My father had this same problem on March 5, 2012... the only thing that was different was that he died. He got up to get his dinner out of the microwave, fell to the floor, and just died. Examination after death revealed that he had a blood clot in his leg that had traveled to his heart and killed him instantly. He had no…

totally agree with DanaDark... it's better to take it off slowly and with healthy modifications than to take it off super quick and have all the saggy skin.... i've seen the saggy skin, and it's not a pretty sight! my friend had gastric bypass (which i completely disagree with 100%) and lost 160lbs in like 6-8 months...…

metal x radio! hardcore metal all day long www.metalxradio.com :)

I took classes on weight lifting, aeorobic dance, health, nutrition science, etc. in college... I have always wanted to be a nutritionist, so I took 5 or 6 (can't remember exactly) classes so I could see if I wanted to switch my major. I have done quite a bit of extensive research over the years and I have several friends…

I have studied nutrition a bit, and for most people, this will not work. Your body needs fuel in the morning to start the metabolism... the reason not eating cured your mid-morning hunger is because you stalled your metabolism... your body thinks you're starving and is probably storing everything as fat. You may be losing…

My eating schedule is: breakfast: 7:30am snack: 10am lunch: 12-12:30pm snack: 2:30-3pm dinner: 5:30-6pm snack: 8pm never hungry... eat small meals... keeps the metabolism going and keeps you feeling satisfied all the time.

It has really helped to shrink the fat parts of my body... triceps are shrinking, stomach fat is lessening, and my butt is toning. It is very challenging, but it's only 25 minutes (with warmup and cooldown) and you don't need a bunch of equipment. I love 30DS.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be my siblings sloppy seconds... and, I just don't think it's right to date your sibling's ex.... it crosses a line that should never be crossed no matter how close or distant you are with your brother IMO.

I have been doing 30DS for a month now... but, I'm still on level 2... i don't progress until I am able to do an entire level the way it's supposed to be done without stopping. So... if anyone wants to add me, I do 30DS 4 days/week with 2 days of weight lifting. :)

honestly, i'd be very hurt. while it is understandable that he would want to spend time with his family, YOU are part of that family and he should include you in everything. it sounds like he's just not that into you anymore, which is a huge problem. i believe that my birthday is my own personal holiday... i feel that i'm…

I was using splenda, but i have heard that splenda is just as bad as the other artificial sweeteners. here is my advice: either 1) keep the sugar and just cut down on it.... regular sugar is better for you than artificial sweetener. both are actually not great, but if you had to pick one or the other, go with sugar. OR 2)…

coffee junkie here... i drink my coffee everyday with fat free or 1% milk and stevia added to it (if I want a treat, i use natural bliss sweet cream creamer... it's freakin awesome). stevia is NOT my favorite... i prefer splenda, but i have heard that it's worse for you than sugar because it causes you to retain belly fat.…

AMEN!!!! :)

you look so much younger! great job!!

I am envious of your ability to even talk to your mom (or write to your mom) about your issues... if I had to write a letter to my mom, it would say something like: "please stop calling me worthless. please stop trying to control my life and telling me how to raise my daughter. please stop the passive aggressive behavior…

My advice (from someone who has been in this situation): if he's not willing to give you 100%, then you are guaranteed to get hurt in some aspect. What if you start to really fall for him and want him all to yourself, but he's not willing to give up this other girl? What if this other girl finds out and gets hurt... can…

Currently on Day 12 of 30DS... started Level 2 last night and it whooped my tail! I have noticed a change in my body.. major toning going on here :) The videos are very challenging, but the pride you feel when you finish is outstanding!

I'm glad he's gone... more than you could ever know! The best thing, tho, was that I had ran into him last weekend and it was the first time he's seen me in quite a while. He looked at me... smiled... gave me the "slow" once over.... looked me square in the eyes and said "hot". I looked him square in the eyes and said "not…

When my ex-husband and I were in Wal-Mart shopping for clothes for my 3-month-old daughter.... I was going to go down an aisle but saw it was blocked... so, I started backing up to get back out of the aisle. He started saying "beep beep beep" (that noise that big trucks make when they back up) and then yelled "watch out,…

I'm on Day 12 and still using 3lb weights... I would probably have a stroke if I moved up to 5lbs right now. But, everyone is different. I'd start out with 3lbs and, if it's not enough of a challenge, move up to 5lbs. You don't want to start too heavy and not be able to do it... that causes people to become discouraged.…

It's not going to hurt you too much if you take another day off. My advice is to push through it, but if you're hurting excessively or feeling ill, I'd take the day off.

This right here is the perfect man... OMG he is amazing! :)

Definite Potassium Deficiency.... check this site out... it has high potassium foods in easy measured portions :) http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/potassium-foods.htm

I gain 5-7lbs each month during that "time" of the month. Also, I retain water if I overwork myself or if I have too much sodium. This is why I don't weigh myself very often (once a month AFTER that time of the month so the water weight is gone). Don't sweat it... bodies naturally fluctuate weight and can actually…

I have a supervisor that is an amazing baker, and she bakes treats for us all the time. She expects us to eat them or she is offended. At first, I was eating them. But now, I just avoid it at all costs! I try to stay in my little corner of the world so that I don't run into her or the treats. Also, I make sure I have my 6…

Awesome! I wish I could have that many dogs!

We have 2 boxers: Abbott and Joe

I started 30DS on 6/13 and have been doing it since... it has absolutely killed me, but I love it. Jillian is a beast! I will definitely keep up with this thread and post some pics :)

Jealous of your fritters.... proud of your awesome attitude! :)
