I would like to chat with fellow OTF groupies! I have been going for 5 months and love it, but not seeing the results I want.

I have been going 3x week now for about 5 months and while I enjoy it and have increased strength and endurance, I haven't seen any weight loss. I don't track food like I should but I eat a very basic diet (like literally same thing just about every day and count those calories). I would love some motivation and help with…

I joined OT on January 29th with the 8x plan. It's really strange because I love it and I hate it!! I find myself wanting to go back for more torture but after the workout it really feels super! I need to lose weight but I know my body and from doing bootcamps and such, I usually always gain lbs (muscle) at first. I…

Hello all. I am in week 2 of PTF and so far so good. I too had a Groupon so it saved me some dough. Also, I am only doing the lunches and dinners...I make my own breakfast of turkey sausage or similar meat and hard boiled egg. I am not a breakfast person so that is quick and easy for me. I think the food is very good!! And…

I started a GF diet yesterday after having a lot of issues with stress which has resulted in some intestinal problems as well as some other issues. So, my doctor and I decided to give this a try to see if we can regulate the sugar in my body (apparently stress causes sugar spikes etc. etc.) and at the same time try to see…

Wow!!! :happy: All very great comments. This is really, really helpful. Thanks everyone. Reading many of these comments it sounds like it would be common sense but I guess when you are on the regimented program such as Jenny, it really can skew your thinking about what to eat, what not to eat when you are coming off of it.…

I would eat their pre-packaged breakfast sandwich (egg, a tiny slice of ham on a biscuit,...had about $290 calories). They also had things like pancakes and muffins too. I would eat that meal and also add a fruit and a yogurt. Now, I am basically just eating a fruit and yogurt. I can't figure out what to replace the larger…

I have only done it three times since I got the dvd last week but I found that I had to move up to level 2 after doing 1 twice because I was not really feeling the workout. I have heard people say it can hurt your knees and I definitely see where they are coming from. I try to be very careful not to over extend when doing…

I would like to know as well becuae everytime I eat an apple in particular, It makes me waaaay hungrier than I was prior to eating it. This only happens with apples though. So very odd!

My dream is to have my own vineyard as well! I LOVE wine. I actually write a blog dedicated to Virginia wineries. I enjoy going to wine tastings on the weekends and it is actually a part of my lifestyle. I refuse to give it up. Sorry! But, yes, now that I am on MFP and really trying to lose some weight I will make sure I…

Where do we find this group?? I am really wondering if that is my problem. I have been working out intensely for several months, eating 1200 calories (mostly healthy with the occasional splurge) and really not budging...well, I will drop 5, gain back 3, drop 3 gain back 2 etc. It is getting ridiculous.

I have just found myself in a really bad mood! lol. For example, out with friends and everyone at the table is eating whatever the hell they want...fried calamari, pasta, the bread on the table, etc. and I am sitting there eating my boring salad with no dressing! I literally have an attitude and I am not fun to be around.…

The story of my life! I always tend to lose inches before and more than actual "weight" (from the scale). I go by how my clothes fit usually. In the last week the scale showed that I gained 2 lbs but my pants are WAY looser than they were even just last month. And, I keep getting the compliments like "you look skinny" (I…

I am 4'11 and NEED to lose at least 20lbs...I have a 20 year high school reunion coming up this fall ;-). Definitely interested in connecting with those who are on a similar journey and learning what works and does not work for others. Recently, a nutritionist told me "oh it is too bad you are short, it's just going to be…

I appreciate this comment because it is what I am experiencing now. I started Jenny a few weeks ago. The first week I lost, but then in week two I gained weight back. The reason, I think, is because I did deviate somewhat from the very strict plan when I had social events. Even though I tried to eat what they told me (i.e.…

I love Jazzercise! I used to do it about 10 years ago then stopped but got back into it this past February. I really look forward to going to class every day...unlike how I felt about going to the gym ;-(. JC has really given me back my desire to work out, sweat, burn calories. I feel like my clothes are fitting better…

Wow, what awesome responses. Very encouraging. I should have noted that it is not my ONLY form of exercise - I do a bootcamp on Saturday mornings, and I have free weights at home to do workouts during the week that we learn at bootcamp. But, during the week I just haven't had time for much cardio so I was really hoping the…

Agree - try different ones because they all taste different. I love Fage and Chobani, but 0% fat. The full fat ones don't taste as good to me. I love it with honey - tastes like custard to me, and I loooove custard! I put fresh fruit in it as well.

Awesome! I will enter as circuit training (I didn't even think of that). And, I think a heart rate monitor will be a good purchase as well. Thanks!
