I thought MFP was supposed to be a forum where people SUPPORTED each other, not broke each other down. The OP stated that she was merely doing a fast for 10-days. She knows that it's not realistic to live off of only juice on a daily basis. Also, she never stated that the family of 4 included children, so I don't get why…

Yeah, this definitely is NOT timed. I was planning on running the entire thing, but I invited someone who is not a runner, so we'll be walking most of it. Also, I've never heard of a run where you get kicked off the course for being too slow! That sounds awful! LOL

I love it! I so get this, but at a much shorter distance lol. Kudos to you for running 9.5 miles!!!

Yay! I'll be doing this solo, which hopefully won't be too weird, since I feel like it's not a 5K that people really do by themselves. :ohwell:

Thank you! I'm just at the end of week 7 now. How about you? Hope Day 3 goes smoothly for you :-)

Yeah, the nurse explained to me that the pill doesn't cause you to gain weight; rather it causes your appetite to increase. So it's all dependent on what you snack on/eat whenever you get hungry. Of course you're going to gain weight if you go for a burger every time you're hungry. But if you drink lots of water and eat…

I know this EXACT feeling! The feeling of accomplishment after the workout is the best though; knowing that you convinced yourself to get through it!

Awesome, thanks!

THANK YOU!!! This is the answer I was looking for! So a few moves are similar, but for the majority of the DVDs, they are completely different than TF. I don't know what HTH is, I'm sorry lol. Thank you again! Also, I discovered that she had Burn Circuit 1 on one of her TF DVD's. I browsed through it and definitely see how…

I love this! :drinker:

I just started the program, but jumped forward to week 3. I'm currently on week 6 meow. :drinker:

Thank you for this, it was a great review! I do see your point about using bands vs. weights, and it is definitely something to consider. I have actually used all of my programs listed; and I have completed the course of each of the programs. The only that I have not done to completion is Brazil Butt Lift lol. I currently…

I'm happy to report that I FREAKING DID IT!!! It wasn't bad at all! I only felt my legs starting to give out at the last minute...that's when my mind was wondering when the bell was going to ding to indicate that I was done lol. Thank you everybody for your positive words of encouragement!!! Breaking the run down into…

I agree with this. I haven't been working out as much now that I'm working more, but my calorie burn (via my FitBit) has gone way up from being so active at work. I think resistance training, with a focus on the upper body, is a great idea. I will also say though that I'm currently doing the c25k program, and I made myself…

I knew I wasn't alone in this! :blushing:

omg this made me cry with laughter! :laugh: :sad:

I'm in agreement here. When you reach your goal weight, you won't care about those stretch marks (hopefully). Instead, you'll be proud of showing off your hard work! I used to wear the hiphugger cut for bathing suit bottoms. I finally changed to a brazilian cut to show off more of my butt (and to get better tan lines),…

Thank you for this!!! :-) :happy:

I just moved back to Elsinore and was wondering where you hiked at? Have you ever been on the McVicker Trail/Path?

It's too bad I hate the gym (and that I'm not in the same city...I'm in Lake Elsinore) b/c I'd love to start lifting. For now, I just use resistance bands at home. My brother also has weights, but I haven't started using them yet.

this post seemed almost identical to my recent LDR. we started off really strong, but then he backed off completely. once he said the initial "i love you" and got past the "honeymoon stage," i only received an "i love you" when it was convenient (i.e. like after i said it, or to prevent me from getting mad lol). the…

I do like this idea. In addition to labeling my items, I will also try putting them in like a brown lunch bag and labeling the bag. Hopefully I can report back with good news. Thanks! :-) Exactly!!!! I'm going to use this idea and see how it goes. Even if it's family, it's definitely difficult living with roommates again…

Totally on the same page!!!

HOLY COW people! I did not expect to start such a heated discussion. Let me clarify some things: - I would LOVE to live on my own, but I want to be able to go back to school w/o taking out any more student loans. The most plausible way of doing that is by living with my parents. - Just b/c I am living with my parents again…

This is a great idea! Thank you!!! :happy:

It's more of what mahanaibu said earlier - they eat it b/c it's convenient and just needs to be heated up. At least that's how it is with my brother, who will hopefully be leaving for the navy soon lol

This is exactly what got me riled up to begin with. It already sucks living at home with family again after living on my own for 10+ years. But I made this decision to live with them in order to save money to go back to school (amongst other factors that swayed my decision). As angry as I am, no good will come from me…

I really like the saying that willpower is like a muscle - it gets stronger the more you use it. Living with family is definitely a test of my willpower on a daily basis. I'd have such a hard time saying no to cookies and brownies...unless they were protein cookies or brownies :laugh:

It's parents and siblings. My father suggested that I keep whatever I want to hide in the BUTTER COMPARTMENT of the fridge. I laughed when he said that. I don't know what I can realistically keep on that tiny shelf. Getting my own mini fridge is a great idea, but I'm not sure they will respect it. I'm gone a lot of the day…
