You had me at your title, lol! Yesterday I posted "second times a charm" welcome back

I have the workouts and have never made it past day 3 :( I have been debating starting it back up but I am scared I'll give up again.

Not currently but I did 2 yrs ago, lost 40 lbs in 21 days and kept it off until recently. My weight only came back because I was eating like crap. You will get sick of eating the same things but its so incredibly worth it. Your hunger will go away by day 3-5. Do Not Stray from the diet. My diet was only 3 weeks long. I did…

I can't run outdoors to save my life,lol. I need the treadmill so I know how fast I am going and how much time I have left. I too detest running/jogging but I get it done in 1 minute running/sprinting intervals with 2 minute walk in between. I do it for a minimum of 30 minutes and then walk fast for the rest of the hour. I…

I fell in love when I saw this topic. I am 4ft and 11 inches, my first goal from this current wait is to hit the 130's. Once I get there I will set another goal. I focus on 10 lb incriments short term to the main goal.

Have you tried any of the "Walk Away the Pounds" dvds by Leslie Sansone? It is a good way to switch up your walking routine and use other muscles because your are essentially walking in place with these dvds. I assure you, these dvds are GREAT!!! I get mine from netflix and or my local library that way you can try them out…

Jackie Warner has 2 workout dvds that are just weight training; "One on One training with Jackine" and "Personal Training with Jackie". I own both and think both are very good. I enjoy the cardio that I do on my own (elliptical, walking, or swimming) so all I need is weight training and if a session is longer then 20…

Fajitas. when it comes out do not actually make it in the tortilla, just eat the meat and veggies. You could also ask them to us little to no oil while cooking your fajita veggies.

the exact thing happened to me when I want down to 1200 cals a day. It took me playing around with my calories to find the right formula which is 1500 cals a day. but here is the weirdest thing... when I hit the wall I go and eat something unhealthy ( like a loaded chipotle burrito AND a bag of their chips with guacamole)…

Way to go! I wrote a note to my first 10 lbs lost, it felt great. Keep up the GOOD work!!!!!!

First off, please check with your OB/GYN before hand since you are pregnant. I was about 40lbs overweight when I became pregnant with my second child and was concerned about being overweight and pregnant and scared about gaining even more weight with the baby. My OB gave me the daily amount of calories that I must hit…

Check out your local library FIRST. My library allows us to look online for things such as exercise dvd's, place the request and pick it up when it comes in. I also do the same thing with Netflix. This way you can try things out, see what you like and what kind of strength programs you can commit to before spending money.

Way to go for working out! Personally, its ok to workout to be able to eat more because I needed that so bad right in the begining when I started this. I did cardio 6 times a week and it was usually 20-30 minutes on the elliptical at home OR my husband and I would go on walks together and we would try to aim for 40…

Too funny! I know what happened I am just pissed for some odd reason my DVR did not record this past week's episode, would have liked to have seen that.

First off, I was LMA ROF at your screen name, love it! Second, YEAH, you did a full day and now you know. This is a journey and a struggle and you can do it!!! I just decided to add sugars into my tracker and man oh man I consume way too much of those which I have found in my coffee creamers and salad dressings. We are all…

Personally, I would spread it out. I see that you have young children so if you are like me mornings are stressful so I would maybe do 15-20 minutes in the morning of whatever and then finish the rest at night. I am a SAHM so I do my hard workouts during nap time and then when all kids are asleep my husband and I take a…

I have found that interval cardio training for 20 minutes a day did wonders on my belly. I also do other workouts during the day but the interval training was to purely shed my belly. Do all the crunches you want in the world but if you do not shed the layers of fat you will never see the muscles. I follow the body for…

Since life is going to be so hectic for you I would plan ahead meaning prepare all meals in advance. When I was working ridiculous hours I went out and got a big lunch bag that was like a mini cooler with a strap on it. It held breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner on certain days. Plug in your days worth of food in the…

this site is the best! nice to meet you!

Glorious Appearing by Tim Lahay. It is book 11 of the 12 book serious Left Behind, AMAZING!!!

the one your talking about worked when it had ephedra in it, not so much anymore. Same thing with hydroxycut, quick trim, quick slim,Jillian Micheal's stuff, lipo 6, ect... I have tried 3 of the mentioned and know others who have tried the rest. The best fat burner I have seen work recently by my best friend is call melt…

Cooked egg white (in microwave) on 45 calorie bread toasted (Sarha Lee or Aunt Hatties brand of light bread) with .5 tb schmear of margarine. Or an egg and cheese burrito made with whole wheat low cal tortilla, egg whites, and a slice of your fav. cheese with a squirt of ketchup or some salsa. Or, same thing but replace…

Completely agree with dcw8636. I actually learned this watching years of biggest loser. The contestants would hit their platues, have a temptation challange and it always seemed that those who gave into temptation lost more weight again. I have tried this myself and it works every time.

You asked about needing to do the meal plan... My husband did not follow the meal plan but committed to the workout only and still had amazing results (lost almost 50lbs in 2 months) so if you are already successful like you said then its ok to just do the workouts.

I try out most workouts from netflix before I buy one. I am currently doing Biggest Loser boot camp (on week 3) and love it. My husband had P90X and I tried them with him. I am not successful with workouts that take longer then 30 minutes to do them, its just too long for me. The results are great and the workout is…

I have a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old, even though I am doing something everyday (cleaning, laundry, organizing, attending several playdates in a week) I still keep it at sedentary because it is not consistent every day so I don't want to count it. The only activity I count are my daily workouts (during nap time of…

The only thing I have noticed is that almost all of the adds here are bogas. I do not know if you got had but if what your doing is working then keep it up.

I had my cals set at 1500 in the beginning to compensate for breastfeeding. When I stopped breast feeding I lowered my cals to 1200 and lost no weight for 3 weeks. Did some research and sadly realized I put myself in starvation mode. I upped them back up to 1500 and started losing weight immediately. So yes, cals can be…

there are 21 meals in a week, so you messed up one of them... that still leaves 20 meals that are successful. Go do some exercise if your really upset about it. Mine (samoas) are in the fridge right now calling my name but I only limit myself to 2 which is the serving size but I think the thin mints are 4 a serving.

Green beans with sliced almonds tossed with a little bit of butter, you can get this in the freezer section in most grocery stores. My mother is a carb hater so I know how you feel. I wouldn't go out of your way for dessert, your being kind enough to accommodate dinner for him. But if you must maybe buy some carbwell…
