Okay, one more (I'm binging on celeb photos) - Katy Perry!

I want to change my "vote" - she is the same height as me and I love her body!!

Scarlett Johansen or Kat Dennings. Muscular is not my body type...I like a little curves!

I've noticed that it seems if I eat anything over 1,600 calories a day for a few days, it shows up on the scale. :ohwell: My metabolism must be outta whack.

I made an iPhone 5 wallpaper.... :blushing:

Thanks everyone! I really love this quote. I am going to put it as the screensaver on my phone. Also, my diary is public now...y'all can keep me accountable!! :flowerforyou:

Also, I quit smoking 2.5 months ago and immediately gained 7 pounds!

Nice work! You look SO familiar. Are you from So Cal?

Thank you for all the great tips and websites. Just a quick note, I don't just have coffee for breakfast, as I said I just lump juice in for lunch but drink it throughout the entire day starting in the morning.

Thanks!

Actually, there IS a correct way to calculate calories when juicing, it has something to do with subtracting fiber and whatnot that is lost when juicing. I just haven't gotten around to figuring it all out yet. Not defensive. You told me I had a "problem" so I responded.

I was Paleo but have since gone Vegan (I know, sounds weird, right?) I highly recommend these posts by me, which also have links to more Paleo recipe sites! hehe http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/985524-delicious-gf-and-paleo-banana-bread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/982631-my-paleo-shepherd-s-pie-recipe

First of all, it's not "silly" and I really enjoy juicing. It's cleared up a lot of health concerns I've had and how can you say that drinking 4 apples, 1/2 a pineapple, a carrot, 1/2 cucumber, and avocado, a lemon and lime, ginger, a huge bunch of ginger and spinach and celery to not be real food? I drink the juice…

I got a Jack Lallane juicer on Craigslist for $40 and juice twice a day! I got started because of the movie "Hungry for Change" and am a huge fan of Jason Vale (7 lbs. in 7 Days)

So strange to me that she is coming on here for motivation and support and people are acting like posts that say "Shake your head and say no" and pointing out the calories and bad contents that are in pizza are put down and made fun of. If you're on a diet and trying to be healthy, how does overly processed cheese/dairy,…

I'm assuming we're talking pizza as in Domino's, New York Piza, etc. The cheese in those pizza's is high in fat (fats in dairy products are high in saturated fats). They use white flower to make the bottom (processed), which has a high GI level (like whitebread & sugar). A lot of meats on there like perperoni are high in…

Quit telling yourself you "CAN'T have it because you're on a diet/trying to lose weight." That reinforces a negative feeling toward food. Instead, think to yourself "I CAN have pizza, but I choose not to." - Jason Vale is my inspiration! (from his book "7 lbs. in 7 Days"

Laugh all you want, but Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" has a great pace! I use http://jog.fm/workout-songs and use songs that are around 96 BPM (you can search by BPM). You can also try http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2011/01/how-to-bpm-analyse-all-of-your-mp3s-for-free/ and it will scan your iTunes library and tell you…

Oops on the BMR/TDEE part! I'm new to the whole TDEE concept. If you're living off juice for 7 days, it does "detox" or "flush" put a lot of toxins eaten in overly processed foods. Plus, eating all the fruit and vegetables in the juice plan in one day would be way too hard to consume without juicing it first.

Wow-thank you!!

Thanks!! That link explains it perfectly!

Thank you for taking the time to explain this! The part I quoted made the most sense. I have been eating WAY below my caloric needs!!! I'm 5'8" CW 162 GW 135 I have been eating 1200-1400 calories a day plant-based GF diet (mostly juicing) and exercising 300-700 calories a day. I lost quite a bit at first, but have hit a…

I agree with this. Plateau's happen, BTW! I plateaued for 3 weeks twice in the last 6 months. It's all part of your body adjusting to your new diet. Stop with the pills!!! A waste of money and unhealthy. I would definitely never drop below 1200 calories a day. Use the MFP calorie tracker and know your BMR and make…

Thank you! I am 5'8" so 30 pounds isn't too much for my H2W ratio.

Let's see everyone else's photos!! :)

I would freeze it, but he or I would most likely forget to transfer it from the freezer to the fridge to defrost it before lunch and he'd have nothing to eat!

Sweet potatoes aren't forbidden on Paleo. You can put sweet potato mash on this instead of the cauliflower mash, but the cauliflower saves you a few calories.

Yup! Watched Vegucated thinking it was a movie about juicing and can't stand to consume any animal products anymore. My boyfriend is still Paleo though! He loves his bacon and eggs!

Thanks for the feedback! With everyone's answers, I think now I'm leaning toward P90X instead! I tend to get bored with the same thing over and over (I can't even run on a treadmill without being bored in 5 minutes!) hahaha BTW, you look great!

Thanks! I've already found a few recipes from your board I can't wait to try!
