I measure every other Monday and weight myself once a month "officially" but I also always sneak a peek when i do my measurements :) I've found it's really boosted me to see my size progress without seeing the scale and when you only weight once every 2 weeks you are bound to see SOME loss... last time I was super excited…

. this literally made me LOL...i feel the sammmeeee way- what belongs under there anyways?!

thats true for me too!!! ...and thats why we are MFPers LOL

you look pretty... lose the sweater and add some higher heels (without a strap as it cuts off your legs and makes them look shorter- i have little bitty short legs so i have learned this lil trick) :p

i didn't think about this... theyre right- sometimes if my stomach is hungry drinking cold water will make me even hungrier. drinking hot tea or some of the "diet hot chocolate" (oh yeh! 25 calories!) helps ease any hunger i'm feeling :)

just like everyone else says-- drink lots of water throughout the day... but also- to be honest- when i'm hungry i go walk up and down stairs for 25 mins-- it burns about 250 calories-- then i can eat a healthy choice meal or something lol... i just add in some extra exercise so i can eat!! LOL u should never have to be…

today i noticed that i let jillian michaels kick my *kitten* even when i don wanna get outta bed.... and THAT is why im wearing preprego pants and on my way to smaller!

i'm on day 7 of level 2...i did level 1 for 10 days and then took a 1 day break. i also run for 25 mins 4 days a week. my 1st 2 weeks i gained weight : / booo... but then all of a sudden at week 3 i weighed and have lost 3 lbs... that being said, in the last 2 weeks i've lost 4.2 inches total! so i'd say jillian is doing…

im eatin a "snack pack" of white cheddar now... they make the white cheddar and monterey jack in a box of "snack packs" and each baggy is 180 calories...it curbs my "salty" desire (plus i have always loved cheezits!) and actually ease any hunger i'm feeling between meals! YUMMY!

i think it also depends on you... have you changed? has your idea of "healthy" changed? have you decided that having a body like your friends is not necessarily your goal? maybe you have fitness goals? maybe you have health goals? maybe you have size goals for yourself? maybe this has become more about how you see you than…

Thank you to everybody... I know i should be strong and just "know" that I'm doing whats best for me...but hey, if we were all like that then what good would this site be?? Thanks for the support and motivation !!!

i've lots 12 lbs total since i started...i can now pull my pants down without unbuttoning them but the next size down will barely button at all (whats THAT about??..anyways) ... i can't tell a difference-- clearly there must be one, but i surely dont see it

I think that usually for women its all about feeling better about who we are...building our sense of self-- and often times for a woman you feel better about yourself when you are happy with your appearance. personally i'm more goal oriented and tend to feel better about myself when i accomplish things, so for me its about…

congrats and happy bday! your face looks like a whole different man-- wonderful job!

oohhh... ok- go to www.skinnytaste.com... they do "alternates" to lots of good fried foods on there... i've done their onion rings, fried shrimp, chicken strips, etc and its all YUMMY!!! (plus lots of other yummy recipes)

i actually do a little of both... about 45 min before i have something small but with a little of everything i need like a 1/2 a pb sandwhich or a fiber one bar of some wheat thins and hummus... then i workout... then i usually have an orange or apple immediately after to kinda put some good sugars in my body (sometimes…

great job! i'm learning to run as well- i felt like i was making great progress until i went on a "run" with someone who really can "run"-- i learned really quickly that i HAVE to pace myself!! best of luck to you-- Today i start my 5 min run with 2 min walk intervals-- feeling nervous! :)

i think it also depends how much weight you have to lose... i only have about 30 lbs to lose and so my weight fluctuates especially depending on how much weight lifting i do. i began obsessing over a .2 lb gain or no loss even if i weighed only once a week. so, i decided i'd start doing measurements once a week and…

we are right around the same age and goals :) good luck!

*WOO HOO* you look phenomenal! congrats :D

welcome :) feel free to add me as a friend if you want some motivation :D

i was just gonna honor the excuses i made and not say anything, but i'm glad u did :)

u sound busssyyyy :) on my lunch break i used to sit and read or actually eat my lunch (now i eat for about 5 min in front of my computer at my desk) :p then i realized that i could be working out...then i though "gross, who wants to get sweaty and go back to work"...but as the musles tone up and my belly gets flatter i…

bahahaha... such conflicting information ..i'll stick with sendentary and i'll also eat back my exercise calories as i plan to be able to live this life style forever and i'm thinking that 1200 calories a day and burning 400-500 additional calories would leave me feeling pretty crappy... thanks to everyone :)

i can NEVER do a full set of the "side lunges with lateral raises" in level 1... i'm 8 days in and i STILL have to take a break... my favorite is anything abs... oh, and i love how the jumping jacks feel AFTER the side lunges with lateral raises

i do... LOL and it sucks :p

thanks everyone...and i'm trying to pay attention to things like body fat percentage... i actually just put my scale up this morning..i put it all the way up in the top back of my closet so that i have to bring in a chair from the kitchen to get it LOL i am going to weight the 1st of every month and do my measurements…

Glad i could help... my trainer at work told me to try to watch my body fat more than my bmi or my weight and id have a better measurement of how healthy i actually am... she showed me this site that way i woudn't have unrealistic expectations about what my weight should be :) best of luck to u!
