I was doing really well and lost almost 30 lb.! Then, we went on vacation over the summer and it was difficult to continue my healthy lifestyle while traveling and staying and eating at other people's homes. After the vacation I just never got back on track. Slowly I got really far off track and began eating foods I wanted…

I would also do some research on the foods that boost metabolism. Make those calories count! Don't forget to add in some healthy fats! You don't want to cut all fats from your diet, as that can actually slow your metabolism even more.

just another thought.... sometimes I think the tests don't show the whole picture! I was having some difficulties and had thyroid tested, etc. but decided to take matters into my own hands. I began adding a thyroid/pituitary support elixir to my morning smoothies and pretty quickly my metabolism kicked in and started…

:laugh: good post! congratulations on whatever milestone it was that you achieved!

I was beginning to feel like you for awhile. I had lost a little then hit a plateau and lost nothing for several months no matter what I did. I have changed my diet drastically from what it used to be and have gone from sedentary to exercising daily. I finally went to the doctor and had things checked out and other than…

I have not watched my carbs at all. I am just plain eating healthier... eating less meat, more veggies, more fresh/raw foods, cut out most dairy... stay away from high fat foods, processed foods, cut out white sugar/flour, etc. I am losing a steady 1-3 lbs. a week depending on the week, of course. I have also increased my…

the 30 day shred is an exercise video from Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser. It is designed to help you lose as much as 5 lb. a week if you follow a healthy diet and use her video. It is pretty intense! I'm liking it though, even though I can hardly move today! :D Thanks, I will start logging it as circuit training,…

I just started the 30ds this week.... I am sore! However, I do also think if you are working out at a high intensity a longer work out can do wonders!

great job! I can see the difference! I was just planning to start the 30-day shred and was wondering how well it works too. I have been wondering if I need to up my calories a little too? Although, I am losing, it is very slow.

the reason that distilled water helps to cleanse your body of things is that it is devoid of ANYTHING extra. The distilling process pulls everything out of it including any additional minerals. Water basically absorbs things, so the less extra it has in it the more it can grab and pull out with it as it goes through your…

my first thought when I was reading through your post is exactly what you stated.... I think your body is "cleaning house" and working on ridding you of all of the toxins. Hopefully you will get through this cleaning phase soon and you will not have to battle those issues again so long as you continue on your healthier…

Thank you so much for posting this! You are truly an inspiration to everyone who is trying to make these changes. You look absolutely wonderful. The first thing I noticed was how much younger you look now! I am hoping to work towards running a 5K, but it will be awhile yet.... but I WILL do it someday!

Patricialau.... that made me laugh! This banquet is actually a potluck style with meat and beverages supplied by the school.... I guess I will just have to exercise some self-control and stick to the salads and veggie trays... take smaller portions of the obvious higher calorie foods. I am working extra hard at keeping my…

actually, in researching healthy eating habits and weight loss both, it says we should be eating small "meals" throughout the day rather than 3 big meals.... as long as you are eating healthy foods and not just snacking on 100-calorie "food" bars or something like that, then I think you are good. Eating throughout the day…
