do it! Post your weekly weight loss here so we can help keep each other accountable;e and motivated!

Anyone out there? Anyone...anyone...Buller, Buller?

Me too. Usually if I'm craving that bad then I've probably waited too long to eat and my blood sugar is low. I try to keep my eye on the prize!

Make some air popped popcorn with a few sprays of spray butter and sprinkle with some garlic powder and a grated Parmesan cheese. Cut up your favorite fruit and/or veggies, put them into a baggie, and then put all of your goodies into a big purse and enjoy!

Welsome! I hope you find this site as helpful as I have. A bit of advice is to log everything you eat, exercise, and take advantage of the wonderful support system here on MFP. Everyone has been so helpful when I've got questions or super motivational when I'm having a bad day. I love it here!

I can do air jacks...barely. A lot of the jumping moves my feet are off the ground, not as high as the ones on the DVD but they are off the ground. The hardest move for me is the burpe. I can do only about half of what they do and my HR just gets way too high and I can't breathe and feel light headed. However I'm doing…

I usually can't afford or have access to super healthy food. However, sometimes my coworkers will comment on how healthy my food looks. Especially the one that had gastric bypass, and still eats crap!

Very informative, thank you!

Same here!

First of all, good you for acknowledging and admitting you're having a problem. Second, I think that because this has been going on for 18 years you really might need the help of an outpatient program that can help you begin healthy eating habits and address the deep rooted issues you're having. (((hugs)))

I'm in the USA, Southern Texas. Oh and we have a renovation project gone horrible and I don't have a kitchen to speak of. For cooking I've got a grill, double hot plate, microwave, toaster, crock pot, and a blender.

Thanks girls. I'm going to put it at my high schol weight, 145 and when I get there reevaluate.
