Hey guys! I am Anastasia, I am 23 years old. I lost 50lbs through MFP but than fell of the wagon and gained 30lbs back...Basically I burned myself out, it's depressing sorta cause I could have surpassed my goal weight by now if I hadn't taken the last 4 months off, but you live and you learn! Anyway I am here back to get…

Oh man 30 Day Shred drains the life out of me >.< I can't even move or do anything after I am done. I do love Turbo Jam though, that's a routine I can enjoy and stick too :P

It wouldn't have been offensive if they put a size requirment for men as well...I mean it's only fair if they get to get girls with great bods than so should we. Or even better next speed dating title should be "Speed Dating Event: Size 6 **** Need Not Apply", lolz jk jk

You don't have to stress at all in fact, some people never hit a plateau, but many people do and don't care. If you mix up your diet and exercise than you won't to worry about hitting a plateau. It's just some people eat the same and exercise the same ways a lot, after a while the body gets used to it and they hit a…

bet you anything the birth control effects the amounts of flactuations in weight, I guess different bodies respond differently. You're first person I met whose weight varies by as much as mine. The most I ever recorded to this day is 12lbs! So insane!

Aww, yay! So glad people are still finding this post useful!

I actually have to agree with this,I was the only child until I got adopted at 11, my parent already had a daughter and adopted a boy too. My sister is 13 yrs older and my brother is 4 years older, both moved out of the house before I really got to bond with them on that level. I only see them on holidays as well, and…

^^ Definitely regret these too. I had to learn the hard way the importance of good credit and value of a great body.

My biggest regret is taking 3 months off my diet, I gained 20lbs, if I hadn't taken all those months off I would have been at my goal weight by now. On bright side I learned exactly not what to do when I am maintaining and learned not to push myself to the brink of burning myself out.

As pain as it might be, I would email the teachers and have them email you the assignments for the week. Every day make sure she completes them. If she refused take the TV/internet/phone. When I was in high school I slacked up till the 10th grade, the only reason I got a 2.23 GPA was because I didn't do my homework (not…

I've totally looked into these and did search by zip but no luck. I will look into these you provided :) Thank you!!

If I had a car than it wouldn't have been a problem, too bad I don't :( oh well! :)

I am Russian, people often assume I am a communist (probably wouldn't live in this country if I was), people also often assume I am "mad" at them or at something because russians supposelty always "look" pissed off when really aren't.

anyone?

anyone? :(

Thanks everyone, these are great tips! I am going to follow your guy's advice, hopefully with that and lil determination I will be able to get myself up to workout in the AM :)

Totally! My shoes started becoming super loose and other that we were tight started fitting good. I am loving it, makes shoe shopping slightly easier!

I have done that before, it's pretty delicious!

Ouch, althought it's a cool spot for a piercing I am not a fan of it, that sort of piercing will f*** the teeth of whoever get's it. My bf had lip ring in the center, it chipped away parts of his teeth over time and they became very sensitive, so he had to take it out. And this piercing will be directly rubbing against the…

1. You're muscles are getting bigger and righer so it's raising your butt -so it looks bigger 2. You're losing weight around thighs/hips so your *kitten* is begining to stand out and look bigger. Although I lost some of my boobs after 50lbs, my bf said they look bigger, but it's all because there is less fat above and…

You look fantastic in it. If you're comfortable in it than should definitely wear it out. Just make sure to wear right underwear and anything else, but the dress looks really great on you!

It's not the cake that made them lose weight, they stayed within their calorie goal for losing weight, however it helped in the long term because people who ate cake didn't gain back 22lbs the other group did, in fact they kept losing weight, another 15lbs. Also they ate SMALL piece of cake, it's not like thats all their…

cheesecake or Baja Chicken Burrito, yummm

Same here!

with my HRM I burned 160-220cals (full 26mins), less the more I did it, I am 5'7, was 190lbs. After my experience with 30 Day Shred I am going to jump a leap and recommend something you will love doing and will burn way more calories... I recommend getting Turbo Jam: 5 Rocking workouts on amazon, it comes with 2 bonus…

I have noticed that too, sometimes I will wake up and weight myself and than an hour later I weight less by .4 to 1.5lbs depending how long I go without eating in morning... strangest thing...not sure how that happens...maybe when you wake up your body starts using the water more? I unno :P

aww glad this could help! :smile: I wish I could back and change the carb information, reducing carbs can help, it has worked for a lot of people on here (I have read through countless threads), it's kind of like switching up your diet, anytime you make changes it tricks your body. Carb Cycling (google it) is also…
