Aww j, I feel so bad for you. When it rains it pours (literally too), here in my life, but you'll just get tough skin like I have now and almost learn to expect the worst. Then when things work out, the Shock and Awe of it all makes it that much better!:flowerforyou: Men-he sounds a bit like my hubby.:grumble: alapointe-I…

I've heard mixed reviews. I think it looks cool. I've been thinking about ProForms Incline Trainer that Jillian Michaels sponsors. Have you heard anything on that?

I've been stuck for a year!! Sabbotage myself of course. It's a new start for me and feeling good- let's do this together!:wink:

I'm on day 3 of behaving-no crap and late eve eating. I'm also I self proclaimed sugar addict. :grumble: So now, I eat maybe a fruit, or raw almonds, suck on a couple of sugar-free candies and drink water with crystal light. So far so good. Once I get through my "withdrawl"-haha, I'll start to slowly cut out the artificial…

They are just envious. Keep up the good work!:drinker:

Hey Rach-I wrote a huge post, poured my heart out, and you switched the thread!:tongue:

You guys did great-congrats! I'll weigh in next week for sure.TOM of course.Keep going, I'm still hangin there.:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

There is a website that you send your picture to, put in your goal weight and they send it back touched up. I deleted it, but maybe someone still remembers it here.:drinker:

Way to go Brad! j-I have had several needy, exhausting friends like that, and unfortunately you have to cut them loose for your own health.:flowerforyou: So here is my luck...be thankful you are not me.Yesterday, what could go wrong..did. From locking my keys in the running car, to getting hit in the drive thru of Tim…

It's dfinetly more than your reg foods. And when you're feeding 4 teens who don't care or want to follow...why spend on it. Maybe it depends where you live too.:drinker: Staying focused so far girls.

Weigh to go Ocean!:drinker:

Thanks for the education. I think Jillian is a bit over the edge on some things, and we all don't have the cash or staff to make and locate all this organic stuff for us. (I still can't find Greek Yogurt in the grocery store!) I'm trying gradually to switch better and better, but it's one step at a time! You're very…

Resistant bands are even more effective. Try those, they're cheap and you can do it at home. I've made a binder full off different programs and body part exercises from Fitness mags. I chart my progress-keeps me motivated and accountable.:drinker:

Shoulder press-all variations push ups-can't do due to injury-dang it! There are so many variations! Tricep Kickbacks Squats-all the variations Wall Sitting Roman Deadlift Lunge-all the variations,esp around the clock Bicep Curls-all variations:bigsmile: Arnold Press-180 degrees

I'll keep you posted.

I have an Omron-and love it! I wear it daily, and it'll show how many mile I walked also. I don't put it in, but know if I have a day I don't exercise, and overeat, at least I know in my mind that I did do something, and not to be as hard on myself. Plus the challenge is to walk 10,000 steps (5 miles) a day, right?:drinker:

Join a Challenge goup. The Blue team is a great team, we're all friendly and positive and alot of girls have seen results. There is also one that is losing by Halloween. That one is just starting. We've all set a goal for what we want to lose by Halloween. Then we post our weekly weights (either up or down). I've made a…

I have a recipe too. Cut into fry wedges put on cookie sheet sprayed with Pam Season with salt, paprika, chile powder, and cumin-mixed together. Try 1/2 tsp each, mix together and add more of what you like. Cook at 375 or so and flip, for about 15 min I think. They are not that crispy, but good. I added a cajun spice after…

Absolutely. And if it's healthy, like skim milk, which us ladies need our Calcium, I don't worry about it either. I had a better day today-got lots done today even though still sore. Shoulder is bad-still can't exercise! But, I ate very well today.:bigsmile: so I'm happy.

I think it was freeze a banana, add some milk and blend to like iceream consistancy. Not sure though. You'rs sounds awesome too though.

I've heard of this before, even years ago. I have 4 kids-all teens by now, but this has always worked for me as a parent-wrotten or not. BRIBERY works amazing for most things. Everytime she takes a crap, give her a sticker or whatever. 5 tickets, she gets to buy a toy or whatever. I bribed my kids with candy to go potty.…

Actually shape.com has a great description of where to measure also.:drinker:

I have had several surgeries over the last 2 yrs so I know these things. Walk, and Ab exercises especially every 2nd day, esp. till the surgery. After, continue with the walking and talk to the Doc for when you can lift weights. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

I'd like to see some other body pics of you. At 18 I was constantly trying new things and low cals to get smaller, but looking back all I needed was toning. It's taken me 2 years to really learn the Ins and Outs of this whole lifestyle change. Please read as much as you can, eat more-you're body will thank you, do cardio…

Well, I've weighed in...145.6, but it is PMS time. So 10.6 pounds to go!

Don't count your fruit sugars. Those are good sugars and are allowed. MFP doesn't sort good and bad sugars out. At least that I've heard most do. Is it weigh in day?

If this is a recent picture, you do not need to lose 86 lbs!

Way to go girls! I'm stifling here just waiting to get back into things.:grumble:

You need to come stay with me for a while and get some education. Don't you read the other threads about how important protein is and other nutrients? The more protein you build and have, the more fat it burns. There are some good fats that are recommended to eat such as olive oil, avocado, olives, nuts, that have Omega 3s…

500 is hard? What do you eat? Maybe you've got the wrong calorie info.:noway: I'm shocked you can survive on 500 cals. Am I the only one who thinks this? That's anorexia amounts...or do you mean 1500? I don't mean to lecture-I'm a Mom, I'm supposed to lecture:wink: ,but seriously that is such a small amount you don't…
