  • Fluctuating between a few pounds. I wish there was a way to know if I definitely lost a pound or if its just my body fluctuating or my scale being slightly off. I've literally been bouncing around a three pound difference for like 2 1/2 weeks. Also websites that give me "simple recipes" and they cost like $50 just to make…
  • Tip the bartender to fill your shots with water instead? lol. If you don't think your family and friends are going to let you not drink, then maybe it would be best to not go. If your heart is really into it though, you could always exercise twice as much for the rest of the week? I am also doing T25! You could do the…
  • I actually did Blogilates for awhile! She is really cool and i love the nifty little food ideas that she has! Im just not so much into doing workouts on my laptop and prefer a TV workout.
  • If you've ever experienced eating too much chocolate, try to remember exactly how nauseous you felt afterwards. Then you kinda get sick of the thought of eating chocolate for a bit and the craving goes away. At least it does for me.
  • Spend time researching stuff for weight loss or success stories for weight loss. That's what I do when I am bored. (I don't know what you are able to do at your work though). It helps keep you busy and motivates you to keep eating healthy or maybe even plan a little bit of exercise for later!
  • Me being at the end of this where I am receiving the clothes, I did not take it offensively. She lost a lot of weight and I know I am bigger than her. It is nice to have some benefits from being bigger as bad as that sounds. lol. Though I could still see someone taking it offensively. I just don't think that everyone would…
  • My target weight loss is 2 lbs per week so I don't think it is too high of a goal.
  • I did calculators online...maybe I should try to look for a different TDEE calculator. I felt like that was really high.
  • 1) Running in public without feeling self conscious 2) Summer dresses 3) Doing simple tasks like running up two flights of stairs without getting winded easily 4) Feel pretty! I could make a list that goes on for miles!
  • I get pressure all the time from people trying to get me to eat more food. It is especially difficult for me to say no to my family because they feel bad that I am not eating the food that they made. My parents get really upset when someone doesn't eat their food. For example, they will say that I am saying their food…
  • I haven't lost much yet but last year when I was trying, I managed to lose a little more than ten pounds... Best: Wow, you look a lot smaller! Worst: Don't get your hopes up about losing weight, I don't want you to get excited about something that probably won't happen...
  • 1) Liquid Egg Whites 2) Turkey Bacon 3) Steamers - Frozen Broccoli
  • You could always try using something you like and he doesn't and vise versa for rewards and punishments. For example: I love chick flicks and my husband hates them. If he doesn't work out, then I get to pick out a chick flick for both of us to watch. If I don't exercise, I am stuck watching him play video games because I…
  • I know I was reading something she wrote once and she said to put it under calisthenics. Hope this helps! I love her videos!
  • I dont really think its the body knowing that makes the difference, I think at night may just have more negative factors. Such as if you had a rough day you may not want to work out or if some unforeseen event happens. Not very much happens in the early AM, at least for me. I also feel like if I work out at night, I do not…
  • Drinking one glass a wine has a lot of benefits too. I am not encouraging anything, but only one a day isn't bad for you as long as you are making room in your calorie budget. Heres a website that tells you the benefits. http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20410287,00.html
  • Fruit cups are an easy go for me. I love no sugar added mandarin orange fruit cups.
  • I havent read through all of the posts to see if this was suggested already or not, but try making slight switches that make it healthier but kind of the same food. Such as: low fat cheese, sour cream, and yogurts. Or try turkey burgers and turkey meat for your tacos. Once you start getting all of the seasonings added, you…
  • I haven't tried Hot Body but I do have the body revolution. It was a pretty fun work out, just make sure you have a lot of space because she makes you do things like suicides which kind of requires the whole room!
  • I have a lot of issues with juggling work, school, and exercise too! My friend does insanity and loves it. I personally die every time I do it so I went with the Rockin body work out. It is still done by Shaun T from Insanity but its a lot easier. I find having too hard of a workout discourages me from working out. But…
  • I really liked this article! Especially since I have bought the Nutribullet. I am entirely in love with it. I am currently experiencing very good side effects since I have done a lot of research on what needs to go in my drinks but I always love to read more about it.
  • What irritates me the most is when I have friends and family tell me I'm not fat...I am 5'4 at 210 lbs. I am obese. It's a hard thing to say and I hate it...but it's better than being in denial. I get that they are trying to be nice, but do they really think that I am dumb enough to believe them? If anything, it makes me…
  • I think you are supposed to just weigh yourself once a week because you will fluctuate and that helps even you out to get a good estimate....But I weigh myself everyday...sometimes more than once a day! Weighing myself gives me a little reminder that I need to keep exercising or show me that I am doing good. So I think as…
  • I am hoping to lose 75 lbs but right now I am setting my goal for 50 or 60 pounds. I know how it is to try to lose weight for a wedding and not lose any so try to stick with it so you can be as happy as possible on your big day! I had so many people telling me to not get my hopes up and I feel like that is what brought me…
