you should try to focus less on the scale, and more on inches lost. muscle weighs more than fat, so it's possible that you're gaining muscle weight, which is a good thing, because muscle looks awesome and takes up less space than fat.

I have heard this, too, and for me, it's true. Before every meal, while it's cooking or after I finish making it, I will make sure to have at least one glass of water. This is good for two reasons: 1. if I'm actually more thirst than hungry, the water will help, and 2. even if I am hungry, the water will fill me up a…

Hey there! First off, I'd like to say that I love your positive attitude! I am pretty active on MFP and since I've joined I have found that I am on MFP more than Facebook! My weight loss goal is waaaaay higher than yours, but I think we would still make great friends :)

Hi :) I'm Carmen. I visited Belgium for a few days when I lived in Europe and I think it's one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. I sent you a friend request :)

I haven't had this yet, but I'm going to try it soon. Cauliflower rice, turkey meatballs, and beans. A friend of mine made a delicious (but unhealthy version today) and I'm dying to make it (healthier of course :) )

exercise is good for frustration and helps with sleeping. i have insomnia, so i understand not sleeping well. a few of my friends use z-quil for sleep, which is advertised as being non-habit forming, so you could try that.

your progress so far is great! stay determined :)

i've never had it explained like that before, but it's really interesting. thanks!

Chew a gum like Orbit, one that's backed by the ADA. It's sugar-free so it won't damage your teeth. Actually, the ADA supports certain gums because they stimulate saliva flow which is good for your mouth.

haha, feel no shame! i cannot tell you how many times i cursed jillian under my breath. but all things considered, it wasn't that bad. i know a lot of people don't like her, but you have to hand it to her, she's very motivational. and now we get to do it all again tomorrow :)

Hi! I'm also trying to lose over 100 pounds. Even though I have access to a gym, I'm going to start my weight loss with the 30 Day Shred. It's a 3 level program over a month and tonight will be my first workout using it. If you search the forum, you can find a lot more information and see results from people who have done…

I'm starting the shred today, so I don't have actual experience with it. However, I've read a lot of stuff that others have said about it. To answer your question, it depends. Some people stick to just the 30DS and get fantastic results. However, it is also important that you focus not just on doing the shred, but…

Hi, welcome back! I'm also looking for some friends to motivate me. I sent you a friend request :)

No way! I'm starting the 30DS today, too! I won't be able to start until later tonight, but I'm looking forward to it!

Hi! That IS a busy schedule, I'm not currently working, but I'm in grad school and that keeps me busy. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have a full time job in the mix. Anyway, I'm also looking for people to help motivate me and keep me accountable :)

I WILL OWN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS!! Haha! I look forward to owning the next two weeks!

I think this sounds awesome! I would love to join!

First, I would just like to say that I can't believe it's (almost) November!

Hi! I'm Carmen. I've got the same mindset as you and am looking for friends who can push me to actually reach my goals! Let's be friends :)

Hi, everyone! I just joined MFP and am looking forward to sharing my journey as well as hearing about all of yours! I could definitely use the motivation!
