Sounds good! This weekend I will make a group. I will friend all of you so that you are able to join =)

I have this problem. Bad. Today I told myself I wouldn't way myself, but I still did. It's a great motivator when the number is going down every day, but lately it hasn't been moving. It stays within the same pound but fluctuates all week. Now that it hasn't moved I have become obsessed with weighing in. It's ridiculous…

When you don't drink enough water your body doesn't flush out food or other water as quickly. For each gram of carbs you eat, you ingest 3 grams of water. If you don't drink enough water your body holds on to those 3 grams of water. Also if you eat lots of sodium you will hold onto more water. This causes bloat. A minimum…

That has happened to me too!

Love this!!!

SO glad to know I am not the only one!

Very well said!

I LOVED every single second of your post! =)

My name is Tiffany and I would like to join the 9-12 pounds group PLEASE! =)

I agree. I like this quote. FOR ME it means that I can have a taste of things I love, but that I don't need to eat a whole piece of pie to enjoy it. I can balance my life out by having SMALL portions of things that I love, without giving up the hard work I have been doing. I love this quote!

I am in! My email is tstahler@live.com

Just did 10 minutes of D10 L2 and my back just couldn't take anymore. So I did some stretches instead. Did some research and apparently almost every exercise in L2 is bad for people with lower back problems (me).. which would explain why my back has been SO bad the last week. Ready to move onto L3 tmw!

My friend tried it and said it didn't work for her. She says it worked for her mom, but she thinks it is a mind thing, like her mom thinks it will make her eat less, so she eats less. I looked into it, and as I did I realized you don't lose weight any faster than with proper diet and exercise.

Today is L2 D8 for me! Excited to do pics and measurements on Sunday!! More excited to get out of level 2 though lol.

So glad I finally read this! I am currently in phase two. Haven't lost for about a month, losing inches, just not pounds and it is discouraging me SO bad. Thanks for posting!!!

bump... wanna get inside the male mind.

I went to GNC to buy that, and they sold me the Methyl Drive instead. Said they are similar products.

Do you feel like the carb blocker is working? I read somewhere a few months ago that they don't work. So I wasn't sure if I should spend the money on it. I take CLA... which is what GNC recommended to me, it helps tone, somehow turning fat into muscle, and I can really see a difference. I am becoming quite toned without…

I take Methyl Drive... it's what GNC recommended to me. I only take it every other to keep feeling the effects. On the days I take it I do a double workout, on days that I don't take it I do a single workout. I know people say to stay away from pills, but I take it because I need the energy. I do not have enough energy on…

I am interesting in hearing what others have to say. Once I lost 15 pounds it slowed alot, I lost inches, but no pounds for 4 weeks. Then I lost 7 pounds really fast, and now I am not losing again. When I lose alot, I am still just doing the same about of calories and same amount of workouts. Not sure what causes the…

Yeah, I have attempted the Shred 3 other times and never complete it due to knee and back pain. I am on day 14 now of my 4th attempt and am just finding this out lol. Atleast I know now.

I am in the process of doing 30 DS right now. I didn't realize that you weren't supposed to do it every day, but I was until this past weekend. Level 2 killed me on the first day, so I did a different workout the next day. I also add in some extra workouts for the muscle confusion.

I put up with YEARS of crap from a guy because he was REALLY REALLY hot and REALLY REALLY rich. I did love him, but had he not been those two things, oh and a REALLY REALLY REALLY great kisser, then I probably wouldn't have dealt with his crap long enough to fall in love with him and end up having to deal with even more of…

How long have you been feeling like this? I go through periods of time like this. Usually if I step on the scale it helps bring me back to reality that my eating has to stop now. If it doesn't, I would just drink 8oz of water everytime you feel hungry and before eating ANYTHING. That will help make you feel full. Often…

You are my hero! I was proud of myself for losing 25 pounds in 10 months lol. I definitely want to work harder and be more focused now.

For me... diet pills are cheating, they are a tool I use to assist me on my journey. My biggest struggle is fatigue. I have fibromyalgia, and all I ever want to do is sleep. Even after drinking 2 cups of coffee this morning I could easily use a nap. So I take D-Ribose in the mornings to assist with that, which is something…

Yesterday I had to do the elliptical and stationary bike instead of L2 of the Shred. I could barely move after D1L2. LOL Still sore, but back at the Shred today.

Are you saying that 1200 cal is too few of calories for someone not nursing and taller than 4'5"? Just curious. Because I am not nursing, not even a mom, and am taller than 4'5" but according to MFP, I should be eating no more than 1200 cal.

You need to figure out your bmr, I think that's what it is called. There is a tool for it in the "Tools" section. That will tell you how many calories your body needs just to be you, if you did nothing all day. For the sake of this example we will say mine is 1600 calories, if I eat 1200 and do no workout for the day, then…

I get asked daily how I am losing weight... like it's some kind of secret. People see me eat my apples on break, and always have my water bottle around. But the once a month that I have a diet soda, everyone freaks out about how I can't have that. Or the other day there were donuts, I grabbed a donut, took a bite, enjoyed…
