I actually gained 2 pounds my first week. but it was weird, i lost those last weekend, then today i'm back up. so i dont' know what that's all about. i'm wondering if i'm not getting enough cals in the week so it makes my body in starvation mode and i'm not losing weight. because this weekend i didn't exactly go over my…

Hi All, Well my weekend went good. it was the first time in well, ever, that i stayed within my cal. and exercised! Actually exercising 6 days in a row last week was a first also. i'm so proud of myself. Today is Week 2, Day 1. I think i have Core tonight. i'm feeling a little poopy for whatever reason, maybe b/c it's a…

I freakin' LOVE that! I actually just LOL at my desk. thanks for making my afternoon! And Dom-I love to drink too. I grew up in a huge alcohol-loving family, and my college days were definitely spent having plenty of 'good times' at the local bars. I love beer. I love wine. I love margaritas. And i'm not ashamed to admit…

I'm having the same problem with the nutrition part. First I think 1260 is too low for all the work you're doing. i usually eat around 1600, but have upped it to the 1800. You should at least get that. if in a week you're gaining a bunch of weight, then move down a few 100 cal. but if you are too low it will cause you to…

AW-Yes thanks! I looked at the scale this morning and it's still going up. I was a little nervous. But i'm just going to keep reminding myself what you said, and worry about the weight later. :flowerforyou:

Can I just say WOW. just did Cardio X. holy moly. But I loved it. So much fun. it's Arms and ABX tomorrow. i don't know if my abs can take any more!!:noway: Still having trouble with my nutrition, i went over today, but mostly b/c I had a donut. But i think i'm going to incorporate more protein powder and that will help…

Morning everyone! I was wondering how everyone is doing with the nutrition part of this program? I generally eat pretty healthy so that's not the problem. but i started on Phase 1 (Fat Shredder), Level 1, and am having a terrible time getting all my protein and my calories. I mean, i planned my meals out today and still…

adlopez-Absolutely! I'm in. I need motivation too. i just started tonight. WOW. i already feel it and like you, i thought it was awesome. can't wait to do the next work out!

WEll, i'm starting tonight....for the very first time doing P90X EVER! I'm a little scared, but after reading everyone's posts, i've got a little more confidence. The hardest part for me is going to be sticking with it every day. i hate to exercise. i mean really hate it. but i know i need to get into better shape, so…

ok tried this last night.....DELICIOUS! I made a few changes: -Used ground venison instead of beef -used 4 tortilla's instead of 6 -had to use reg. taco seasoning b/c we didn't have low sodium -only used 1/5 c. of salsa -and didn't put the sour cream in the casserole, but added 2 T on my portion at the table -added .5 c.…

Thanks for the offer, but I would really prefer for that those extra lbs continue to stay lost in the mysterious void where they belong. I am sad that they are all alone now and don't have my body to keep them company, but I have confidence that they will be ok on their own! :laugh:

ooooh, i'm definitely trying this!

And personally, i didn't lose any weight for a really long time, and could not figure out why. Well then I decided to be completely honest with…

Way to go on all your successes!!!!!

Thanks everyone! :flowerforyou: I just love the support here!!!!!

I just wanted to shout this to the roof tops! I've lost 9 lbs already! After going soooo long w/o losing anything (mainly b/c I was kidding myself when i entered the amount of food/cal. i was eating), finally I have lost! I was entering in food that I ate, but not the right amounts and then I would drink on the weekends…

Although I absolutely LOVE Dave's answer, what i've been doing that has helped me a ton is I keep a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the freezer and then take a TBS or two out and munch on them...slowly. I don't just pop the whole handful in my mouth at one time, kinda defeats the purpose. But those little guys aren't…

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone also. I'm getting married next fall and had NO clue about the whole wedding/bridal registaring thing. You guys helped tons! :flowerforyou:

O M Goodness these sound D...Lic....ious!!!!! I'm going to make them this weekend!

Just thought I'd chime it a little. I brought a roast beef sandwich for lunch today (I hardly ever have a sliced meat sandwich, but we had nothing else in the fridge) and thought that it would be mildly healthy.....WRONG! There is 550mg of SODIUM per 2 slices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:noway: That is freakin' ridiculous! So…

I graduated in Photography, was a Pro for 2 years (kinda still am, but as a hobby, for friends) Now: Graphic Designer/PrePress Print Tech (technical name) I digitally design aerospace instrument dials,scales,signs,etc. and then print them with a huge *kitten* printer. This has never been done before and I just started 2.5…

Do a search for "plateau" threads on here, and you will get a LOAD of info. i've been at one too for about 9 months! Finally I think it's my fat intake, i was getting too much.

I got mine at my local Dillons grocery store....someone else has found it at Walmart (i think) and also Sam's is a place to find it in bulk (3 packages) for cheaper.

i actually brought some for a lunch snack today, (sorry petunia that you didn't :flowerforyou: )........... Is it bad that i want to lick the little wrapper after I've eaten most of the cheese?! :laugh: :blushing:

so like most people on this thread.....I had never tried the LC before, until last night! After reading everyone's posts I went to the store and bought the french onion AND the swiss and went home and put them on reduced fat triscuits........NUM YUMMY!!!! I even made one for my…

this is awesome! (Well not losing the last 20 part, but everyone having the same or similar issues that i have!) I've been trying to lose ANYTHING since last July. I've gained a few, lost a few (water weight :grumble: ), then gain a few since then :explode: But never have lost anything "real' since July. And could NOT…

Yummmm, Yummy Yum, Yum!!!! I just made this, used chicken breast instead of thighs.........DELICIOUS!

Thanks again everyone for their posts and advice! I really appreciate it. I going to try and cut back, because I do want to lose weight, and that takes precidence over beer. But everyone has their vises, mine is I love to have a beer or two (or more) on the weekends. It's just what I like and what i chose to do. I know…

I do agree, if some of you think that 15 a weekend is a lot......whew, you don't even want to know what I drank in college. :noway: (at least 4 TIMES that!) That is why I have all this extra weight I to lose:explode: ....thank you Aggieville (college bar district) for making my life an amazing party 3 years ago, but now I…
