Major (for me) NSV
I took my kids to the movies today...and I'm a total candy junkie...and I didn't have ONE PIECE of candy. I did smell it a LOT though. LOL Who knew that sweettarts and mike and ikes smelled so wonderful!!! I've been without candy and wheat/corn/grains for over 2 weeks now! Finally seeing some change!

calculating marinades
So, after trying to calculate the calories for a super yummy marinade I found for chicken (I did it through the recipe thing)...I don't feel as if it's accurate. When I poured out the left over marinade of course most of the olive oil was still in there...but I am guessing it calculates as if you ate it!? I now have tons…

Gaining weight...
So, despite doing the 30 Day shred and the elliptical every day I am gaining weight. I am eating very reasonably (have counted calories enough to know what is "reasonable") and trying to drink my water but getting sooooo frustrated. It's not really worth it to put my body through this every morning when I'm just gaining.…

Weighing In
Ok, here's my question. I am supposed to weigh in on Mondays (as per me LOL) for my official weigh in but on Friday I wanted to see where I was at...so I was at -5 lbs! Yay! I went on a retreat this weekend and tried pretty hard to stay true. Couldn't log, do my specific workouts or count calories (cafeteria style eating)…

Counting Spaghetti Calories
Ok, ideally I should not be eating spaghetti (being that I have PCOS which is related to Insulin resistance) but I have a family to feed, so some nights we will be having spaghetti. How do you measure the noodles? 2 oz...yeah, well, I don't have a scale. And even if I did, is that cooked or uncooked? When I successfully…

Ripped in 30 Results anyone???
anyone??? ;) I keep coming here looking to see the pics of what ripped in 30 has done for people and I'm not seeing any really. That is what kept me going with the 30 day shred was the progress pics everyone posted. When I thought I couldn't get up and do it...I'd look and see how great it works and I was able to do it one…

Skinny Cow
Has anyone eaten that and decided it's not worth the calories or the $$??? I just ate most of a Chocolate Fudge Brownie serving of ice cream and am not impressed. Should've stopped sooner :grumble: I could've played with that *almost* 150 calories somewhere else---would've preferred a banana with a little bit of chocolate…

NSV
So, my nsv has nothing to do with weight or even size but stamina! I am so proud of myself. At almost 36 I think I must be in better shape than I've been in since....maybe ever!? I ran 3 miles the other day in 36 mins (and then walked the rest of the way home-not quite a mile). Tonight I ran 3 1/2 miles in 37 mins! 1/2…

Can't believe I'm doing this...LOL
So, I swore to myself that when I completed the 30 Day Shred I would post my before and after pics. I can't see as much difference in the pictures as I'd hoped but I know there's a difference b/c my clothes tell me. I lost 4-5 inches from my waist about 3 from my hips (that was all I measured). I lost 11 pounds....and am…

Can I call this an NSV?
Today I decide to have an "off" day. Partly b/c I wanted one ;) and partly b/c I wanted to try that "mess with your metabolism" thing...so, we got pizza and while I knew I didn't want to "pig out" I was going to eat what I wanted to eat....well, 3 pieces of pizza about killed me!!!!!!! I thought my stomach was going to…

So frustrated. :(
So, I'm in like week 4 (I think-maybe 5) and I lost 5 lbs in the first two weeks but can't lose anything now. I'm working out harder than ever-not getting muscle soreness so I'm thinking it's more cardio!? (Biggest loser boot camp and Biggest loser cardio max) alternated with pilates and yoga (so, Mon, Wed, Fri I'm doing…

Zoloft
Does anyone on here have any experience with Zoloft and not being able to lose weight? I am so frustrated...I don't want to use that as a crutch (and I don't think I am anymore) but I can't seem to lose weight like I have before with working out hard and eating well.....Grrr! As soon as I wean my baby (very soon-w/in days…

Hi I'm Cara
I have 4 kids and I am a stay at home mom (or stay in my mini van mom). I homeschool the older 2 (soon to be doing 3 of them) and that makes it really hard to find time to exercise like I would otherwise. Ever since my baby was born (almost 18 mos) I have been doing the "I'll start Monday" thing. But Monday never comes. :/…
