sounds great. I love ground turkey; I can't stand ground beef!

I've lost 110 lbs and 54 lbs since on here with my diary private. You can't rely on people to hold you accountable you gotta do that on your own. I gladly tell people how I've lost all my weight and will tell them what I eat. But that doesn't mean everything has to be open to view.

I am sure it depends on the person. But exercise increases the metabolism and i am less hungry when i exercise.

I know certain spices can increase the metabolism such as red pepper and cumin but I haven't had it increase my appetite.

sounds great

This is exactly right! I am so much more self-conscious now then when I was at my biggest.

I just really watched portions and cut out fast food. I started exercising 4 to 6 days a week and sometimes even 7 days a week. I started incorporating way more veggies into my diet and cut out sodas. I also limit going out to restaurants to once a month. It's been so easy and knowing how healthy i am now makes it even…

I eat Subway every Thursday and I have lost 107lbs. I cook all other meals throughout the week but Thursdays are my one day to not have to cook! I watch my sodium intake the rest of the week bc I know Subway is high in sodium. Enjoy it when you would like but just watch everything else.

mine is ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg white, worchestershire sauce reduced sodium, heinz 57, yellow mustard, seasoning, onions...mix all together...bake with ketchup spread on top...so great!

5'8"---190lbs size 10/12

I was doing the same thing and just experienced my crash. I gotta really sick and had no energy. I just started back after 3 days rest. I feel much better now and stronger.

I have a before pic under my profile pics and me now is my main pic right now.

Thanks everyone!

Since we started the challenge i have lost 19lbs. Only 6lbs left!

My name is Tiffani and my user name is my old college email address that was given to me. The first letter of my first name and first 5 letters from my last name and the number 1.

I had posted this one a while back and it was really good only 424 calories for 1 serving which was 2 fillets. 6 flounder fillets (or any white fish) 1/4 cup red onions, chopped 1/4 cup green bell peppers, chopped 3 tablespoons butter (I use Smart Balance Light with Flax) 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour salt and pepper 1…

That's so awesome! It wasn't until I had lost 50lbs before most people noticed! ugh it was not a confidence booster I can tell you!

I only have 5 more pounds to go but I know it is an amazing feeling at 95lbs lost!

I have been doing level 2 twice in a row for over a week and I felt some soreness the first 2 days but now I really feel I am getting stronger. Maybe you should just watch your form a little closer to see if you are doing something a little off.

I am right there with you! I am at 204 and it seems like the 100s will never come!

good luck! If you need an extra friend for support feel free to add me!

Great job!!

Exercise and illness: Work out with a cold? http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/AN01097 Is it OK to exercise if I have a cold? Answer from Edward R. Laskowski, M.D. Mild to moderate physical activity is usually OK if you have a garden-variety cold and no fever. Exercise may even help you feel better by opening your…

yes here DVDs work! I have all the ones mentioned but have only done 30DS so far. I am on day 13 and have been doing 2 to 3 levels per day and I have seen much improvement. But now I will open the other 2 when I get home and start on those as well!

A. I drink 114 oz at a minimum each day B. Drinking the amount above has helped fuel my weight loss bc when I started and didn't drink as much the weight loss was slower. C. If I don't drink enough I definitely feel "blah" especially if I had more sodium than usual for that day. It flushes a lot out so it makes me feel…

I workout 6-7 days a week and do Insanity, 30DS and treadmill. I have to do workouts that can be done at my house as I have no time to go to class/gym.

Cheese, Pepsi and chips. I still allow cheese into my diet but eating the reduced fat kind or the fat free, I eat the baked kind of chips, but I have given up Pepsi and other regular sodas. I know it is not realistic to give up our favorite things for long bc it is better to have occasionally than telling ourselves we…

This is pretty much me in a nutshell! I am on day 12 and still love it. I always do more than one level bc 20 mins. to me is just not enough. I normally do level 1 and then level 2 right after but on the weekends I do level 1 then level 2 then level 1 again. Now since I am building strength I have done level 2 twice the…

I really would like to know this too. Over the past 2 months it has gotten out of control since I up-ed my working out.

Also, your net should be around 1200 per day so it should not be in a negative that's why you hear you should eat back your exercise calories. I never eat mine back so my net normally ranges around 600 to 800 after I eat and exercise. Just find what is best for your body. But a healthy caloric intake should not dip below…
