Also congrats on the 8 lbs lost! That's awesome!

I'd definitely make sure you eat at least 1200 cals a day. Just have a handful of almonds with blueberries and an apple, there ya got 200 more healthy calories :) But I am so not an expert btw. Also, I can recommend anything that Jillian Michaels has written!!

Oh and also, if you're already up but still contemplating about starting the workout, drink a glass of cold water, that'll wake you right up and energize you. Good luck!

I am currently trying the same thing (with moderate success so far ha). What has helped me before is to put in my workout DVD and lay out my workout clothes the night before. So when I wake up (and walk across the room to turn off my alarm, like the first post suggested), I see my clothes laying there and I have to think…

you look amazing! Like a completely different person.

Yes, naked. Same goes for swimming, and sometimes cooking. People need to be naked way more often. In our house we have naked Sundays at least once a month.

Yoga pants tight Jeans with a simple white t-shirt and I have a thing for a cute girl in a vest

^I think you put it perfectly into words, thank you so much! I might have to print that out and hang it above my desk ha.

You look so much younger and happier! Amazing job. Plus, I am digging those leggings, gurl!!

oh yes, absolutely! you have a smaller face and you look younger! WTG! Keep at it :)

WOWZAA

I have a fiance and we are in a wonderful open relationship. We are emotionally very very committed to each other but we luckily are that great of a match that we actually love to think about our partner being with someone else. I'm also bi and right now I'm dating this girl and that brings so much more fun into mine and…

Amazing work!! Way to go!

I'm a fellow peeler! My mom taught me that when I was young. Don't know if it's a cultural thing? I'm from Germany.

AMAZING!! You have a lot more dedication that a lot of us do. And you can be so incredibly proud of yourself. How great to realize that you had all this strength within you. Thank you for sharing and keep up the amazing work!

I just started this Monday so I'll be a week ahead but I would love to be part of a group, too!!

yum!!

AMEN sister!!!

THANK YOU! Bumpy bump

Perfect!! Just what I was looking for! Thanks a million for this post. One remark about eating back exercise calories. I am following the TDEE -20 method which brings me around 1600 cals per day with a moderately active lifestyle (working out 3-5 times a week). Now I like logging my workouts on here because I can track…

I am in no way an expert but you said that MFP set you a goal calorie intake of 1330 and by looking at your diary for the last week (that's how far I've only looked) it looks like you're eating more than that. Maybe you have to restrict your eating a little bit more? I also wonder about how you log your exercise because I…

I have no clue but always have been interested! So bumpy bump.

OMG. I think if there was the "worst advice award", your example would win. Not eat AT ALL??? Yeah cause who needs Calories and Energy to like ..live..totally out of style.

Thank you guys so much! This helps a ton. I know that there are huge forum posts about exactly this. I just couldn't seem to find them. This gives me exactly the information I need!!

anyone?

Here are my results from way back :) I'm doing Ripped in 30 now and am LOVING it! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/305581-30-day-shred-before-and-after-pictures

^ I agree. Actually, it can also be the case that frozen vegetables have even more nutrients than fresh ones. They are being frozen right after they were picked whereas fresh veggies are sitting sometimes several days in the grocery store until you come and pick them up.

I love cucumber salad with some balsamic vinegar or grey poupon mustard..yum!! Or I munch on bell peppers. My favorite is orange. One bell pepper is like 40 cals but if you cut it in stripes it takes a while to eat it and it's fresh and kinda sweet and the water makes you feel full. If nothing else helps I go to my freezer…

Also, your pics just now showed up and you look AMAZING!!!! Great job!
