YEAY! So excited!!! Both Team Madison and Emma sound fun, but I'm pretty much game for anything :)

My newest addiction is Walden Farms zero calorie Sesame Seed salad dressing! I love it because I don't have to waste calories or skimp on dressings and it makes my salads delicious ! The company also makes zero calorie ketchup, Mae syrup, chocolate syrup, and several other dressings.

:) I echo everyone else's sentiments. I was nervous, too, and hated working out in the common area with all the mirrors. Everyone else looked tone and there I was, doing jumping jacks with my belly jumping more than the rest of me. Thing is, while people did look at me and some stare, they weren't thinking what I thought.…

Not busy at all! Our gym is part of a club and is really hidden, so many people don't know about it and those who do think its expensive (It's not! Our family membership is cheaper than LA Fitness and rivals that of YMCA). Those who do sign up rarely drop. For one, the atmosphere is amazing and two the front desk people…

Truly an inspiration!

Guess I should have clarified : It's lactose and casein free, so it doesn't have the proteins he's allergic to.

Ya, weird, right? Something in cow's milk (like casein or lactose) is really irritating his stomach. So that means I have to cut it out of my diet. I can't eat anything with dairy or whey...so no regular milk (I drink lactaid now), no yogurt, no cheese, no chocolate, no nada. Seriously the hardest diet ever!

CW: 188.8 GW: 130 Height: 5'8 I don't know how much I'll lose in the next 10 weeks, but I'd be really happy if I could break into the 160's....I doubt that will happen, but gotta dream big, right?

I'm down :) Are any of ya'll following a specific program? Mind sharing :)

I have more than I can count. The two most recent ones are : "Wow! You've really decided to let yourself go now that you are married " ( from personal trainer. I was 6months pregnant but she didn't know and I was too shocked to way anything. I just went to a corner of the gym and cried) " your bigger now than when you were…

Wow! Thank you all for the positive support and strong motivation :) Last night my husband hosted an MMA party, and there was temptation everywhere! 6 boxes of pizza (all looking stunningly delicious), two types of bufffalo wings, 4 different kinds of fries, and chips galore! All I could think about was "This HAD to happen…

me too ! when I first started I lost 6 pounds easy, since then I've gained it back and the scale hasn't budged an ounce in 2 months. I've started exercising, now I'm going to track my diet more rigorously and get my thyroid checked. It's super discouraging. All of my other friends with babies are back to their pre-pregnant…
-
Wow, thanks, everyone!! I think ya'll are right: I'll skip the short-term cleanse and maintain my current regime. I just thought it would be one of those "insta-boosts" for energy and activity (it seemed to work that way for my friend)....but starving myself and only drinking my meals doesn't seem like it would give me a…

A guy walking on the treadmill with scuba gear (snorkel in mouth, goggles and all). Not gross, but interesting....

I like to workout in the morning. I find it sets my day off to a strong start: I have lots of energy, I'm excited,I know how many extra calories I can eat that day, and (even if I do nothing at all the rest of the day) I feel like I accomplished something. I've tried working out in the evening. I didn't like it as much…

I have started taking OxyElite Pro, tonalin+CLA in addition to the standard Syntha-6 protein shake and multi-vitamins. I started this on 8/3 and I have already noticed a difference. I've lost 4 pounds so far :) I have always been skeptical as well, so I've started documenting my progress on my blog. Feel free to read it if…

Yoga is always nice, you can adjust it to your needs, go at a slower pace and really focus on stretching those muscles and creating a leaner look. There are several videos on youtube you can check out to get started . Just make sure when you break fast in the evenings you don't go overboard! It's a mistake to just eat…

If it was super hot, you probably drank a lot. May be water/fluid retention. I had the same issue: was working out like crazy, eating right and then had a gain and was like, "Where the heck did this come from?" Some of it is just undigested food in the intestines. Take 2 cups of prune juice (try to get the one without high…

Oh I take it 3x a day! I make a batch of iced tea and add 2 sweet N lows, 1-2 teaspoon Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, and some lemon. It's absolutely delicious! (My Fiance does it similarly. He uses green tea, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Still good!)
-
Another aspect you have to monitor is your sodium intake. Do you eat a lot of salty foods or drink a lot of beverages full of solutes (gatorade, soda, fruit juices with high fructose corn syrup)? All those things, in addition to your TOM, can cause bloating. The retention of fluids is probably where the 2 pounds is coming…

I know all too well how you feel! I'm the epitome of not feeling comfortable in my own skin. I've put off my wedding for 2 years because I was not at "wedding weight" and .... with stress from work and life, I have lost and regained all that I tried to lose. This week I finally got on the scale and was alarmed to see how…
