I hide my scale - put it away where I don't see it. I only really need to make it past the morning because why weigh myself later in the day? So, ya. Hide it. Out of sight out of mind.

You might want to try the Nike Free Run shoes - same idea but not quite as extreme as the Vibrams I think. I got some and my arch pain disappeared!!! First time ever.

Ya ya ya, 17 Day LIFESTYLE CHANGE then.

Potassium is a good point... I will shamelessly bump this until someone helps me!!!

Ok I looked at the last few days of your diary and: 1) stop eating crap. That's about it!!! Cut anything processed OUT! That oughta do it. No one gets skinny eating chocolate bars everyday. Hope that helps!!! Also, you may want to monitor your sodium - try to keep it between 1,000 and 2,500 mg/day (you can't do that while…

Extra Virgin Olive OIl

Oh I had it serving 3! Changed to 4 - these will be big servings! I eat it as a meal though. Calories are 173, 16 g carbs, 20 g protein.

I wear the kind that go up my butt and then I have to check if any cars are coming to pull them out.

Yes definitely doable. Don't eat anything processed and you will get there!

Ooooh I NEED to do this!!!! I've done it before with amazing results and I soooo want to join you!! One problem - I'm headed to Mexico this week and won't be back until next Tuesday. I would LOVE to start then and definitely need an accountability partner!

Maybe Meryl Streep? THIS IS HARD!!!

I just bought some new sneakers - Nike FreeRun (actually they are called Nike MoveFit or something, but same premise) and they have been GREAT!!! NO MORE ARCH PAIN WHEN I RUN!!! They emulate barefeet and are supposed to strengthen your feet muscles to make up for fallen arches. Maybe give that a try!

I think that regardless of who is doing it, there were always be unsupportive people, or diet/workout buddies that stop and then want you to fail as well. Bottom line is, you need to do this for you! Once it stops mattering what everyone else says or does or EATS, then you will really be able to lose the weight and…

It is 3.1 miles. To walk it, it would take about an hour. Just prepare by going for walks - three months is LOTS of time!!!! You'll be so proud of yourself! Good luck!

I bought an air popper! Then it's very few calories and really it's only the butter you have to watch out for. I'm not too sure about oil popped. That's what they use at the movie theatre and it's like 1,000 cals for a small! Yikes!!!!

I quit January this year - using Allen Carr's Easy Way book (so did my husband!), and then I read his Lose Weight Now book and the pounds are droppin' like flies. I luff him.

You look great!!!!

I keep getting excited when I see there's a new post. But then I realize, it's just me.

That's a bummer.

Really? No one?

Just go running with her then, put on your ipod, and do your thing and then if you outrun her, maybe SHE won't want to come with you. I've told my friends that I prefer to run alone because a) I like to listen to music, b) I can't talk and run and c) I don't want to worry about someone else's pace. If she still wants to…

Definitely read this book. It made me quit and understand why you can never smoke again - even a puff!

I eat more pizza than that. But it's ultra thin crust so it's okay.

Ok I'm kind of cheating participating in this thread because I'm doing 30 Day Shred again, not Ripped in 30. Is that ok? Anyways, doing well - have done 4 days out of the last 5. Already feeling stronger!!! I <3 Jillian!

Did it today and took pics and measurements yesterday (*shudder*). Will do it first thing in the morning all week long! :D

If you do 100 pushups/situps/squats a day - you should see great definition. How one can do 100 pushups is beyond me, however. The Jillian Michaels workout dvds are really awesome, quick and result in great definition and strength. There are two minute cardio intervals but nothing crazy - maybe jumping jacks or something…

Meow.

Um in her original post she was speaking about herself "I need to..." "keeps my hunger...." she's not telling anyone what to do. Play nice kitty cats.

I did it yesterday and picked up 30 DS today (I had it but gave it away). I've done both and want to commit to 5 days per week of one or the other! I'm in! And the results from these workouts are really fantastic, for anyone who hasn't done them before :)

And I just realized I was figuring out based on grams not on % of total calories....WAAAAAAAA :(. There has to be an easy way to do this.
