First, think a "cheat day" is way too much. A lot of people go overboard. Also, I don't like the term "cheat", as I believe all food can have a place in one's diet (when trying to maintain, obviously not when losing)... What I do, is I have one meal a week in which I eat something I enjoy... a BK menu, pizza, a lavish…

I recommend investing in a digital food scale, measuring cups and liquid measuring cup and be careful when registering foods. Also make sure to drink enough water.

Good for you!!!!!!!!!

Woman!

If you have chest pain when you excersize, please see a doctor and get it checked out.

(Whey) Protein is GOOD for women, especially when losing weight, working out and for people with hypothyroidism.... Since I upped my protein intake significantly (and consuming it throughout the day), I do so much better than before.... A lot of GNC people really don't know what they are talking about. Do not take their…

Before, I would do 30 min of fitness cardio (high heart rate) and then strength. Now, I do anywhere between 30-60 min of fat burn cardio every day (heart rate between 120-130). I have a polar heart rate monitor and the machines pick it up automatically which makes it all much easier because I don't have to "fight" the…

Actually I eat a lot of healthy fat, such as avocado, raw nuts, almond butter, olive oil and I take fish oil&cla.

I once craved french fries, and had them, and it felt like I dropped a brick in my stomach (after weeks of eating healthily)... I felt sick the whole afternoon!!! So not again any time soon.... Go figure I used to eat that stuff almost every day in the past!

In the last episode, while on the ranch, her fat percentage was 19%, not on the finale!

Greek yoghurt Oatmeal Protein powder shake A cup of wholegrain cheerios (100 calories) Cottage cheese Raw nuts (1/4 cup from trader joe's) Fruit

Not when people are extremely obese, they can use large amounts easily and healthily.. but regular weight people shouldn't lose more than that

Terrific job!!! You look great!!! Keep it up, you're worth it!!!

That's the same person? Wowza!! Congrats! I'm so proud!!! Keep it up!!!!

Before she left, she was gorgeous, she had a lot of muscle and looked healthy. She only needed to lose only a few more pounds to be on perfect weight. Now she lost all of her muscle and strength and is so unhealthy.

If they were happy with her winning, it would have been on their (Jillian's, Bob's and Dolvett's) Facebook pages. They are probably not allowed to talk about it and since they are unhappy, they won't mention it.... Unless NBC is coming out with a statement later on....

Anorexia isa mental disorder.... but it is ALSO a physical state, being underweight and malnourished is also called anorexia... For exemple dengue disease could make you anorexic (even though you do not have an eating disorder).... Just an FYI

I think it's kinda gross, I got my two former faves, Mountain Zevia and Dr. Zevia and it's yucky!!! a whole can lasts me a whole afternoon lol!!! I drink one about 2 times a week, and won't bother to buy new ones once I'm done with these.

Ok, something similar happened to me, though over a larger period of time. Was a diet soda addict (coke zero, sprite zero, diet mountain dew) and figured out about aspartame... Quit cold turkey successfully... three months later, started drinking regular soda... and more.. and more.... and GAINED 20 pounds (of which I now…

Hi! Started at 261.5 and now down to 250! About 90 more to go

Don't worry, you WON'T be bulking up. Women just don't naturally bulk, even if they take in a LOT of protein and do a lot of weights. It's just not our nature. To the contrary, protein is really good. It helps repair muscles, it helps us lose fat and not muscles, it helps in creating lean muscle mass (that's what tones…

I have a health o meter scale which is very reliable and consistent. I like to weigh myself several time just to make sure, and it is always the same, all 5,6,7,8 times! However, it needs a very solid floor. I had it downstairs (town home without basement) and it was always accurate. Then I took it upstairs and it started…

I use the weight diary app on my phone. I insert my weight (and fat %) every day and beyond fluctuations it will actually show a trend line, which is very important.

Don't just rely on a scale! Scales can be deceiving!!! - Take tape measurements weekly. And keep track of those. - Take bikini pictures weekly (front and both sides). This will show you your progress! Download a free collage app on your phone and put the pictures in a row, you'll be surprised! - invest in a scale that…

Consuming enough protein during weight loss is extremely important. It helps create lean muscle mass and helps us loose fat and not muscle. It is also a great snack (between meals - a low cal low car low sugar protein powder), because it keeps us full and energized (It is also harder for your body to digest than simple…

Fat gain Adding extra protein to the diet in the form of protein powder adds extra calories. As excess protein cannot be stored in its original form in the body, if you are not burning these calories by doing a sufficient amount of physical activity, or doing enough weight bearing activities to build more muscle, these…

Since I started losing weight (and working out), the upper right part of my belly is "rounder" or larger than the left upper part and the left lower part is larger/rounder than the right lower part.... it looks odd but I trust that it too shall pass:flowerforyou:

Congratulations!!!! Wow, you look amazing!! Not only did you lose a lot of pounds, you also toned up tremendously!!! Kudos!!! Your first picture could be me, when I saw it I just giggled because I look exactly like that, lol. I am working on looking more like the picture on the right though :) So proud of you!!!!

Glad you like it! So far I am very happ with PF - plenty of machines, all modern, all working, very clean, very friendly staff. No luxuries like a pool, zumba, or babysitting but you get a LOT of value for your buck!!! There is a 24hr close here and the mahines are old, half of them don't work, it's dirty, staff is not…

I love the ab room, though I wish they'd make the machine available outside of the ab room as well, because my favorite ab machines are precisely the ones in the ab room (and that's why I like that room). Having said that, I do not use the ab coaster (for now), because it is very hard not to "swing" in it (I see people…
