Each person is different. The first time around I've never tried this out before so I lost weight a bit quicker. People started noticing results after the first month and a half. I'm doing this a second time as I've gained back a bit and it's taking me A LOT longer. I'm anticipating that I won't see results for a few…

I personally wouldn't stop eating them all together. Everything in moderation. Here are options that you could possibly try you: - Don't buy them all together (if they aren't in the house you can't eat them) - Only make a small portion so that once it's done it's done - Use a smaller plate scoop out a bit of potatoes but…

I know this is a year old but this thread is still active so I will bring it up for those just starting. There is no way you burn that many calories in insanity let alone any other work out unless you are doing it for 5 hours. Don't let the heavy sweating fool you either. This misconception is why many people waste years…

I started this program at the beginning of August. I followed it for two weeks straight but then had to stop for a few days because I went away. I started it up again a few days ago. This time I am doing the work outs every other day since it's getting hard on my joints with the constant bouncing around. I am also finding…

I have been on the pill for a few months now and I noticed that I am hungrier than normal. I went on it to regulate my periods but I think once I get back from my vacation in a month I am going to stop taking it. I feel as if I have gained some weight but then again I have been lazy lately so it could be a combination of…

I'd say yes and I do believe parents are to blame for childhood obesity. My mom is naturally skinny but my dad not so much and I ended up taking after him unfortunately. A lot of the foods they cooked were deep fried or high in fat content.I don't remember seeing any fresh vegetables or fruit at the table, everything was…

Sure why not!

Thanks a lot for the responses. I've always felt that sometimes the numbers on MFP are too good to be true so in the past I would always subtract 10 mins from my actual workout time in order to balance it out seeing as if I were to long in step aerobics for 60 mins it would say that I burned 700 cals but that's not…

I was told to eat a banana at least a half hour before a workout. When I wake up in the morning to go to the gym I like to get up and go so I usually just have half a banana or an apple beforehand but if it's later in the day I don't eat anything an hour before.

No but it would be great to find an awesome one. I am still struggling to find a good bra for working out. I am a 36E/F depending on the bra. I tried the lululemon ta ta tamer in a 36DD and no dice i'm about a second away from having a nipple slide out of that one unless I am wearing a workout tank over top. I have tried…

In my opinion binge eating is a series of episodes when you keep eating but you just can't control yourself. You consume massive amounts of food sometimes food that is consumed over a day period can be consumed in just one episode. I used to binge eat and while going through that state of mind you really can't stop and it…

Count me in. I wanted to try this for a while. My weight has not moved in months that or i've gained and the scale is driving me nuts. I need to try eating healthy and exercising consistently.

I know it stinks but you have to face the reality sooner or later and hopefully it's sooner. I do know how you feel as for the past 2 months it seemed that no matter what I did my scale never moved or if it moved it moved in the direction I did not want for it to. I think our bodies are just so used to this that we really…

Count me in! I've slacked off the last few months and I really need a good kick in the butt so this would be perfect!

I am going through the same thing right now. I am so frustrated and angry at myself. I had finally lost 30 pounds and was only 15 pounds away from my goal to have gained almost 10 of it back. In the past 2 months i've become lazy and unmotivated. I'd eat healthy throughout the day but come after dinner all i'd ever do is…

Whenever i'd go out for dinner i'd assume that I burnt enough calories to go all out. Turns out i'd only burn 500-600 but the meal I thought I could go all out came in at 1300 calories or more on top of everything else I ate that day. Then I was wondering why I kept gaining weight despite working out. SMH

It's too hot I don't want to wash my hair I'll go tomorrow and do the intense class (ahahaha never happens) I'm too tired I already ate healthy today No one else is going to be there (when a sub is teaching) I remember when I was a gym rat I would never miss a day and I got scared of people thinking I have no life so I…

You've taken a few years off your face and body. Love that outfit you look wonderful.

I've been stuck at the same weight since April which is a plateau. Your weight will fluctuate on a daily basis due to water, high sodium, TOM etc. I can easily gain 3-5 pounds during my TOM or after a bad night of eating sodium packed meals which can take me about 2-3 days before the scale goes back to normal. If I were…

You look great and have some nice curves! I started at 220 as well and would love to get down to 175 but unfortunately i've been stuck at 185 for 4 months now! Plateaus absolutely suck! Anyways try increasing your intake and doing a different activity.

That was beautiful

I fit the exact definition of an apple :( it seems like the stomach and back will be the very last thing to go because even after a 30 pound loss I still have a tummy and a little back roll meanwhile everything else has evened itself out. I do however now have a defined waistline. I'm hoping after knocking back 15-20 that…

Hey sorry i'm a little late I didn't get a chance to get to a computer till now. I went to the gym this morning and took longer than expected, than I had to run errands anyways i'm checking in at 187 (7 pounds away from goal) oh well hopefully another time. I ate a little too much the last 2 days and i'm sure I went over…

Checking in before I forget. 186 and it's TOM
