  • I love this!! Thanks for sharing!
  • I enjoy Mike's Hard Lemonade..the light version. It has 100 calories and 1g of carbs. Also, like everyone else has suggested, vodka or rum with water and lime or a diet drink of some sorts.
  • I think it sounds yummy!!!
  • I know it may sound silly....but recently I have LOVED eating marshmallows...the mini ones of course, but man they taste so good
  • Exactly what everyone else has said! Do NOT give up!! This might be too much information, but if you are ovulating or if your period is around the corner, you tend to hold onto a little more water weight around those times. When I have my period, I literally don't budge in my weight or I will gain a couple of pounds..then…
  • You just mix the cake mix, pumpkin and chocolate chips together. You don't premix the cake with eggs or anything. Just pour the dry cake mix into a bowl, and add the pumpkin and chocolate chips and stir until it's all mixed together!! They are super yummy!
  • Wow...I really needed that. My husband has been away for 8 weeks on military training and we still have another 6 to go until we are together again. We have been fighting constantly but mostly because we are apart and we are miserable when we are apart. Thank you so much for writing that!! It is exactly what I needed :)
  • Thank god!! My shoe size when down too when I started losing weight!! I was in a 7 now I am in a 5.5!!! I am happy I am not the only one!! Maybe it's water weight that we are losing in our feet..I know when I was pregnant I'd be lucky if I could've put on a pair of shoes!!
  • I have been protein powder since the end of January and have seen huge results in my body's appearance. I take one a half hour before my workout and then right after I work out. The nutritionist that I spoke with told me that protein powder helps build muscle and burn fat. I love taking it because I honestly believe that…
  • I have done the 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism all by Jillian Michaels and they are amazing for toning! I would suggest her No More Trouble Zones DVD!! The only cardio that is in it really is in the warm up, the rest is strength and toning. You can notice a HUGE difference in just a…
  • Bump!! I'm going to try this when my husband comes for leave from his military training this week end!! Yummy!
  • I use a whey protein called Promisil. It's really good! I take a shake 30 minutes before my workout and 30 minutes after my workout. I just use water to mix mine because I don't want the extra calories from the milk and honestly it doesn't taste bad at all. I know it works really well!! magnolia1077, how does the protein…
  • Thank you everyone so much!! Makes me feel so much better that it's not just me and that it's just part of the weight loss journey!!! Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!
  • I have actually done Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and No More Trouble Zones and they are strength orienated indeed. I just bought her Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism and it is ALL cardio...there are no weights at all to this routine. It's super intense, but like you, I wanted to have a more well rounded routine and I…
  • I went on Tuesday and spoke with a lady at the nutrition store in our mall about fat burners. She told me that CLA was good, but you won't see results for at least 8 weeks and you will need to take anywhere from 4-6 tablets a day. The good about CLA is that it's a natural fatty acid..it's something that is found in meats…
  • I don't know what kind of exercise routine you are doing, but I am also going through a plateau right now and when I spoke to the lady at the nutrition store she told me the same old, "change up your work out, diet, etc"....So I decided to change my work out first. I was doing Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones for…
  • I eat Thinsations on occasion. I usually buy them, put them in a tupperware container on top of the fridge, and try my hardest to forget about them. I always have them in the house in case I have a crazy craving...especially when it's my TOM. For me, they always satisfy my sweet tooth and I don't feel that guilty about…
  • Thank you so much everyone for reassuring me that I am completely normal! Ah, I feel so much better now knowing that it happens to other women too! My shoulders suddenly seem a bit lighter....
  • I don't know if you are from the USA or Canada, but in Canada we have a protein shake called Promisil. I have been taking it for about 30 days now and I find it awesome and the taste isn't bad at all. You may be able to find it in the USA, but I am not 100% sure.
  • What I have heard do is to switch up your work out. I understand you do a lot of different work outs, but maybe you should try to pick up a different exercise. I just know that when you plateau, the experts suggest trying to switch things up. From my understanding, you plateau because your body is getting use to the way…
  • My advice would be: 1. Use smaller plates for dinner (according to Prevention magazine, by using "saucers" instead of dinner plates you can lose up to 2lbs a month!). 2. Eat tons of veggies! 3. Find an activity or exercise that you love doing! It will make working out more enjoyable if you do something you love!
  • I absolutely LOVE Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs!! They are my all time favourite but I can't eat them anymore!! But my new choice is Nature's Path Organic Flax!! It taste like Bran cereal!
  • I am starting Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred today and I love it! I have seen great results! I have lost 4.5" off my waist, 2" off my bust and 1" off my hips and have lost a total of 15lbs! It's a really great work out! You should totally try it!
  • Oh I have sssooo many that help me when I work out!! Here are a few of my favourites that help keep me pumped!! - I've Got a Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas - Diplo Rhythm (I forget who it's by) -Sexy Chick -Bad Romance by Lady Gaga -Poker Face by Lady Gaga Those are just a few that I really like to listen too, but really…
  • I just started on this site as well and I think it's an awesome website. It really makes you accountable for what you eat each day and it shows you exactly what you are putting into your body. I think it's an amazing tool!! Good luck to you on losing the weight! You can do it!
  • You are doing a fantastic job Gina!! You should be very proud of yourself!!:tongue:
