You can change your ratios by going into the goals setting. Since I'm doing P90X, I'm in need of a lot more protein, so my ratios are at 40% protein, 40% carb, 20% fat. I usually get in around 120 grams of protein a day. Play around with your numbers and see what works for you :)

People are unnecessarily aggressive in this thread.... if what you're doing is working, keep it up and let others do what works for them. Who cares. To the OP, I would hesitate to go the route of taking pills. Millions have lost weight without them, and they very rarely work. You don't want to be on them long term, either…

Hi!!! I'm so excited you're here! I hope you will find great info and the awesome support system I've found in this site. We can definitely help each other stay on track - I know you can do this :)

Everyone has such beautiful dogs! I have been thinking of getting a dog who is more suited to exercise. Nano is a couch potato, though I take him out for short walks.

Here is my little guy. Completely detrimental to weight loss, because all he wants to do is sit on your lap. His name is Nano, but he's an enormous Pomeranian... 16 pounds. He's not fat, he's just BIG, haha.

Ooooh, we are sharing dresses! I just got one in the mail that I am in love with. I never could have fit something like this in the beginning of the year.... wiggle dresses here I come, haha. I have definitely held onto my curves though - a bit too much maybe. My hips just don't want to shrink, they sort of limit the sort…

Congrats! That's so awesome!

It's frustrating to not see a change on the scale, especially when you are working so hard! I completely identify with the person earlier who was doing P90X - I gained around 2.5 lbs as well when I first started doing it, and I only started P90X to get off the stinkin' plateau I was ON! Well, I kept it going with the…

163.6.... Today was finally a good loss after fluctuating for a few weeks and even gaining a bit when I started P90X a few weeks ago. My measurements seem to be down though. I really look forward to getting into the 150s maybe in the next two weeks! Everyone looks like they are off to a real strong start! Hope you all have…

They sound delicious!

You look awesome!!!

Bump!

You are just awesome an I'm so glad that you shared your personal achievements here. You have done so much for this community and its about time you got to enjoy some of your successes. Keep up the fantastic work!
-
165.4 ... can't wait to get off this blasted plateau. Maybe I should actually follow the P90X nutrition plan as I'm doing the program. Guess I should try eating more maybe?
-
I just started P90X last week, I'm doing the lean program but I was thinking about switching to classic. I'll add you so we can keep up with progress :) I need more friends who are doing the program.

Haha, yeah the Dreya roll is pretty challenging. I have a closet right by where I work out, and I use the clothes bar in there while on my knees. An adaptation with bands instead of the bar is shown, so you will get an idea of how to do the exercise. I actually don't have a place in my house to put the pull up bar, but I…

1. I live a plane ride away from my parents, so I only see them maybe once or twice a year. They never knew what size I'd be when they picked me up at the airport, since I tended to fluctuate so much. If I was on the heavier side, I could feel my mother's judgmental stare on my body the entire trip. The same went for my…

Wow, that's a total transformation! Awesome job!!

French fries are like the perfect storm for my diet.... I love them so much, but I know they are so bad... ooh. My honey came into the bedroom at like 11 pm while I was in bed and asked if I wanted french fries since he was doing a late night fast food run (he works really late). I kind of got mad at him! I never eat more…

Loving yourself is the ultimate success. That's what we all need to learn along the way, and I struggle with this daily. It's a steep accomplishment to get to that place, so feel proud, feel beautiful, feel strong. Thanks for the thoughts.
-
Aaaack one more week... er, even less! Well, I'm continuing on with P90x (Lean version, but still kickin' my *kitten*) My focus for this week is to not live and die by the scale, because I'm trying to change my body in more significant ways. I'm having a really hard time with protein - I always have found it difficult to…

Just wanted to say hello to someone close (I'm in Beaverton) ... I would love to do that but because of my job I can't make the time commitment. I work at a local hospital and I'm on call a lot so I need to stay close. Home workouts have been working, and I just started P90x. Good luck though, I hope its fun!
-
165.2 this morning... only -0.2 lbs. It's frustrating how much my loss has slowed. I think I might be entering a plateau ugh! Starting P90x today so hopefully that will kick me out of it!
-
165.4 today, can't wait to hit the 150's!
-
Looking good sweetheart! You've already accomplished so much, and with your determination, I'm sure your success will continue!
-
Thanks for posting the number, Rach! My goals this week are to really step up my water intake - the thing I struggle the most with! Also would like to get in at least 4 workouts. I'd really like to step back up with a 2 lb loss! The warm weather is almost here, so I want to be ready for those halter tops and sleeveless…
-
Morning ladies, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today I am 167.2, down 1.4 this week. I think I could have done better, but I did take some time off my workout routine. Hopefully will get more on track this week. Hope you all have a great week!
-
Rach, from where I'm standing you are looking friggin fabulous. You have made such a difference, you should be really proud!! Treat yourself with something extra cute soon and don't forget to show us!

I have heard that eating late can affect weight loss too, but I think it's pretty much a fallacy. I workout late, so I dinner after. Hasn't really hindered me at all. I just try to eat when I'm hungry in general.
