receipe exchange
I recently received an email that is a receipe exchange. You forward it to 20 people or so, and you send a receipe to the 2 peoples names that are on it. Then you should get receipes back from the person you forward it to etc. Thought some of you may be interested in doing this to get some new ideas. If you would like me…

The trouble with Trainers.
Hi all, So I did my last session with a trainer yesterday, (only seven in total) and I'm not willing to pay for more. My biggest complaint was they didn't give me a written plan with explanations of exercises, how many to do and how much variation I needed to do. EVERY single time I was there for seven sessions I asked for…

Today was hard
Today was so very hard to complete. I had a good day personally...I was able to sleep in and relax, but I was so hungry for anything. But, you know what? I didn't just go out and binge, I ate a peanutbutter sandwich and drank lots of water to fill me up. I didn't break and eat the oreos in my cabinet. I was crabby towards…

Rant about Main stream fitness mags out there
So every once in a while I pick up a copy of mens health or mens fitness or sometimes if it has articles on food or exercise, I pick up GQ. Recently over the last couple of weeks, I notices a couple of things that, before I started working out, I just chuckled at, but now, knowing how hard it is to get even 1 hour of good…

Christmas Candy
Christmas Candy is KILLING me! All of my friends have given us goodies this year. I appreciate it, I really do. I just wish I had more self control when that kind of stuff is in my house. I guess I'm doing ok considering this New Year's Resolution thing doesn't officially start for a few more weeks. Also, I've lost a pound…

Visions of sugarplums...
Okay, so I'm not having visions of sugarplums...I'm more of a salty food girl...but I sure am having visions of fat laden chinese food, cholesterol filled pizza, salt saturated potato chips, and full fat sour cream and butter topped baked potatoes with a big, juicy, fattening steak on the side. Ugh. I've been doing a…

Monitor
Is there a monitor for this web site? Is there a right way to follow this program or is this even a program? I have read some post that say that if you aren't going to do it a certain way, that maybe this site isn't for you. I'm confused. Thought this was just a way for anyone to chart there food and exercise. Period.

Starvation mode?
Okay, so, I am exercising by walking to my classes from my home. It's a 20 minute walk, with about a 20 pound backpack (all my classes are right after each other, so I bring all my books with me). By doing this, I burn around 100 calories. Well, I also have an Symphonic Orchestra class, where I play my cello for 90-100…

shirataki noodles
I just started using shirataki noodles in place of pasta potatoes or any fattening side dish my husband sets his heart on that night. I was wondering if there was any one on here who uses this and has seen results with it. If you don't know what they are, they are asian noodles made out of yam flour from the konjac plant…

Fashion Help needed
I showed off my idiot side yesterday afternoon, and went through the closet trying on old dresses (I need two nice things to wear for Co Springs in two weeks, and I don't have a lot of selection). First off, I hate shopping, so the latest thing in there was at least 2 years old. Hardly anything fit (too small :sad: ) and…

Dumb question about calories in and calories out!
Just wondering, if the goal to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat, why does the calorie counter add more calories for you to eat after you log in your exercise?

I'm Back!
Hello all! I am back after a pre-Thanksgiving hiatus. I didn't splurge (much), and I have generally kept to my diet and exercise. The reason I left was because I was at a plateau and I hadn't lost weight or inches and it was extremely frustrating. I guess I just noticed that with this website, I was logging too…

Super stupid question...
Sorry, Razboo...I know how much you love these. :laugh: Does a Caffiene Free Diet Coke count as part of the daily water intake? I count my herbal tea but I'm not sure if the sodium negates the whole "water" part of the soda. Does anyone have any insight?
