I've been doing 60 minute zumba class 2-4 days a week. I also do some strength training when I'm at the gym.

I tried this last year and it was the worst choice of my life. I bled the entire three months almost. Had insomnia, and incredible pain whenever I did try to have sex. I don't think it affected my weight. Also it seemed to help my skin more than the pill, but it was not worth it for me.

I find that I'm not meeting it, but it isn't listed on many foods potatoes and dairy are good.

I agree with weirdo

Well it is important to get complete protein so you want a grain with a legume. Such as rice and beans or bread and peanut butter. Although if you are eating dairy this isn't a huge concern. What about black bean burgers? I don't think they are even trying to taste like meat. Also you should try to make your changes in…

In my opinion. If there is something wrong with your liver. The last thing you want to do is add more chemicals through a cleanse which will make your liver have to work harder.

Well if your phone is always on you it should be pretty accurate. I know mine is far off though. Also if you enter an exercise it will exclude steps from that time period.

I hate cardio machines. I only do fitness classes mostly Zumba. And some walks outside. Try more new things and see if you can find something you like.

How do people pronounce this acronym? I've been saying tuh-dee like tada only with an e sound.

I always struggle with weekends. I'm up about a half pound. I need to get my own scale though.

So my bf hates veggies. But he is okay with them cooked. We have been eating a lot of stir fries. These can be very healthy and economical. We use frozen veggies and meat. Since a serving of protein is only 3-4 ounces the shrimp or chicken goes a long way. We also eat a vegetarian pasta we like. For that remember 2/3 cup…

The thing is. When I was younger I would take some diet pills. They are dangerous. Look at the warnings they say drink with a full glass of water because they can get stuck in your throat and choke you. Also to watch for yellowing skin or eyes because they can shut down your liver. I'd rather not do that. Maybe try alli.…

That makes sense. If you are naturally Apple shaped and gain weight in the middle it will be even higher when you are heavier. What about pregnancy? Does that affect it?

I try to avoid my favorite chips because I like them too much. I will eat pretzel thins. 11 with one ounce of sharp cheddar. Just over 200 calories and satisfying. But I usually am not tempted to overeat. I suggest trying that.

I've heard you can mash up frozen bananas and it tastes pretty good.

Yeah seriously. I need to eat carbs, but that is me. From a nutrition standpoint only protein and some forms of fat are essential. Although fiber has numerous health benefits I'm not sure it is considered essential

Eating disorders are very serious. I know it probably doesn't seem like a big deal to you, but the thing is most people do not think about food that much. I highly recommend you find a therapist that specializes in eating disorders. A nutritionist too. You can overcome this but it takes work including understanding the…

This is a canned chili. Vegetarian by Hormel. Another food I eat is Refried beans with onions jalapeños cheese and salsa. Very filling and full of fiber and protein.

The sausage is fake meat. Take boca crumbles and cook them with cayenne, fennel, paprika, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, pepper, and a little bit of olive oil. Then mix with marinara sauce.

This doesn't seem like a lot of food

Fiber and protein. There is this vegetarian chili I love. It has under 400 calories and 22 grams of fiber. Also you should try to eat as many veggies as possible. They fill you up with very few calories.

I think both are equally possible. Maybe try a different body fat calculation.

Iced coffee with sugar free cinnamon dolce and extra 2%

Do you like gum. I drink a lot more at work when I am chewing gum

Ugh I quit. Too frustrating. I entered them 3 times and they kept deleting.

Good job!

Well the U.S. Recommendations are higher. Why not try to reach that amount? I usually meet both of them.

I don't track water. I know I drink enough. I'm on my third bottle today and I woke up at 12.

Beans. They have so much.

Ugh. It's the worst. I have that and a related condition. I've come to realize there are things I will never be able to do. Kind of sobering at 26. But after seeing a doctor for months I got orthotics. My pain is not bad day to day and although I'll never run again short walks are fine and so is Zumba usually. Still things…
