I just posted something similar on someone else post. You're not eating enough. You need to be consuming about 1400-1800 cals depending on your activity. If you're working out you probably are in the range of 1500-1800 cals a day. So you're still in starvation mode as far as I'm concerned. I'm there as well because I've…

I do use real cream in my coffee but the others I don't. So I'll have to try this. Thanks.

Lol. Yes!!!! I usually have about 48oz the first hour I'm at work. I have 64 for sure once I'm home. One 32oz cup with dinner and the other slowly adding up before bed. So yes, it all in the end adds up to about a gallon of water a day!!! For me water is the easiest thing to incorporate.

I made the fastest and most yummiest soup last night that I guess you can make in batches and freeze. I made it just for one for my lunch today. 4oz of skinless chicken breast- grilled/baked 2 cups of organic chicken broth, low sodium 4oz of calabacitas, which is just a mexican squash I combined them all together and let…

I haven't heard of it but I must admit that I tell ppl who want to use fat burners to use black coffee or espresso as a safer alternative. I LOVE coffee but I dont think I'd like being on it 24/7 or for diet purposes. Lol. :noway:

OMG!!! EXACTLY!!! I think that its hard for us to wrap our head around eating more bc society and diets and blah blah blah tells us to eat less. And you're right, with being on this site, although its very supportive, I can't help but think that there's something wrong w/me bc I'm not having no where near enough results. I…

I use them in my grount turkey. So I chop up a whole bunch of them and saute them with the ground turkey when its cooking. It doubles your meat as well. :) carrots I use them in with the chicken to make a lemon chicken noodle soup. Buy some organic chicken/veggie broth and saute the carrots, onions and some celery then add…

Ok, I have lost 6lbs since January 7th; frustration doesn't even start to describe what I feel!!!!! I have been doing 1200 cals too because I have a goal to reach by August. Today I weighed in just for kicks!!! Nothing again! So I was walking back to my desk and decided to talk to my co-worker, which was a personal trainer…

hmm. I haven't heard this for women on the contrary I've heard that for men.

Do you mind telling us how tall and the weight you currently are at. Just for comparing cals burnt. Thanks. This sounds about right.

I take a 1/4 C of the whole thing.

It's yummy!!!! I make a big batch and just scoop out what I need daily. Its great w/steel cut oats. add cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract whatever you like and presto!!

before I had my son and had a tight no stretch mark stomach I was not that confident showing that much skin. Now!!!! I am not yet at my bikini body weight but honey when I get there I will be rocking a two piece and EVERY single short shorts I can afford!!!! They have faded some but still. I think its all in the confindenc…

You're more than welcome to see my diary for examples of what I eat. I will do a list of my must haves. Egg whites whole grain bread preferably Ezekiel but Natures Own 100% WW will do (check the label for stone ground!!!) almond butter, organice no salt added or PB same thing apples, strawberries, any berries, bananas…

I love it!!! I think its the best way to get good energy. Its not like you're slamming them down one after the other. I usually do an espresso shot. :)

As much as I would like to disagree, its true. I think MFP is not on target with what we really believe we're burning. This is coming from a personal trainer who uses her HRM. So yes, invest.

I would totally rock some legging with the lace at the bottom ( remember????) some white keds, a NKOTB shirt tied in a ball on the side, a pony tail really high with a scrunchy and my bangs totally flipped high with some aqua net. Oh and colored nails!!!! With some big colored loop earings.

HA!! What an amazing end pic results!! You should be so proud of yourself. I just started 30DS this Monday so I'm super excited to hopefully get results like you!! I can't wait to see your second set of pics.

Wow!! You're such and inspiration. We're the same height and you weighed what I do now. Congrats. You look thin!!! And your back is like half your size. Great job girl!

sounds great!!! I'm excited then. We wear the same the sizes. :) I actually tried on a size 8 last weekend and I was thrilled!!!! Thanks!

I just started 30DS this Monday and was wondering if you saw any results with it? I will try the ripped in 30 once I've done 30DS. Thanks!!!

Hi. Thanks for the input. My long steady miles are a must for my marathon training so I need to get those in. Running accounts for 2-3x a week. I do Crossfit and bodyrock workouts which is a lot of circuit training with weights which accounts for at least 3x a week.Thanks for your input. Its greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I changed my settings to include fiber and sodium. I think I'm good on both of these. Carbs, I can see maybe cutting down a bit on them but I don't think I can manage letting some of those go since I run. I might be able to cut back on the days that I do not run. So I'll defintely consider that. I do not have a…

yes!!!

same here!!!

Yes, I couldn't agree more. Have a hearty breakfast, usually doing this will help blood sugars any how through out the day. Eat some high calorie snacks. Hummus, natural PB, add a little more healthy fats into your diet like Avocado on a sandwhich or salad, and some beans. Small but filling and they're higher in cals. Hope…

I have the original and I use it still. I love it. Its fun and it gets you pumped because the music is soooo cool. I think she's came out with a new version which I have not used but seems a little more intense.

I'm with you 100%. My husband is the same way. I'm hispanic and I believe in having a little meat on our bones. However, not too much either. I still wanna rock a two piece you know. My husband and I have this conversation quite a few times because he thinks my goal of 45lbs is WAY too much and that he doesn't know where…

try some good fat. Usually when we're dieting hardcore we lack good quality fats. natural no salt PB, Olive Oil, Fish oil, etc. Sometimes I'll have a tbs of PB and that'll do it for me. Hope this helps.

I soak mine overnight. Its easier and I just scoop out every morning how much I want. Put them in a container and add either water, almond milk, or fat free milk and I put some nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, whatever you like and let them sit. Scoop out in the morning and add your fruit!
