How do you manage your protein vs. carbs? I have been playing around lately with monitoring how many grams of protein I am getting and am finding that the more I get complex carbs from non-starchy vegetables (cucumbers, celery, fresh green leaves, etc.) and focus on eating lean protein, I am losing weight more easily and…

I find that since I have cut out all starches (pasta, bread, white potatoes, rice, etc.) that I am seeing more muscle definition and less fat. But I'm no where near my goal yet.

Good topic. I have never tried it personally, but my grandmother who is 80 years old has been on it since October of 2012 and has has great success. She has lost 7 pounds (even though she really didn't need to lose any weight), reports feeling much better with no indigestion, no bloating, and tons more energy. She's had…

ME TOO! I totally forgot about all that sodium in the movie theater popcorn and diet coke I had today...oops...!

If you like chocolate and peanut butter together but don't want the extra cals from PB when adding to a plain chocolate powder, try Body Fortress chocolate/peanut butter with skim milk. It's my favorite and reasonably priced at Wal Mart.

How is juicing unhealthy?

Are you exercising at all? I find I get most of my water in during and after I exercise as it makes me so thirsty. The rest just follows with meals and I don't measure it exactly, but I estimate and know that I am getting enough.

I hear ya! Have you ever heard the saying, "People on diets only talk about their diet"? I think it's kind of like that...some people are SO obsessed with their "lifestyle" that it's all they think about and only harp on the bad things others are doing and are mean as a result. There is a nice way to go about giving…

Congratulations! That is a really big deal :)

Thank you so much for this! I'm having a huge case of the "don't wants" and "I wanna give ups" today, and this was exactly what I needed to read. :)

I started at 210, currently 207 right now. Let's do this! I'll add you as a friend.

Thank you for posting this! You might be interested in this story of a former contestant - Kai Hibbard from season 3.

Ah, good point. I supposed I'd be pretty positive too if I lost all that weight AND won $100,000 lol.

Welcome! Please feel free to add me. Jennifer

Welcome! I'll add you :)

S'mores Poptarts with a huge glass of milk, Reese's, sour gummy worms, and....DONUTS!

LOVE IT! Thanks for posting this. So inspirational.

Up until 2 months ago, I was drinking about 1 diet coke per day. I quit cold turkey and decided I would let myself have the real thing (coke) only once a week. I have to say that every since I stopped, my craving for sweets has gone down drastically. I think it's true - the research that suggests consuming artificial…

I am a pizza crust lover too! I used to eat 3-4 slices of pizza and then my boyfriend's crust in addition! I can't even imagine how many carbs that must have been altogether. I can definitely relate to eating little bits of things here and there. I just think, "okay, well just a little piece isn't that bad." But the one…
