I'm on episode 51.. I like how they showed you more of the numbers (ie: what settings on the treadmill), show more of the workouts and you get to see them playing with how they figure the weigh ins. How the trainers are learning how to achieve maximum weight loss in the smallest amount of times etc... As well the not…

I live close to hear right off of albermarle/lawyers . Yes, the hospital coming will bring a starbucks and restaraunt around here minus what used to be Bogeys which was gross. Though there is a pretty great vegetarian place right near us. I own a music magazine so I love to hang out in the mid-hood (Plaza Midwood) just…

I have to stay on low sodium eating. Anything packaged or canned is a huge no no. You should always be hyper aware how much sodium you are taking in because it does make you retain water, fluxes your blood pressure etc. The numbers vary from 2000 to about 2600 your food journal should show you make sure to track that one.…

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Forget about them, they are obviously shallow and not worth another thought. I am very lucky no matter even at my heaviest at my gym I've never encountered this minus one incident and at the time I was fried from the day and in no way going to take crap from anyone. I simply told the guy…

Started at 248.8 last week I was down to 240.8 Now I'm 238.0! So another -2lbs this week. I'm hoping for a big number next weekend but I know thanksgiving might throw me for a loop. I'm not the one putting it on and where I'm going has just about the best tasting food ever. I think it might be different this year though as…

Sounds yummy but does anyone have a low carb suggestion to these? That is practically my WHOLE day in carbs in one muffin...

Sounds like a good challenge. My schedule is 5 days a week at the gym and one day at home I do other stuff. I'm up to 5 glasses of water a day (I've detested water since I was a little girl and am trying to relearn how to love it).

Glad you found the site. I'm 5ft myself and I have about 105 pounds to go to get to where I want. I know how weight can show easily on people our height. I have five kids and know that struggle too. Good luck on your journey!

Yes, I follow them and many have. I've met a few who have kept it off. As you watch the show they will have them come back on from time to time. The one who gained the most back (and even more) was Eric from season two. Very sad, but mostly they gain a few pounds back when their body regulates from what they were doing and…

I adore her voice. She's wonderful.

Moderation is my goal. I will treat myself to some things i really enjoy on the holidays but only a piece or a small portion not like before my healthy lifestyle. I work so hard for those pounds to come off and know full well I could pack on 10 or 15 pounds EASILY from Christmas to New Years day. No thanks!

My trainer told me when this happens it means you need to adjust your seat and such. I have it happen from time to time so I stand up for a moment and pedal to get my blood flowing right again and if you're hitting a nerve give it a second. Same thing happens on the elliptical and I realign my stance. A lot of times I'll…

I'm in, this is what I wrote in the group part... Hello! I'm Dianna most call me Dia. Mom of five and I'm a Music Photojournalist and live in Charlotte, NC but am a Jersey girl at heart. I'm originally from Cape May, NJ and I miss the beach like no other. I've hit a plateau a few months ago and just fell off. I was on said…

Hello! I'm Dianna most call me Dia. Mom of five and I'm a Music Photojournalist and live in Charlotte, NC but am a Jersey girl at heart. I'm originally from Cape May, NJ and I miss the beach like no other. I've hit a plateau a few months ago and just fell off. I was on said plateau for several months and also had an injury…

I'm there with you, feel free to add me. I have five kids (4 boys ,1 girl) age 15, 13,12,11,and just turned 4. I work close to 70 hours a week and life is hectic but I have 113 more pounds to lose to be at my goal. I can do another 20 after that 'maybe'. I'm pretty good at staying on track but have those off months that I…

Norwegian death metal is amazing. Belphagor , Hate, Keeper of Kalessin, and Born of Osiris were here not so long ago and man that show was GOOOOOOOOD!!!!

Lamb of God - is the top of my list I adore them for this fact they help me really get through work outs Between the Buried and Me - depends on what album but a lot of their heavier stuff for weights and mellow stuff for cool down. Atreyu - eh just when I am doing cardio Skinless - real death metal The Red Chord - when I…

Eh, Dethklok actually has a few decent tracks but it depends... what else do you like? ;) I LOVE metal. I dislike very much anyone who claims to be a metal head and thinks that Metallica is the best band in the world, and doesn't listen to different facets of metal. I like things from Misery Index, Skinless, all the way to…

Studies show that you release a hormone when you are tired that tricks your brain into thinking it's hungry as well. You might just need to get to sleep a little earlier or catch a cat/energy nap during the day as well. Yes, a few nuts should have been the statement , but I'm sure a small meal change could help leave…

I also forgot to say. When I work out it helps me to eat right I figure if I'm that sore why mess up all that hard work with candy. Then when I'm eating right I feel better and I want to get to the gym to keep it up . Vicious WONDERFUL cycle.

Find a 20 calorie snack. Some raw carrots, a handful of nuts, anything really. Try to budget your calories a little more, can you cut out a drink that isn't water throughout the day to leave you some calories after dinner to curb your appetite. If you are that hungry then you should snack. Cut off should be around 9pm.

True some are but for the most part 75% are not and aren't getting discovered because people are inundated with the likes of Nickelback and Ke$ha and for god sakes think that Slipknot is the end all be all to metal? I work in the music industry and have seen, interviewed, and caught up with some really amazing bands that…

Quite the opposite. Listen to grooveshark.com type in bands you like or even try pandora.com you get some indie bands, obscure bands, errrrr TALENTED bands and you aren't stuck with the same 40 lame bands most people are listening to because they can't get out of the comfort zone. I've noticed a lot in my studies people…

Carey, I've been in remission for a few years now (twice). I'm glad to get back on track and start fully living! Judy - CA is gorgeous I have traveled and stayed there many time throughout my touring career. A lot of my time was spent in Calabassas and Morning View and a bit of Malibu beautiful scenery I wish I was close…

Yep! Good luck :)

My best friend dropped close to 200 lbs on the HCG diet and injections. She's gained it all back in one year now AFTER surgery to take off the excess skin! If you are hitting a plateau like this you might just need to change up your workouts. Up the intensity, rest when you need to. Do not cut your calories your body will…

You can do it. Realizing we all fall every once in a while, don't beat yourself up about it and jump right back in. Welcome aboard!

I do adore Dolvette as a trainer but still my heart is with Bob. Players, I'm actually watching all the biggest loser seasons on netflix at the moment. I'm on episode 40 which I believe is season 3, episode 2. From before I loved Patrick (season 11 I believe?) he was warm and inviting and just great and then as you might…

I've added you all. Thanks for the welcome. MrsFloyd I'm not in Charlotte Mommies but it would make sense with my mob. KayakAngel you sound like you are really having some fun with life, as I get down in the weight I'm attempting to be more active my lifestyle has made it hard but I'm changing up a lot of my stuff to have…
