Try doing the 30 day shred, the DVD is under 10 bucks and is only 25 minutes. She does tons of leg and arm stuff. I usually skip the cool down portion and take the dog for a walk afterwards to finish off the work out.

I see your point, however I MUCH rather have an overweight person do my sandwich then a skinny person, because they don't put anything on it! I know this might seem like a gross over exaggeration, but, my boyfriend goes to subway about 5 times per week and has noticed if a thin girl makes his meal, he has to ask repeatedly…

30 day shred

My current weight, as of 7/8, is 243.4 ( no loss) I did not meet my goal. I believe I did not meet my goal because I overate at night, however I did work out every day. My goal for this week is to lose 2 lbs. This week I am going to focus on having a good weekend and stop night snacking.

I don't, I want to be fit and healthy for me, who cares what famous people look like! A lot of people say society pressures people to be thin, but we are society!

make sure salt is not to high and cut carbs?

When did this happen!? I love AE jeans, they are the only thing that will fit me as well. When they took away the Artist style I about died, then almost died with happiness when they brought it back!!! A lot of "skinny" people say their jeans run big, which is why I love them, in reality they might just be changing it to…

congrats on your loss! I would recommend the 30 day shred. it is great for toning and is only 30 minutes!

I love doing both. My membership is only $20 and is really nice in Alaska when it is -40!!!! i ride my bike, walk the dog, and do videos but sometimes i just like to go to the gym and use all the machines. It is different for everyone.

My current weight is as of 7/5 243.4. My goal for this week is a 2lb loss. This week I am focusing on not binge eating when I get home and do the 30DS each night. I am a 21 and 5'4".

it really comes down to the basics, eat your 5 fruits and veggies a day, drink water, excersise, and limit your carbs at dinner. I tried phentermine last summer, convinced it would change my whole life, lost ten pounds in a couple days and gained it all back plus some. it is all about changing your way of thinking and…

I would pay attention to what the machine says, I have a HRM and find I burn a bit less then what it says. I am assuming you are talking about the Arc Trainer, i made a new entry for it.

bump, I am looking for suggestions, my diary is open if you would like to look as well. I shoot for 150 grams of carbs and do okay, i am almost always under protein

Welcome! i started with the app as well, love the site!

I just started Monday on a 500 mg extended release, it is supposed to prevent any side effects like the vomiting and nausea. Over the next few weeks I will work up to as much as 4000 mg. It has only been a couple days but I have not had any problems. I am excited to see what it does! P.S. with insurance my 3 month…

I love it on the grill, spray a little oil and lemon pepper or salt and pepper and grill it up.

MPF has it super low, if you are not going over you should be worried. It also depends how you are going over, I read an article the other day about how the added fiber that is showing up in a alot of foods is not completely digestable so you may not be getting as much as you think.

I have noticed the exact opposite at my gym, as soon as it got nice out the population droped like a rock! I live in Alaska so the winters are super long and cold but the summers have almost 24 hours of daylight so there is a lot of time to do stuff.

if anything switching it up might be good, in this case it will give your body a longer rest. a lot of people say you want to keep your body guessing.

i bet onions would soak up dye well and are great on the grill, red onions are almost blueish?

I believe there is coke flavored stuff you can put in water, Mio might make some. Start by limiting yourself to maybe 2 a day and go from there. Imagaine all the money you will save, you could put it in a jar and save up for a shopping spree. I would also say try to get more sleep, it will be hard but caffine addiction…

1600 is a lot more then people on here eat. Most try to stick to 1200, then burn 500 which would drop your intake way to low!! For you it is not that big of deal, but for those on a more resticted diet it is unhealthy. It works for some and doesn't for others.

I eat baby carrots and half a bell pepper ( not sure how you feel about those) with a light dip. I use light sour cream mixed with powdered ranch. They have other flavors of powdered dressings as well. it is a little high in sodium but makes the veggies wonderful!

Why even bother with the DVD? It can be harder to push yourself but just do the ab exercises you like.

Some type of insulin resistance like PCOS or type 2 diabetes. People with PCOS are more sensitive to carbs, causing much greater spikes in blood sugar causing the body to store fat in the stomach area. Some of the symptoms are acne, darker hair on face and body, dark patches ( if you have these you will know what I am…

Skinny cow ice cream and sugar free chocolate pudding

Switching from reg to diet is a good place to start, but in the long run it is all chemicals and you would be better off without it. It is easy for me to say becasue I am not a huge soda fan. You have to walk before you can run.

I had the total gym supra a couple years ago and i liked it. I lved to lay down on the board with my legs at 90 degrees and pull myself up. It targets the under bra pouch!

I find this interesting becasue my HRM says i burn quite a bit less then the MFP or my machine. I guess it all comes down to how hard you push yourself and how you log.

I have found anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds is a size and the most you should lose is 2 pounds a week.
