Hi everyone, I started on Jan 3 but had a little breakdown yesterday, however I'm going to keep plugging along and plan to start again on Feb 1 ... Just looking for some friends following the same plan for some support! :)

To remove my makeup (including waterproof mascara!!) I use extra virgin olive oil :)

Hello everyone! Been trying this for a few months now, still have trouble when the fiance brings snacks in the house- night time snacks are my weakness. I definitely feel much better inside since cutting out the majority of grains and stuff though! I am more on the Primal side than full-on Paleo, i like the 80-20 rule :)

If this is true then i find it totally insane that any customer would ever ask a server or anyone else to do that for them....... WOW WOW WOW People blow my mind!

Don't have this problem but am dying to know what it means to "scoop" a bagel!!

Still pondering this and isn't it mind blowing how these comments worm their way into our brains and our hearts and determine the type of person we will become? I mean seriously, how many of us still carry these around from 15-20+ years ago? I think I am who I am based on the insults I took when I was a kid. Act as strong…

Oh MY. I only read the first page and these are super depressing. Luckily, I don't have anything like that minus the cruel kids picking on the little fat girl (my childhood), and maybe a remark made by my aunt about my chubby 11/12 year old self in a one piece bathing suit "Are you sure you want those seconds"?? But for…

Batch cooking all the way! Every Sunday I make a giant batch of something, and I freeze individual portions for my lunches *could be for suppers also* ... for example I spent like 2-3 hours this weekend making a huge batch of meat and veggie chili, I've made spaghetti sauce with spaghetti squash, soups, etc. I used to be…

mmm...bump for later :)

Inside Frozen Mother's Day remake (I haven't seen the original but the remake was GOOD) The Strangers Orphan May (as someone else said) Event Horizon (creeped me out back in the day, weird space movies usually do, but i haven't watched it as an adult so not sure if it actually sucks at this point) Troll Hunter (it's…

yum! bumping to try tomorrow maybe!

Miracle whip has a fat free version but that's not a "real" mayo... Not sure about hot chocolate but I've never seen fat free cheese, except the processed slices type. I noticed when at the walmart and Hannafords in Bangor, Maine that those damn Americans not only have better prices And brands for fashion type shopping,…

good job everyone

Monday Aug 15 - 7 cups water / 1089 sodium / 75 min exercise Tues Aug 16 - 8 cups water / 2317 sodium / 70 min exercise Wed Aug 17 - 10 cups water / 5312 sodium OOPS / 45 min exercise Thurs Aug 18 - 8 cups water / 3658 sodium / 75 min exercise Fri Aug 19 - 8 cups water / 2647 sodium / 60 min exercise and that's as far as I…

Thanks again everyone... I will try to stop eating all of my exercise calories and get a HRM to see where I really stand as far as that goes. Also, I'm not really a champion of drinking Slimfast.... I had some cans to get rid of and I've been using half of one each morning to make my breakfast smoothie which gives it some…

Thanks everyone for all the support and advice... I will definitely pick up a HRM in the near future because I suspect that may be a huge part of my problem with not losing anything. I think I will stick to eating back my exercise calories, however i don't think it would be a bad idea to have a few left over everyday to…

When I say "Shred" I'm talking about Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred :)

Thank you, you are probably right. MFP may be inaccurate and I'm allowing myself more calories than I should be, I will look into getting a HRM!

Thanks guys, my daily goal is 1350 calories and then with the exercise I do it brings me up to as much as around 2000 per day. That seems like a lot! The reason it's 1350 as a starting goal rather than 1200 is i found that when my goal was to lose 2lbs per week (HAHAHA, right?) i was having a hard time staying with the…

haha. nothing wrong with that at all!!

bump for later, this is just too much!!

I did this when I was new here, just thought it would be nice to have some likeminded people for support and inspiration on MFP, I tried the going it alone route and figured it might be beneficial to try it the other way. I didn't consider it begging though, just a call for some people with similar goals, like a support…

What an awesome story (I read the long version)... you're my new inspiration, i hope i can look as good as you do at 39 when i'm 29! (next year)

New Brunswick over here! :)

this looks great, bump for later!!

This thread makes me sad because I'm guilty of a lot of these things and it makes me realize how uncomfortable we all are in our own skin :/

I do the Shred, it's great, i think it's about a total body workout and I'm not 100% sure but I think Ripped is about putting on muscle? So maybe if you have some weight on you should try the Shred first and worry about getting ripped later? but i could be wrong since i've never tried the Ripped one before!

I actually GAINED 0.3lbs.. Here's hoping it's just muscle, my clothes aren't feeling any looser yet and i've been doing this for 3-4 weeks now, exercising at the gym, 30DS and TRYING to eat as well as I can without totally restricting myself to the point of misery So far this plan to lose 20lbs before Oct 1 isn't working…

Alright I actually managed to burn 550 calories today! The big weigh-in tomorrow morning - SCARY. (but only after I pee, hahah... people do that, right? or am i weird? i mean i drink tea before bed so that's gotta be like an extra 2lbs that I don't need, lol) Anyway good luck with your weigh-ins everyone!!

Anymore Canadians? :)
