IN my 3rd week of Chalean xtreme. SORT of doing EMTWL although for me it has been eat more to weigh more :/ I've ONLY gained and NEVER lost. Even did the 6 week reset. Went up 13 lbs. My body won't let it go. ANyway.... LOVE Chalean :)

Me? Clothes. lOTS and LOTS of clothes. Definitely :/ Maybe one day.....

I'm doing Chalean extreme. Some days cardio some days weights. It takes me about an hour to recover. I do usually eat some protein in that hour. Not dehydrated. Usually eat about 30 min. To an hour before exercising. Thank you both for your thoughts/ help!

Took it for migraines about 5 1/2 yrs ago. Don't remember the dosage but I experienced stabbing pains in 1 eye and had to stop immediately.

Is sugar free pudding allowed? it is lass than 75 cals but i'm not sure....

Me too! I started strong last week and then fizzled :( I started over today, and I'm happy to say by hubby is joining me. He only has about 10 or 15 to lose, but the support will be nice as well as having 1 other person in the house eating like me :) We CAN do this. Welcome QUEEN :)

Could also be a food allergy issue. My youngest has severe allergies and asthma. Things like colds, seasonal allergies, cats and certain foods will cause an attack for him. Definitely worth looking into. Hope you figure it out soon :)

way to go!

THis. ANNND, for those of us that have had twins/multiples, it is even worse :/ I have THIN friends who can't get rid of it. THey've never been fat, but had twin pregnancies.

Well, despite not being 100% on plan, I did manage to lose 2 lbs. I was really hoping to start phase 1 fresh today, but i ve been battling extreme dizziness AND back pain since saturday. My food today with have to be what i can eat quick and easy, while still trying to be healthy. Haven't been able to eercise since friday…

I started out strong this week but the last 3 days I have made some poor food choices :( A bite here a bite there. Sooo, I kinda feel like I'm "starting over" today. I've done this with SBD in the past. I'll start out really good, and then cave and eat carbs or sugar. It's really hard to make my kids snacks/foods and not…

Thanks again! 1 more stupid question : What do you use the fitbit for? I mean, practically, how do you use the info it gives you?

OK. Thanks. Do you eat back exercise calories?

Good luck! YOu've done it before so you know you can do it again :)

When I was prego with number 3 I wore an orange shirt and used black construction paper for eyes and mouth of a jack o lantern. (On my belly :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

Just a little under 5 '10" with a large frame and my goal is 160 to 165, but if I get to 170 and i am toned and not flabby, I'd be happy with that :) I'd LOVE to get into a size 10. The smallest size (in my adult life) I've ever been was a 12. I can't forsee ever fitting into an 8, so 10 is my hope :)

Iam NOT an expert (nor do I play one on MFP) BUT i recommend trying to increase slowly. I TOTALLY screwed up my metabolism by eating 800 to 1000 cals for over a year, then did the whole eating at TDEE thing for 5 weeks and gained 13 lbs. Of course, I went from eating 900 to 1000 cals/day to 2500 . Whoa! Anyway, I FREAKED…

I def. don't think they need to "scram". Who would inspire me? I thought it was kind of a joke whem OP said it, but maybe i'm wrong. Am i jealous? Yeah. (In an admiring way, not hateful.) Low self esteem? Oh yeah. But, we are ALL working toward the same thing: fitness. We ALL can be proud of that. I'm thankful that so many…

On the one hand all those fit ladies REALLY inspire me. On the other it does make me feel "bleh" about me. (Although to be fair i can feel that way without help :/ I'm trying to focus on being inspired :)

i'm curious about the soy protein thing too. i always thought it was good. what makes it bad? (really want to know, not trying to be controversial :)

great. thanks!

An apple.... maybe with a tsp of PB or chopped up in my greek yogurt :)

I too have had to be careful. My oldest son has a slight tummy, (really not bad, just not flat) and has had some teasing and self-image issues. In the past several months, I've changed my "language". We talk about eating healthy, not losing weight or trying not to be "fat". It has actually helped him some. He gets excited…

January 5th anyone?

Very good advice! THank you :)

katapple: happy and in love :)

Thanks ladies!
