ABSOLUTELY.

Seems good to me? You'll be active most days of the week; it certainly won't HURT I'd imagine :)

Tried them for a while and one night when I was "coming down" (because they ARE stimulating) I was sobbing in my bed and really thought I was either having a mental breakdown OR dying. Stopped taking them after that. It really was a scary experience, and I'm not one to get 'scared' of things like that easily. Basically, I…

you look great!

I'm totally fine going dutch/paying for both of us on later dates (and I do this in my current relationship) BUT when a guy asks you out for the first time, I find it MUCH more impressive/thoughtful when he pays. If I were to ask someone out for the first time, I'd assume I'm the one paying.

I wouldn't see why not!

You look awesome!!! I'm 5'3" and currently 158... so seeing you at 143 gives me something to look forward to! Seriously, you look great.

ha! I know exactly what you're talking about, and that's awesome! Congrats!

I've been toying with the idea of running a 10k in May... this could be the perfect jump-start to my training.

I'm 23, and definitely up for some friends :)

You look awesome!

Did it

I'm going to bump because I've been noticing a similar thing. For me, I assumed it was other factors, but I'd like to hear other explanations/experiences!

23 years old 5'3" SW - 175 CW - 164 (up 4 pounds :( ) Goal - 120 Anyone?

You look great!

EXACTLY! I'm in :)

I'll echo everyone else who has been saying squats and lunges! I've been trying to build up my booty (like, putting in actual, regular effort) for only a few months and I can already see that my butt is bigger and rounder! I love it!

Not QUITE chips, but I found that dipping mushrooms and sliced bell peppers in hummus gives the same sort of satisfaction as munching on some potato chips :)

Honestly, I'd think about trying the 30 Day Shred because I notice a difference in my body quite quickly when I do it :) Exercise is key, because even if you aren't losing a bunch of weight, you'll look/feel "tighter" and it'll make it easier for you to let go and enjoy the (beautiful, BEAUTIFUL) beach.

Oh! While I'm being honest, I might as well admit that I want to be thinner than two of my friends in particular. One used to be about the same size as me, but has become very active and looks great! I don't want to be the 'fat one'! I also had a group of girlfriends in high school who were all very, very thin. One of them…

One time, through some covert and semi-dishonest snooping on my part (I know, I know :embarassed: ) I found a conversation in which the boy I'd been sleeping with off and on for almost a year and a half said I was okay, but he preferred someone he could 'throw around'. I've since come to my senses and realized the guy's an…

Awesome! I've been wanting to make healthy Indian food for quite a while. I'll have to remember this!

Boxing workouts while sitting could be a good way to get cardio. Also, you could use this time to work on abs/upper body strength training - anything that doesn't strain the lower body (like crunches) is still on the table! You could even create a sort of mini-circuit, and if you're able to switch exercises fast enough you…

I second Jillian Michaels! I *love* the 30 Day Shred, and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism is a great cardio workout too. I've found it useful to make a YouTube or iTunes playlist to have on after the first few times so that you have your own music and you don't have to listen to the same thing day after day after day, which is…

I do sometimes, and I'd recommend at least trying it a few times because occasionally I'll see that my binge really wasn't the end of the world, or that it was really one or two choice items that messed me up for the day, or how well I would have done WITHOUT the binge, so it can be a valuable learning experience. BUT I…
