Regina George: "I want to lose 3 pounds" Mean Girls: "What are you talking about, you look great!" Regina George: "Shut up!"

@ Doug I need to see more body!!

My suggestion is to eat less processed foods. Your sodium is really high. Also work on lowering carbs and getting more healthy fats and protein.

Invest in a good HRM. The machines & the MFP database are both grossly inaccurate. For example, I did a machine last night which told me I burned over 100 calories more than my HRM said. Then when I went to log it MFP gave me about 100 calories less than my HRM.. so investing in one is a great idea!

I've done all kinds of workout dvd's, but I find the ones that mix up the workouts were easier to stick with as I didn't get tired of them easily. Jillian Michaels 30DS is a great beginner program, but you do each level for 10 days.. therefore, you have to listen/do the same thing for that amount of time before changing. I…

wow, you look great! :flowerforyou:

Your a reall smart *kitten*!!

Just go. Nothing to it but to do it! At first I was self-conscious because of my weight and speed. I starting jogging about 3 months ago at around 220 pounds. I could barely jog to the end of the block. I’m now 199 and jog almost daily. I can go at least a mile without stopping. I don’t think I would have built that…

I'll be 30 in 4 months.. is that good enough?!?

Congrats on getting started! I just started Saturday as soon as I got it in the mail! I'm excited to see what this brings. If anyone wants to add me, feel free!

You've achieved perfection!!

Your comments are appriciated :) However, I know what I'm doing. Thanks again.

My knees are fine.. Haven't had a problem in the year I've been doing this. Good shoes/support are key :drinker:

I've done 30DS & I'm on day 3 of Insanity. I would suggest Insanity becuase its more high impact. The sessions are longer, but you burn more calories. I think that I will get a better result with this program; although, 30DS & RI30 are great dvd's to have in your collection. ETA: Regardless of which video you choose you…

What does your diet look like. You will get better answers with an open diary. I've been jogging 3-4 times per week for a few months now and have lost. Started jogging around 220, now I'm 199. I also modified my diet as well, eating lower carbs, more protein and healthy fats and lowering my sodium and sugar intake.

I would have never thought of this. Thanks!

Congrats, looking good!

If you got "doctor" approval why are you asking us.. And what exactly are you asking?

It took me awhile to get used to the texture. I love it now, and it's the only yogurt I eat. I would suggest buying it plain and adding your own toppings. Chobani has been my favorite brand. I hated Okios. I haven't tried Fage yet. I find it best plain with a packet of sweetener, with honey, with strawberries and almonds,…

This is just my opinion after looking at your diary: You need to eat more. Do some research and find your BRM. Eat at or slightly above that amount. Also find your TDEE. Eat about 10-20% less than that number, which should be round the same number as your BRM to indicate your eating the correct amount of calories. Cut…

If I had little boobies I would NEVER wear a bra :drinker:

you & your tats look amazing :drinker:

Nothing works for EVERYONE!! However, the concept has changed my life and allowed me to lose more weight than I did only consuming 1200 calories. I suggest it, but always do your own homework & try different things to find out what works best for you

<That was EXACTLY my status update & new profile pic yesterday. I can't see my progress looking in the mirror, but I've obviously made changes. I highly recommend doing side by side photos. I keep them posted in the office & around the house for motivation as well Great progress, you look amazing!!

I purchased that sportsline one.. took it back two days later!! I LOVE Wal-mart, but they are NOT the place to buy a good HRM! You need to spend more to get a better quality. Polar is a great brand, I have the FT7 and have no complaints. Think about it as if you were buying a car. Do you want a Pinto or a Lexus?.. spend…

THIS!!!!

I didn't lose weight in my boobs until recently. They are still big, but I went from an H cup to a EE. Hopefully I don't lose too much more, I kind of like these fun bags!

WOW!!!! You look like a whole new person!

wow, great job!

I MUST log in the morning so I have a guideline for the day. Otherwise I will be lost/confused and just eat crap
