I'm 4 days into trying this since I basically started on a plateau. I'm just bouncing around the same few pounds. Since starting the zig zag or yoyo I haven't gained but its really too soon to tell. I'm curious how its working for others. I'm eager for results. I've been working hard for 6 weeks with no real results and I…

Birthday cake has no calories on the birthday, so enjoy yourself. Its finishing off the cake later that hurts. So enjoy today, let someone else have the leftovers :tongue: Or throw them out as soon as the guest leave so you won't eat it tomorrow.

I don't want to say large/small frame but address how much muscle I'm packing. I'm at 183 now. At this weight 3 years ago I wore a size 14/16 before losing to 142 and a size 6. Right now I'm in a 8/10. My goal is to be very comfy back in my size 6 pants. I know I will weigh more in those size 6 pants because I'm stronger…

Can you walk comfortably? You might be able to walk in a pool to lessen the weight bearing on your foot while it heals.

How you deal with discipline is a big deal, also think ahead about how you intend to involve parents. Be prepared to discuss what extra curricular duties you are qualified/prepared for doing. Being a team player and cross curricular stuff is important as well as being well versed in your state's standardized testing. I'm…

Wow, this thread makes me realize I have a lot of bad habits! Tasting (one or two servings worth) while I'm cooking Eating stuff my kids didn't finish Popping joints (feet, knuckles, knees) procrastinating wasting time on internet (but its too hot to go outside & there's nothing on tv) Grazing in the fridge when I'm not…

Punches, from a held squat position if you can do that. It will get your heart rate up.

I just thaw the shrimp and eat it with some cocktail sauce. Its so low cal. also on skinnytaste.com there is a great recipe for shrimp& avocado salad that I want to try very soon!

I'm needing to up my calories and some days by a bunch since I'm attempting the yoyo thing since I've been stuck. Unless I read something better on here before that point....I'm just gonna eat some peanut butter from the jar. :tongue: I LOVE PB!

Wow! this thread has been a good laugh! :laugh: needed it today Thanks!

I'm a teacher and love it! Sometimes I wonder about working in the medical field in testing somewhere down the road. Other times of being a traveling nature photographer (I do photography in the summers)

I like a pic of my feet because they are the one thing on me that stays skinny! LOL

well paint your toenails & grab your camera :laugh:

had a guy hit on me because he's into feet! ugh!

I wonder this same thing about the thighs with every step on the treadmill. I'm in a 8/10 and they still are a problem. I'm hoping to lose about 25 pounds. I'm interested in this advice too. Good luck!

Awesome!!! Bet it was kinda funny too :laugh: I'm looking forward to that feeling again.

[/quote] Does the chocolate flavored whey actually taste like chocolate? I seriously want a "chocolate shake" :) without it being 1000 calories and 40 grams of fat. [/quote] I don't know about their recipe but if you use a little water 1/2 to 3/4 cup to dissolve the powder then add ice cubes then let it sit for a few min…

My husband works to gain and I work to lose. We have the same protein powder. Body Fortress Whey Protein (got it at Walmart) I use one scoop with water 130 cal. He uses 2 scoops in milk and peanut butter 620 cal. We just fight over which flavors to use. I recommend this over slim fast or their knock-offs because they have…

since I'm a night owl I go with the idea of stopping eat about 2 hrs before I go to bed. If I stopped eating at 6pm, midnight would have me starving and eating whatever I could get my hands on.

Ok, I started this post and after reading it thru (and getting the kids out from under my feet...) I'm guilty of #3 not getting enough sleep. #6 skipping meals, tho its usually a skipped meal bc only junk is available #7 eating too fast--if there are other teachers out there, geez! we have 20 min to walk kids some where,…

I just had sweet &spicy tuna with bread & butter pickles. It was quite yummy!

me: Sandra Bullock (but I get to stay busty) his: i like what i've got--my man looks like an underwear model, mmmm my playground, mma training has its benefits but Matthew McConaughey is really hot too :) truly what I don't like about my body is scars & stretch marks, wish there really was a way for them to go away.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM guacamole!!! That is one of my fave foods that no one else in the house eats. SO I DON'T HAVE TO SHARE! :tongue: Tonight is a mexican deer burrito. Its a variation of mexican crockpot chicken, but I used deer tenderloin instead. Roll it in a taco shell, cover with a sprinkle of cheese, ff sour cream, lettuce…

I also want to add, that if he's a chef....imagine how wonderful it would be to have one place in town that cooked on the light side and had good food????? I'd eat there all the time, but sadly I don't live any where near that! Pretty much just mexican places around here or fast food. This could be his culinary future! At…

Do this for yourself and when you need support--look here. If he can't be your man and support you, find friends who will! And when he refuses to cook what you can eat, break out a frozen 350 cal frozen dinner and eat it instead of what he "slaved over". Ha!! Show him that this matters to you and if you matter to him, he…

I agree its way better than quitting. I'm on my second time of losing this weight and I know there have been so many others in this same boat supporting me on here!! Good luck!

I'm making myself eat more off & on for a few days and changing my workout, even took today off from heavy workout, just light normal house/yard stuff today. I really hope this works! I've only got weight to lose! LOL

funny you should say that....I was working out the other day and realize the Umbro shorts I had on were from high school. Thats in the 20-22 yr range. :laugh: they are just so comfy! My someday clothes?? Well I've got a closet of size 6 that stares me every time I open the door. There is a small selection of 8/10 pants…

I'm finding when I do the 30DS I have to modify all jumping and lunges or the next two days are rough. I have knee issues so it wasn't a surprise. I toughed it out for a few weeks at first and only caused so much knee pain that just walking was a problem and I had to lay off all exercise for a while. I'm in agreement with…

That's when I play farmville :laugh:
