Another thing is, WE ALL go through ups and downs, weight wise and emotionally. Anyone who tells you it was a breeze is not only lying to you, they are lying to themselves too. It makes a lot of sense from someone who also struggles with body image to get some help there. It is important to know that you may not lose the…

Hi Maddie - In the long run i is about you! Figure out you are worth this journey and start it (actually you did, as you are here). Now ask for what you need - you did. Now get out there and run with it. Friend a few of us, then take some time and see who is working for the same goals you are. Reevaluate and continue…

I have never done 6 wk 6 pack, but I have done 3 of her other videos - 30 day shred, ripped in 30 and her Yoga one. If you follow what she says you WILL see results. I did 30 day shred all at level 1 and even tho I still have fat covering my muscles I now have definition in my arms and I can totally feel my abs. I for one,…

3500 calories is a pound - so if what you are doing now at 2000 calories is keeping you at the same weight - delete 500 calories/day would equal 1 pound loss per week. BUT DON'T go down to less than 1200 calories a day - your body needs that fuel just to survive - so try 1500 calories for a couple of weeks and see how that…

I am 5'3" and 50 and having trouble losing at 1200 - 1500. I think I need to look at your diary and see what we are doing differently!

I HATE to exercise, but I do it - why, cause I don't want flab!! I actually lose slower when I exercise because I am trading some of my fat weight to muscle weight and as muscle is denser than fat it takes up less space so I am SLOWLY losing. I have lost before without exercising and I have been loose (flabby) hate that…

Our bodies fluctuate - especially women, with the time of the month, what you ate 2 days ago, salt intake, time of day when the last time you had a bowel movement, etc. Find a day/date and be consistent there. Once a month, once a week, IT DOES NOT MATTER. I think the scale plays mind games with many of us, so don't let…

WATER water and more water. Flush the toxins out. Also, try lighter weights. You have to keep at it. Just go lighter weights and modify the back exercises to protect your back. P90x is so not for everyone, I won't even try it!

If you do not eat enough calories then your body will store everything instead of letting it burn off. This is a huge reason for many people not losing weight. You must fuel your vehicle - and you are making it a high performance vehicle by exercising - you need to give it high performance fuel - which it sounds like you…

I have been playing the same weight loss/gain cycle so I totally am with you. We have been moving, now a new job, different stresses, etc and so on. I have finally gotten my head out of my butt and am ready to start again. Friend me and we can support each other through this journey. I see it as a one day at a time thing.…

Sounds so familiar it is almost scary. For me it is a compulsive eating disorder - once I stray off my beaten path then I am like a boulder rolling downhill. I would say that until you can totally control it, give it up. Because most diets don't work, my suggestion is a lifestyle change rather than a diet. For me, my…

Tea, cream of wheat, yogurt, oatmeal - basically everything I think it might taste good on - raw fruit too. However I hope you are not eating the same meals everyday. Your body gets used to that and you may plateau! Also, make sure you are getting enough calories. Nuff said

You are an inspiration. And just so you know, maybe, just maybe the few pounds are due to your injury, Just Sayin'. Congratulations and stay happy

You have a compulsive eating disorder - many of us do. But they go undiagnosed because everyone feels it is just a lack of willpower. It is worth a google and getting yourself some good reading material. There is a lot out there and it is a true medical condition. You can use some self help books or see a psychologist or…

First, you MUST eat daily. Your body needs fuel. When you start a cycle where you don't eat at all your body will try to store everything you do give it because it is afraid it won't get fed again. Second, muscle burns fat - so, as you are losing, it is good to start building muscle - I am not talking about bulk, but…

I just read from both Jillian Michaels and Chalene Johnson - two of the topmost fitness gurus for women that weight lifting is the key - lean muscle continues to burn calories even after the workout. HOWEVER you should not do the same body parts two days in a row. So day one do legs and abs, day 2 arms and back. Heavy…

The main way any of these things work is caffeine. I say NO! Try adding something new to your ruetine ie weights or kickboxing. Shake it up a litle and you will go forward without adding chemicals that shouldnt be maintained. Good luck

Congrats on coming so far and good choices in making this a lifestyle change. I have started again and struggle to keep the momentum. Be healthy and enjoy your young one!

I am thankful you friended me - You are an inspiration in words and actions!

You have what is known as a compulsive eating disorder. The comments you have gotten about doing this for yourself and not coparing yourself to your husband are all great, but until you get to the root of your problem - the compulsive eating, you will only be putting a bandaid on what truly needs a stitch. Please, go and…

I will reply later - when I have time, but I have some ideas for you

How about when we were walking down the mall yesterday - 3 women - and a guy handing out samples is going - psssst, pssst, and I finally asked him what, he says I want to give this to the pretty lady - one of the women I was with. The idiot was lucky I didn't hit him. What a freaking JERK!

As long as there is a locking door - you don't have a chance in hell of winning a case here!

Food is a big issue with MANY people. Too much, too little, fatty foods, only vegetables, etc. A lot of how it is viewed comes from your past. As an adult it is one of the few things you can 100% control. When you were little and someone put spinach in front of you and said eat it, mostly you did, because you were told to,…

We love zucchini and it seems to have sex in our garden and multiply. Sounds like a new change of pace!

Can't show you pictures, but I can tell you - I did the first level for 30 days - saw significant difference in my arms and my abs! My body hurt like hell the first 4 days but then it leveled off. Stick with it! You will be glad you did!

Having just lived through one of the worst years of my life (my partner had stage 4 throat/mouth cancer) I will tell you - GO TO THE DOCTOR. There is so much that can be done with early detection. Good Luck
