  • I was at a family wedding and my Aunt told me I looked "absolutely glowing".:blushing:
  • Whenever you can fit it in! I do in the morning because it's the most quiet time I have. One of my friends runs at night. Just do what works best for you!
  • Long random post so I apologize in advance. I tried the vegan route for a year and felt like crap. I was so so tired all the time. I was so worn down and crabby. I couldn't think straight and I had a lot of digestive issues. I did NOT eat the frankensoy stuff either. Whole foods. After about a year I got my vitamin levels…
  • I used Leslie walking DVDs to help me lose 64 lbs. That and calorie counting. I like her newer stuff because I think she ups the challenge. I have the 30 Day but I haven't started it yet. I've been doing Burn Body Fat. I'd also be interested in seeing your results! All the best!
  • I have pretty bad anxiety and panic attacks and I have learned to get them under control but here is just an idea of what you could be going through. I don't know how you are but I feel like if things are PERFECT they aren't right. Is it possible you're so focused on perfection with counting numbers that it's getting your…
  • I actually changed mine. I upped my fats and carbs and lowered my protein. When I talk about fats I mean nuts/avocados/seeds. I notice with the extra fat my appetite doesn't rear it's head like it did before. I did try a higher protein route and I felt drained and crabby. I think there really is no one size fits all.…
  • I don't drink diet soda because every time I do it triggers headaches in me. (I'm waiting for the slew of "where's your evidence" responses.) The effects are debatable and there is evidence that certain people react to aspartame in a negative way. Such is life. What bothers some won't bother others. So if it doesn't bother…
  • Non-dairy milk. I've tried so many and just cannot find anything I like anywhere near as much. Most soy. I don't mean to over generalize and I know there is good soy and low quality soy but all around BLAH to me. Salmon. Just cannot. Vinegar. I know a lot of people use it for salads but the smell of it makes me want to…
  • I tried to go vegan about a year and a half ago. My reason was cruelty to animals but I had also read how beneficial it was. I followed the diet for a year and while I am not bashing anyone for being vegan I can tell you it was not for me. I tried to eat as clean as possible and that can be very difficult. I tried to…
  • I eat real food but I have had to get a handle on portion control myself. I got a low cost digital food scale and a few sets of measuring spoons and cups. I measure and count everything. Sometimes it's a pain in the butt BUT I've started to learn what a serving is. I will tell you this is hands down the hardest part of…
  • FANTASTIC!!!
  • I don't think it matters. I aim for the same calorie loss in a day but some days are a little higher and some lower. I think it would be reasonable to dock a few hundred calories (or workout extra) to enjoy a party. Loss is loss. :smile:
  • Fantastic!!! You've done a wonderful job!!!!
