Ranch dressing is also my favorite! Here's how I make a lo cal version. I take fat free or low fat yogurt & mix it with a packet of the dry Ranch dressing seasoning. It's creamy, lo fat, lo cal, & yummy.

Yay for you!! Proof that your hard work will pay off!

Level 1 day 5 here....I'll be on your team!! So far I've noticed my endurance & strength improving, I thought I was going to die for the first two days,lol. I've read a lot about the Shred stating that the real noticeable results show up in weeks 3 & 4. Let's keep it up, we can do this!!

Best wishes for a fabulous marriage! Both of your photos are beautiful however, you look sooo different in the one from your wedding day.....proof that hard work pays off!!

Hahahahahahaha.....do I smell road rage?

No, I wouldn't count driving as exercise. Have a safe trip!

I'm also on 1400 calories a day. I am on day 5 of Jillian's 30 Day Shred & I don't eat back my exercise calories. I don't know if this is good advice or not, but I've already lost a couple of lbs. & can tell that I am building muscle. Jillian is kicking my butt!

When you visit Disney World you will be doing soooo much walking that you won't have to worry about those extra calories. My guess is that you'll probably be doing some swimming too! Don't stress about it, go & enjoy your vacation.

Feel free to add me as a friend!

Feel free to add me sister!

:laugh: Great minds think alike!

I think it is easier for people who have not seen you for a while to notice, rather than those who see you regularly.

Right back at ya!

You kicked butt sister, just look at those fabulous summertime abs! I just did day 1 today...had to do some of the modified moves at times but am sticking with it!

I had my first "shred" day today too!

For anyone who believes that Starvation Mode is a myth....go & ask someone with Crohn's disease their opinion.

I spread it on a light hamburger bun to replace the cheese on my turkey burgers...the new sharp white cheddar flavor is sooo yummy!

Hi Ivan! Best wishes to you, feel free to add my as a friend!!!

Personally, I think these are probably the types of friends who would love to sabotage your weight loss efforts. I have a couple of friends like this....they'd be happier if I was still sitting around with them chowing down on mozzarella sticks and pie!

We've all felt discouraged at times, don't give up....you got this sister!

BRAVO!!!!! :happy: You sir, are an inspiration and proof that people can overcome their challenges! Your weight loss is a remarkable accomplishment. I do have one thought regarding your "dizziness." Perhaps you should look into Vestibular Therapy....in short it retrains your brain until you are no longer dizzy.

Bump

I think a lot of the posts here are dramatically over complicating this topic. If you don't want to feed yourself or your kids fast food, then do not patronize these establishments....simple as that! Need a quick dinner for the kids because you don't cook? How about a can of vegetable soup & a tuna fish sandwich? Better…

Oh....I am sooo going to make these TODAY!! Taking the eggs out of the fridge right now. I'm also going to steal your mini lemon meringue pie idea. ( genius!) What else do you have up your sleeve???

I think you have the type of friend who is trying to sabotage your healthy efforts!!!

Check into the 5:2 fasting group on this forum. Basically, you eat your maintenance calories (the amount of calories needed to maintain your weight) 5 days a week. Then, 2 non consecutive days a week you eat 1/4 of your maintenance calories focusing on healthy proteins & veggies. This lifestyle has been shown to prevent…

Why not try a small, crustless quiche instead on an omelette? There are so many variations & it can be served warm, cold, or room temp.

Badass!!!

Best wishes for your journey, you CAN do it!!!!!
