Just remember this and feel better knowing that exercise and hard work can and will change your appearance, but no amount of exercise can change an ugly personality. He's stuck that way.

Thank you so much for your reply! That makes me feel more motivated to know other people have had success with the program. I was originally 138 lb, got down to 108 in about 7 months by walking and eating 1500 cal a day. I wasn't necessarily toned but I had lost so much that I looked and felt so small and absolutely loved…

Love this analogy!

Thank you so much for your reply! The carb cycling is definitely something to consider and I'll up my protein especially on days when I lift. I usually would do 20-30 minutes of medium to high intensity elliptical or stationary bike on my in-between days. After a lift session I get on the elliptical for 15 minutes or so as…

thanks for all the replies! It is hard for me to accept the whole rest concept…psychologically I feel like if I'm not moving I can't lose weight. I still have some mental hurdles to jump. Definitely will look into HIIT. I've heard that it is really good for increasing afterburn, but would something like that disrupt the…

I always used to hate yogurt, the texture and the taste. I also avoided it because some of them have so much sugar in such small portions! Then I discovered Greek yogurt. I go back and forth between Chobani and Fage and honestly I don't care much for the taste of it plain but I get creative. Sometimes I mix in a little…

I'm pretty wary of eating back all my exercise calories and always try to stay under anyway just because it's so easy to overestimate the calories burned especially if you go by generalized numbers!

I've been 8 away for quite awhile now. Actually it has fluctuated between 8 and 12 because the more I would stress myself out the more I would slide back into old habits, not to mention the super fun daily fluctuations of being a woman :) Being on this forum helps so much because people are realistic and helpful without…

I have the 30 day shred and am up to level 2 but unfortunately I started doing other things and got distracted. I should already be done with it if I did it as often as I was supposed to but maybe I'll start over again from the beginning! I really like it because it uses the intervals, it's challenging but not crazy and…

25 but 26 as of Friday! Just started here and figuring it out, always looking for other people to motivate me and share secrets/stories!

Thank you! I'm sure I'll figure this all out eventually and utilize it as much as possible. Btw I love the armband, I forget it's there most of the time until it beeps to remind me to eat.

thanks for the quick replies! I almost wrote quick recipes…that's how bad my obsession is getting. I am definitely going to be eating carbs on vacation. I could try to limit them but it will be very hard for me not to especially since I will be eating out a lot and won't have as much access to my usual food or ability to…

Sorry I'm new to the site so please bear with me if I reply incorrectly. By fixings metabolism I mean that I assume I slowed it considerably by eating hardly anything and exercising. I assume this is the case because after initial weight loss from cutting calories I continued to gain weight and lose muscle despite eating…
