Honestly, I have lost weight eating Subway and so has my mom. We split a foot long veggie delight and add our own sauces (she always does but sometimes I get theirs on the side...sweet onion or the buffalo sauce...and monitor how much goes on it). When we were in PA Dutch country last August I could not monitor and track…

Congratulations!!!! That is awesome! You have just inspired me to pull my 30 Day Shred back out and give it REAL go this time around! Thanks!!

Love Cracklin' Oat Bran but way too many calories ..... I guess my favorite is actually Quaker Crunchy Corn Bran. 90 calories for 3/4 cup (w/o milk) and high in fiber. :smile:

I really need to get back into mine, too, so yeah, I'm in! It will help me get on the right track with my goal to REALLY being doing 30 DS through December and lose at least 10 lbs or become more trim and slim by mid January!

I would suggest nuts but also adding quinoa to your diet may be very helpful for you. It is VERY high in protein and a great recommendation for anyone eating vegan or vegetarian. Many of my vegetarian friends eat quinoa on a regular basis and some who are vegetarian who had never heard of it before have joined the…

I'm sorry no one around you believes it. If I hadn't seen it on myself and my girlfriend I might not have believed it myself. I was on Depo from 1995-1998. I saw my doctor Dec of 1998 and told her then I no longer wanted to be on DP. After that time my husband and I just used other methods of contraception (never got…

Sounds great!! I don't have any of the gaming systems so I just go with the regular 30 Day Shred and I just got JM's Ripped in 30 Days that I want to start in December.

I, too, gain quite a bit of weight after starting on Depo Provera. After I stopped I was able to lose weight doing Atkins but I know the regain was due to stresses in my life that I had no control over. But, yes, there can be significant weight gain while on Depo. I had a girl friend who also put on weight after starting…

Yes, I have found that if I am at least hitting my 1200 calories the weight comes off. Since I am very active because of my work I find that between that and workouts that I can end up with 200-400 extra calories available on top of my 1320 that I have each day. I know that if I can at least hit the 1200-1400 calories I…

I got mine at Target. Sometimes they have sales on their fitness DVDs. You could check there, too.

I suppose I would have to say for vanity reasons, however, my BMI and weight were over the healthy ranges and I wanted to lower those to be healthier. I also decided to make changes for health reasons since my mom was put in the hospital and ended up having to open heart cardiac bypass surgery back in May. It made me…

I wear them under my clothes, especially to work. (I work as a server in a restaurant.) I have noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit but I also have noticed that they have helped with losing inches around my hips and thighs. I also love the feel of knowing that they are working just as hard as I am to lose weight!…

Welcome! And glad you decided to join. It has been the only thing that has really helped me and I've lost over 13 pounds since starting in July (with some time off of my logging because of vacation).

I eat my exercise calories but not necessarily all of them. There are times when I just am not hungry enough to finish them all and so I don't feel guilty if I leave between 200-400 calories after having figured in my exercise. I have continued to lose weight and have not hit a plateau and my recent bmr went down after I…

I don't know that it "works" but I have found that it has helped me to feel full. I usually get the veggie delight sub and add any sauce or seasoning on my own so I can control how much I use. Some times I will switch it up and get the oven roasted chicken sub, but I still load it with veggies and add the sauce on my own.…

I agree that the most accurate would be a heart rate monitor, but on the Jillian Michaels website she does have it broken down much like items are broken down for exercise on here. If you don't have an account with her I'm not sure if you can use the tool or not. If you find you cannot, message me privately and I can log…

Thanks for the insight. I just recently signed up for Jillian Michaels online and have her 30 Day Shred Program (sadly I haven't been doing it since mom had to go have surgery and I live with her ...). I noticed that when I would log exercise and food it told me that I "earned" X number of calories from my exercise and if…
