It sucks, but maybe it's different depending on where you are. I live in New Jersey, so I go to the beaches here. Trust me, there are a lot of women who have a hell of a lot of confidence in a bikini, tankini, one piece, whatever, and they don't have super model bodies. I'm one of them. I want to get my tan on, and…

1 Can of Tuna in Water is 33g of Protein and 150cals. Eggs are a good source of protein as well. Any meat really... unless you don't eat meat. I drink protein shakes generally in the morning or after a work out. Each one has a different protein count. Do some research. www.bodybuilding.com has a big selection of protein…

I actually use almond milk as a replacement for 1/2 and 1/2. It's a lighter taste, and honestly I just use it to cool the coffee down enough for me to drink it. Adds a good flavor though. I generally use the unsweetened, but the sweetened is a great, sweet drink that's only 90 calories. You can buy vegan cheeses too, but…

Some days I do, some days I don't. It really depends how I feel and how big of a lunch I had. Sometimes after I exercise I have no appetite whatsoever.

My favorite game to play is weight myself, poop, weigh myself again. Sometimes you can lose quite a few pounds doing it! Sometimes I try to guess the poop weight too. I know, I'm sick. I just love toilet humor. And this thread attracted me because I wanted to know what fluffy poop was.

Born and raised in Millville, NJ. Now live in West Deptford, NJ. Can't bear to leave the ambiance of Southern New Jersey :)

Fiber, Black Coffee, and water fixed that for me. I take the vitagummies fiber supplements if I feel a bit bloated to help it get moving along.

When I lost a lot of weight two years ago, my doctor said "You look amazing and I'm very glad you dropped the weight you needed to drop. But be careful, because a lot of times friends and family will become jealous and want to sabotage you!" I definitely did not have a bad reaction from my family, but my friends would find…

I enjoy some vodka with a low-calorie mixer. I cannot drink red wine because no matter how little I have, it gives me a horrendous headache. White wine does not do that to me...

Thank you for all of the advice. There is quite a bit I need to ask the doc on Tuesday. I think it would answer quite a few questions about my health in general, honestly.

My dad once told me that you'll find love when you least expect it and when you aren't looking for it. That's exactly what happened for me, so focus on you and the love will come on it's own. :)

If you right click and hit view picture in new tab you can see them... But awesome job! I'm one week into 30DS and it's kicking my butt. I hope to see great results like you! I tried level 2 today, but think I may do a few more days of level 1, haha.

Melba toast, sandwiches, hotdogs, on and on, it's so delicious.... You can also melt some wedges in a bowl in the microwave and use it as a low calorie alfredo sauce as well. Or as a veggie dip.

I log into MFP all the time whenever I have a chance. I have no idea why, but I have the app on my iPhone, iPad, and when I'm home I use my computer. I find it to be a much less stressful environment if that makes sense because there really isn't a bunch of BS on this site like there can be on FB. I go onto FB maybe once a…

Sounds delicious! I will definitely have to try it!

That's awesome! I just started 30DS a few days ago. I have similar measurement as your originals. Makes me hopeful!

I'm guessing because of all the salt in the pickle juice... the bottom end. I'm thinking of it being similar to a salt water flush.

I purchased it on Tuesday and tried it and failed initially (super tired I guess?). Then I tried again Wednesday and made it through. I was so sore I could barely function. I just finished my third full run today and it's definitely getting better. She is tough, but the fact that it's only 20 minutes gives the busier…

Thank you for the information! I am going on Tuesday so I will definitely tell her to check my thyroid. I know my sister has an issue with her thyroid, but I'm not sure if it is hereditary or not. The quiche sounds delicious!

In my opinion wine does a lot more for me than beer. I can have a 12oz can of beer and not even know I drank any alcohol. If I have 12oz of wine... well I start feeling more friendly towards people.

Hahaha this is awesome and so true. It's my favorite time to weight myself because all that alcohol dehydrated me and took away some water weight. Butttt... it comes back after you pound a ton of water, coffee, and aspirin to get rid of the horrendous headache.

I love cheese a lot too! I've never really had an issue with dairy that I've noticed... so hopefully I can continue to eat my cheeses. So far so good!

Thank you for all of the responses. I am hoping that I am actually onto something. I would rather have to change my eating habits than take medication for it. In my opinion (I hate taking medicine and did not do well on Lorazepam), it will be easier for me to knock certain foods out than having to take medication everyday.

I honestly lost weight at a time when I was drinking quite often. I did stick to certain alcohols though with the OCCASIONAL beer. I mainly drank vodka and tequila (some good nights...). I do not drink that often anymore, but the one thing I did try to watch no matter what I was drinking is the drunk munchies. Those kill…

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. If I don't have to pay to get a test done, I'm good with that!

Jillian Michael's 30DS ($10 at Target) is great, because you don't need a ton of space to do it. If you've got some more space maybe look into Insanity or P90X if it's in your budget (I think they are really expensive, but I'm a poor college student). Also I just got the Piloxing video which is pretty fun, but it's an hour…

I've lost a lot of weight without exercising in the past. The problem is that it looks... sloppy, I guess. That's what my friend and I determined when we put on bikinis after losing weight. There's not a lot of definition, but you look skinnier. I would rather have some toned muscles, so that's why this time I've chosen a…

Alcohol is interesting for me now that I've developed the anxiety issues. Sometimes I will be fine and it'll be like any night of drinking. Other times I will freak out the next day because I keep thinking I forgot the night. This is a new thing for me, so I haven't really been drinking, though it was at one point in my…

I have done this approach in the past and have seen great results. But alas, when I get stressed, I go for carbs. I am once again going high protein/low carb. I try to stick to between 60-80g of net carbs per day and eat a lot of fiber... because if you don't do it right, you can become VERY constipated... which happened…

That is my exact goal! (well.. add 2 pounds) SW: 182 GW: 140
