you look great!

I think she looks great, for her body type. She isn't built like a stick, she has curves. In no way do I think she is FAT. Most people could use some toning up now and then, but she looks great and not at all fat.

Thats a normal burn for 30 day shred, and the easier it gets, the less you burn. I started around 204 and then went down to about 160 something when on level 1, and so on for each level.

^^^ It sounds like you need new friends. You need friends who motivate you to do better, but understand when your day goes badly, or you just don't have as much time to eat. Life is different every day, so you food diary will be too. .

AMAZING!

Me too! lol and my husband in the living room on his tv.. me typing on my computer, trying to play on here and do my school work. gahhh the noises!

.

Great work! I can see a difference. Remember slow and steady will win the race, and don't get disocuraged if you don't lose that much every month. It will fluctuate... Stay positive and keep up the GREAT work! :)

oh and you may want to bump those cals up a bit so you dont wake up starving and eat a boat load. Maybe a protein shake or something could get your cals higher..but I do get what you were trying to accomplish.

I wouldn't say eliminate taste.. I'd say, try to like the taste of the nutritious foods you eat. It may take a little time, (or a lot) but it will eventually happen. I now crave vegie burgers, bell pepper, zuchinni and all sorts of vegis and less of the bad stuff. It just taskes adjusting. I don't even like fast food…

oh and starvation mode is real..but it takes work to be in true starvation made, and you notice the term thrown around a lot.

You can always try a snack of almonds, or other nuts. They typically will keep you full, and help up your calories. At the end of the day it is your choice, and we all work differently. Ask your doctor what he/she thinks... I am sure he/she will say to eat more, but your doctor knows your body better than us on the…

I love Jillian- but I tried that and it did not even out at the end of the week. I gained from it... My body has to do small changes here and there. I can't go from 1200 cals to 2000 cals without a gain.. Just not the way my body works.. I wish though! and to use this properly without confusion.. I would set the exercise…

interesting...

Agreed. I don't save calories. It's a day by day thing. I do have my weekly cheat meal and glass of wine (or two), but I never go over maintenance calories (like 1700ish) and if I do, I try to work it off. My body does not respond to spiking- in a postive way, it has always been BAD. I gain an easy 2-3 pounds and spend an…

Vegi burger patties are like 110-130 cals skinny cow ice cream is 100-150 calories per serving (and to me, the serving is nice) 100 calories popcorn (butter and kettlecorn flavors) I would drink a glasss of water and leave the 90 cals, unless the water doesn't work and you're truly hungry.

I love a vanilla greek yogurt with some granola on top- its tastes like a dessert!

I only log mine when I do a deap clean on my house.. Cleaning up after 2 kids, a husband and a dog (lol) can be tough work! I burned around 600 calories the last time I did it, and I was pouring sweat like I had just finished a Jillian Video. I see how some say that they still got fat while cleaning there house...but they…

I have a kinect, and I love it. However, I would say buy the elliptical. It's a long term investment that might be more beneficial. You do burn calories on the kinect, however you have to play intensly and if you aren't wearing a heart rate monitor you burns will be way off. It tell me I burn about 87 calories in 30…

Here! Navy :)

Before this thread gets insanely rude... I understand what you are saying: You are worried about the health of the girls who are over working in the gym, and not enough. I also realize that you were just using banning them as an example, to show how worried you are, and how much you want them to get healthy.. -The idea of…

I recently created a new one, but just for family and close friends...because I moved from CA to KY... My brothers are young and are always on there, so I just use it to spy on them..haha and obviously to keep in touch with my family.--otherwise, it is so annoying now. It's like a damn reality show, and even the people you…

Finally!

I take a womens one a day vitam. It has 100% Iron. Love it.

I keep a closed diary..but I will tell you where I get a ton of recipes... skinnytaste.com so lovely. Also, my main problem has been sodium. Most dieticians say 1500mg per day. Having too much can make it hard to lose (alll that water) but don't eliminate it totally because it is a nutrient you need, Just some tips :) Oh…

I found this out a while ago.. bumping so others can get to read it! GREAT INFO

BUMP - I am working to get my sodium to 1500. I already prepare my own sauces, and things like that... but I need to work on salad dressings and things like that!
