Maybe some meditation before your run, I can do this I will do this. To get out of your head you must figure why your in it in the first place. Not trying to sound all Gandhi or anything. Good luck

Bump because that sounds like such a good idea to use to flavor things

20 pounds, already 6 down. I just want to feel confident on the beach again.

I think you should reevaluate your time frame but none the less I've had a couple friends see success with the south beach diet.

can you trade your old clothes into a swap shop for some like new threads? Good job!

take it as a "rest day" and move on. if you happen to eat it good but force feeding doesn't sound so appealing lol

Request her as a friend, learn from her. This is what you want to do

Eating 1200 a day compared to what? If you went from 2000 to 1200 yea I'm going to say that its your body's reaction to the decrease. But there are other factors, are you drinking enough water? eating enough protein? sleeping enough? did you all of a sudden cut carbs out? ditch the caffeine? low on sugar? Honestly if these…

Yes they are highly processed, yes they are high sodium but if your in a rush, didn't plan, didn't pack, need a quick meal than they are the better alternative to other frozen meal products. It shouldn't be a part of your weekly meal plan but it can be a good thing to keep on hand for those "oh ****" moments.

None. But if you're going to ignore everyone replying to this thread and do it anyway then follow the instructions on the bottle. But in all seriousness return the stuff and do it the right way. Use that $20-$30 towards a personal training session.

any start is a good start :smile: keep up the good work!

I plan weekly by the sales circular. If chicken is on sale I plan chicken, if ground turkey is on sale I plan that. I use the sales and Pinterest for most all of my meal planning

Of course you can. should you? probably not lol

I got mine at Walmart. I weigh myself frequently throughout the week but the only weight I base any progress off of is my Friday morning weigh in. Wake up, use the bathroom get on the scale, naked, that way there is nothing that could be a factor other than myself. Though please know that scales shouldn't be your "guiding…

Its similar. I tricked my boyfriends 4 year old into thinking it was pasta. I just put some sauce and Parmesan cheese on it, part skim mozz if your are trying to disguise it further for children, some garlic. Delicious! I've also heard of people baking the squash with salsa inside and pairing it with chicken and some guac.

2 words REVENGE BODY Go get it :wink:

Most of my routine includes v up crunches with at least a 5 pound weight in each hand, Russian twists with weight, planks, and scissor kicks. I just started trying pike ups using a stability ball but I'm just trying to find some fresh material to keep me interested :smile:

Bump!!!!!

myfridgefood.com you just click on the items you have in your fridge/pantry and it spits out a list of recipes. On the offhand turkey burgers are a great meal because you can easily change up the taste from dinner to lunch. Also shrimp, I buy a big frozen bag and defrost about 8 at a time to eat that night, salt, pepper…

Don Omar - Danza Kudra Mr Vegas - Head High Came on pandora during my cardio session. Perfection!

Does the gym offer a trial period membership or day passes at a reasonable price? I would look into a trial run or a couple day passes to try it out to see if its something you'd like to do before you jump into something you aren't totally sure about.

Tell them to mind their own business or you'll eat them too.:laugh: Thankfully I don't have those kinds of people in my life. Losing weight and staying on track is enough to handle let alone the negativity of "family and friends" they wanna see you do good, but never better than them. remember that:smile:

Reward yourself every once in a while with a night out. Keep the balance! No shame in having a night out and straying away briefly as long as you reel in right back in! If you totally deprive yourself, or at least in my case, its like a time bomb tick tick tick no cookies no cookies no cookies and then BOOM EAT ALL THE…

I never stretch cold, I always do a warmup before I try to stretch anything out and if you feel like you may have pulled something you don't want to stretch it, you will just injure yourself further

That's too bad. They should really show you around the facility and make sure you are comfortable using the equipment maybe you should speak to the gym manager because making sure you are happy (and safe while using their equipment) should be in their priorities. Anyway in that case I'm inclined to agree with mjfer and do…

When my muscles hurt I roll a rolling pin (sometimes I put it in the freezer first) over them to work it out a little. Take a day or two to rest your legs and let it mend.

You cannot trade fat for muscle, they are two totally different properties and fat will not turn into muscle. You can burn fat and then build muscle but fat simply does not morph into muscle. Fat also doesn't weigh more than muscle its just that muscle is denser therefore a pound of fat is larger in proportion to a pound…

Check in with the front desk and ask for an orientation. The gym should be willing to tour you through the facility and show you the proper way to use machines and what their purpose is i.e triceps, abs, legs, etc. My gym does this as a courtesy service so before you dole out the big bucks on a personal training session,…
