Anyone in group with over 100lbs to lose?
Just asking because I have about 100 to get down to a decent weight but my main goal right now is just to be under 200 lbs! The 30 Day Shred is HARD but not impossible. My plan is to just do what I can. :)

Totally frustrated!!
So I tried to get some time to do the 30DS today and as soon as the jumping jacks started, I had to stop due to an "accident". TOM is wreaking havoc this month. I feel like I have lost pace with everyone..... 3 days in and TOM is not letting up. I am just really frustrated. Normally it's not THIS bad

Quick sweetness
When you are really needing something sweet, what do you turn to without adding all the carbs? I have been doing my SF Jello with Reddi Whip but sometimes that just doesnt cut it. What does it for you???

Struggling....
I realized I haven't lost the desire for carbs. I got off work and hubby asked me to bring him home some McDonalds - the only thing open here after hours so I get him his usual 10 piece nugget, fries and a coke. OMG, I wanted some sooooooooo bad but I didn't give in. And now I am feeling like I am in the worse mood. 25…

My new food discovery
So yesterday was horrible, cravings out the wazoo.... but I fought the battle and won. So today I rewarded myself by making tacos (using low carb tortilla's of course). Anyway, I have these .5 lb bags of ground beef made up in the freezer. I went to the store to get the tortillas as I was out and I found this Pace Garlic…

^*%$%&# Coworkers!!

It's hard enough to resist on a day to day basis but dang, I am at work for 8 hours constantly eyeing in the wrong direction. Two nights in a row they decide to throw a going…

Need quick answers.... i am about to cook lol
Quick question (cause I am about to cook lol) I have this Korean Beef that is pre-seasoned. It's like 6 carbs per serving. It's seasoned with BBQ, Teriyaki and from the looks of the bag, it's very saucy. If I was to clean it off before cooking, would that reduce the carbs any???

Forcing yourself to eat????
I am trying to remember about how long it took me to lose the appetite. You know, the point where you literally have to force the calories down. Since starting back on LC on Monday, my appetite seems ravenous but I know that time will come when I will not want to eat. I also can't remember if when beginning to LC if…

I usually eat my first meal of the day around 1-3pm after i wake up. I eat my "lunch" around 9-11pm at work and then I sometimes eat something small when I get home at 2 or 4am. This…
