How is everyone making out?

OK, I am in. My weakness in the summer time is that I crave junk food. I love going to the shore and fried cheesecake is not my friend. Tasty, but not my friend. I have cut down on fruits but I could do better with that. My kids love fruit which is a good thing, but since my exercise level isn't where there's is I need to…

I don't find that any one exercise gets rid of the fat there. For me it gradually goes down as I lose.

Try things that include more vegetable not as much carbohydrates. I don't believe that carbs are bad, but many do contain more sugar that you might think and limiting them should help you reach your goal. Also nice lean meat is always good and some whole grains think fiber are options.

@ akiss4u2tam Way to go on getting hubby to go to the gym with you. I have been trying to figure out how to do this. We have two little kids and our schedules just don't seem conducive this this. Once the weather breaks. I definitely plan on trying walking as a family some evenings.

The taste to carb ratio isn't worth it to me.

To the above poster that doesn't sound like too much sugar if that's your only source. SW: 235 CW: 228 GW: 195 I am down a total of 7 lbs. (I couldn't remember when we are supposed to weigh). I am excited about the 7 lbs but I do know that some of it is definitely water weight.

Thanks for the suggestion. Years ago I was a vegetarian. I am now a meat eater, but I definitely want to try different veggies. My goal is to eat more things that are in season.

Oh I am in SW 235 CW 235 GW 195 My NSV: 1. be able to get into the clothes that I wore last year ( i lost a ton of weight and then gained it back) 2. incorporate a larger variety of veggies 3. try some healthier recipes

Start something small. You can do a walk after dinner. This is nice because as the kids see you exercising they will join in. Some people like the Wii for this too. Something for like 10 minutes. In high school I loved TV so I would exercise during every commercial break. It's not a lot but I did lose of course I changed…

I like Chike. While I have definitely had other shakes that were lower in protein this actually kept me full so it was worth it to me. You can get a sample online for the cost of shipping. I do not like chocolate so I can't comment on that . I thought the orange was just ok, but I love the vanilla, banana, and strawberry.

Cabbage W/ Bacon - Boiled Hormel - Bbq Boneless Pork Shoulder [Slowcooker Ready] American Legion - Fried Chicken Wing Homemade - Boiled or Baked Trout Dole - Packaged Salad - Baby Spinach Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Soy Free - Vanilla Almond Milk (Refrigerated) Sweet potato - Cooked, baked in skin Vegetable - Broccoli -…

What type of dairy are you doing? I can't do milk. Almond milk yes but not regular milk. It is instant stall. Cheese and butter don't seem to hinder me losing.

Thank you for sharing your story!

I definitely don't think that I am going to reach my goal this month. Last week was just BAD. I am back on plan though. I also decided that the 30ds is not for me. as much as I like level one I HATE level 2 and I ended up stopping. I am still very much pro exercising though. If you have a dvd that you follow that's…

I am still here. This week wasn't a good one, but I am still getting back in the game. I hope to be much more active.

I am doing the 30 day shred. It is going great. I am definitely losing weight. I can fee my endurance increasing. Tonight I had the realization that I need to go to level 2. I hate those jumping planks and I don't know how to modify them. My main thing is to keep moving. But I want to master that stupid plank. Tomorrow I…

That's great. Congrats on your NSV!

Exercise and earn more calories.

Thanks for the info. I am hopefully doing a little grocery shopping tonight.

This looks easy. I haven't purchased blanched almond flour before. Do most markets carry it or do you go to a specialty store for it?

Yesterday I didn't work out. I wanted to but my darling husband was watching Monday night football, the basketball game and wrestling. So he declared Monday nights no exercise. My goal for next Monday is to exercise in the morning so I will have already done 30ds if he decides to have another big tv night. I stepped on to…

Before I struggled with lunch. I know think that I wasn't eating enough protein. I have to think about bringing my leftover dinner in for lunch to up the protein/being full feeling

@NjFoxy carbs are definitely my weakness. Right now I am trying to stick to counting calories. But eating oatmeal for breakfast is not going to work for me. It makes me crash just an hour or so later. So I am strongly considering going low carb next week. I do well with that. My body doesn't crave them once my carb intake…

I gained too. I was used to having healthier choices and working with people who were all on a healthy track so we only had healthy foods around. Even when we ordered we supported one another. My new job I just did not exercise control. Now that I have regained 25 lbs, I have a plan. I am bringing my food and when we do…

I will add you. I do support low carb and am very likely to be going back to it. This week I am finishing just watching calories, but next week I am heading back to low carb. My body seems to prefer it better.

abfit4life You are right we do have to make time for ourselves. My kiddos are 4 and almost 2. When I exercise in the evening at home they exercise with me. Chalegirl I like the 30DS. It is mindless exercising if that makes any sense. It is hard and it does help. I like it because I can do it at home. When it’s cold I don’t…

I did 30 day shred. Btw, feel free to add me

You are cute for a big girl, you don't need to lose weight. Ugh I hate this
