Fat Head (which you can watch free on Hulu right now) has a lot of good info in it. Imperfect but it makes a point. http://www.hulu.com/watch/196879

bump- will be adding more squats to my routine!

Hello! I'm Rusti. I'm married, 30 years old with 2 kids. I was diagnosed with PPD after my daughter was born in 2003. I medicated for a year and weaned off and did well. When into PPD again after my son was born in 2005 and I am still on medication. In hindsight I think I've struggled a bit with depression and anxiety all…

When I'm offered a drink I'll often just say "Actually a water (or coke or whatever) sounds great!". I avoid announcing that I'm not a drinker. Not that I'm ashamed at all but it seems to make people uncomfortable. I'm really just trying to get what I want without making it awkward. Most people think nothing of it because…

Love this! I'm hearing it in my head...but for some reason, with a Brittish accent.

How long has it been going on? And is this the first time you've had a period of exhaustion?

bumping for later. thank you!

Love!

Wow! You totally look younger! Nice work!

Yep, Skinny Cow. Love the vanilla with caramel cone! Just tried the white mint bar and it was awesome! I've been to a couple frozen yogurt places that were really good too. I love to load on the berries and mangos. I'm a big ice cream fan myself. Hardest thing to stay away from for sure!

*bump* Anyone?......

Those steam fresh bags of veggies. Pretty cheap and I'm always seeing coupons for them.

I haven't but my mom just did it and loved it. She said it was harder than Shred. She's looking forward to results.

If you're slimming in inches that's awesome! That means you're losing fat. If you're over 130 lbs but have a lower percentage of body fat then you're much better off than someone under 130 with a highter percentage of body fat. Know what I mean? I'd consider then number on your pants dropping to be a much bigger success…

I've been doing the same thing and the thing that has been helping me is basically yelling at myself. lol Whenever I'm frustrated or sad, I've gone from "I can do it!" to "Screw it!". So, when I want to give into food I tell myself that the 'Screw it!' attitude is for the weak and I am NOT weak. (I've actually yelled this…

It'll only suck until it's done. Then, it feels so dang good! Get to the good part! :) You can do it!

My 24 hour fasts mean I skip two meals (i.e. after dinner on Saturday I don't eat until dinner Sunday). It's not always EXACTLY 24 hours. I'm not watching a clock. But I'm also not eating an early dinner.

You're going to lose weight if your NET calories are 1200 a day. Seriously, you're going to lose weight. No worries!

Where you're at right now, I would think shooting for 1 lbs a week would be the best way to go. But I don't know. Experts? Where are you? :) I would at least be sure to eat your 1200 plus any excersize calories. Does that make sense?

Has anyone tried it with steel cut oats? Was it good?

Most people are adding it under Circuit Training in the Cardio section. Have you tried a knee strap? I just started using one and I can get to the end with zero pain! So happy! :)

I hear ya! Here's my attempt at dealing with my 'binge issue'- Lately it seems like I can have self-control or I can be sad. Or I can be in control or I can be angry. But I can't be both. If I'm upset, my self-control (over what I eat) is lost. I've chosen to focus only on only that emotion. Well, it hardly seems like a…

Crackers and flat Sprite. I know it's not ideal food but it sounds, at least, like you may have some calories to spare. Sorry your sick!

I say for Day 1- the fact that you didn't give up and turn it off would be a success! :)

I have a reverse osmosis filter in my home and I LOVE it! It was costly to install but well worth the many years of enjoyable tap water. It really does taste so much better than regular tap water, which nearly makes me gag. And the greeny in me is satisfied. :)

How many calories are eating per day (approx.)?

I second those. Both fabulous books!
