Awesome!!! Keep up the good work! I think 25 lbs by the end of February is a reasonable goal and you can definitely attain it!!!

This is to be expected with anyone just starting to workout. Muscle weighs more than fat so as your fat is being burned and you are gaining muscle, you will gain weight but may notice your clothes fit a little looser. That is why the measurements are the best way to gauge body change in the beginning.

This is a great idea! I will have to use this as I do the same thing with some ingredients.

I go shopping once a week if we need anything. I have a menu planner that I fill out Saturday night for the following week. If I have all the ingredients I don't go shopping at all and will just send my husband to stop after work for fruits and veggies. Make a list and stick to it. Also don't take your cart down the…

It's water that your body has retained because of lack of water intake and likely high sodium levels. Once you start drinking the right amount of water, your body won't retain nearly as much because it knows it will get more. Hope that makes sense.

According to a lot of charts, my "ideal" weight is 135lbs. I would be skin and bones if I weighed 135 lbs. I am shooting for 165 and believe that will be a very healthy look and feel for my body type. All these BMI calculators don't take into concern the type of your body.

I find something similar in the database or I enter just the main ingredients. Small amount of herbs aren't going to change the nutritional content that much. Don't worry about falling off, just get back on and keep chugging. You can do it!

I did the same thing and thought the same thing! Then I realized I need to not question my weight loss but rather be thankful that I have started a path to becoming a healthy, happier person. Congrats on the weight loss and keep it up!
