  • I personally like the quote "You are what you eat." It is simple and straight to the point. Yours is great too though.
  • I too am experiencing the same thing. It is totally normal. I started at 197, dropped to 192, dropped to 187, up to 193, down to 185, up to 187, down to 181, up to 185, down to 178, up to 182, down to 177 which is where i am at now. I notice when it is that time of the month i go up by 5-6 lbs, and when it is over i retain…
  • The point of the recalibration is because as your body changes and adapts it gets used to doing things so you need to change it up to get a challange so you can continue to lose weight. This is why many ppl give up. They stop losing so much weight and get board so you give up when it gets tough again. I also have gone…
  • My husband got tired of me prancing around the house everytine i lost a pound or two, so i do my happy dance when he is not here. he tells me i look better but doesn't celebrate the small victories with me. However he has started hitting the gym this past 2 weeks and ordered the p90x so i am glad that he is following my…

  • I would love to be your quitting buddy. I have been smoking since i was 13 so that means i have been doing it for 15years which is more than half my life. I am already smokin less than 10 cigs per day but need someone to quit with. My husband is a nonsmoker and doesn't understand how hard it is. i have tried to quit before…
  • As for the brusing it could be a lack of vitimin c. Make sure to take a high quality multivitimin or a multipack with omega3 fish oil. I would talk to your dr about your diet and exercise and see if they have an insight. I have lost 18 and my pants are baggy but i am not in the next size down yet either!! Totally normal.…

As for chocolate. i keep…
  • Yeah i did my research before using the machine. Found great pros and cons from real ppl all over the web. The most useful info stated that because of the massive demand of these "fad" machines causes mass production so that more flawed machines come out than usual. I am being careful and taking all the procautions…

  • i went to some classes at my local gym and decided buying the home system was cheaper than always paying to go to the gym. I ordered it last saturday and am waiting on it's arrival. You get 6 dvd's and the fun shaker weights. if you get it we can compare our results!! I like it because i love to dance and it gets me…

  • Sounds like you are already off to a great start!! Mind over matter. If you mind the weight it should matter enough to keep you goin. lol. at least it sounds good right? you can add me if you want. i also use an app on my phone but it only lets me imput my food, not get support. so i go online for that :)
  • I also suffer from bad knee issues. i have been instructed not to do any impact type workouts (running, jogging, jumping ect). I went and bought myself a mini trampoline and i can do jumping jacks and i run in place on it and it doesn't hurt at all. it is more like resistance training. I also love aerobic work out videos…
  • You could be gaining muscle. The old saying goes "it gets worse before it gets better". i am starting to hit a stall in my weight loss but i measure myself as well and i am losing inches not weight. it is slightly disappointing, but my clothes are starting to get lose now after a month and a half so it is encouraging me to…
