There are definitely some days when I base how much I exercise on what I want to eat! *L* I have mine set for losing two pounds a week and I eat back almost all of my exercise calories and so far I've lost more than two pounds a week. If I don't eat them back I would be under 1200 and everything I've read says that that's…

I sort of made the Saucy Pasta Swap from 1-2-3 tonight (well, I cheated and used premade spaghetti sauce because I forgot to go get a couple of ingredients) but the broccoli slaw instead of noodles was actually really good! They had a great texture.

Missed today =( Oh well, back on schedule tomorrow!

Hungry Girl cookbooks are my favorite! I use them all the time. My favorite right now is the Pulled Chicken BBQ from Hungry Girl 1-2-3.

I don't mind the lunges. Anything lower body is okay, but the dumbbell press with the squat gets me. It kills my arms! I know, I know, that's how I know its working...and bicycle crunches really ARE the devil.

I lost about thirty pounds last year and then just kind of got frustrated and gave up for a little while. During that time I gained back twelve pounds of what I had lost. What got me really motivated was seeing pictures of myself from before I lost the weight. I saw it and it reminded me that I did NOT want to look like…

L1D2 completed...and I still hate bicycle crunches...I do okay until she gets to those. I am a wimp and only use 2 lb. weights right now though. *L*

I like a diet soda with my meals. I don't drink them much just sitting around or snacking. I love my water or Crystal Light or V8 for that...but when I am eating a real meal, for some reason, I always want a soda or Splenda tea. Maybe its the Southern girl in me, growing up with sweet tea at every meal.

I just started back recently, but when I was on here before I used their calorie guidelines and lost 20 pounds fairly easily with lots of exercise. I do eat back most of my exercise calories, but sometimes I can't eat them all, it would just be too much. I also usually check their calories burned against a couple of other…

I had forgotten how much I HATE bicycle crunches! *L*

Bicycle crunches...I HATE bicycle crunches...

Workout kicked my butt today...but completed...ugh...

i am struggling with the same thing today! I'll do my workout if you do your workout. *L*

Congratulations! Reward yourself and go somewhere special in your boots!

I want in! I will have to find my DVD this evening and start all over at L1D1.

If you're not eating enough calories, your body goes into starvation mode and starts conserving calories. Your metabolism drops, and you will gain or maintain weight instead of losing it.

I do the same thing! I was so good with this site for about three months, then just kind of fell off. Right now, I'm really motivated again, but I'm afraid that I'll just give up or get distracted again.

Boca Grillers are wonderful! They are both very good though.

It's not really a fitness app...but have you tried Just Dance? It's amazingly silly and fun, but it's also an awesome workout!

Hmm..so it's not so much burning fat as deflating the fat balloons...that's a great mental image. :-P

I upped my exercise too. I'm still doing cardio, but I'm trying to add in some of my workout DVDs (I did L1D1 of the Shred last night). I'm just really hoping that it doesn't have the OPPOSITE effect short-term.

Only lost a pound this week. =( I"m going to have to try something different to reach this goal!

I want to look like Catherine Zeta Jones in my next life. She's usually thin, but still very curvy. What's your worst guilty pleasure song? (You know, the one that really bad and you know you shouldn't like it, but you do anyway!)

I think almost everyone here knows about THE FEAR! I know I've tried many diets and never stuck to them for very long. This is even more extreme in a way because it's a lifestyle change, not just a short term filler. I'm very, very scared that I'll just give up or I won't be able to get where I want to.

Just the plain Wii Sports game is pretty fun, and you can work up a sweat playing the boxing and the tennis.

I tried not eating anything when I was just getting a nibbly sweets craving. I just wanted really really bad for me foods even more. I have a killer sweet tooth, so if I satisfy it early with fruit it doesn't get anywhere near as bad later.

:smile:

I think I'm just an oddball. I've lost over 12 pounds now, and most people still haven't noticed. I can't see a difference, but all of a sudden the legs of my jeans are really lose. I'm apparently losing thighs first! This could be very awkward (and funny to see) if it doesn't even out soon, since my friends tease me about…

Blueberries or grapes, eaten really slowly, one at a time. Then come on here and log them as quickly as possible so that I don't overdo it.

Day One down and already cheated a little, but exercised it off so it's okay. *L* My Goals are to: Do the Slim in Six series six days a week Do cardio on my elliptical six days a week Not eat out as much (this is where I messed up today!) Get more sleep Eat better breakfasts I've been on here since January 27 and I've lost…
