My rest day is just when I am absolutely to busy to work out. Get home from work late, got something to take care of before bed etc .. I try not to let it be no more than 2 times in a 7day period though.. and I feel guilty if I have to do it twice to be honest.

Keep eating healthy and doing what you want to do to better yourself. The best thing that can happen out of that is he will get on the bandwagon with you. Don't pressure him, he has to be ready on his own accord. Just because someone wants to loose weight/or be healthy doesn't mean they are ready to loose weight/or be…

Omg that is awsome, I am going to remember this when i read that these gray pants are being thrown out for a new pair because they are falling off your BUTT!!! Awsome work!

Check out the recipe I just posted for Raita Sauce with Beef. I think it would be a great sauce on chicken as well. Maybe it will be something for you.

I like to just peel fresh pomegranate, and put the seeds in cottage cheese. Its one of my favorite snacks when they are in season.

I haven't had those, but ordered some of those vita tops from the add that flashes sometimes on here and I hear they are great. They are 100cal and full of fiber and other good stuffs :) I will have to look into thsese brownies.

wow! great work! I can't wait to be the person posting, thank you so much for the pics.. nice bod! :)

get rid of them, get rid of them, get rid of them! If you gain a few pounds back believe me it will encourage you to get back on track. You WILL NOT want to go buy bigger clothes again. BUT! If you already have the bigger clothes to go back into you will just put those on and keep on the self destructive path your on... I…

I would love to hear back if anyone tries it. I enjoyed them alot. If people seem to like these recipes from this book, I will make it a point to cook one every weekend with any changes I made to make it leaner and post it up. Thanks for the bumps :)

Hey thats good! concentrate on your sodium intake since you started dieting. If you are eating more packaged meals then you probably have increased your sodium. Try drinking more water if thats the case. You may be keeping some of the water weight which is replacing any fat you are shedding. Just a thought.. I am all up…

Im going have lunch at a cafe in uptown new orleans with a coworker/MFP buddy. I even made sure I did my exercise this morning to prep for the extra calories. Hopefully, it won't to be hot and we can enjoy a nice stroll with some window shopping down Magazine street. :) Have a great day!

I have a term for it, "night grazing". I think lots of people do it. Its that time where you aren't ready yet to go to bed but its to late to really get involved in anything, so you need to keep your hands busy. Things I am doing to help pass this time, read a book, drink water with some crystal light in it to cure sweet…

Hot Girl! totally inspired! THANKS!

bump for someone thats lookin for the recipe :)

I have had the band, and I have had it for about 6 years now. I lost 75lbs. In the last 2 years I have gained some back, like some said earlier you can still cheat with the band. This was my thoughts going in for the band, I didn't want change the anatomy of my body plain and simple. I did not want anything cut out or re…

I have the same problem, and I really think that is where my biggest problem lies. I have even started to set daily goals for myself and today was no sweets.

I am 100% with you on this! This new focus is so positive for me... I have never been so aware of what I eat in my life. For the first time in my life I actually feel guilty if I miss a work out, before I would find an excuse not to work out. I have no idea what has changed in me but I definatly feel this website and all…

Its a difficult age for kids, I hope for the best for you and your family. Support her and keep family close. A quote that I use to live by when I was in my teens and still do today. "You can make your world as small as you want to or as big as you want to, its your choice." Show her all the reasons to make her world big.

Thanks for the pictures, you are doing a wondeful job! Keep the progress pics comming they are so inspirational for others.

Juicing is great, I have a wonderfull Brevile (sp) from bed bath and beyond. You are definatly getting the expected amount from juicing. You will get more juice out of things with pulp. What I like to do, due to the cleaning factor is juice about a 2qt container full and drink it through out the week or use it to cook with…

there are some great low calorie drink recipes online, you should just google it and experiment .. lots of them are nice cocktails with fresh berries etc .. nice for the summer weekends.

suggestions: eat slow gradually bring in solids don't drink to fast get a good blender/magic bullet protien shakes (use vanilla and add lots of berries, it will help fill you up with lots of good nutrients) learn quickly when eating out to order off the appetizer menu or get use to throwing away your food or taking it…
