My professor is about 57 and tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago. She mixed with water, unsweetened cacoa and coconut oil in the morning. She used water, cinnamon and avacado oil in the afternoon and evening. She did the emergency bikini diet. I think seven days of almased and vegetable broth. However, she used…

no doubt ... I see anywhere from 3-5 water retention on average, but it goes way down if I'm drinking a lot of water in the week ahead of time ...

What I love about the 10 Min Trainer DVD is the lack of excuses - it is easy, in your living room - 10 Minutes. Ideally, I take 10 minutes a couple times a day when I am studying ... Like all things, you get out what you put in .. . Combining (and re-combining) the 10 minute workouts into a unique series of 30 40 50 or 60…

I know they are out there ... I saw a lot of progress reports at the end of the year by people that lost 90 lbs just last year alone. I was totally inspired!

This answers here are consistently good answers. Eat them and lose. If I go more than 4-5 days without meeting my calorie goals, my weightloss tends to slow down. My doc said if I make it a point to go over every 4-5 days (including exercise calories), I will keep my body from adapting to the lower calories and keep the…

You seem to have the right mind set, and seeing how other people handle it may give you some ideas for the future. When I was on WW, we had an extra alotrment of points that we could build up or save for binges as long as it was used within seven days ... So figuring that you have a few more days to balance it back out ...…

It is in the databasse for a reason. I am generally sedentary, but yesterday I packed up all the Christmas stuff, that involved a lot of reaching and squatting. Lifted and carried heavy boxes up and down stairs, and did an extra extra thorough, very unusual, vaccuum, mopping of the living room to get rid of the pine…

Talking to my doctor, he suggested maintenance calories every 4-5 days He explained that you need to find a spot where you are maintaining ... not gaining or losing ... to "reset" your body's metabolism. Your body will start holding onto calories if it is not getting enough to operate every day. And when we are trying to…

I was at WW for months before I came here. The thing that jumped off the page to me was the "free" foods (certain vegetables) ... ie food you can eat as muh as you want on WW ... here those calories count, but they are usually very very small unless eaten in large large quantities. Otherwise, both rely on the concept of…

Netflix has a lot of videos that I stream, so it gives me the no excuses because I'm bored.

I just went and read the Dr. Oz 48 hour cleanse and it looks like a healthy mix of fruits and vegetables for two days ... If you choose to do this, this looks like a safe way to go ... Check it: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/48-hour-weekend-cleanse?page=6#copy

Re: This being a success story. I think it is a sucess if you can admit to yourself and others the shortcomings that need correcting. So, yes, it is a success for everyone here that replies. I am overweight because I quit smoking, ate too much, started a relationship and ate out alot without thinking about it ... drank too…

Sounds to me like you are already doing all the right things, therefore, if something doesn't give: I, also, would suggest consulting a doctor. My girlfriend had similar symptoms for a while, then BAM, she ended up in the hospital with a total blockage. Better to catch it early BEFORE it turns into something serious.

Funny you should ask .. since I did not get it up and decorated until the 20th, I figured that I would leave it up a little longer. Will come down over the next couple days.

I have streaming Netflix .. and there are a lot of free workout videos for me to try; I recently started 10 minute pilates and like it Time, money, and workout boredom are no longer an excusel. I also borrowed a copy of Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer ... really pushes me for the 10 minutes. If you have Netflix ... take…

I also try to walk or swim ... weather permitting. I cannot do any jogging/running/jumping because of a lifelong battle with rheumatism that have ravaged my…

Did the quit smoking ... gain weight thing. I wish I would have focused on all aspects of a healthy lifestyle rather than letting 35 lbs creep on over 4 years. 25 is gone ... 17 of that during my journey on this site. This is a great place ... Welcome and Enjoy!

I am chiming in with the rest of the crew ... Start logging now, then you can see the choices you are making and start tweaking. I like to think of it as making small changes to a healthier lifestyle, rather than a diet; that way it doesn't seem so overwhelming. Drastic changes can be harder to maintain. Good luck!
-
First advice ... Re-examine the way you look at this. Mindset matters. Instead of "diet and exercise" ... Think "healthy lifestyle" ... and all the change will be towards that heathy lifestyle.. Even though I am on and off of here and my progress is slow, it is much easier to maintain my weight and not slip backwards, when…

Over forty ... stayed on for a couple months and lost 17 pounds ... dropped out a couple months, gained back 2 pounds... And here I am again, to pick up where I left off and get moving in the downward trend again. Feel free to add me ... I need someone to ask where the hell I am when I disappear too! And will do the same…

I too am re-MFPing after a break ... I only gained back 2 lbs before I said Whoaaa! and jumped back on the horse ... I did so well when I was being accountable! Final exams etc sucked my time and I got lazy, but I too ... am back. You might want to try replacing some cheese with Veggie Slices and Veggie Shreds from Galaxy…
