Thanks everyone!!!!

My trainer recommends liquor and diet drinks or vodka and sugar free red bull. :) I really like the vodka and sugar free red bull.

I try to eat a pickle if I'm craving something salty because it is hardly any cal! If sweet I eat a jello. This doesn't always work for me but I don't have much will power.

13-eaux!!!!!!!!!

I just got a personal trainer and at first he told me to be taking in 100g of protein and 25g of fiber. You need to take 1/4 of your protein and use that number to determine your g in fiber. I couldn't do it. I felt like I was constantly shoving protein down my throat. I was so grossed out by all of it, I didn't diet for a…

Ditto nolachick! That game was way intense!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAT! Awesome game! So excited for them!

Thank you very much! And I've been struggling for a very long time also. I just started with a personal trainer and he has me on a 1200 cal diet eating 100g of protein and 25g of fiber a day and I think I can see a difference! He says it will lean me up fairly quick. Maybe you can try and it will work for you! I just…

I wasn't rude until she continuously tried to argue with my when I gave my opinion about the question. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and if that is what works for me I don't believe she had a right to try to discredit me from the beginning.

Well actually I didn't start my ticker until I got to 150, but I started at 155. Does 15 lbs make my advice any better? And just so you know when you actually get down to a healthy weight range, it is EXTREMELY hard to lose so my 10 lbs is a pretty great accomplishment.

I just wanted to tell you that I was giving my opinion based on what I have experienced. That is wonderful that you have lost 35 lbs, and I'm sure that this person appreciates your advice along with mine. That was all I was saying in my previous post!

Congrat's for your loss!

haha I love that thing! It's SOOOO hard though!

Like I said earlier. When I do go over my calories I try to work off the extra calories by exercising; however, I do believe it will slow down the weight loss if you eat back your exercise calories everyday. Finish logging your calories without eating back your exercise calories and on your home page there will be a…

Imagine what their weight loss would be if the hadn't eaten back their calories. I'm not arguing it doesn't work. I just think it slows down the process.

I try to burn my calories when I over eat but if I can help it I definitely DO NOT eat them back. For instance today I ate 1450 so I went to the gym and did the elliptical until I burned 250.

I disagree with this. It is proven that the only way you will lose weight is if you burn more calories than you eat so it will ultimately slow down your weight loss. You will still lose but I don't believe it aids your weight loss.

I suggest Smart Ones. They taste the best in my opinion! Here's a list of my faves. Creamy Rigatoni with Chicken and Broccoli Enchilade Suiza Shrimp Marinara Macaroni and Cheese The Lean Cuisine paninis are all good and the pizzas of every brand are great! I actually feel like I'm eating "real" food when I eat the pizzas.…

I think that's the best way! It's already portioned out for you and the first time I dieted I used e-diets where they had an option to do all frozen food. They just add in green beans, salad, fruit, etc to them. I lost 15 lbs fast that way!

I was back down to my pre-weekend weight this morning! :) 144.2............ I have only gone one day without cheating but I'm already so tired of being hungry. How is everyone else doing?

I wish I was feeling as great as you ladies. :frown: I completed W3D1 tonight and I hated every minute of it haha. I did complete it though! It wasn't too hard. Hopefully it will get even easier for me and I can really enjoy it. Right now I'm feeling doubtful.

I think it is pretty much just what is good for you. Running is going to put some muscle on you, but I wouldn't say it's the worst. No matter what work out you do or how much you do it, the only key to losing weight is burning more calories that you take in. I don't know why some people eat back their work out calories you…

I'm all for changing weigh in day to Friday haha! I cheat on the weekends and I think a lot of us are still carrying around water weight from eating/drinking bad. If everyone wants to keep weigh in day Monday then that's fine too. What do ya'll think?

I'm making a new feed for Week 1 weigh ins. Sorry so late in the day.

I start week 3 tomorrow and I'm SO nervous about the 3 minute run. I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I am eager to find out!

I did my last day of Week 2. I'm going to walk/run the bridge tomorrow with hubby. It's a little under 3.5 miles... We'll see how it goes!

My aunts ran a half marathon last year and they were told to a running shoe store and get fitted for the correct shoe for their feet. Maybe you could call around to some sporting good stores and ask if they do that.
