once in a while i have sugar free life savers and sugar free werthers (love) they are very good and 30-40 calories per serving.

this actually reminds me of the Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism video, but without having to watch the video....

bump.... interesting.... I would like to see other peoples input!!

ive had 2. One pre prego one after. love it. no gains from it either.

I wasnt really overweight when i got prego... I only gained 15 lbs and lost it right after delivery. (i gained weight after going through "the divorce" in combination with bad eating and alcohol drinking habits during the depression stage!!) My pre prego and after prego was normal. I am now a little under that and want to…

I do jillians and other workouts with 3-5 lb weights to start out

Great Job! you look way toned... gives me inspiration to keep working out!!

I would suggest eating more healthy foods more often thought the day to get all your calories in. Maybe protein shakes would help? they have soy, whey, and egg whites depending on your dietary tolerances. Also maybe switch out all bad foods for good foods, like the white bread for whole wheat/whole grain bread. Maybe add…

protein shake powder in skim milk or some peanut butter!!

Thats exactly it... If i eat an apple (i love) and say a glass of skim milk i will already be over !!

I do the same rubbermade 1 quart- I know i must drink 2 per day. Now I end up drinking about 4 per day!! ( i reach for water now instead of food )

I am very motivated to exercise right now... i have 10 lbs left to go and have never been more motivated.... the way I see it is that I better take advantage of my motivation now and get into the habit of working out since I will have to continue to maintain !!

Again, depends on your skin elasticity. I know many who have lost and have had no huge issue with their skin, BUT, for me at age 21 i went from 255 to 135 and my skin was saggy!!! i had an arm lift and tummy tuck just to look "normal" lol. My Dr said if there are stetch marks than all elasticity is gone in that area and…

Leslie Sandsone (sp?) walk away the pounds (walmart has them) they are easier to do and you can do a 1-5 mile (15-45 min i believe) they are really good without being too intense.

protein shakes with milk, berries, or peanut butter are a good option !!

I got it a week or so ago and really love it. It is a good workout. I did not like the biggest loser DVDs but i like Jillians.

I wouldnt dare do P90x myself.... im doing Jillian's DVD's and they are hard work! I really like them and if they get too "easy" ill move up from there. for reference i'm 147 down from 181.

I didnt read ALL the posts, but i wanted to say I think taking one step at a time is great.... starting with calories and exercise... then pinpointing everything else and what works for you, your weight loss etc. Personally I have problems with carbs (addicting to me, eating too many and gaining etc). I focus on getting…

What kind of diet are you doing?

hated regular green tea, but I like Chai Green Tea and Yogi Green Tea because it covers up the grassy flavor.

I just started MFP this week!! Reading other posts I have found - Western Bagel- at walmart 110 cal Thomas thin bagel- at smiths (kroger) 110 cal Thomas 100 calorie wheat english muffins i made a 182 calorie egg mc muffin with 2 egg whites, 1/2 oz of cheese, and the 100 cal english muffin- was delicious!! the bagels with…

Also- can you guys tell me how many calories your HRM's are saying you burned.... i bought a HRM but want to make sure its working properly! TIA!!

I just started day 1 level 1 today!! i also bought the metabolism and the trouble zones dvd's that are 50 min total too. Very Excited!!

Ive always mixed my vodka with different crystal lights for only 60 something calories!!!

well, i agree that sugars are not too great for anything anyway, so whole grains, veggies, proteins, etc is common sense to me. that dosnt seem too extreme- like no grains, no fruits, stay under this, stay under that... you know?
