I agree!! Try #1 first

I agree, I love Jillian Michaels' dvds! Also, you said you have gained muscle. Some people say that muscle weighs more than fat, so measure yourself, look at how clothes fit, don't just depend on the scale!

Good job on taking these steps! Your diary was not open so I was not able to advise based on that, however my best guess is that you may be over-estimating the calories you burn working out and under-estimating the calories in the food. My advice: 1. Get a heart rate monitor 2. Open your food diary so pals can see what…

Fantastic everyone! Thank you for sharing!

Congrats! I am training for one in late February!

Awesome accomplishments everyone!

I love putting it in writing and images as well. My plan 1. Organic Veggies everyday (raw and steamed both) 2. Continue with water as main beverage (coffee, tea sometimes, no diet drinks) 3. More organic fruit 4. Jillian Michaels body revolution for weight training 5. Continue running 2 times a week 6. Cycling 1-2 times a…

That's awesome! I am doing my first in February, started training today, can't wait.

This is a good idea. I use stevia at home in coffee every day, but to be honest at work they only have sweet n low, out and about they usually only have splenda. So I know I have one of these almost every day and I am going to try stopping and see how I feel.

I agree with those who said chill but also maybe ask your doctor.

I don't fast because I feel it will lead to another binge. Instead I try to make the next day include the following: 1. Lemon water first thing in the morning 2. Lots of water all day long 3. 30 minute jog 4. 1 hour walk at some other point in the day 5. Lots of veggies and other clean meals

Don't click that, it is an advertisment, could have a virus even. Just avoid fried foods, sugary foods/drinks, and try to choose veggies, fruit, lean protein as much as possible :)

I put my ipad on the elliptical with a movie or tv show from Netflix.

Same here. I don't even have kids, but I taught 2nd grade for 6 years. I always thought that was the reason, also I was either getting my M.A. at night or teaching college at night for 3 years. Now I only teach college, 9 hours a week only! I get up earlyish (5:30am) but also make sure to go to sleep by 10pm. I think I may…

I have had something similar but not the swelling. I found that I have to go every other day with running now, not every day. In fact even biking and elliptical (supposed to be easy on joints) hurt me knees, I get more pain with elliptical/bike then running. I try to do strength the other days and drink joint juice :) Hope…

I just ordered the same bike! Can't wait to try it, hope you love it!

Amazing!

Wow! Congrats! Unbelievable! I cannot wait for your husband to see you either!! Talk about a reward for his service!

So glad to hear how many others feels this way. I also was playing it down and saying things like "you think" Now I just do what someone said, have programmed response "yeah i've been trying to be healthier" It is super weird when people ask how much weight you have lost though, or ask "have you lost weight?"

Very nice! The woman who was trying to bring you down could not have been a confident woman by the way!

1. Not having to worry about pictures! I don't have to crop out half an arm or below the bust! 2. Fitting into jeans that I like 3. Knowing being fit makes me look and feel younger and that I am respecting my body by eating well and working out 4. This success stories page, I visit it often and it REALLY helps me to see…

5'2 and 1/2 :) at 107, down from 127 but don't mind going up to 110 or more as muscle increases. My focus is really muscle/toning. I think between 105-115 would make sense, but age, body frame, if you are a mother, are all considerations as well the body fat % everyone has mentioned.

Purpose face wash 2 times a day Witch hazel toner once a day clinique moistorizing gel in the day acne.org aha at night drinks lots of water and lemon water good luck also change pillow covers and clean cell phone birth control pills can help some people too

I agree that you look great and should not lose any weight. I am in a similar position, right weight but not ideal shape, want to be more toned. I know everyone says lifting heavy makes it happen so I am starting that, but I also notice a difference in my body when I run regulalry. What do you do for your cardio? I know…

Jillian is not mean in her dvds at all, she is not like how she is on the show Losing It or Biggest Loser:smooched:

I just started today, feel free to add me

I started today :)

I usually take my laptop with me to play dvd's when I am traveling.

So amazing! So inspiring! I just restarted the program today because I got off track after phase 1 a few months back. Congrats on your amazing results!!
