Ok- so new to this board, but I did have 1 main goal for Dec: -don't blow progress during Christmas. (managed to maintain) December was a tough family month. Goals for January: -average 15,000 steps a day -weight work 2x week -average 1.5 pounds a week My overall goal is to get back into healthy bmi range. Currently I'm at…

I'm 5'0" and my current goal is 124. (That number puts me in the bmi category of "normal".) Among other things, this lowers life insurance rates. :-) I started at 154, and am now at 127.6. So getting closer! I can already tell I'll probably want to go down to 120. I thought at 125 my shape would be slimmer, but it's not.…

Nope. But definitely low carb. Only green beans as a vegetable? Seems like a really good way to be unhealthy to me!
-
If you want one, go for it. Not for me-- nope.
-
Those numbers sound about right. I'm 5'0" -- so pretty close in height. Hooray to you for working out so regularly. In the beginning, I could only walk my dog around the block before becoming winded-- it does get better! Now, I go to the gym nearly daily. (I do still walk the dog! :laugh: ) Kudos to you for making healthy…

Just wanted to concur with what's already been said.... eliminating a food group will not make you lose weight. If you are considering changing the way you eat, and if you are intolerant to gluten or pre-diabetic/diabetic, or possibly celiac, a short period to test if your body does better without gluten can be helpful. My…

Joy, you are an inspiration! I can only imagine how many people you inspire and help in your work each day with your story! Congratulations on all your success and hard work!

Went to get new pants, and fit in size 4 jeans! I've been altering stuff down (started at 14)... had no idea!

Weekly (I feed 4 people): Eggs bacon chicken (whatever part is on sale) pork beef, if on sale buffalo (typically only 1 pound) fish berries (usually blue, blackberries) tomatoes avocados plantains Brussel sprouts broccoli one of these: swiss chard, mustard greens, or bok choy Ozarka sparkling water with flavor but nothing…

Completely Awesome. Congrats!

While eating "clean" calories might be the same weight effect as eating the same number of calories in frozen waffles-- paying attention to what you eat and eating better foods will make you feel better. There is more nutrition in a cup of broccoli than the same number of calories from Popsicle. If you feel better, you are…

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in January, and put on 500 mg of metformin once a day. I also went on a very low carb diet- cutting out all grain, sugar (added, not fruit), - I decided on the advice of my doctor to become Paleo. I no longer count calories, but I do track my food to make sure I'm eating balanced. I'm…

I will post with you! I started paleo on my doctor's advice, 90 days ago. The first 3 weeks were tough, but it has gotten so much better! I feel better, and many health problems are starting to go away.... Including rashes and headaches. I've also lost 23 pounds in the process. I have more energy than ever. Apparently, I…

Ghee is available at Central Market and also at Market Street if you have either.

My 8 year old would "shred" with me frequently. She will ask me -- are we doing Jillian tonight? Sometimes, she joins me for the whole thing-- sometimes, she only does a few minutes. :-) She's aware that I cut calories. while I would never put her on a "diet".... I certainly don't discourage any activity she's interested…

When I began MFP in January, I also downloaded STRIIV on my phone. I've made a conscious effort to wear clothes with pockets, and I keep my phone on me, so I can track my steps throughout the day. ( tracking all my daily steps, not just when walking for exercising). I aim for a minimum of 10k a day. It has definitely made…

Completely wonderful! Congrats!!!

I finally figured out how to post those before shots. Here they are. Not a huge difference.... Turns out you can draw in your own....:) Sorry these are so huge!
-
Not sure if I qualify as a "success". I'm on day 27. I've only lost 2 pounds. ( certainly not 20). I have last an inch off my chest, 1.5 from my waist, and 1 from my arms. So keep in mind my results were modest, at best. 1) What was your workout schedule? I workout everyday. Skipped two days during camp. No.. Look at it…
-
Everyday. First thing.
-
I quit listening to the volume long ago. I watch tv or my own tunes while working it!
-
I've lost 15 pounds and inches doing 30 day shred and walking.
-
I just joined the ripped in30 group. My success has not been as large as I had hoped, but it has been there....so I'm giving Jillian 30 more days.
-
For me-- when I start a new harder workout, it takes about 3 weeks to see the scale move down. First it usually moves up a bit Everyone is different. BUt this has been a repeating pattern for me. Up the workout, gain weight-- keep plugging, lose extra after three weeks. Up 1, down 2 kind of thing....

We have a tamika (spelling?) which has a body fat % and calculates the number of calories for maintenance. (The body fat actually measures the % of water in your body, so while it isn't exactly accurate-- comparing this number does help give another thing to go by. I have seen some progress in this area. It has a digital…

^^^^this^^^^^ Honestly, why continue to feed the trolls?
-
If I had an 18 year old daughter nd a 29 year old called, I would consider him a creeper, also.
-
Call her in 3 years.

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks like a troll post to me.
