WOW! That's so great! Thanks for sharing!!!!

I agree so much with this post.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Way to go!!!!! I love having you as a friend, you are consistently keeping me going!

hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing. Awesome job!

Bring some food to your parents house. If you do drink alcohol, then make sure you drink tons of water too. I recommend NOT weighing in for at least a couple days after. I don't really think it's a true gain, it is more fluids. I think anyways. I usually weigh a couple pounds less the day after and then I'll be up two lbs,…

Awesome job! Congratulations on your new lifestyle! :D Go you!

I have completed it. I honestly love this dvd. It is challenging and but I don't have to spend an hour doing it. 20 minutes + warm up and stretching. It will kick your butt! I think the actual results depend on your weight, food plan, and commitment to change. I lost something like ten inches of my stomach area. (it was a…

Those commercials are silly. OF COURSE if I replaced two meals for a bowl of cereal... and I mean almost ANY bowl of cereal I would continue to lose weight. I hate those commercials.

I agree. Keep your portions decent. Maybe even fill up on some veggies or something.

Happy to meet you! I'm sending you positive vibes for your journey!

Welcome!!!!

That's so awesome! You deserve it! woot!

I agree with this post. When you're pregnant your body releases a hormone called Relaxin. It loosens your ligaments so that your bones can move freely when you give birth. You should be really careful not injure yourself with a strenuous workout. Take it easy, eat well, and enjoy being pregnant. Worry about losing and…

Well I'm impressed with anyone who can hold out on the yummy side dishes. Myself.. well. Even if I semi behave at a bbq, I'm looking at 1,000 cals. I keep track of EVERYTHING that I put in my mouth, whether I use a text message, or just write it down on some paper. I go for the veggies and fruit, but I still eat my…

Thanks for sharing! Good luck on this journey!!! :smile:

oh! no! Don't do that! We all binge occasionally. I am definitely a binge eater, but the next day I leave the binge in the past. I still lose my weight and it makes me realize that yesterday doesn't make a difference. If I pick myself up and get back on track I will continue to lose. Don't punish yourself for being human.

Okay here goes. An almost constant that I see is Mcdonald's. I too have often had to eat out. (I'm not much of a cook) four kids, and a third shift worker for a hubby. Life is crazy busy, but Mcdonald's is the devil! I'm going to try and go a whole week without eating out anywhere and see what kind of results I get. Should…

Welcome! My advice is to set small attainable goals. When you reach them it's awesome. I learned even if I messed up it didn't mean that I had to give up. Sometimes I struggle and sometimes it's amazing how easy it is. I wish you much success! :happy:

I'm so jealous of anyone that can were knee high boots! Lucky ladies. My calves hardly have any fat on them at all, completely muscular, and I can't wear them. I think they're so sexy!

I totally agree!

I think you should get a new doctor's opinion. Yours sounds like a jerk. I had a doctor too that didn't listen to what I was feeling and I gave him the boot.(I know you said they're in short supply, keep looking though.) You're doing well, especially with the pain that you are facing every day. You're a logging machine,…

I have friend who had the mirena. She ended up with an ectopic pregnancy. It blew her tube so she had to have surgery. She has a hip to hip scar. Plus she was told to NOT have anymore kids. Another friend of mine has had ZERO issues and says it's a must have. I don't use any BC, (I have four kids, haha)

WOOOOOOOHOOOOO! You're amazing! You inspire me! That's so awesome!!!

Hey, hey! Wait a minute! You look fabulous! Enjoy that and stop trying to conform your body to some chart! It's not like you came this far to quit, so just keep the weight off. Keep toning and your body will adjust naturally. Way to go! You're amazing!

my husband ate half a bag of chips with cheese dip and some swiss cake rolls, oh and did I mention it was midnight?! gah! do you have any raw veggies? Carrots are sweet and crunchy and low in cals.

AWESOME! Way to go on your change and losses! You're amazing!

oh! I want some!!! thanks :)

woo! I ended up doubling my workout anyways even though I'm sick. I drink a ton of water anyways. I think this is an awesome idea, I'm going to do it again!!! and holy! 1450 calories burned!!! WOW! That's crazy! wtg everyone!

I'm sick with strep throat so I won't be doubling my exercise, but I'm in :)

are you eating your exercise calories? Cos let me tell u, eat to lose!! I also agree that a heart rate monitor is a great investment, it will give you an idea of the calories you are burning. A lot of the information in the exercise log is a bit off. I always have to tweak it. Don't give up, just adjust your calories and…
