Games & Challenges *Challenge* 30 Day Shred? We'll see! Oct 29 2008

I've never really done a challenge, but it should be fun. I have a 5 video set from Jillian, though none are the 30lb shred. I need to get the video of course, but I can/will do that when I get paid on Friday.

Great idea!! Kick the weight loss right before holiday season kicks in.

Motivation Binging during "that time of the month" Sep 24 2008

Well, I'm just wondering- do you 'count' the weight from PMS week. I've been on CC for almost 3 weeks, and heading towards my water retention week.

I started at 194, 10 days later I'm 190- not too shabby.

4 days later (i.e. today) 196. Pissed- very! However... I started doing the math, and sure enough, this will be a water retention and full of other emotions week. So, do I "count" the 196, or chaulk it up to the water and go about my life?

Weight Loss Does Anyone Here Ever Get Hungry????? Sep 20 2008

It's different for everyone. I use to eat all the time, and I never really felt 'full' or if I did the food was just tooo good to stop. I am eating 5-6small meals a day. The first few days were difficult for me, but I started pounding water. Now... like for lunch I may make a nice healthy sandwich, but right before I eat it, I chug like 12-16oz of water. Today I even timed myself for breakfast- I eat REALLY fast, so I slowed down. Like- a LOT. It was so hard for me, but, the same breakfast I eat that usually has my stomach growling 2 1/2 hours later- I found myself 4hours later thinking 'wow... what should I do?' I did spend almost 45min eating though, taking at least a minute in between each bite. If I fell full, I stopped. In about 5-6min I would need to eat again, but it's amazing how quickly the body adapts.

Weight Loss what works for you? Sep 17 2008

I am trying to eat a bit more, but watching how many carbs I consume. I am trying to increase my protein, but having a hard time doing that without increasing fat or carbs. I am trying to do the best I can to make this a lifestyle- so being occasionally hungry I expect to decrease. I am uping the fiber, maybe that's the problem? I don't know. My husband is a marine, and I'm a nurse- I have a LOT of knowledge, where as he's practical and has done a lot to maintain his weight and stay in tip-top shape.

He's incredibly encouraging. I mean, I've never lived with anyone who has encouraged me so much. I think that helps soo much! But thanks also for your help.

Weight Loss Looking for a Losing Buddy! Sep 12 2008

I can honestly say I've never had a weight loss buddy- my friends/family may know that I'm losing weight and occasionally ask me about it, but don't think about it much.

How often should we check in? I weigh in Sat and Wed- I would like to weigh in daily, but I get discouraged, and I can't wait a full week!

I'm 5'2, 194. Goal is 150, at least. I mean, per height, I should be 120, but I will decide what to do when I get to that weight.

And healthnut- huge congrats on those first 91lbs!!
