I once lost 10lbs in 7 days, working out 4 days 60min/day, and eating 1500/cals, but for the most part it was water weight from the drastic drop in my sodium intake (I pack on water like a camel). If the OP is female and was packing on some water weight from period bloat or just sodium water weight I can see how this is…

Dear Lady at McDonalds that made my coffee, I realize that your job is stressful and busy, I understand that sometimes things slip. But for the past 3 days I have asked at the little voice box thing for my coffee to contain 2 splendas and 1 cream. I learned not to long ago that you don't hand that stuff out through the…

Oh I totally will! I think 20 is about all I can do in one sitting (will shoot for 40-50) but if I break it up over a day I can get them all done!

Question: I can't do 100 crunches in a row. Is it ok to split up the amount to do during the day as long as you finish them?

LETS DO THIS! I am in! :D

Cthulu is a creature created by HP Lovecraft that, if you utter his name to many times, will rise from the Ocean and destroy the world. Moradin was his Dungeons and Dragons Character name. Though the character was very noble :D

8 years into our relationship and my husband and I have FINALLY narrowed down 2 boys names that we both agree on. I to believe Moradin and Cthulu were both on his list till I nixed them. Girls names are going to be tough though, we are still bickering about them lol. Thank God we have a few more years till we start trying.…

I am so joining this group! My starting weight will reflect what I was weighed in at yesterday 11/21/11 SW (11/26/11) 264.2 lbs Week 2 (12/03/11) xxx lbs Week 3 (12/10/11) xxx lbs Week 4 (12/17/11) xxx lbs Week 5 (12/24/11) xxx lbs goal = 256.2 Week 6 (12/31/11) xxx lbs Week 7 (1/7/12) xxx lbs Week 8 (1/14/12) xxx lbs Week…

Don't Give Up! Period Bloat is the absolute WORST. I gain in upwards of 10-15lbs of water weight for almost a solid week. Rules I follow during period week. 1. Don't weigh yourself 2. Eat less salt, I don't salt hardly anything during that week. 3. Go for an extra walk a day (even if it is a slow walk for 10-15min, just…

Honestly I don't know anyone that has ever asked me anything like that (I am lucky). When I go out to eat with family and friends, when I am dieting, they ask if a certain restaruaunt is ok for me to eat at, or if I can find something there to stick to my diet. People need to mind their own business though, you are taking…

@Monkeybusiness, I am also doing the lean version, Core Synergistics was fun but hard! Were you able to do the push up, go onto one hand, lock ankles and reach without falling over? I totally fell over lol.

I agree with everyone else, even when I have a head cold (or a sinus infection which I get often) I still get up and at least take my dogs for a walk. I always tell myself "15minutes of walking and you can stop" But I usually end up feeling a bit better and walking longer. Just pay attention to your body, it will tell you…

I'm in! I will update this afternoon :D

These all sound delicious! Thank you ! :D

I hate shin splints so much! I get them often and they suck majorly. I am normally out of commission for running, jogging and walking for about a week. Like the posters above me said, rest will make them better and do upper body or swimming workouts during your rest period. <3 Hope they get to feeling better!

Going from 2 days a week to 3 days a week exercise :) Whats the insanity program?

I suffer from low iron too, here are a few things I found that have quite a bit of Iron in them and taste good too! Raisins Grape Nuts (I try to eat a bowl every morning and it helps significantly) Tuna Fish Rice (White or brown) Spinach Peas Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans Artichokes

Cheese like Feta, shredded Colby, mozzarella and pepper jack. That can ad just enough zing to keep a boring salad kinda spicy! I love to use Olive Oil and Red Wine Vinegar mixed together. Olives, Green or Black. Cooked and cooled spaghetti squash. Gives it a bit of a different texture. Chopped up bits of fish and chicken.…

I have been craving spicy lately too! I now put tabasco sauce in my eggs, tuna salad, egg salad and sometimes in oatmeal. I have been making Cajun Baked Fish too My sweets craving has gone down to almost nothing and splenda based foods or sprinkled on something gets me through the worst. I am craving raw veggies I can't…

Tazo - Passion Twinnings - Prince of Wales Jasmine Dragon Pearl Blossom Tea (can be found here http://www.teavana.com/the-teas/green-teas/p/jasmine-dragon-phoenix-pearls-green-tea) Beware that site is addictive!

I am completely addicted to this site, true story. I love the recipes, I love making new friends, I love the encouragement and the motivation I get from coming here. I am still on FB a lot, but now when I get home from work instead of logging into FB to chat I log into MFP to update, look up stuff, respond to friends posts…

I third Christina Hendricks! Unfortunately I have little to no boobies so that one is not realistic for me, although I do have the butt, mmmhmmm. Beyonce has a banging body (also the boobs are unrealistic for me), or Lady Gaga, that dancers physique has always had me jealous and her boobs are about like mine.

That seriously happened to me last week, between working over time, birthday parties, batcheloret parties, something to do every single night after working full time I was like "I am not going to the gym" Then the weekend came, I slacked, then this week I really didn't want to go anywhere. I just got out of it yesterday,…

Drinking water on an empty stomach is the number 1 cause of acid reflux for me, followed closely by excessive coffee on an empty stomach, I start to get sick or nauseous too. Keep some Tums with you or a banana or granola bar. Drink slowly, make that 32oz water last a while. <3

I weighed myself yesterday but wasn't able to post because I was at a rock concert!!!! Week 2 - 264lbs (I went up, its my girl time of the month, I have been known to retain as much as 15lbs in water weight during this time so I am not discouraged. It will be much better next week)

I love to get Grapes Carrots Yogurt (whatever is on sale and low cal lol) Apples Special K Granola Bars Cherry tomatoes Green Bell Peppers (I slice them long and eat them raw) Fresh green beans, not cooked just cleaned, they are delish raw Those little round cheese wheels babyel or something, I eat them spread over…

My secret is to pretend that coconut shavings are in them, I hate coconut shavings and it makes me go Ewwwwweeee every time! <3

I have a horrible feeling that this will happen to me tonight. I am going out for Sushi, our one night a month girls thing. I can eat so much of it, seriously its silly. I have totally eaten to the point of puking before, it was embarrassing and just not good :(

I told my coworker first and asked her that if she did bring in treats to please not offer me any. I am the type that once I get into snacking mode it is very hard for me to draw the line. She has been excellent too! One day she brought home made chicken salad for me, had already counted the calories and portioned it out…
