Especially as you get closer to your goal, it will be harder to lose. But on the bright side, you're closer to your goal!

Are you speaking from experience? I had quite a different experience.

I really disagree about the pulp. You don't want the pulp. It's not a smoothie fast, it's a juice fast.

I've done it. You will mostly get negative responses here, but I felt great on my juice fast and lost 18 pounds in 19 days. And food tastes unbelieveably fantastic when you beak fast. One tip- you want to avoid pulpy juice (no smoothies!) as it will make you hungry. After a few days your digestive system will quiet way…

Wow! Like 2 different people. I like the beard. Looks good on you.

I did level 1 quite a few times and never got to the point where I could do all of it. Never felt it get easier either. But that's just me!

Oh wow! You're gorgeous!

Someone above makes a good point-- start out with an easily manageable weight while you learn good form and various swings. Work up to heavier.

This is a good one to start with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pDMOIlPLFE I LOVE doing kettlebells. I do most of this routine with a 10 pounder (I'm an old lady) but a couple I do with a 15 pounder. I'm going to try to do more with the 15 lb because I need more muscle soreness in my life.

At your age and weight, you may lose pounds very quickly at 1200 cals. per day. You could certainly start at a high amount and adjust it down as you lose.

And then wake up 12 times to pee...

When I went to Busch Gardens with my hefty ex and he wanted to go on a roller coaster-type ride, he had to wait to one side while others got seated so they could put him in the special fat seat. He was mad and humiliated of course.... But really, you guys who weigh 275 and are complaining, what weight do you think every…

Wow, that's a big change. Good for you!

I can see a difference. You look great. The whole family is adorable actually.

Is that the title of a country-western song?

Personally I love that feeling. Hope to get it again this weekend.

I haven't been there for a while so don't know if they still stock these but they had these really frozen skinny green beans that I used to put my homemade spaghetti sauce on when I made spaghetti for the fam. I called it my green spaghetti. Delicious. Also just great as a vegetable. Another favorite of mine was their…

Water, coffee, tea, and a little box wine.

1/2 cup of pistachio ice cream after dinner.

I like the crusts best. I would eat only crust.

I'm not gonna disagree about the value of lifting but if your gf only picks up 5 lb weights now, she is not suddenly going to be ABLE to pick up 50 pounds just because you tell her she should do it. She'll have to work up to it and gain strength. You want to challenge your muscles, yes, but don't injure yourself.

I think this is one instance where no one's gonna tell you to eat more to lose more.

I can't even imagine what that is. Kegels usually get the job done.

You're kidding, right?

Yep. Kids need guidance and a good example to follow and encouragement to form good habits. All that comes from the parents. Or not.

Nice. You're adorable!

I think there could be a safety issue too, like suppose there were many 300+ lb passengers getting on the same flight and the plane is rated for X number of people at an average weight of X.

Folks, buy yourself a grinder. It's a great investment. You can get a hand grinder or an add-on to a KitchenAid mixer (what I have). There's a lot to choose from. For small quantities, a small size foor processor gives a pretty good result. I haven't bought any commercially ground meat products since the first article…

I've done level 1 a bunch and no, Jillian keeps saying throughout "There's no modified version of this!" She's a sadist. Of course she can't see you. you CAN do your own modifications.

This "problem" has been addressed in many, many threads that you can easily search for. Short answer, eat more. At some point you knew how to get to 1200 calories and even higher, right?
