  • Hi I'm on day 3 of the plan and I was a bit overwhelmed when I received my package, it almost seemed as if it was too much work but I read the book and thought about it. Basically it's portion control, so while the containers are a guide you don't have to fill them at every meal. For me, it's 4 proteins (red), 3 veggies…
  • Wow, you are truly an inspiration and you have showed that it can be done without fad diets or expensive gym memberships etc.!!! You look fantastic and I'm sure you feel even better, congratulations on your tremendous accomplishment you should be so proud of yourself, wishing you continued health!!
  • This was very informative, I have run 3 5k's and now my goal is to increase my speed and endurance. I'm currently on the fifth week of the C25k program, I'm running with a friend who's never run before. I totally agree on the shoes, I'm flat footed and getting the right shoe at a running store is a life saver. One day I…
  • Today is day 1 for me of Attack, I'll be on it for three days. So far so good, but I'm worried about what to eat for dinner, any suggestions?
  • Thank you for sharing your remarkable and inspiring story. You deserve to be the best that you can be and you should be so proud of yourself. Continued success and health to you!
  • Congratulations on your fantastic achievement, your are very inspirational to many I'm sure and you should be very proud of yourself!
  • Hi Lauren, FCV hit it right on the money, you are in control and only you can make the changes but it's within you and you'll get there. One day at a time, focus on small changes and don't get frustrated with the obstacle along the way. You are worth it, lots of luck to you!!
  • I agree with you, too many empty calories and sugar, I am trying no wine at all for a while, let's see how it goes! Good luck to you!
  • I started Dukan over three weeks ago and after the first week of cruise I realized that I missed my fruits and veggies too much so I'm doing sort of a modified version. I eliminated all refined carbs and sugar and feel much better, I don't even crave it so much anymore. I'm down 4.5 pounds and plan to continue high protein…
  • I'm on day 6 of cruise, but I've been modifying a bit, for example I'm doing PV for the rest of the week because it's a holiday week and I don't think I could just do protein with all the events coming up. I also add a little bit of fruit like blueberries but not much. So far I've lost 3 pound but it's only my second week,…
  • My prayers and thoughts go out to them and their families in this unimaginable tragedy.
  • I wouldn't register since you both are already living together. However, if someone wants to send you a gift then that's ok, why not? this is a celebratory moment in your life!!!
  • You look amazing!!! Congratulations and you should be so proud of your hard work!!!
  • You go girl!!! you look fantastic and you look healthy and strong keep up the good work!!
  • It's very easy to lose momentum, I agree that a one day at a time approach is best but set some goals even if they are not related to the scale. I find myself being a slave to the scale sometimes but I'm trying to change my attitude. So small steps, set goals and do this for you and no one else.
  • Yes, I agree completely, I was just wondering what others thought about this because eventually you do incorporate all foods but I don't think it's for me.
  • Thank you Ladylego1 for sharing your story, I have spoken to a few people that have had success with it as well but I think I'll just continue to watch my portions and exercise. Good luck with the rest of your journey and congratulations on your success so far!!
  • Haha K_Serz!!!
  • As others mentioned before I would recommend C25K, excellent app even for those who don't plan on running races, I use it to get my pace. Good luck!
  • I started breaking out with eczema as well and after 3 doctors and a few tests I found out that I'm allergic to PPD which is the chemical used in most hair dyes. I use products like Cetaphil and from a company called 100% Pure, it's online. I also found the only hair dye without ppd is CHI, thank goodness and I've been…
  • All you ladies are beautiful and inspiring!!! Keep up the good work and most important keep up the confidence!
  • Hi I'm 5'4" and 148 and honestly my normal weight has always been between 140 and 145. The least I've weighed is 138 and I looked very thin, we are all built differently, I'm very curvy so I know I'll never be 120 and I'm ok with that. With that said, I think you should probably set your goal to be slightly higher, I think…
  • Congratulations, you should be so proud of yourself!! Keep up the good work!
  • I have coffee only in the morning 2 cups max with almond creamer, no sugar, then water, water and more water. Sometimes I drink flavored seltzer with lime or coconut water. I too feel I need the caffeine in the morning and I'm not about to give that up!! good luck :)
