Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. For the record, I did see the doc and I check out fine.... dangit! ;) Changed my settings to reflect that I work out more than I had it set for before.....and it subtracted ten calories. Go figure. I WILL get this....failure is not an option. Just wish success was a little faster in…

You got this girl!!! Way to go!

It is hard!!! If you look at all the girls in the DVD, they are sweating their *kitten* off too. I still can't do a push up to save my life, but I do as best I can. I did level one for ten days, then have been at level two for 5 days. You WILL get stronger. Day one of both, I thought I was going to die, but as time went on…

SOO in the same boat. Was pretty skinny my whole life (but of course thought I was fat), but gained 60 pounds with my son. He just turned four and (other than when I was pregnant with him), I am the heaviest I have ever been. Please feel free to add me. Would love to do this with someone who can relate!

Right with you! Just had Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake this week. While it was amazing at the time, I was sooo sick to my stomach afterwards. Not sure if it was from guilt or the cake itself.....but it cured me for awhile.

I feel your frustration. I was up this week too. Just keep fighting!!!! You will get this. (at least that is what everyone told me when I was venting) :)

bumping to see what you find out. I went from couch riding to working out everyday.....I GAINED this week. Grr. Keep at it though. The changes you are making on the inside are soo much more valuable than the ones on the outside.

I joke all the time that my closet is like Oprah's. If you look at it, it looks like there are multiple women living here.

Angela, the great thing is you started on here. Everyone is soo encouraging and motivating. True, I can not say I know how it is to be in your shoes, but I can say I know what it is like to not like yourself and be so discouraged and depressed. If losing ten pounds is too daunting, take it hour by hour. There are times I…

Agree with maxymom. Saltines rock when you are prenant. Also, I found if I kept up with my protein, the morning (and afternoon.....and night.......and middle of the night) sickness wouldn't be as bad. Check with your doc on the tuna though. My doc wanted me to limit it as the mercury levels. Everybody and every doc is…

Thanks for asking! I think I am getting the Polar FT4 too. Hopefully going to find it during the Memorial Day sales everywhere.

Bump. In the same boat. Keep at it!! You are doing great!!

Oh honey! You win the "life sucks" award! I am soo sorry you are going through all this. Sounds like you are giving so much you have nothing left for yourself. I hope you find some time to heal. You have suffered a horrible loss. I am not going through anything you are, but know what it is like to be all alone in child…

bumpin to find out the answer too!

JUST finished Day 2 of level 2. Everyone's body reacts differently. Have the upper body strength of a baby bird, so I am a big hater of the planks. There is a lot of that in level 2. Agree about the sweating too. MUCH yuckier than level one. But my legs are pretty tough, so I enjoyed that part more than in level one.…

bumping to see the answers you get. I am on Level 2, day 2. I gave myself a rest during level 1 because I had to! But, I thought the plan was for 30 day straight. Wondered about rest days myself.

Laughing to myself because I basically posted the same thing to my friends today. Told them I did not want to exercise because I did not want to try and figure out what else to eat. I agree with majority of posters though. Sodium is a killer. Everyone says shop around the outside of the store to help cut down on that. Skip…

bump!

I stopped tracking sugar because a banana would do me in every day. Not all sugars are alike. Like everyone else is saying watch the added sugar and sugar in processed stuff. Fruits are just fine!

That is the spirit! Shake it off and start over!

5'3" here! Actually, last appointment doc said I was 5'2" and 3/4 but I refuse to believe I am shrinking already. Don't hit 40 until September. :) Please add me! It is hard watching all these 6 footers losing mega weight each week and I am fighting for every ounce. NO offense tall peeps, but there has to be something about…

PrairieRose, thanks! I do have to watch my sodium too. The Bob Evans day I was referring to, I got their turkey sandwich (REALLY bad choice) and it had over 2800 in sodium!!! Got home and looked it up on the website and about passed out. All I could do not to run to the bathroom and throw up! Can't eat out anymore because…

bumping on yours to see the answer. I am always sooo tempted to click on it, but knowing my luck it is a virus or some damn pop up I will NEVER get rid of. I eat bananas almost every day. They better not be bad for you!

12by311, holy crap! I have been doing it all wrong. Thanks!!!! Something really bizarre about eating MORE on a diet.

Ahfuge, please tell me how you figure out my calories. Maybe that is where I am going wrong too. I always try to be over 1200 for my food calories. Like I said before, I am no longer getting the starvation warning when I do that. So thought I was doing ok. really don't know what I am doing! How do you calculate 1000?? I am…

Thanks! Can't even talk about the Bob Evans and fish stick day. SHAME. Lost my mind for a bit. Will try to eat more, but get scared when I see all the red. By the end of the day, all I have left is carbs and fat....already used up my fiber and protein. Can't figure out what to eat that is just carbs and fat.

ALL I drink is water. I added a little fruit juice a couple times this week because I ran out of fresh fruit at home. (tomorrow is shopping day).

Diary should be public now. Let me know if it is not!

Am I??? I go by the food net. Should I be looking at something else??? When I first started in Jan, I used to get the starvation warning all the time, but I don't get that anymore.

Sorry! thought it was. Will go in and try again!
