LOL I get what you mean. I think it has more to do with motvation. If they are motivated enough to do it - if they WANT it badly enough - they will do it. No questions asked. :)

I don't know so much about wraps, other than it helps you lose water weight by making you dehydrated (which is why they will tell you to drink so much water). It helps with the number on the scale, but not with the % of fat in your body. Only YOU can do that with eating good, clean, whole foods and exercising.

yes, honey is better than sugar.

Don't get bored. :)

Try switching things up a bit. For example, you could eat the majority of your simple carbs (like pasta and bread and such) in the beginning half of the day, and keep your evenings for mostly proteins and veggies. If your weight (and measurements) isn't changing, then you have to try something different. Just a thought.

I know what you're saying. Last year, my husband was 357 lbs. Now he's a little less than 250 lbs. No surgery; only eating real, clean food; exercising 6 days a week. It's totally and completely doable. He didn't want to do any surgery because he felt the procedures to be too invasive with a long recovery time, and he also…

Nutrition is about 80% of what your results are going to be. You'll find a lot of people here on MFP saying "calories in, calories out". But if you think about it, that is SO UNTRUE!!! 1400 calories of good, whole, REAL food is completely different than 1400 calories of junk like pre-made food, processed food, soda/pop,…

There are other ways to workout and get that exercise in. What else do you like to do?

No. I don't push anyone to purchase anything. This is ONLY to encourage and motivate each other to eat better.

bump!

I just wanted to give a last shout out for those who want to join our group!

Have you noticed the "cover" girl for Herbalife? Her name is Ariane. She actually goes to my church. She did lose a bunch of weight, but as soon as she was done the program, she gained it all back; she's practically back to where she was in the beginning! I don't think this program is good for long term, sustained weight…

My appetite does increase during my cycle, but I do workout during it - even when I don't want to - I ALWAYS feel better after I workout. But if you feel sick, maybe you should do a less intense workout - so you're still moving, but just not so much that you get sick afterwards.

My husband is doing the fat loss macro balance; he is doing 50p/30c/20f

I would go walking over elliptical, but that's just for me because my heart rate does not go up as much on the elliptical as it does for me walking. But everyone is different.

I aim for around 300-400 calories burned a day during my workout.

T25 kicks my butt every day. Some days I feel like I want to add in an upper body exercise, but I haven't yet. I've lost 5 lbs and 9.5" in the past 2.5 weeks - it's definitely working!

I know how you feel! I've had shin splints before, and it's incredibly frustrating when you're trying to run but you're in too much pain to! For me, it was because my shoes were not the right shoes for me - I purchased a new pair at my local Running Room, and I haven't had them since - but it is time for me to replace my…

I've tried to get into the 30DS, but I just couldn't. The same thing pretty much every day was sort of boring for me. But not everyone is the same, and I'm sure you will get results if you stick with it. :)

I think so. When I give blood in the morning, it takes me pretty much the rest of the day to recover, but I'm okay after that. But I would suggest talking with someone, like your doctor, or even call up the blood bank and ask their opinion.

I LOOOVE TurboFire - it is the only workout program that makes me WANT to work out, you know? The workouts are so much fun, and I lost 30 lbs when I did the program. I think you can totally keep your curves if you want to keep them. Remember, you are in charge of what you look like. And even though Chalene's core looks…

Oh, sorry, I thought the title was explanation enough! lol It's 15 days, we're starting with a certain amount of push ups on day one, and we will be steadily increasing until day 15. There are three rest days included with that. And it will be on Facebook.

No, I don't drink pop at all anymore. The way I see it, I want RESULTS. And I get results quicker without pop (or soda, as Americans say). Sure, it's not going to kill me to drink one every once in a while, but I don't think it's worth it. I'm on a journey towards health and wellness, not just weight loss. There is not a…

It will be! Do you want to join?
