As someone who's been reading up on this program online, I'm VERY curious about it. I've been working my *kitten* off for weeks (since the end of December) and have VERY LITTLE to show for it. Reading through the comments here, however, gives me a lot more hesitation than the "infomercial" did. There are at least 12 people…

https://www.fitbit.com/user/25WQWD I don't have any friends on there yet I don't think! tho I think it's gone a bit blinky today. lol It's telling me I've burned 3000 calories

It finally did sync u, but the odd thing is it still hasn't for that one whole day.

*waves* I'm on here daily and love meeting new people! I've still got a LOT more to lose, but getting healthier counts for something. Right? :) Good luck on your journey!

I'm just beginning really and would have to use some modified positions, but do you think for someone who is a TRUE beginner, this would be something helpful?

You know, that actually makes a lot of sense! And CURSE these forums for not saying when we have a reply! I know my walk stride but I also know the faster I walk, the shorter it gets so maybe that's throwing things off.

Thing is, it's been a LONG time since I've been on a treadmill! lol I do turn loose sometimes, but a lot of it I'm holding onto the front or side bars. What makes me wonder if it's not catching it is that I'm doing 1.5 miles on the treadmill, my goal for the day is only 2 miles, and doing the treadmill isn't pushing me way…

Any idea how a HRM compares to a Fitbit?

@armadillolabr and others, Thank you! I live in a very small town that has a grocery store and a Wal-Mart. Our Wal-Mart is even VERY limited in "good food". To get to anything other than these 2 places, I have to drive roughly 45 minutes, which doesn't bode well for fresh food in 100 degree heat. Now, for those saying that…

There are things that I don't buy for the house simply because they are stronger than me and we both know it. LOL. I don't buy Oreos for the house anymore. If I crave them, I go buy a snack pack of like..4, then I don't have to worry about them calling my name. Another recent revelation, I can't resist Hot Fudge Sundae…

I'm on here daily. Anyone can add me that wishes to and I def need to lose 100 lbs.

Pure apple cider vinegar, one with the mother in it. One tbsp daily and it'll vanish in no time.

Personally, I'd love to try Lipolite. Think that's how it's spelled. I've seen really great results on a friend of mine and there's no down time at all. It sounds like that Cool sculpting might be like this is.

I said I was done with this thread. I guess I lied. I am back to pretty much flip a finger at a certain few here before I walk out the proverbial door again. Two full weeks on the Dash way of eating and my IBS is gone. So is 15 lbs since the start of it. Have a great day. I'm out

I love the Rockin Body and Hiphop Abs by Shaun T! It's like dance and Tae Bo combined but no impact! Also, check out a lady on youtube. Tiffany Rothe she is great for a free thing.

I can tell you this from my perspective. After going off carbs for several days, I've discovered that I may very well have a gluten sensitivity. After taking carbs and crap from my diet, my legs have stopped swelling and my IBS has went by the wayside. It's quite possible that you are just finding out that you have an…

@ndj1979 This is my last comment/post here and then I'm done with it and this forum post. I am not doing some crazy, ****ed-up diet that limits you to cabbage soup or only apples for days on end. This is the start of a way of resetting my system so I'm not eating carbs all the time. I do not understand why it's so…

@ndj1979 Well, aren't you just a wonderful ray of sunshine.

Wow. I'm shocked. Do you really think at 44 yrs old I don't know the first to come off is water weight? I honestly thought these forums were a place of building people up, not slapping them in the face for posting something that seems to be working for them. I'm honestly sad that I was so very mistaken And for those that…

Well, I'm allergic to whole milk, so I do almond milk. I'm not saying this is easy at all, and after 2-3 weeks, you can add back in fruits and whole grains. It's a way to get the body off its addiction to carbs. And to those that are downing my weight loss, it's your prerogative to think how you wish. I needed a boost, a…

posting a link to where I commented originally http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1065413-dash-diet?page=1#posts-16593917 I have been on DASH officially for 5 days, today being my 5th full day. I have lost 1 inch off my waist and 11.5 pounds since I weighed last Monday. It's not easy if you're a carb junkie like I…

UPDATE! I officially started this last Thursday (FIVE DAYS AGO). The last time I weighed was a week ago, but I have to give DASH all the credit. I have lost ONE INCH from my waist and 11.5 lbs since I began this. Yes, my whining and complaining has come to and end.

Okay, I see MANY post about trying the DASH diet and few come back to say results. This is the morning of my 3rd day and I had some carbs last night. I didn't go stark wild, but I did have a Starbucks sandwich. I just measured and am DOWN 1/2 INCH ON MY WAIST! Measured 4 times cause I couldn't believe it. That, and I…

It's a sort of version of the Mayo clinic, I think. You do NO fruit, NO starchy veggies and basically no carbs for 2 weeks. It centers around veggies, healthy fats and protein. The lady I work with has done amazingly well on it.

Actually just started it today! I lady I work with lost about 35 lbs and that's all she's done (no working out) and she's lost 3 pant sizes. To me, that's more important than the scale moving!

Have you tried Muscle Milk? There's technically no milk in it, but there is milk proteins and it comes in amazing flavors. There's also about 28grams of protein per bottle :) Soy is good, but too much can be bad.

I find it odd that you don't get in more protein. My trouble is I seem to get too MUCH according to the numbers. -.- Lots of white meat chicken and turkey.

She's stunning. And yeah, I'm not for the stick skinny thing.

I like curves, I just want there to be less of them lol

I don't have work out buddies nor a gym to go to. I put in my Shaun T Rockin Body or Hiphop Abs and dance like a fool. LOL Granted I'm having a few stumbling blocks, but I want this. Add me if you wanna. Maybe online support will be enough for ya. :)
