I eat morning star sometimes.. It's my lazy "go to food" for lunch. I totally prefer REAL meat though! Have you seen the sodium in those fake meats?! Enough to make me swell up like a water balloon!

I always take Fridays off. I take time to hang with my family and just relax. Depending on how the week goes I might take off an extra day or two. I ALWAYS have at least four days in a week though. And I try not to take breaks days back to back.

I guess I would say I'm looking to lose 15 pounds. However, it's more about how I feel. If I get down to 130 and I'm still not happy with how I look then I might try for 5 more or work more on toning my muscles. My goal isn't a number. It's more to be happy when I look at myself in the mirror naked lol.

I changed the settings, but one thing I was curious about is the whole active deal. I work a desk job 8 hours a day so about 16 hours is dedicated to not being too active. Depending on the day anywhere between half an hour to two hours can be dedicated to the gym. The rest of the time I'm doing light active work around the…

Thank you! I was also wondering if I was expecting too much. I was reading how some people lost like 2% body fat in one month and was wondering if that was normal.

My calories are set at 1200. I work out almost every day and I eat a majority of the calories back. I haven't messed with the settings on protein, carbs and all that but I usually try and eat close to my weight in protein. Somedays I'm over some I'm under. When it comes to lifting, I lift pretty light. The max I lift is 12…

I guess I'm just worried that I'm losing more muscle than fat. I don't want the five pounds that I lost in a month to be from my muscles.

I have a gym membership and I get taped and weighed there. After that they plug the information into a little machine that I hold out in front of me then I get the percent that way.

I'm prior Navy, 5 feet tall, and was allowed to weigh up to 142. Someone isn't giving you the right information. Now, if you want to lose weight to join the military I would look at the diet. That will help the most and make sure that you're in the right physical shape to pass all the fitness requirements. I'm not up to…

I'm doing the 30 Day Shred. In the first 15 days I dropped four inches around my waist! I'm still going!

You look amazing!

YOU ARE DOING GREAT! Don't lose motivation! People that see us every day don't really notice a change. However whenever the wedding comes and they really look at you they will notice. Do this for yourself...not just for your sister's wedding.

Throwing out the food is wasteful and childish! I can understand that he's upset because he doesn't want to completely change his eating habits...but to rage out like that. It's not alright. There has to be a compromise. My husband and I work around two different diets. Sometimes I give in and some days he gives in. We…

Bahhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

Depending on your weight zumba can burn up to 500 calories in an hour. http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ I take zumba at least once a week, but shoot for twice. I also do a hip hop dance class that burns around that much too. On days where I do zumba, weight lift and Jillian's 30 Day Shred I easily get in…

My husband lays the guilt trip on me whenever I make salmon. Our kids will eat it but he refuses. For the most part I try to make something that I know everyone will like... But I get so bored with the same staples that the kids always want to eat. I switch it up and if they don't like it...tough. If hubby doesn't like it…

bump!

I lost about four inches off my waist when after only 16 days of the 30 Day Shred. I wish I would have measured the "fat" part of my stomach to see how many inches I lost there! lol

I'm not a superbowl person at all. However, I love food and drinks! I wont be going overboard, but I will indulge a bit.

I think that eight pounds in three weeks is a lot! You probably dropped a lot of water weight the first week. Keep doing what you're doing... Your body will adjust. What exactly are you doing to lose the weight?

I try and stick with raw veggies, egg whites, lean meats... But I'm human and will mess up and have chocolate (more often than I would like to admit.) I go over my calories almost every day... But I make sure I get a small workout in everyday so I can make up for the calories.

@ KimLovesDon I would say Andy's Mom from Toy Story :)

I have a girlfriend that's kind of like this too... My advice. Say no to dinner. If you can't, then order something within the calorie range. When she brings over wine. Have water. If you can't... Then keep your own bottles on hand that are lower in calories, like reds. Have one glass then STICK WITH THE WATER. If she…

How much are you working out? Are you eating back the calories that you lost while working out? And what are you eating? I find that if I make my meals a little higher in protein and just pack lots of veggies I am fuller longer. I plan out some snacks through out the day too.

I just started a new job. When I went to the fridge to put my salad, yogurt, veggies in someone called out, "We have a rabbit in the house!" and another one said, "That's what food eats!" LOL. I just laugh it off. I also get a lot of compliments about my eating habits. :) Always motivating. :)

I'm 5 feet even! Currently weighing 147ish and looking to get down to 130 and seeing how I feel from there. If I'm still unhappy then I might drop another 5 or 10. For me, it's not about an ideal weight...it's about looking fabulous naked! hahahaha

If I have a chip craving I go for pita chips or pop chips.

Everyone is saying the same thing! So I guess I need to hit up these sites and figure out what the correct percentages for me would be. Thanks everyone! :)
