I use the scale, and i've also done before and after pics...not planned, i just went and found pictures where i was in the same poses, or wearing a bikini-this is really motivating to see the difference!

Love Jhud!! i have a picture of her on my wall at work!!! and sooo true about KKO, glad she's spoken out about it!

I agree, use it as incentive not to go crazy over the weekend, and weigh in at home. I understand the "take the scale" with you side too, but i think there's a fine line between pushing yourself and getting obsessive. If your husband's starting to worry maybe this is for the best. My mom worries the same way, and it's only…

ohhh great question!!! I think it probably affects us subconsciously a lot more then we think! There's a new doc out about gender and media called "Missrepresentation". One of the quotes from the trailer is that a women's worth in society is based on her attractiveness!! The media/advertising is just over the top. I was…

Good explanation of zig-zagging! it's just to keep your metabolism guessing. I don't think it has to be that drastic (between 1700-1000), and i still wouldn't go under 1200 on any given day :) but for sure, you could do like 1200 one day and 1500 the next or whatever. I usually think about it in terms of my net calories…

I went away with my girlfriends for the weekend, and on the last day we had a huge breakfast and also bought stuff from a yummy bakery. That night i randomly ate nachos…

your welcome! i know it's not for everyone, maybe the tea would mask the taste though? what about a natural calorie free sweetener like stevia?

Wednesday QOTD: Ladies, have you tried to lose weight before? So is this just another "one of those times" or is this different? What makes it different? What are you doing to ensure that you are not right back where you started? Good question!! This is sort of a long story, and not super impressive high numbers, but i did…

Tuesday QOTD: Restos are by far one of biggest challenges. Sometimes i do horrible and other times i rock them, all depends on my self-control. here's what i do: -Research, if there no nutritional value I guesstimate by looking at restaurant chain menus and trying to compare. I think it's important to look at restaurant…

You can do it!!! the best thing for you, as you said, is to recover, otherwise you'll hurt yourself further down the road!! honestly i was just reading a quote that it's 80% diet 20% exercise for weight loss, don't get me wrong i think exercise is fantastic for being healthy, but to lose weight...you can only burn so many…
