One of the best things you can do is just to move on! Today is just a day and you haven't spoiled all your hard work by any means. This weekend was kind of *kitten* for me in terms of falling into temptation - my plan of action is just to try and make this week awesome with all my workouts and meals!

I want to go parties and have guys all over me... and then turn them all down. Aspiring man-eater? Quite possibly :devil:

Not technically allowed (although I did have some when I had an intense craving o.0) but, for me, I think just a small amount is okay when you're using it for flavoring. I used some in a recipe the other day for chocolate oat bran muffins :)

I actually just finished my attack phase (6 days worth) and it really wasn't that bad at all! I did spend a bunch of time though checking out dukan blogs and the like to try and find recipes. Like others have said, if you're creative with your food it doesn't get too boring! One of my favorite websites I've found so far…

Definitely under.. so it's right over your heart!

I'm on a low-carb diet too! Dukan too be specific actually. Friended ya :)

I'm working up towards my first half! Slowly but surely :P I'm no natural runner.

Good job!! You look amazing :) And oh my gosh.. that fluffy dog!! I want it heheh

I'm looking for more mfp friends too!! I'll add ya

Just finished with my set of exams, so I totally know where you're at. For me, grades are pretty much of utmost importance, so exercise kind of wasn't my priority what so ever. I think as long as you maintain a healthy diet during this time period, you should be fine! Yeah maybe you won't be losing much (or any) weight,…

From Houston, but I go to school in Atlanta! So I've been there most of the year :)

I too have problems with binge eating. For me, it usually happens at night like if I'm bored or can't sleep, and I'll just go into the kitchen and get an incurable desire to eat. Like, what I'm eating isn't even good (tasting) necessarily, and yet I can't stop. It sickens me :( One of the things that I've tried to help me…

bump for later!

You look so beautiful! Congrats on your journey :) ps - LOVE the HP pics!! I was definitely there at midnight both times as well :P

-double post- oops

Amen!

WOW hats off to you! that's simply an amazingg transformation!

When I was doing the 30DS I definitiely wasn't losing any weight (because of all of the muscle you're building), but I was losing inches! So be sure to take your measurements - probably a better indicator of your journey anyway.

Look how loose that shirt is now - awesome!! Congrats and I hope you have a super awesome birthday!!

Ah can't wait to try this!

http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2010/08/recipe-for-grilled-zucchini-pizza.html You have to try this! It may sound kind of weird, but it's SO good, and enough to satisfy any pizza craving. I haven't really seen any of the big round zucchinis around here, so we've just used regular zucchini sliced length-wise and it works out…

1. Nope 2. Yes (only once I stopped eating them back..)

Do realize that there's no law that says you HAVE to eat back your exercise calories. I feel like a lot of people on here are under that mentality, when in reality it does not work for everyone (myself included). So, I say if you're successful right now on your current diet, don't feel like you have to continually eat when…

I think you should definitely keep them in there. Not only is it nice to just have a complete record of what you've eaten that day (at least for me I like having that :P), but since fruit does have carbs and sugars; you're also going to want to track that.

To OP - It's crazy how similar I look to your before pic!! I would kill to look like you know now when I reach my goal weight :) This is awesome inspiration, congrats!!

Not to be the skeptic, but 90 cal for 5 minutes? Get me a shake weight... but really, that seems like a lot. An HRM is gonna be your best bet.

Just finished week 1 and I'm down 1 pound and 1.75 inches! I'll take that :happy:

Wow, I have reallly similar stats (like right to the very inch for a couple) as you before! Thanks for the motivation, you look awesome!!

thanks for the motivation - you look amazing!! awesome pics :smile:

You look amazing!! - voted for you :)
