The Clean cleanse is not like the cleanses you are thinking of. It is meant to rid the body of toxins while eating food - clean, organic, food. If you don't believe in cleansing, no problem, but no need to post. I'm looking for support.

It's a pretty detailed cleanse, so I'm not sure I can summarize it here! The book is pretty long. They recommend an elimination diet first, which is much like the candida diet, then once you've done that for 1-2 weeks, you do this cleanse. (The elimination diet is do that your body can acclimate). It is 2 liquid meals a…

I'm 5'2" and I'd be happy if I could get to 130! I'm stuck at 140...

I love the thin rice cakes by Suzie!

I eat the same things I eat for lunch and dinner! Left over meat and veggies, mashed potatoes, sausage, roasted chicken...you get the idea!

I'm training to run a half in April. I'm really starting to enjoy it! Especially when I burn 1,000 calories! :)

Thanks for your reply! I *a;most* convinced myself I could jump right into a marathon, but I won't! I found a half that is a few weeks before the marathon here in my town. The only problem is we might still have snow on the ground and/or wet and muddy conditions. That kind of stinks. And our full marathon does not allow…

I needed new clothes after 10 pounds! I'm still wearing some of my bigger stuff, but i constantly have to pull my pants up! I try to make what I have work or as long as I can. ;) -Allison

And don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat. So as you tone and build your muscle, you may actually gain a few pounds. That is a good thing! -Allison

Of course, this is just one web site, but I did just read something very similar in my nutrition text book. http://www.livestrong.com/article/489157-does-your-metabolism-slow-down-at-night/ A 2011 study conducted by researchers from Northwestern University demonstrates that there is a link between your body's circadian…

What about a protein shake? I usually drink one for lunch, but they can be a great snack too. I also eat chicken and salad (or pieces of chicken on a crunchy lettuce leaf instead of a cracker, spicy chicken sausage, and these last few are not high protein, but I love them as snacks - raw veggies and a low fat dip or hummus…

Hi, I'm 5'2". I've lost 10 so far, though only 4 were recorded on MFP. I have 10-12 more to go. Friend me! -Allison

I love the taste! I'm not a nursing mom anymore, so I can't offer you advice on that piece. I think it's worth the money because I use it as a meal supplement. -Allison

Oh, theres a FB page! Can someone PM me where to find the group? Thanks!!

I'd like to join in. Is the group just through this daily forum?

I would't do both. They are very similar and it would just be double the amount of work! I switched over from Spark People because this format seemed a little better and I like the community here. :)

I cook mine with a little salt and then add maple syrup.

I'm going to say what everyone else is saying - play it by ear! You may need them and you may not. You may lose more by eating them or you may lose more by skipping it. I'm losing very slowly and I've tried all sorts of combinations. What works best for me is not eating them back, but if I burn more than 200 calories, I…

I think it has to do with the formula WW uses - they take into account fat and fiber and here on MFP we are focusing on calories! -Allison

I just got the P90X shakes and I use it as a meal replacement for a few reasons. It's out where I am and it's refreshing. It's quick and easy and I don't stare at the fridge at lunch time wondering what to eat. And it totally helps with my chocolate cravings! I don't know what the others have as ingredients, but slim fast…

I always eat more protein. I just changed my proportions and it works much better for me.

I never thought of supplementing it with a class from my gym. That's a great idea! If only my yoga day fell on Saturdays, there's a great class I used to attend before P90X ;)

I have no advice, but I also dread yoga day! I don't really have 90 minutes in a row to exercise. Maybe just try another yoga DVD?

I was just reading an old string about this too. I guess I need to get a heart rate monitor! I do P90X and I started with the Classic (just about to end week 3) but I think I will be switching to the doubles. I used to run every day and I really miss it. With that said, I LOVE P90X so far. The only thing I have trouble…
