Sometimes you lose some muscle along with the fat. I think it is just inevitable. If you are continuing to get stronger, I wouldn't worry about it. Once you hit your goal weight, you can eat maintenance (or a little more) to put back on some muscle mass. Maybe you haven't been eating enough protein AND you NEED fats to…

I feel like I missed something....

get my belly button pierced and go on a massive shopping spree that I've been holding off since I gained weight a year ago

I could be wrong but I think you're supposed to make sure you get enough fats as well. As long as you hit the amount of grams of fat and protein you need you can fill the rest with whatever you want.

Jillian Michael's Body Revolution!

I printed out a calendar and made a plan. Planned my meals for the week so I didn't get caught eating junk, planned out when and what I would do for workouts. I went low in calories for the first week just to kick start it. I was a "knew how to eat right and workout, just didn't do it type", once I started being healthy…

dehydration. the end.

For your height, you weight is very normal. Your body isn't going to want to lose weight because you are most likely in a healthy range. If you are really unhappy with your body, I suggest you work on weight lifting to change your body composition and build lean muscle mass.

Personally I was lucky. My parents were able to pay for most of my education out of pocket, that in combination with some pretty substantial athletic and academic scholarships, in state grants (private school) and "adult" learning pricing, I won't have a substantial amount of debt when I graduate in May. It is all about…

nothing, I would ignore it. When I run mine is consistently over the "zone"

you look so much healthier! your skin looks beautiful! I love how losing weight and being healthy really helps with skin, hair and such, not just the body :smile:

I take a One-A-Day Active Metabolism. Don't think it really helps with my metabolism but it does give me a GOOD energy boost throughout the day. It has B vitamins and about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee in it which is good for that. I also just think I am probably missing a lot of key nutrients on my diet. It is…

I have the same problem too. I have found that not bringing anything bad into the house helps. I also have found that logging my day before it starts keeps me on track :smile:

It's tough which is great. I don't really like it though. I get kind of bored during it. Must be the music or something? I have a ton of JM videos, I usually don't do this one anymore.

I get straight up sick if I drink a lot of crystal light. It really messes with my tummy.

I have 10 pound weights from target too! haha but yea I've looked at ebay and amazon but I don't see how they are going to ship 30-40 pounds worth of weights. TJMAXX and Marshalls is a GREAT idea though, thanks!

I tried it once and I really didn't like it. I love all of JM's videos but the site doesn't really give you much. Just a hard to follow meal plan and exercise routine. They make you pay in advance for 13 weeks too so I ended up wasting 52 dollars. And then I had to email customer service just to make sure they didn't bill…

Dr. Oz is weird. That being said I usually get around that much protein for breakfast, simply because I need it if I want to hit my protein mark for the day. I usually eat eggs, turkey bacon, greek yogurt etc.

I have been using 5 lbs. and 10 lbs. I want some heavier ones. Maybe 12, 15 & 20 but they are SO expensive!

Can I ask why you say this? There are many people on here that love Jillian Michaels and have seen results with most of her dvds. I have almost all of them. I find most of her dvds quite enjoyable and I know they work. I don't have a gym membership and almost 95% of my workout dvds are Jillian Michaels dvds. As you can see…

I just ordered it tonight! sooo I don't have much input until I start once I get it. and I agree, she has an awesome body, and mine has improved a ton since I started her workout videos :smile:

I must say, I rocked those when I was 12 years old. I would do more than the boys in the class....and more than I can do now. that being said, when I was a college swimmer the max I think I ever got to was like 3... and I was strong and fit. they are just plain difficult. but I've always figured that losing weight would…

Why would you ever put yourself through 4 hours of working out a day? I was forced to do this in college when I was a swimmer and it was miserable.

lack of caffeine = headaches. it will get better, just hang in there. Sometimes it is better to "ween" yourself off of it. Maybe drink a little coffee or tea to get a small caffeine fix

I don't understand why people in their teens want to date people much older. Those that are older should recognize the immaturity and those that are younger should recognize the difference in generations. 20sometimes go out to bars and have jobs and maybe kids. 18 year olds are looking for education, starting out on small…

It isn't zero calorie but it is close: sugar free red bull. but then again it is crunch time at school and I'm three weeks out of graduating. Therefore, I don't give a f*** if they are bad for me :)

Try adding another fitness routine. I swam in college and I can tell you that I'm actually skinnier now than I was when I was swimming 3 hours a day. I think the more you do it, the more efficient you get at it and you have a hard time burning a lot of calories. Add in some walking/running if you can along with some body…

I either look beforehand, or on my smartphone when I'm there. Or I just say f*** it and eat whatever I want. Sometimes things "appear" healthy, but you have to be a smart consumer. You have to realize that sauces and dressings and cheeses are typically the reason things are higher in calories. It is really easy to make a…

Sadly, there is nothing you can do about it. But I can completely understand how much this probably torments you. I have a serious problem with people that don't teach their children how to live healthy lifestyles. By the time they realize they want to change, it is too late. Sometimes education is more important than…
