Oh man I was looking at those Starburst jelly beans... so delicious...

Just workout your whole body, both cardio and strength training. Cardio helps you burn fat, and strength training helps you build muscle which in turn helps you burn more fat. My love handles go away when they want to. I stopped doing the "magic exercises" from the magazines. If you do an overall good workout they will go…

DEFINITELY. Nice job! I hope to be able to do that as well. :)

I'd have a steak... and of course some wine!
-
Oh man... that weather is amazing... Think I may have to go pick up a few tonight and a bottle of Jim. (Affordable)

Sometimes I just eat peanut butter right off the spoon... but I have a sick addiction to it. :embarassed: However, I will say... one or two tbsps takes my hunger away. I mean with time the cravings go away, anyway.

Protein milkshakes! 1 cup Almond Coconut Milk (Unsweetened) 1 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder (I use EAS Whey Protein Vanilla, 3g Carbs) 2 TBSP Walton Farms 0 Calorie, 0 Carb Chocolate syrup Blend and enjoy. You can add ice too, but I usually drink it without. It really tricks me into thinking I'm having a real milkshake…

I partially agree. Yes, you should take the advice from people who have had success, but honestly there are a lot of nasty posts that pop up on here that completely bash what has worked for others. I think the point is to listen to your body and don't take everything (anything) you see on the internet as pure fact. If I…

Congrats on that! I don't think you've lost too fast... I've lost 20 in a month when I first went low carb two years ago for a fatty liver, and my doctor said it would happen. Fast forward to today... I've lost about 5 pounds in the last two weeks after finding out I was intolerant to gluten. I contribute it to water…

I am 179.5 right now. I'd like to get to 157. That would be 10 pounds less than last summer. :)

^^MMMMM Also sometimes I like to have cheese. One serving of Cracker Barrel cheese is 90 calories (make sure you measure the cheese you're cutting!). Peanut Butter and Apples Peanut Butter and BANANAS (depending on how many cals we're talking) Sometimes I'll even have a protein shake with 0 cal chocolate syrup in it...…

This is exactly what I started doing. I'm not a huge fan of the GF replacement products because I feel they are loaded with other stuff. So instead, I just don't eat bread and pasta. Also what somebody else said, look at a recipe and make it GF. There are also many websites that have GF recipes, and if you have an iPhone…

Is it normal for you to exercise? I know for me it wasn't and the first few weeks I was exercising the scale didn't move, but I lost inches. Think of it this way, smaller inches means smaller, better fitting clothes. The scale will mess with your head!!! Also when you start a new exercise routine, your muscles may retain…

I always go over on those three as well. Protein especially, but I love protein shakes because they curb my cravings for chocolate milkshakes. Fiber is great to go over, just make sure you drink a lot of water. Also make sure you're used to the fiber! My boyfriend decided one day to eat 2 Fiber One bars for lunch after…

Spinach always makes me go. I used to suffer from severe constipation issues... (really high fever, very sick to my stomach, etc.) So I took some magnesium citrate which will literally... well don't leave the vicinity of a toilet. Last time I ever wanted to be constipated. Anyway, CHEESE binds me up bad, so if I have…
-
It's true. It's good for those that are intolerant, and much easier to shop for when it says GLUTEN FREE right on the front instead of having to read all of the ingredients (though I still do to see what other fun things they threw in there.) I do agree on the coke thing... I mean I love it when they say there is aspartame…
-
I wouldn't say I feel less confident... I would say I don't feel as comfortable, especially at bars and such. It is also eye opening when people start talking trash on "fat" people that look like you once did. I felt more comfortable wearing my hoodie and sweatpants everywhere! It could also be that once you lose weight,…

Have you ever had a poop and the lettuce is floating to the top of the toilet? PS: I love all of the women talking about pooping on here, it makes me feel less weird when I openly joke about pooping to my friends. A lot of guys think it's crazy for a girl to talk about poop. "Girls don't poop." And I always say: "Well I…

I weigh in naked as well! I also think wet hair will add to the scale, so I make sure it's before my shower. I also like to do it first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom and before I eat or drink anything.

Since about 12 years old, I've had large thighs. When I was little, I had "chicken legs" as my grandfather used to say. Currently at the largest area they are 25" and I'm 5'6". I'd like to see them go down, but I'd rather have some muscle meat on my thighs. I mean, my legs are strong... Last time I did the leg press I did…
-
Oh, yeah, I can see that being an issue. Is it easy to cancel? If I were you I'd look on Amazon to see what deals they have. I don't know what stores you guys have over there!
-
Wow, lots of attacks on this post... I personally feel better off of most carbs, but I also have a gluten intolerance. I also cannot lose weight while eating an abundance of carbs, even staying under my calories and exercising every day. When I lower them, I do better. I don't think the OP was trying to tell anybody what…

I like her 30DS, but I purchased it at Target for $10. I never signed up for her website, because I thought $4 a week was too much. Her DVDs are not expensive, and Amazon also sells them for a good price as well... so I can't give you advice on her site, but I can tell you the DVDs are a great price and well worth it.

My plateaus last anywhere from a few weeks to over a month. I find it harder during the Winter months and easier during the warmer months (probably because I want to actually leave my house). I also stop obsessively weighing myself for a while and then get a surprise when I do.

My attitude is that something is going to kill me eventually, whether it be getting into a fatal car accident on my way to work, getting shot walking to my car, smoking, or eating steaks. If I live my life in fear, there's no reason to even leave my house, because something could kill me. I had bacon today and it was…

I try to stick with over 64oz a day, but I am also on Depo-provera, and the more water you take in, the less likely you are to retain it... I know it sounds counterproductive, but increasing my water intake started my weight loss off good. Also, I feel like crap if I don't drink enough water now because my body is so used…
-
Haha, sadly, I used to drink a lot. I was losing weight until I discovered how delicious foot long cheesesteaks were at 3AM and that's what ultimately made me gain weight... drink every night and eat one of those and it's bad news. But other than that, I have no problem when I drink regularly as long as I'm careful with…
-
Well, I know for me if I eat a lot of carbs, I stall on weight loss, in fact I gain. Try upping your protein a bit, and definitely your calories... Also, you have 12 lbs to lose. Remember, initially if you're heavy, you will lose those first pounds FAST... but then it slows down. What works for me is eating MORE veggies,…

Yeah... I'm a DD... they don't work that well for me. I even went to a bridal shop to be fitted for them and they were very uncomfortable and wore out about 2 hours in. Luckily the dress was tight enough to keep them tame.
