Trying to get to the point of answering this!

Ooh I forgot about Blair's sexy self....yum

Swim!

That's what I say....if you're going to have a slice of cake....do it right! :-)

Check out the DASH diet. Also, like someone mentioned cook your own meals....and use natural herbs and spices. If you need to use premade seasoning Mrs. Dash is great!

We all backslide from time to time, it's okay...you're human! Just make sure your next meal is a sensible one!

OMG How could I forget about Blue Chips! PENNY HARDAWAY!

He Got Game

I did this years ago and nearly passed out, I was EXERCISING pretty heavy at the time. I wouldn't recommend that anyone do it for any long term weight loss. I mean if you need to lose ten pounds quickly for some event....yeah this will probably do it, but anything long term....naaaah!

No, I don't feel like it's cheating...it's a necessity for some, we're all not perfect. I suffer from dunlap and backfat and I can't STAND to see a person wearing fitted clothing looking like the Michelin Man.

As a person who has to watch their sodium, I don't eat them. Even if I didn't have issues with salt I wouldn't eat because the sodium content is just TOO high...smh. It's sad because some of those meals do look tasty.

THIS! I told my dad that I noticed that people are just nicer to me...saying hello, smiling....he said well maybe you're nicer now too...LOL maybe!

You look so good....NOW! (Geee, thanks!) Are you losing weight because of Jennifer Hudson? (Ranted about this yesterday, she is not the Black woman weight loss goddess) You had surgery right? (Contrary to popular belief, people can lose large amounts of weight sans bariatric surgery!)

I was/am an emotional eater as well! I say just have "Healthy Junk" on hand! Stock up on grapes, strawberries, snack bars (Kashi has some greats ones!), and when you have that urge...reach for that instead! It takes some time, but you'll be able to break out of that cycle.

This is disgusting.

LMAO!

LOL @ the cultural discrepancies in this thread. Anyway, nothing wrong with being a little thick.

Shape 3 If I had a body like Beyonce...you couldn't tell me nothin'! =P

No, I don't follow the meal plan....I do my own thing and I'm seeing results.

YES :-( At my highest I was a DD....I am now a C. The boobs have been decimated *pours one out for lost boobage**

I have a Polar FT7 and love it! I think the Polar FT7 holds more data than the FT4, but that's about it.

I started Phase 2 today.....WHOO BOY! I can't do the all of the military push-up side plank thingie in Workout 5! I did about 2 or 3 and then did modified push-ups. I'm going to practice my crescent pose form more cause I didn't really feel anything like I think I should have during the "fly" maneuver. Cardio 2 is a…

During my TOM I get cravings I've never had and of course gain weight due to water. I just don't even think about it anymore because it's something I can't control....dah well! LOL

I've been tracking mine since last year when I was diagnosed with hypertension. It's difficult at first, because so much of the food that we eat is LOADED with sodium. It will get easier though....I don't consume more than 1200 mg of sodium daily.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. http://www.khaledhosseini.com/hosseini-books-splendidsuns.html It was an excellent book.
