Agreed! I'm sure your real smile is lovely.

lachesisss thanks you. 9 or 10 you are beautiful. love the lipstick!

For Marti :)

8 you have great eyes and a gorg. smile:) good hair, too

I am the same way! Sometimes I will just have a small slice of cheese and that is enough (wisconsin girl :) )

Thanks again, everyone! These were some great suggestions. :) Going for another late run tonight!

I am the same way. If I start my day with sugary cereal I want sugary carbs all day. If you start out healthy- you want to stay healthy :)

I hear that! I can completely relate. Overall, I eat pretty healthy but I definitely have a sweet tooth and a LOVE for yummy carbs and sugars. There are a three things that I have found to work pretty well: 1. Print out some motivational pictures of what you want your body to look like when you reach your goal. Mine…

That is a great idea. I would love to get up early (Cooriander) but I am currently working as a bartender..so early mornings aren't always feasible when I've gone to bed at 3am. I also hear working out at night is good because (as long as you do not eat after) its more likely your body is burning fat when you sleep rather…

I can completely relate today- I KNOW I need to work out.. but instead I have gotten ice cream with a friend and am sitting lazily in front of a fan at home because of the heat. We can do it! It is easy to leave things to tomorrow but we will both feel so much better and proud of ourselves if we stick to our guns. Also-…

Dont get down on yourself. Seriously- this weekend I went out of control and was eating donuts and cookies and all sorts of food that I didnt even eat when I dieting wasnt even on my radar. I puffed up like a balloon and gained a bunch of water weight and was feeling super down. But now im back on track and feel great…

Ikenn67- I thought about it some more and I think that I am going to continue onto cycle 2. I was talking with my sister, who has done this before, and she was reminding me that if I don't move forward then my metabolism wont reset like its supposed to. Regardless of whether or not ive had bad days, my body still needs me…

I am in the same boat as you, girl. I really want to start cycle one again. I was doing so well and losing weight and feeling great...and each weekend I've gotten really off. Especially this weekend- I went totally carb crazy and now I am super bummed and just feel like a sad pathetic glutton. But you dont fail until you…

Hey Everyone! I just noticed this message board and decided to take a look because I REALLY want to reach my weight goal by Christmas! What is this thread, exactly? Just support to persevere until the holidays? And more importantly, can i join this late in the game??

Here is the recipe! It turns out like regular yogurt, even a little bit thinner than that. But its yummy. I love Greek yogurt too- I want to learn to make that next! Homemade Yogurt! (Edit post) Posted on 10/18/2011 by Gogretchen1 Hey all! I'm so happy to share this recipe with you all because its SO easy and so much more…

I also wanted to ask if any of you are interested in a homemade yogurt recipe? I dont know if you guys have ever made homemade yogurt but its super easy and when you eat a lot of it (which we are kind of supposed to on this diet) not needing to buy yogurt every week really saves a penny! You can control how many calories…

Steph- actually, no that is not a recipe that is in the book! I'm not sure babybell cheeses are allowed...but I figure they are only 35 calories and when matched with something nutritious that is definitely on the diet- it is a much better snack when you're craving a little treat than having some cheezits or something!…

Today went well overall! It was SUPER gloomy outside so I was feeling a bit unmotivated and didnt really get much exercise in, which usually means I go over on my cal goal..but not today! I am so pleased with myself because I-being the sweet-toothed gal i am- was having some serious cravings today and was close to caving a…

One serving of rice isn't going to kill ya. And I'm sure it was delish at least-qdoba? yum. Good for you for stayin positive :) Tomorrow- here we come!

Hey Everyone! I am halfway through day 2 of 17dd and Its going well!! I already feel like I have more energy and motivation to get all of my responsibilities done each day. I STILL don't have the official book yet...my Sister said she was sending it in the mail but I am worried it wont come for another 4 days or so. Thank…

To answer your question, yes. I have had great success with MFP and simply just eating right. To be entirely honest, I dont really NEED to lose weight. I started MFP in the spring as a way to stay healthy and maybe lose ten lbs...but then school started...and my job...and im a dancer so i have rehearsals constantly, and I…

17 Day Diet The 17 Day Diet was created by Dr. Mike Moreno, a family practice physician in California. After being featured on The Doctors TV show and Dr. Phil it has rapidly become one of the hottest weight loss plans of the moment. Initially Dr. Moreno designed the diet to help people to prevent weight gain or lose any…

To all who are joining- heck yes. Lets do this thing! I have just started day one and it hasn't been bad at all so far. Surely, come Saturday I'll be aching for some peanut butter toast but resisting is going to be so worth it! I know I am someone who benefits with hearing about other people's success and keeping in touch…

haha YES! haters back off lol

That's what is great about this diet- It's actually healthy and quite far from "the dark side" :) Its not a crash diet, or a miracle pill, and no..it is not a diarrhea drink- its nothing like that, in fact. I get that eating healthy and exercising is all you need in the long run but the point of this program is to retrain…

I did the SAME thing Monday. haha. The worst way to start the day-for sure! But hey that just means you needed the sleep. There's still plenty of time to get ripped :)

That is great news! I'm excited- lets do this thing :)

Alright, here we go! It's in the planner and everything so count me in. I am going to stick to this thing- I'm excited :) Height: 5'4'' SW: 134 CW: 123 (by Nov. 10th) GW: 115 (by Dec. 1st!!!)

This is exactly the type of thing that I am looking for! The only issue is I haven't done the 30 day Shred..can you start with this one?

I also just logged in to MFP looking for a group to help me stay motivated! I would love to be involved with whatever forms.
