I do HIIT on the treadmil -- walking -- but the speed and high incline not only sheds the wt because of the high heart rate, but builds the muscle because of the incline. I've lots 10lbs in 23 days and my overall goal is 30lbs. Shedding it pretty quick and I was only aiming for 1lb/wk

Interesting -- to each their own! :)

Really? Holy smokes! Whhhhhhy?

They are right, most "cleansing" things are a lot of hype but if your looking for something to cut the taste of your powder, try peanut utter (all natural or freshly grounded if need be for ur cleanse) and I find that helps. I use it with my protein shakes.

Oh, and I might add -- thats only SIX MONTHS!!! Imagine where you'll be in another 6 months?? As you shed more and more wt, and your energy increases more and more -- you'll see that things are easier and the wt will continue to melt off like magic!

OH.MY.GOSH!!! Look at YOU rockstar!!! That is A LOT of hardwork and you are DOING IT!! You are strong, you are capable and you WILL meet your goals!!! NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

Not saying this to YOU per say, but I also think our culture has become INCREASING sensitive to anything and everything. Its hard to know how ppl are coming off on here when you can't SEE them or HEAR the tone of their voice -- you just have writing to go off of and often times that can sound attacking, etc when in fact…

FINISHED!!! 200 Calf Raises off of stairs with 8lb weights in each hand! OH.MYLANTA!!!! My calves are screaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaming!!!! Great Challenge!

^^^agreed! And I always tell people, you might be at your calorie goal (or under), but your body is NOT liking all that processed crap and sugar. For the most part, a calorie is a calorie, but spikes in blood sugar for example changes everything AND how your body FUNCTIONS! So what do ppl do? Cut their calories even more,…

awesome challenge -- lets get those lil suckers sexy eh? I'm in!

You are CORRECT my darling!!! And you know what? You have the RESULTS to prove it!! People need to read "Why we get fat" and then they'll GET IT!! It is not calorie in/calorie out ... so much more than simply that! :) Great job hun!

I'm totally game!!! Weekly Goal: 3,000 Mon: Tues: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: Left to go: 3,000

I know for a FACT this one isn't true!! I decided to do MFP because I was workingout ... and doing all different kinds AT LEAST 4-5x's wk (running, tae-bo, jillian michaels, zumba) and putting in as much effort as possible and not really losing! I started MFP to see what and how much I was eating? 7lbs lost in 2wks...its…

I don't imagine u will die of heart failure haha but it is definitely a shock to your body. Good job on the water and as long as u arent fatigued, weak or hungry...then u are doing good. Just listen to ur body...

Well hell, you just brought tears to my eyes!! What an amazing man, such a testimony, leader of Christ -- BEAUTIFUL!! I also want to ask, thank you for being open to his kindness ... sometimes its easy to live in your own bubble and you might have missed this incredible opportunity to share, pray and be inspired!! <3

If I REALLY need something good and satisfying, I'll have a tablespoon of chocolate chips, a gogurt, a piece of whole wheat toast with some sugar free jam, green tea with honey, reduced cal hot coco made with water, 100cal kettle corn popcorn...all those are around 100cals or less and very satisfying! Happy munching!! :)

It's different because of ur intensity and heart rate. Increase intensity thus heart rate =s more cals burned

Thats PER piece!! ~60cals is a lot for that small of a bit

I make these too!!! So good!! usually skip the coconut to shave the cals but I LOOOOOVE these! The chips give it just enough sweetness!

Said it PERFECTLY!! You keep doing the same thing, you get the same results!! I'm obviously not a guy but it ALWAYS happens when you AREN'T looking for it!

Said

Everyone has their own thing they do, but I don't want to become obsessed about my weight because afterall, that is not the most important thing. Sometimes I think seeing our wt progress on here, can make it a huge focal point. To some, maybe I do weigh myself a lot, but I weigh myself each day, first thing in the morning…

AGREED!!! You have to be nice, politically correct, blah blah blah -- world is VERY sensitive!

Your "after" picture does NOT do you justice...you need a new one, in focus so your inner and outer beauty can shine! You are a warrior!!! Incredible job!!!!!

I'm so proud of you and your hubby! You are right, you definitely needed to SEE IT!! Last Wednesday (thats usually family night out for a meal) we went to On the Border. I got fish tacos thinking thatd be something I like and not a whole lot of calories -- WRONG!! I was shocked. I went way over but Im getting to SEE why…

I don't think what your eating is bad at all but this meal for example, is more processed. Sometimes 2 pieces of bacon and 2 egg whites, or a whole wheat english muffin with cheese, egg white and a piece of bacon are great alternatives and LESS tan 250cals! I find that I'm starving when I eat a frozen meal. I usually try…

1) I love gogurts -- esp the cotton candy 70cals and there are even greek ones with a bit more protein -- freeze em and they are an awesome treat or bring with you, by the time its lunch, you can eat (they thaw out and perfectly safe by lunch time) OR - do a Plain greek yogurt, add 1T of cocoa and 1 pkt of stevia or…

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! So proud of you!!! simply amazing!! I think its interesting how weight looks differently on people. Just because one person weight 190, 140 ... whatever it maybe ... might not look the same on someone else. I always say, its not the number, but the size and how you feel. And I betting your size is small…
