This is excellent advice, which I needed to hear too, thanks! :flowerforyou:

Great job everyone! I was totally not feeling it today but got off my butt and did P90X3 Total Synergistics. See you all tomorrow xoxo

My sister is exactly the same. She gets really bad migraines from it.

As long as we keep getting back up, we've got this xoxo

Some great tips here. I know when I started I was so unused to feeling hungry it scared me - I had to go through a whole process of learning to listen to my body and figuring out what it needed. It does get easier. Good luck to you :flowerforyou:

Yes, I find them beneficial. They allow me to go deeper into the push up and put less pressure on my wrists. I don't have the actual Powerstands though, just bought regular push up stands which were on sale at TK Maxx. I'm not good at military push ups and the stands really help with those.

Wow, great job! You must be really proud of him xo

Let's do this! xoxo

Just had a peek at your food diary and wondering if there are some errors in there? For example the Clover spread 1tsp has no calories but 140g of fat? That doesn't sound right to me, double check the nutrition info on the pack. Keep at it, best of luck to you :flowerforyou: (Edited because I realised someone else above me…

I agree with the others that it is a mindset thing. Second helpings are never as good as the first, anyway lol :flowerforyou: If I am in a 'blow it' kind of mood, and my husband brings lots of junk food home, I eat it. If I am feeling good and remembering why I want to do this, I don't eat it and it doesn't bother me. But…

Looking awesome! Great job xoxo

I couldn't bend over to paint my toenails. I never want to forget that, and how easy it is for me now to give myself a pedicure and not feel as if I am going to suffocate or pass out! There were many other indignities too: leaving a big sweat patch on plastic seats, not being able to walk and talk at the same time, being…

Yes, this. Obesity harms almost every part of the human body. Fat is not an inert tissue. As far as the OP, I think bikinis are a state of mind more than anything! And I have no problem with people wearing them, whatever their size :flowerforyou:

In order to keep the weight off we will have to do this for the rest of our lives, yes. You are doing great - feel free to add me as a friend if you need support and encouragement. I started at 225lbs and am now at 155, and I'm on here every day xoxo

Me too. In my experience, many guys are solution oriented: you presented a problem to him, and he offered a solution. Maybe what you needed from him was acknowledgement of your hard work/frustration, but you have to be your own cheerleader :flowerforyou: Keep doing what you are doing. Someone suggested walking in the mall,…

Thanks so much for posting that link! It is a really great article.

You look incredible! Great work! :drinker:

Me too! :tongue:

Yay, I'm in! Fridays is my usual weigh in day so it's perfect for me :smile: I lost 0.4lbs this week. I'm happy with that as last weekend I was away and just ate stupidly. So a loss is great! Good luck everyone xoxo

I've been here since 2011, and have lost 70lbs so far, I have about 20lbs to go. I'm on here every day and currently doing P90X3. Feel free to add me! Im 38, female and live in the UK xoxo

I'm a bit of a germ-phobic, so luckily this isn't an issue for me, but I have heard others who brush their teeth to avoid temptation - do you think this might work for you? Or a big cup of low-cal hot chocolate. Sorry, these aren't very good ideas but I didn't want to read and run :flowerforyou:

I always walk to the furthest bathroom at work, down three flights of stairs! I'm sure people think I'm odd, but I don't care - I build up to my 10,000 steps a day doing that! xoxo

I'm usually 4lbs heavier at night, so that might be all it is. Don't be discouraged :flowerforyou:

Fat and muscle are different things, so it isn't possible to 'convert' one into the other by exercising (or doing anything), unfortunately.

Hi everyone I'm planning to complete P90X3 - today is day 2! :smile: I also want to increase my walking.

Hello and welcome! :flowerforyou:

Love this idea. My goals are similar to many of yours! 1) Log every day and stay under my calorie goal 2) P90X 3 every day 3) Drink 8 cups of water 4) Practice mindful eating (don't eat my feelings)

P90X3 - today is day 1! It's awesome to be part of this group xoxo

Awesome! Me too, he cracks me up!

Great! Let's do this!
