3 times a DAY is a bit much. 3 times a week is much better!

You look fabulous!

Great job! Keep up the good work. You're beautiful!

Congrats! Now dry those tears and rock it out!

I agree completely. I eat raw veggies and stay fuller than when I eat chicken or any other kind of protein. I love it! And they are cheap, both money wise and calorie wise.

I haven't done Turbo Fire but I LOVE the original Turbo Jam. It was my best $5 goodwill find!

I will be completely honest. I LOVE my swim suits and I proudly rock them without any kind of cover up. I even loved my swim suits 60 pounds and 5 sizes ago. I learned at a young age that I have to be comfortable and to me, comfortable is in the water so I dont really care what other people think. I will also add that I…

This weekend is going to be especially hard for me. We are going to OCMD to celebrate a friend's birthday and do some bar hopping. It's probably not the smartest choice but I volunteered to be DD so I can watch my calorie intake a lot easier! Good luck this weekend....I know I need it too!

There is a BIG difference! Great job! Keep it up!

I think I still have the Zumba dvds on my computer. If you want a copy, let me know!

Believe it or not, it actually isn't all that expensive to eat "clean." DH and I started eating like this and it's actually saving us money instead of costing more. When you buy things like a whole chicken, that can be enough meat for 3 or 4 days depending how you use it. Soups are also a great way to go. I make a pot on…

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the great advice and as much as I want to quick, I never will. I just need a little reassurance and a kick in the rear sometime. Off to drink some more water! :happy:

It can cause kidney failure. Watch out for it. Everything in moderation!

I loved WW! But I HATE PointsPlus. I think they ruined a great thing. Free fruits? What is that? If I could control myself and eat fruits in a reasonable amount, I wouldn't have weighed over 350 pounds. I lost more weight in 2 weeks on MFP than I did in 4 months on the PP program. I really liked the old momentum program…

Gary, I forgot to ask...are you still doing WW along with MFP?

Go to the bathroom or something! I mean, 0.1 of a pound is nothing more than a few trapped gas bubbles right?

I wouldn't worry about it. Anti Depressants work differently for everyone. Most of them make you gain weight but some make you lose and they work differently on everyone. I would just concentrate on feeling better with the medication but it could make you lose slower. I'm on cymbalta and I am losing slower but when I…

You look incredible! Be proud of yourself! That's fantastic!

Hun, sounds like you aren't eating enough! You gotta eat enough "fuel" to run your body or you'll get stuck. Good luck! Oh, and eat your exercise calories!

Check out cynflcylnce....she's lost 250 pounds!

Shin splits maybe? I'm sorry, I wish I could help! Good luck. I would recommend seeing your doctor if it's been going on for a while and it's affecting your every day life.

Chin up! Even if you think you stayed hydrated, you probably didn't. Drink a LOT of water and it should start to come off.

Thanks for all the replies ladies. DH and I are trying for our first baby and like always, I read too much on the internet. I just get very worried about additional complications with weight. I don't know why I worried so much though because my OB said that if I wanted to get pregnant now, she wouldn't tell me it wasn't a…

I would suggest eating some of your exercise calories. If you don't, your body might do what mine did: Think you're starving and then hold one to your weight. Good luck!

Oh honey, dont EVER say that you shouldn't have quit smoking! Take it from me, you're so much better off! I work in a heart lab and see young people...18 was the youngest so far and he was a smoker....having heart attack every day because of cigarettes!

Oh and before I forget, 0 point fruits are evil. Watch out for them. That's the best advice I can give you.

You should be proud! The first few pounds were the hardest for me. Once you get going, you don't want to stop and it just becomes easier and easier. GREAT JOB!

*raises hand* Me!!! I was an avid weight watcher for a year and I have to say, the new program ruined me. I followed it religiously and I gained....GAINED! :-( I joined here to get back on track and I love it! I'm at 73 so far and have another 125 to go! We can do it!

Haha! I love that CD and Get Me Bodied is my FAVORITE! I also love Disturbed, Nickelback, and other hard rock stuff I ripped from my hubby's iTunes.
