You're not a failure - you're here aren't you?! That's half the battle. :) I also peaked at your diary and noticed that there wasn't any exercise tracked - at least for the days i looked at. Are you eating your exercise calories back? If not you could be hitting too low of an overall calorie intake.

This awesome! I was only expecting a couple of replies but now I'm super excited to have some online pals! I've accepted a bunch of request, now I just need to add the rest of you. :)

Thanks guys this is very helpful! What about weekends though? I find those are the hardest because there so un-predictable. Weekdays are usually ok for me because i'm at my desk and it's easy to plan meals because everything is so scheduled.

Hi everyone I'm 29 and looking to lose 20 lbs as well. My goal is to lose a pound a week and so far I've lost 4. I don't have an open diary but might be willing to share with friends. I haven't decided yet. Some of the people who've added me as friends so far all eat below 1300 a day and I just can't relate to that... SO…

Can't wait to be a part of this thread! You are all so amazing! Congrats!

I'm 5'6" too and currently weight 160 - sigh. my goal right now is to get to 145 and see how I feel. I have a pear shape too and everything is stuck below my waist! lol. What's everyone else doing to get the weight off? I'm been trying to boost cardio, and strength train and do ballet once a week.

It only took me a week for my body to adjust but it also adjusted very quickly to too low cals and i stopped losing after just two weeks. I gained .6 last week and this week i'm down 1.6 in one week! I had upped my calls to 1500 + eating back exercise cals. Basically I never net lower than 1500. I'm 5'6" and 160 right now.

I'm happy I found this thread too! I just started MFP three weeks ago. Only down 2 pounds but I'm still adjusting calorie intake and determining what I'm actually burning while working out. I'm 5'6" 162 and hoping to get to 145. Anyone else have a pear shape? Mind sharing their measurements? I'm 34-29-42 (inches - bust,…

I'm tracking my measurements as well but I tend to wait a couple weeks between measurements. I find week to week there's not always noticeable changes. I'm 5'6.5" and 162 lbs. My goal is to get to 145 but we'll see how it goes. I have a a major pear shape with a 34" chest, 29" inch waist (measured at natural waist not…

I don't weigh every day. I weigh once a week on Tuesdays. The reason I asked the question and weighed myself today is because my weight went up after the hard workout. It's discouraging to see the number go up after a week of hard work. Hence weighing myself the next day to see if it's related to the workout or if i'm…

Week three of BBL's pear solution is deadly!! Alternating days of Sculpt and then CArdio Axe & Bum Bum together. I did the two together last night and was sweating bullets!

I weighed myself today and I am down overall by .4 lbs but it's still very frustrating! I workout 6 days a week and stay within my calorie count. I'd really like to lose a pound a week. Is it possible my body is still adjusting?? If that's the case how long does it take for it to get used to the activit?

Thanks! That makes sense - wrong diagnosis but right idea I guess. lol Looking forward to weighing myself tomorrow to see the number go down. I was planning on doing cardio tonight but would it be better to take a rest day? My rest days are usually Saturday or Sunday.

We're going to Jamaica! 4 weeks from today in fact! I'm sooo excited haha. I'm on week three now of the program and my weigh in day is tomorrow. Last week I lost a pound and an inch off my waist. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll see some change in my thighs and hips. I don't think one round of the program is going to do it to be…

Hi! I'm on day 9 of BBL the pear solution. I did a few months ago but got off track after week two. This time I plan on completing the entire program! I have a vacation in 5 weeks that i'd really like to tone up for. Happy to support you with this! I love all of the workouts but Cardio Axe is my favourite. I have High and…

I didn't track well last week and paid for it! Up to 162.6 today. not the end of the world but definitely not where I want to be right now! :( I'm focussed on getting to 161 next week and breaking the 160's by New Year's!

162.2 this week! Down .8 and back on track from my birthday weekend indulgence!

Congrats Pammy! That's amazing!! Weighed in at 163 this morning. Up 0.8 from last week :(. I can't be too upset about it though, it was my birthday over the weekend and I let myself indulge. If you can't cheat on your birthday then when can you right?!! Back on track today and until 2012 for me though! My goal is to lose 5…

No, no and No! These over the counter pills are NOT regulated in Canada and can have any number of questionable ingredients in them! There's no magic pill for weight loss.... sorry :(

Hi I weighed in at 162.2 today! Down 1.4! Now the hard part of NOT weighing myself for an entire week....

Hi! I've just joined the group if that's ok. I guess I'll way in tomorrow and send it in. I'm 5'6.5" (that half inch is important!) and last time I weighed in I was 163.6. I'm looking to loose 15 lbs by Feb 11th when we go on vacation! I'm hoping the weekly weigh in's will keep me on track. The past few months have really…

Well I psyched myself out last week. I only lost 0.4 lbs this week. Don't get me wrong, at least the scale is moving in the right direction but I was hoping to keep it at 1 lb a week minimum. The killer for me right now is the weekends. I let myself slip, I know I've done well all week and so I stop tracking. I have the…

Well I made it past thanksgiving weekend! Past the desert, pumpkin pie, wine and birthday cake - it was my dad's birthday too. Despite all of that I still managed to lose a pound! I'm quite proud of myself for that, especially since i'm bloated right now and retaining water - thank you mother nature! sigh. I did Bum Bum…

Thanks for the tip. I have looked at ChaLEAN but wanted to force myself to commit to something before I invested in more DVD sets. I love the way BBL works your butt though lol! Last night was a good night and I stayed within my calorie alotment. Things are going to be tough going into Thanskgiving weekend but I think i'll…

Hey! I hope everyone is doing well! I had Cardio Axe and Bum Bum last night and I was a hot mess afterwards! The two of them together really pushed me. How's everyone else doing?

This week's eating as been rough... is it just me or do you find when aunt flo comes you want to eat everything in sight!! I've kept up with pushing play and have done all the workouts. I had a hard time with sculpt last night cause i twinged my shoulder but i'm really liking the combination of moves that you do. How's…

Update - I've adjusted my diet down to 1330 for cals and am aiming for 40/30/30 - 40% protein, 30%carb, 30% fat. And I must have been bloated or something yesterday (TMI, I know) because I weighed myself this morning and I'm actually down a pound... Woohoo! Looking forward to week two!!

Hi everyone, I hit play everyday this week and now it's onto week two for the slim and shape plan. I'm a little confused with the diet though... i'm aiming for 1600 cals a day and I did slip a bit this weekend but ended up gaining a half a pound. Now this could be muscle so it's hard to say. But I did lose an inch off my…

Did you get good results with it? It's hard to find reviews from people...

Cardio Axe and High and Tight tonight... looking forward to seeing how difficult high and tight is...
