I weigh in the morning after bathroom and before taking in any liquids or food, every 3 days. I like to see what's happening with my body more often and it makes a better graph. It's a little choppier but keeps me a little more focused so I don't have 2 bad days in a row because I'm paranoid not to have a weigh-in where…

I'm in Chattanooga and just 2 weeks in going after 40 lbs. that snuck up on me. My wife is 113 lbs. with very active metabolism so that is a challenge.

count me in, I'm always looking for new info.

be glad to help, I'm 15 days in and about 9 lbs. down

I'm trying to take off 40 lbs by the end of April. I've been going 15 days and have taken off just shy of 10lbs. Can always use the support and will provide the same.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I'm in and I'll concentrate on form when I first get it since not getting hurt is always my first exercise goal!

I like your attitude, feel free to add me.

I'm on a 40 lb. journey I just started 12 days ago and I am very impatient and love hearing and being irreverent! Feel free to add.

Find a boyfriend with money and eat out a lot!

I'm committed to being at my College weight by May 1!

I'm game if somebody can tell me how to post an image to this thread.

I just started a week ago and it's working well. I have a 40lb. weight loss goal. Feel free to add me.

Have been using a 9 tray excalibur for about 5 years and love it, almost as much as my Vita-Mix.

David Wolfe and Dr. Gabriel Cousens are 2 of my favorite raw authors. Dr. Cousens addresses the medical issues you can sometimes confront eating all raw. However, the issues you may face eating all raw are miniscule compared to the increased risks you face eating a typical SAD diet filled with chemicals and toxins.

I've been dabbling with raw for about 5 years and went one 90 day period exclusively raw, lost down to 152 lbs., a good weight for me, and had abundant energy, slept great, perfect health. Now, not so much. However, I am back and focused and have been eating about 60 to 70% raw through smoothies and raw bars, bought and…

I was raw in Tennessee for 3 months and you would have thought I had a horn growing out of my head!:smile:

Sugar can definitely hinder your weight loss. Simple carbs spike your hormone levels resulting in a cascade of events causing you to store fat. Get your sugars from complex carbs as much as possible to avoid this pitfall. You can Google this and get much better explanations than I can provide here.

Love it! It's great to see so much passion and genuine passion is often born from experience. Obviously the ranter is convinced that her way is THE WAY like the guy who thought that the aerodynamics of an airplane was the only one that could fly until the helicopter was invented. The only diet scientifically proven to…

Girl you rocked it, great accomplishment!

Sounds pretty radical but modified fasting does give the body a great chance to complete internal chores which leads to healing and repair. I say just listen to your body carefully and let that be your guide. I'd like to hear how it's going on a periodic basis. I'm going to request you as a friend.

Try forcing yourself to drink 16 oz. of water first and then wait 10 minutes before you decide if you are going to eat or drink anything else. Also, you can have healthy, low cal snacks on hand that don't require prep on those days you need something. And, heh, a glass of wine, you could do much worse. You don't always…

Sounds like you're doing great. Add me if you need and accountability friend.

You sound like you're ready to make it happen! I'll encourage you along the way.

Hi Janna, I am also giving up grains as part of my plan. I'm shooting for 40 lbs. to get back to my college weight and to prepare for a big hike on the AT. I actually like the logging since it appeals to my analytical side, but I've only been doing it for 3 days. I feel very empowered to know exactly what my net calorie…

I just started 3 days ago and so far so good but I know it will only work if you log everyday...I need accountability and people to call me out if I'm lax

after 3 days I'm a daily logger and so far so good but I may need somebody to yank my chain when I get lax...i also don't always use good punctuation?

I'm up for some mutual motivation and butt kicking as well as encouragement.

I'm sure I will need my a__ kicked from time to time.

you've done it before and you can do it again!

Dude, I'll kick your butt if you kick mine! Just sent request.
