Saw it on 60 minutes. Love it!

Pickles!

That's awesome!

It's water weight. Be patient (I know that's hard when your working you tail end off). :smile:

Be healthy and take care!

Whew! Thanks!

Make sure you stretch a lot before and after. As for today, If it's not a "good sore" I would just go for a long walk and pick it back up tomorrow.

Just awesome!

Wow great plan! Good luck to you and add me if you want! :smile:

What's nice about the machines is they'll tell you your heart rate. It's harder to slack on them. You can end up just going through the motions in a class after awhile. However, I love the human interaction of the classes. So I don't know, I'll be unhelpful and say both are good for you.

Ditch the harsh browns or the pancakes, pick which one you really want. If pancakes get the butter on the side and dip them into the syrup, to save calories. Tell them to go easy on the cheese in the eggs. Save where you can, because diners love their grease. That's my two cents.

The first week of my diet I was complete grouch. Thankfully I have an amazing husband.

If your gym has classes take advantage of them! Don't be afraid to stop and pause in the middle of them either. It took me awhile to build up enough strength and stamina, but I'm so glad I kept with it. Good luck!

I say I'm 5ft, but that may be stretching it a bit. :-)

Definitely right about that cutting out food groups part. Best of luck to you!

Plan a late night snack into your day.

Welcome! It's a great site!

Looked at your diary, think it's time to get some more veggies in the diet and add sodium so you can keep an eye on it. Also make sure your body has time to recover from workouts. Hope that helps.

Try to find someone to he can look up to like another athlete at the school, a trainer, a friend who's a body builder. If a peer tells him the same things it will suddenly be cool. Also, avoid saying I told you so. Instead ask him questions about it and let him tell you how it is. Guys and showing off...sigh. Good luck.

popcorn instead of potato chips berries and 2 tbsp reduced fat whip cream instead of ice cream

Welcome! You'll love the people here!

Learn to make a couple basic stir-frys. Quick, inexpensive and it helps get the veggies in. Beware buying tons of processed food. They are full of sodium and hidden chemicals. A little is fine, but learning to cook a few things from semi-scratch will really help. My diary's open, feel free to look for a few things that…

If they're not ready, they're not ready. Sometimes you just need to step back and give it time.

If your gym has classes definitely check those out!

Make sure you apply and let it set before you start running/walking. Aveeno and Neutrogena work well. Banana Boat makes one two that work really well, but it felt heavy in my opinion.

As long as you don't feel hungry, I say yes. It's fine to skip them.

The more the merrier! And 30 lbs, THAT'S AWESOME!

Coke Zero?

In addition to what others have said add some TIME. Also take measurements, to see what else is changing.

Hi Sami! There are lost of recipes posted on here all the time. My favorite website is skinny taste. It's not to complicated and I've found you can substitute things pretty easy. Feel free to add me if you want and good luck with your journey!
