Just finished Day 4! How are you all doing?

I have been eating Kosher for probably 18 years now. You can eat Turkey Bacon if you have a need for bacon. BBQ Beef ribs instead of pork. Other than that it is not too hard. I usually make my own food and try not to use too much packaged foods as they are also loaded with salt, preservatives, and lots of other bad stuff…

I'd love to join the challenge. I am using Rockin' Body, Day 3, but do have a DVD for Hip Hop Abs as well.

I am on Day 3 today. I love it. I am hoping to really start seeing some results soon. Counting calories and trying to drink more water as well. I also have a Body Media armband to help me see how many calories I burn with the workouts.

I am reading 2 books right now. These are both romance and about vampires. I have read both series and love to read them again and again. #1 Dark Prince by Christine Feehan #15 The Harlequin by Laurell K Hamilton. The 1st book is Guilty Pleasures but you have to read to the end of book 6 and then only the juicy parts…

I use Stevia to sweeten when needed in coffee, tea, oatmeal, etc. It is natural with no known side effects.

I have been reading the McDougall Plan books and he states that you don't need to eat so much protein. In fact you get all the protein you need from starches, vegetables, and fruits. No meats, dairy or fats. That is what I am doing now. Since I do a bit of weightlifting as well, I will drink a protein shake, Shakeology,…

I have The McDougall Plan and The McDougall Program Twelve Days to Dynamic Health. I am half way through reading the twelve day book and just started the diet today. I will let you know how it goes and which meals I like. PS I love oatmeal with mango and banana mixed in. Delicious!

I do like white better, but now I have to eat the brown rice. We'll see if I can get used to it. Also have to eat whole wheat pasta.

I also enjoy eating the healthier foods, especially fruits and veggies. I will have to make a homemade salad dressing. Does anyone know a good recipe. I will look at McDougall's books and see if I find one. I am not into junk food, so that is not too bad. I find that if you don't put any in your mouth, you are okay.…

I did this diet once before and also did the Ultimate Reset which is about the same just they let you use some oil. This one does not. If you have trouble losing weight, I suggest you keep an eye on your calories and of course try upping your exercises. This should help. I do feel better on these diets because I don't get…

I am just starting and am doing Start it up. I am also going to alternate the slim in 6 abs and limber up. I also walk 1-2 hrs a day with my dog. Friend me.

Are you still doing slim in 6? I am going to start it and wanted to see how you were doing on it?

I would love to join! If I lost 70 pounds, I would look terrific!! Ideally I would like to lose 10 pounds a month which seems doable if I eat clean, drink water, and exercise. Please add me as a friend.

Today has been a good day. Staying in the 1200 calorie limit. Did Turbo Jam 20 min., walked 60 min. Hoping to see some results soon. Much easier keeping a record of my food intake on the 10 day diet. Everything is plain and so extremely easy to add each item. No hunger pains and last night was my first night without…

I am going to keep my calories at 1200 but vary the amount of protein, carbs, and fat each day. My fat intake should be low no matter what but any fat I have will be purely the good kind.

Today is my 1st day back on eating healthy and exercising. I had my 2 college sons home for the holidays and while we did exercise, they tend to love my cooking. So my calories were higher than they should have been. I didn't have any coffee either today. Usually I only have 1 a day so not a big deal. I am going to the gym…

I would love to join your group! I am a 52 yo mother of 3 boys ages 24, 21, and 12. I will be doing cardio and weight lifting 3 times a week each, and Ab Jam 6 times a week. I am also doing a 10 day diet which I will share if anyone is interested in doing it with me. You really don't need to cook if you don't want to and…

I have started a new group and would love to have anyone interested join me there as well as this one. The more groups you join, the more people you meet and motivation you get! Mine is called Strong & Fit. Weigh in and measurements every Saturday and it starts in 2 Days! Come and join. Looking forward to seeing you there.

It should also be known that most of the fat cells made are during infancy and adolescence. After that, your fat cells shrink or expand. There is also fat that is just under the skin and then there is fat around your internal organs. The abdominal organ fat is probably worse as it puts pressure on your organs. It also…

I am really proud of you. I am starting the 10 day diet which is easy to follow and doesn't require cooking if you don't want to cook. I am also on Day 2 of Slim in 6. I have done 1 month of Rockin' Body and Turbo Jam as well. I have lost 18 lbs since I started working out but am still new to myfitnesspal so the results…

August 31st!! Calories? Yes Exercised? Yes Tracked? Yes Finally lost 2 pounds. Going sight-seeing in the Black Forest this month. There will be lots of hiking in the beautiful forests with my family and my dog. Can't wait. There is the biggest waterfall in Germany there. The last time I was there was winter and they had…

August 28th. So close, guys! Calories? Yes Exercised? Yes, 195 min. Tracked? Yes

Well I finished doing 8 weeks of Rockin' Body. The dances were fun and you really do sweat. He is quite fun to work to. I now am starting Slim in 6 and find that it really wipes you out as it is 1 hr and part of the time it is with weights or resistance bands. Now mind you, I did use the weights when I did Rockin' Body as…

I think I am eating enough. I always go over 1200 cal up to around 1800 depending on how hard I work out. I am now on day 2 of Slim in 6 and think it is harder than Rockin' Body even my son thinks so. We are both wiped out after the 1 hr workout. Hopefully, this means I will be seeing some positive results soon. Thanks you…

August 27th. Five more days! Calories? Yes Exercised? Yes Tracked? Yes On day 2 of Slim in 6 after doing 8 weeks of Rockin' Body! In my opinion, Slim in 6 is harder so hopefully it will work quicker! Even my son thinks it's harder. He was as wiped out as I was at the end of 60 min.

August 24th: Calories? Yes Exercise? Yes Tracked? Yes:drinker:
