today I added PB2 to my Cocoa Cocoa Wheats - didn't help the taste of the PB2 & definitely took away the awesomeness of Cocoa Wheats - I wonder if any1 has found a tolerable way to consume this stuff?

I'm giving up Drinking :drinker: &&&&&....Enriched Foods - I seem to give up drinking every yr so this yr I wanted 2 do sumthin more 4 myself. I will note that I'm Horrified to find that Bisquick is Enriched :sad: I've been making Bisquick pancakes w/Blueberries or Choc. Chips or Walnuts or Bananas on wkend mornings for…

WOW - is the only word that comes to mind when I see your pics! I started Insanity on Nov. 21, 2011 & I am so completely encouraged by your results - Way to go! Thank you So Much for sharing!

I'm in! This is going to be exciting :happy:

Well, I made it thru day 1 of the ease in & I feel somewhat headachey, but I'm fighting a headcold so that could be a factor. I have felt hungry @ times throughout the day, but I had a supply of "living food" with in snacking distance ps I weighed 161 this morning I'm 5'6"

I've started the Master Cleanse Diet today. I did a bunch of reading online & it's likely not the best way to lose or keep off weight. but...I have a friend & she saw good results. Although, she doesn't have the same muscle mass I have. I think that's my greatest concern - losing muscle mass. I just find it very hard to…

After reading all these posts I think I've been doing it all wrong :( A typical day for me: 4am - Cardio or Stretch - I drink 1/2-1 bottle of water during 7am - 4egg whites 1 yolk, 1c broc, 1/2 slice "good" bread 10am - 2tbs Smart Bal PB & 13 Fiber Select crackers 12 pm-1pm- Cardio - Jog on beach or walk w/weights 1:30 -…

Thx so much for the info. I'm very excited to check it all out!

I've found the ideal way for me to control my portions is to only eat half of whatever it is on my plate. I pull a tupperware container out & put 1/2 into it right away so it is out of site (out of mind). I also drink a glass of water prior to my meal in hopes of it helping "fill me up". Hope this helps! Good Luck

I have found that the best thing is to get up & get moving earlier than u normally would; even only 15 minutes. Start there, get your body use to being up earlier - that will begin to jump start your metabolism. Eventually you'll want to work out during that time. I've also found it is best to do some kind of wkout after…

Crazy

Nomore!

I just watched it for the 1st time lastnite & I really liked it. It seemed more personal to me than BL. I could identify w/the people & the way they lived, how they ate, etc. I will definately tune it again. I actually watched it while I burned my after dinner calories on my eliptical - very motivating!

False - I can eat a lil Andes mint & be fine all day! The person below me can find At Least 2 Good Things about theirself that they can share w/others.

That's a very encouraging thought & I thank you for taking the time to respond. I've just logged my dinner calories & I see that I'm over, so I have to hit the eliptical & burn some off! Thanks again!

Thank you! I've been struggling w/that very idea. I think it's most difficult for me because I really needed new pants & they really fit/look nice.

I have a bit of a dilema. It probally will seems silly to many, but this is what's goin on w/me. I had always promised myself that I would never do dbl digit pants, but... on an after Christmas shopping spree w/my BFN I found that they look/fit very nice (for now) & I really needed some new pants anyway... now I'm doing…

Welcome to MFP! I'm on day 3, I also have 2 sons w/b-days fast approaching (Jan 22 & 30th). I also an doing well so far & am worried bout sticking to it. Good Luck Stay Motivated!

On the rare occasions that I have bacon, I cook it on my forman grill all the fat drains away, cooks to perfection & I almost don't feel guilty eating it that way LOL :smile:

Welcome to MFP! I have the same type of trouble. I lose weight... It Finds Me! Very frustrating I know; try to stay positive even when you slip-up. I've always heard that eating slower makes you feel fuller longer. As for me, I am a gobbler! Doesn't matter how much or little time I have to eat, it seems like I gobble up my…

I love this post! I would like to add that I observed a similar thing w/icecream - Any Brand vs Breyers "All Natural" - melt a bowl of each on your countertop & check the results. I'm a HUGE FAN of if it's natural it's got to be good for you - in moderation of course! So I have my occasional bowl of BREYERS ice cream -…

Well, it seems I'm some sort of freak of nature... I don't like pizza! HOWEVER, I absolutely LOVE McDs fries! Everynow & again I will treat myself to Fry Friday; of course that's only if I've been very good about my cardio thru the entire wk. I find it very difficult to get out of bed @ 4am 2 do my early am cardio, but I…

Welcome to MFP it's a very good site, I'm sure you'll find the support you receive here very inspirational. I know I do!

I also have been suffering from some back trouble.Lastnite I saw a Chiropracter (for the 1st time in my life) & I'm Glad I Did! For Christmas I received some beginner Pilates DVDs & I've been doing them on my lunch, they are less than 30 min. I have noticed a huge difference in the stiffness in my lower back - or I should…

Day 2 of my NY Roller Coaster ride has started out well even tho I woke 1hr late! I was still able to get in 15 min of morning cardio (burned 150 cals). 2nite I wt train w/my BFN & am lkn 4ward 2it!

The fact that you recognize that you're an 'emotional eater' is a huge step. Maybe try to keep only 'good for you' foods around.

Hi Kelly, Welcome to MFP. Congratulations on your new baby! Keep in mind your body needs extra healthy nutrients since you're nursing - of course you know that :)' If your into munchies... try putting grapes in the freezer. The frozen grapes are better than a popsicle. And, my personal fav is celery w/Smart Balance peanut…

Welcome to MFP. I'm sure you'll enjoy the site, it's so user friendly & so many friendly people! My NY Motivator... I put a pair of my 'skinny jeans' on the towel rack in my bathroom w/a note above them... The note says: Do You Have What It Takes To Get Back Here?

Portion Control & Moderation - GREAT JOB! - Keep it up & remember... It's never crowed along the extra mile!
