I was stuck at 7 for a while and then when I gave it up, I noticed that my weight loss picked back up. I'm a Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi girl myself, but it's been rather easy for me.

I'm at about a month. I will have one now and then (I've literally had 2 in the last month) but for the most part, when I want something with flavor, I add a couple squirts of Mio to my water and I'm good to go. So happy I hopped on the Mio Train!

Well, if you're 5'2" then the ideal weight range for you is between 110 and 120 lbs. I'm 5'2" and that's what I'm shooting for. If you want to see more results, I would probably recommend toning instead of losing weight.

You weigh 109.8 lbs and you're telling me that you don't feel pretty? Correct me if I read the information in your signature wrong. I would kill to weigh 110 lbs again. If that is what you do in fact weigh, you should be thankful, and I mean this in the nicest way possible. I'm not coming down on you at all. I remember…

I agree!

I was at an amusement park with my family. My husband and I were walking up to get in line for a coaster and they made me sit in the "example seats" before getting in line. As they were strapping me in, I noticed a couple of skinny girls and a girl about my size walking up. They asked the girl who was my size to step over…

I tried it and completely didn't like it. I've never taken a class before either though. Whereas, a friend of mine doesn't like the Zumba for the Wii or Xbox but loves the class that she goes to weekly. I would rent it before purchasing.

I haven't tried the P90X yet but want to. As far as your "diet", I will say, I hate the word. It has a negative connotation. So are you dieting or changing the way you eat in general? I think if you tell yourself that it's a diet rather than steps to changing the way you eat, it is harder. I can't diet. I had to completely…

I think the only thing you really can do is rest, and just be extra careful about what you eat. You might just have to do slight damage control when you're all better. Get well soon!

My friend tried the Zumba for the Xbox and didn't like it but started attending an actual Zumba class and she likes it so much better. Said the real thing is so much more of a workout!

I have Wii Just Dance 2 and I've tried Zumba for Xbox and I would hands down go for Just Dance 2. My sister purchased Zumba for Wii and hates it.

When someone asks me how I'm doing it and I respond "watching my calories and working out" and they then respond with "I don't like counting calories or working out". Well, don't complain to me when simply walking doesn't get you anywhere.

I think it's healthy, and so will any fitness expert that you ask, to take a day off now and then otherwise you will get burnt out, and a lot of times, revert back to the old ways. I say go for it! Enjoy yourself! When I take a day off as far as eating, I allow myself to have a few of the things I have cut out, such as a…

Hanes and Fruit of the Loom have a line of "No Ride Up" underwear. I usually wear the hipster or the boy shorts. Mizuno (or any other brand) have compression shorts that are meant for just the reason you've explained.

It's 2.5 lbs a week which isn't bad. Good for her!

Although I agree that weighing yourself everyday isn't usually the best idea, I have recently started weighing myself every other day. The reason being is that when I first started, I weighed myself after a week and found that I had lost 2 lbs. Super! Then I weighed myself two days later and I had lost 1 more lbs. I was…

I hear ya sista! lol. It's lights out in my house as well.

That's awesome! I really hope you achieve those goals because there's nothing better than being a mommy. I think you've got the best goals here, by far!

!Yay you! I'm just praying that I don't lose mine in the process, although, I'm sure that they're going to need some attention.

If I lose 20 lbs, I will put the tanning back on my gym membership, because fat girls who tan (or at least this one) end up looking like zebras. It ain't pretty! If I lose 30 lbs, I will get a mani/pedi and go shoe shopping. If I lose 40 lbs, I will need to go shopping because.... If I lose 50 lbs, I'm booking a nice long…

Have you made their Blueberry Muffins? So yummy! So are the Apple and Banana Nut.

Cocoa almonds, sugar free jello or pudding, sugar free or fat free fudge pop, any type of fruit, etc. I always keep a rather wide variety on hand so as not to get bored and want to go for something bad.

I'm interested in an answer as well. In the past I've talked to a friend of mine whom I trust greatly when it comes to working out because he's a body builder, and he's told me that it's a great way to jump start my metabolism in the morning.

I like the Fiber One Blueberry Muffins, Special K crackers, pretty much any type of fruit, celery and peanut butter (reduced fat of course), almonds (raw or cocoa if I've got a sweet tooth), carrots, roasted soy beans, sugar free pudding or jello, organic fruit strips, quaker mini delights, 100 calorie bag of smart pop…

Dieting doesn't work. At least not for me. I can diet and be uber successful and once the diet's over, the weight eventually comes back. I'm tired of the yo-yo effect. I'm ready to change my relationship with food. Introducing myself to some new things, and saying goodbye to a few that have never done any good for me. I'm…

Wow! I totally commend you! I'm inspired, I must say.

It's probably because you're calling it "pop" when it should be "soda". lol. jk. My husband calls it pop as well and I razz him. To answer your question, I'm not really sure. Sodium content? I just know that since I've stopped drinking it (and it kills me at times), I've lost 3 lbs. Yes, I could definitely go for a nice…

Welcome! Where in OH are you from? I'm in Stark Co.

It's my fave as well! It's actually only 850 calories and if you cut the meal in half and have them go light on the cheese and sauce, that will also save some calories. It being my fave, I found a few tricks that have allowed me to enjoy it without feeling guilty.

The only problem with their salad is that just one bowl is 350 calories.
