It was definitely awesome to watch. I did my stationary bike exercise while watching. I ramped up the tension and pushed myself harder and harder as the show went on. It's a motivational show for sure :)

Awesome! I've also cut out frozen lunches :) I'm much larger to start out with, but many shirts are fitting much better. Congrats :)

I find that my recumbent bike doesn't hurt my butt as much as an upright haha!

Italian Pork Chops Ingredients: 8 oz.. sliced mushrooms 1 tsp bottled minced garlic 1 Tbsp lemon juice 6 boneless pork chops (about 2.5 pounds) 1 (26 oz.) jar of spaghetti sauce (Classico Tomato and Basil used to calculate nutrition info) (I added 1 small onion to mine) Directions: Put mushrooms, garlic, and lemon juice in…

I would suggest getting a heart monitor. I found out that with the heart monitor, I burn more on the treadmill than it actually thinks that I am. Depending on how hard your workout is, it's quite possible after 25 minutes you're burning more than the computer says it is. For things it doesn't have, I create my own…

With a healthy attitude, proper workouts and such :) I think you can :) Good luck!

Don't worry too much. You're making slow changes, and it sounds like you're doing fantastic. I hate not seeing any progress, or not as much as I thought I did. Don't get discouraged... I know, easier said than done :). Push through and keep doing wonderful. You'll see the inches fall off faster than weight, which is much…

Was looking for a great chicken recipe for tonight, and this is quite a catch. Thanks. I'd grill it, but as I cook alone and am terrible, I'll be baking instead haha. Thanks again :)

If you will get determined, you can totally do the gym instead of the drive thru. It's a productive time instead of eating the wrong things :). And since you're doing some work now, adding the gym can only help you :). I'm also an emotional eater. however, I decided to build a home gym with a stationary bike and treadmill…

I love listening to Paramore or the Killers while working out, mixed with a little Shinedown or Skillet lol

I'm one of those weirdos who loves canned mushrooms and really don't eat fresh ones. just wash them, and i'm sure it'll reduce it. not sure how much, but that's how i do it.

I'm also a Heavy watcher :) I got sick at one point and went and worked out for another 30+ minutes on the treadmill. I feel so much better having done twice as much as planned today for my workout haha. I love the show, despite how terrible their situations. It's great to see them achieve because then I know I can achieve…

I've only gotten sick when I haven't had enough water or nutrition for the day. Are you wearing a heart monitor ? If your heart rate is getting too high, pause the workout to catch a breath to try to avoid that. I think that's also something that causes a headache along with dehydration. Sometimes after a workout, I'll…

You're doing great staying on track here. Don't feel ashamed because now that you're aware, it'll keep you motivated to exercise and eat properly :) just like the rest of us :)

I love my Kinect (recently purchased). I hate the idea of the wii just because of the remote.. I feel i am able to engage more of my body, even just doing the games. I haven't even purchased exercise games yet because the regular games are quite a workout haha. Love my xbox, and I've never had a problem with one... we have…

I own a 2001 chevy cavalier and a 2003 Toyota 4Runner. Fiance drives the toyota though, so i have the gas saver lol

I use the Campbell's website. I usually only spend about 20 minutes, sometimes less, putting a meal together. My favorite is Sweet & Spicy Picante Chicken. 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound) 1 jar (16 ounces) Pace® Picante Sauce 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard…

PPPPPPPPPPUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good or bad weather, just get moving :) Good luck!!!

Always look to tomorrow :) I'm sure you'll do great tomorrow walking there and back. Hills kill me :). Try doing it in steps.... do part of it as a warmup, so a moderate pace... then speed up for parts of it when you get your energy back, then back down to a slower pace. You'll get there :) We just have to work harder for…

I'm totally in too. I have gone over 2 weeks without soda... I cheated with two pepsis my first week of working out... it was soooo hard :) My weakness is dr pepper, so it's been 3 weeks without it. I will join in and keep staying away from soda :) I have replaced soda with green tea, water, and hot tea (for coffee…

I quit coffee for one particular reason: I don't like black coffee... I add sugar and creamer (both terrible)... So I haven't had coffee in almost 3 weeks. I think it's definitely helped push me to lose weight more consistently, but I'm unsure if coffee keeps you from losing weight.

I eat one of "those meals" every day for lunch. I usually have to eat lunch out of my office due to the chaotic nature... I choose the ones that are low in most things, and I stay away from sodium as a rule because I hate salt. If you drink enough water, then the sodium intake will be flushed out much better than just…

Well, let's see... reward yourself for a goal of weight loss each week.. go out and do something you do enjoy instead of buying clothes... i won't go buy clothes yet either.... i'd rather wrap a belt around myself twice as i get smaller. i do a weekly cheat night... like tomorrow, i'm going out with friends ... while i…

I refuse to use an elliptical... it causes my asthma to flair up in about 5 minutes and then my knees hurt because i'm almost too short to use it properly. I love my treadmill. I burn almost 400 calories in 36 minutes. And that has helped me lose about 2 pounds a week so far. But the previous post is correct, variety keeps…

If he always does the same thing, don't go with him. It'll only cause problems. My bf is sent away to the men's department until we get home. Then I try it on and say "too bad" haha. Gotta find a different solution than drowning in a cookie... make him eat the cookie lol

I've been doing the Biggest Loser 30 day jumpstart... I purchased a heart rate monitor so that I can track how many calories i burn during the workout, since it doesn't have it in the database. Hope that helps :) good luck!

Oddly, I lost 2 pounds instead of my 1.... I'm up to almost 4 pounds lost... But don't worry about it. :)

Great idea signing up. I love this site. I've lost 4 pounds, and I know that I couldn't have done it without the help of all these great people and the calorie counter. Good luck!

For sugars, fresh fruit has a lot of sugar. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. You're getting the more natural sugar from fruit as opposed to eating candy bars and ice cream. Protein can be obtained through numerous sources, such as eggs and broccoli, I believe. Sugar is very easy to go over. I would suggest…

You and I are very similar :). 5'2" and 214 lb. start weight. I am trying to lose almost 100 pounds :). Good luck!
