I weigh myself daily. Its something I get excited to do. If I gain its okay because then next day itll go down. Its a comfort thing for me because before when I wouldnt weigh myself after weighing myself daily for so long I would gain beyond a weeks worth of repair. It helps me keep in check like "okay yesterday I did very…

It may sound like the opposite thing you should do but if you're retaining water your body is holding it in because it thinks you have a deficit of water so drink more water and you shouldn't retain it!

Week 5 and 6 got a little hairy for me but I stopped after that. I can run for 10 min straight, break and run for another 10 minutes in a 25 minute period so I'd say thats pretty darn good after all that.

I love the 17 day diet. It is proven to keep you from your dreaded plateau. Its 4 cycles at 17 days a peice. Last cycle is maitenance. I bet you can make your goal weight in record time with this. It takes a lot of determination and commitment but it works. I started to help begin my weight loss with around 25 lbs to lose.…

I think you should pump up on Vitamin C and if the weather isn't too cold or rainy you should run at a very slow pace for less time than you normally would. Drink tons of water. Sometimes the best thing for a cold is to sweat it out. Don't over do it. Just something to get your metabolism going so your body has the energy…

Not having one roll. (And I don't mean dinner rolls lol) I lay on my stomach at night and bend my right or left leg and when I'd lay down my fat rolls would touch and it bothered me. And now I can lift my leg to a 90 degree angle and not have that problem. When I was too small for my new smaller pants :).

Try the 17 day diet. I tried it and loved it to help jump start my weight loss. The beginning of the book says the accelerate cycle one is really good for those tricky last 10 lbs. Thats what I plan to do when I'm at that point in my weight loss

I'm not good at the whole lecture deal but I can try. First off you did this to yourself. You're the one who lost those 13 lbs and was feeling good and fell victim to self sabbotage. You DESERVE to eat healthy. You DESERVE your goal weight. You DESERVE to be fit. So whats holding you back??? YOU! So tell that inner you…

Well I only have one class. When I'm not in class I'm usually cleaning the house etc. Usually I go running on the days I have class.

Good idea! Thanks!

You look AMAZING!

I quit drinking diet coke because of the aspartame in it. It is believed to be a cancer causing agent. BUT coke products got the go ahead to start using Truvia in their drinks so we should see an improvement. How did I quit? For one, I cut out all my sugars for a little bit. Promise its just a few days. Then tried to drink…

Don't worry there's a bunch of us on here. I claim 5'0 but I'm really 4'11 3/4inches lol. It sucks because not every diet works for us because of it being based off the average. Not every exercise is as easy for us because we have shorter strides but mtp has worked really well for me. You can do this. It doesn't matter how…

Sounds like you're in a plateau. After 21 days your body adapts to your new change and doesn't work super hard to try and burn calories because its routine. All you need to do is change your routine to confuse your body. Say you always run at 5mph on the treadmill and do 30 reps of certain exercises when you go to the gym.…

Where the heck are your veggies?

I have never noticed weight gain in myself when I would be ovulating. But I also have tried to track it. I do gain 2-4 lbs right before my period and lose it througout my TOTM.

I think its whatever you feel good doing. Some people say you thrive on fat stores when you workout on an empty stomach and some people say eat an hour before because you can workout harder. Personally I can't even eat anything small and workout an hour after. It makes me feel like I'm about to throw up. If I eat I have to…

Prepackaged foods are going to give you a lot of sodium. Sodium = water weight. Weight weight = bloat. Try something simple. You know in your head what's good for you and what isn't. Load a bunch of veggies in your meal, nix the sauces, use lighter versions, and you should totally be able to fit what you want into your…

I say it depends on your body type and how you work with food. The average man could do the workout plan and diet no problem and lose weight BUT me being 5ft and not much weight to lose I wouldn't lose on the program they provided. Just do what was working for you without the dvds and stick to that. Probably your best bet.…

I like whole wheat or whole grain pasta. Gets your fiber in and to me I cant tell the difference except its more filling.

You should probably not eat fruits past lunch time and limit it to like 2 servings a day. They're great and healthy for you but they have A LOT of sugar in them even though it doesn't seem like it. And yogurt should probably be kept at around 2 a day and light yogurt or fat free. Hope this helps! If it doesn't just bump up…

I agree with everything that youre saying! My favorite quote when I have a craving... "If you do what you've always done, you'll only achieve what you've always had." In other words if I eat that ice cream every night or pizza or anything fattening, I'll be the same weight. You have to change yourself to get change. Change…

I do ground turkey and get a package of low sodium taco seasoning. Fix that together and I usually mess up one or two peppers so i throw those in, red onions, jalepenos in a jar (rinse before chopping), and whatever else left over in the fridge that sounds good. Then add a dollop of salsa on top. Bake and sprinkle a tiny…
