  • Hi Rita, definitely stop weighing daily. We (our weight) fluctuates daily. Concentrate on what you are doing right and reap the rewards once a week. It is so tempting to check daily but it can be frustrating. Also if you measure or have a favorite pair of jeans or an other article of clothing that you can gauge progress…
  • Back in SO Cal. today!! Resting up for tomorrows challenge :)
  • I've got HIP HOP ABS and TURBO JAM. Love them!! When I first got them I was so out of shape it wasn't even funny. BACK INJURY. Recently I've really gotten a lot out of them, I am putting more effort into them. I love them because I can pick the one that best fits my time schedule.
  • Your Heart is the most important muscle in your body. If your body starts using muscle for fuel it can damage your heart. Do you really want a quick fix that will last a month or do you want to change your life and it last a lifetime?
  • I have the same problem. I am a pharmacy tech and I know that 1000mg of potassium suppliment is prescription strength BUT, DON"T do more than that. To get potassium out of your diet us Paprika. Put it on everything it taste good and is very healthy for you. I use in in all my tomato based meals, vegetables, and Chicken.…
  • I love celery and almond butter. Green apples too.
  • The sad truth is... If she would have just struck up a conversation with you, she would have seen what an amazing person you are and forgot about all the body art. I myself don't have any but, I love talking to people who do. Such artistic talent, incite and truly caring people. I have a couple of nieces who have done it…
  • According to My Fitness Pal, you should never go under 1200 cals. If you do you are loosing muscle. YOUR HEART is a muscle. It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to loose a pound, just as it take 3500 overage to gain a pound. So if your lifestyle is sedentary then you have to get moving to loose weight. That is only 500 calories…
  • I'm in and I will do my best to catch up in 10 days. O_o that means I will double up. I will do the proper day and the first 9 in order. I need it :)
  • You look great!! Take one body part at a time and compare. I see the difference. If you have any questions, put the first suit on again. Then you will really see the difference. Your legs are smaller, including your calfs. No dimpling in the upper leg. Breasts are totally smaller. I bet your back feels better. and your…
  • I work with many different people and I've asked my Asian friends if they eat american white rice or get it from Asia. The answer for the thin people is they go to the Asian market and get the import. America adds stuff to our rice. You should see the rolly pollies that eat the American stuff.
  • I work in a pharmacy and just had a patient go from the pills to insulin. NOT fun. Now he is trapped to a cooler or staying at home so he can keep his insulin cold. I am reading the South Beach Diet and it is written by a doctor. He has testimonials about multiple people following this and getting off of all meds. It is…
  • Hi, I used to be the same way. I hated the attention from guys. I've never had good self esteem (Not my parents nor my ex-husband had any comments for me) and I was told by my ex that if a guy is giving me attention he is just after one thing. I was never thin enough for him. Nothing I did was good enough. I have since…
  • Awesome 30 day progress!!!!
  • Crunches or push-ups work for me. :)
  • Count me in. I'm 49 and REALLY want to loose 50 lbs in 5 months. My daughter is getting married. Please add me EVERYONE we can motivate each other.
  • Bookyetti, I'm with you, with the carbs since I am very carbohydrate sensitive. It also matters what kind of carbs we eat. I have stopped eating all the white carbs. I've got to find what works for me. I guess the weigh in on Friday will help me to know.
  • Since my weight loss is so small at this point I'm not sure if I should remark. But, I thought it was very important to docardio for weight loss. Of course the muscle helps the matabolism.
  • I had the mind set, IF 1200 cals. is good for me then LESS would be better. Not the case for me. I quit posting and quit trying because I thought this thing doesn't work. I GAINED ALL MY WEIGHT BACK. Then my friend told me if I do nothing else but eat less than (BM something) than I had no reason not to loose the weight,…
  • Add me I have been wanting to join the community to have a accountibility buddy. I'm 5'3" weigh 173 and want to get back down to 125. I am building muscle and lousing some weight. I can't wait until I have to buy new clothes.
  • Can I just comment about your tracker. The amount of weight you lost is awesome and I love the transformation in the tracker. What an inspiration!
  • That is a good way to describe what I've done. The biggest problem with that is when I gained the weight back I never "LOOKED" re-inflated. We have to eat right to get our skin to conform to the new us. The right bra is key to looking good and feeling good about myself.
  • As you can see in my picture, I am very top heavy. I've been big, small, big, and now I am going to be small again. I gain and loose in my boobs 1st and I hate to see them go. I had been skinny at a younger age and missed them at the time. But now I look back at pictures of me skinny and although they are smaller...a lot…
  • I lost 10 lbs then gained it all back. I can't do this!!! I'm to short to be this big! Family reunion in 6 weeks and wedding in 12 months. I'm going to do this. I'm finding the phone app to be very helpful and a lot of fun. STAY AWAY FROM RED ROBIN!!! way too many calories per plate.

  • I think I will log before I eat to see just what I will be up against. I will only put a SMALL amount of each thing on my plate. That should satisfy my taste buds :)
  • Thank you so much wjcyz !!! That sounds like what I need. Have fun with the wedding. Such a wonderful day :) Thank you, achampionsheart, I've got the Danskin and it doesn't work for me.
