Tumeric and Cumin can be a migraine trigger for some people. I found out the hard way :neutral: and had an allergic reaction. A small amount and I'm fine,,but I followed a recipe that called for about a tsp of tumeric, and my throat started closing up and I had a thumping high blood pressure headache the rest of the day. I…

I like making my own turkey wraps and cut veggies. I cut up salad veggies on my days off, and I mix low fat sour cream with a ranch dressing packet and it lasts all week,,and makes all the veggies taste SO much better!haha I also like tuna, with feta cheese and crackers, and with cottage cheese and fruit on the side. I…

I think if you discuss it honestly, she'll remain friends with you. I broke up with my own SISTER! as a fitness partner!lol She's not overweight, but she just would either be late all the time,,or only workout for 15 minutes, and I feel like I'm just getting started at 15 minutes. Her intentions were good, she's just not a…

Definitely listen to your body. Most of the time, I'll work out 6 days a week, and then on Sunday, I'll walk with my kids at the park for a few miles,,stretch, do some yoga,,stuff that feels good :D I'm also lenient on my diet on Sundays as well. Some people can do a ''free'' day. I don't feel well if I don't have some…

I cannot seem to get the scale to budge!!! It's been months.. stuck at 154 5'5" GW 140-143 I just started a new circuit weight routine 2 weeks ago. I work out for at least a hour a day, 6 days a week, and I've lost a pants size :smiley: and 2" on my waist. Nothing was changing when I was doing cardio everyday these past…

I've found a program on the Roku called Netfit,,I've been doing the body transformation circuit training for the past two weeks (with sundays off) I was killing it on cardio the past few months, and barely seeing any results (except for feeling good)...now with resistance training, cardio and a 20 minute core session, I've…

Age: 46 Ht: 5'5" HW: 162 LW: 130 CW: 143.5 GW: 135 I lost 20lbs last year, put a little back on over the holidays and now back at it. I workout 3-4 days a week. I have a desk job but just recently got a sit/stand desk, so now I stand more at work! Yay! I have a very active 5 yo and a couch-potato 10 yo[/quote] So far, you…

low fat greek yogurt and a small banana is great fuel first thing in the morning :) or an apple with almond butter and healthy life 35 calorie toasted bread (that bread is a life saver for me, I LOVE toast) I try to do a protein, fruit, whole grain, and a healthy fat first thing in the morning, but any two of those things…

Ohhh :D I've discovered crock pot oatmeat! I cut up apples, use half steel cut, half regular oatmeal, cinnamon and brown sugar. The recipe calls for milk and eggs, and my husband LOVES it like that,,I made mine with lf soymilk and egg white. it's my new favorite pre-work breakfast

I do this as well! :) I have a major heat intolerance, I've had Multiple Sclerosis for 10 years. I've been pretty severely disabled twice. I have a very positive outlook on fitness and diet, simply because if I do not do it?..I'm sick, depressed and in a whole lot more pain. Last year I took pain meds and gained 25lbs. I…

I needed to read this today! I've been trusting the process for the last 3 months, and even though I haven't lost but a pound!,,I traded tons of cardio for 6 days of circuit and resistance training, and got good results. 've lost a lot of inches and firmed almost my entire body. I feel good and look pretty good,,but got in…

CW: 155 GW: 145 5'5" Started seriously training (circuit and resistance) 3 months ago. I've stuck at 155!, even though I've leaned down, lost 2 jeans sizes and look pretty good! Feeling strong too! I'm hoping the the 10 lbs will just come about with cutting more calories in the next few months along with training

I gain between 5-6 lbs without fail, every month due to PMS. I can easily look 4 months pregnant!lol It's just always the way my body has been. It still bums me out when I step on the scale and my pants don't fit. It could possibly just be that for you?? If you lost 6 one week and stayed at 6 the next, keep track of your…

THANK you for sharing this tip! After reading your post, I looked up Fasting 16:8, and seem completely doable. :) On days I unintentionally do this (just tired and fall asleep at 9pm,,and too busy to eat until around 11), I feel REALLY great..and I never really gave it much thought. I seem to be sticking around the same…

I have done away with all prescription medication for my MS (except for a daily shot that is necessary). I absolutely LOVE having 1-2 ales before bed,,and not the light kind!lol the calorie full dark brown beer! I sip warm beer for hours before bed,,after dinner. I don't have any food vices,,just this! I allot the extra…

Hi! I am nearly 2 weeks in and although I don't feel like I've accomplished a whole lot yet, I still have the drive to keep going. I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and I deal with chronic pain. My goal is to just be healthy and loose the weight that I gained on Lyrica :/ (and I'll just put that behind me!haha) and, just to…

I'm new around here too. So far, I've found the the app completely helpful! Good luck on your journey :smiley:

5'5" SW 154 CW 152 GW 125 I set my goal weight at 125 because I was this weight consistently for 15 years. Any more I feel blah,,any less I look a little sickly.

you too :) it is SO hard to get motivated to work out. Whenever I find myself in a funk, just sitting there, I remind myself of how good I feel when I get done. This app is working out really good though so far

I have never been here before, but I understand your goal because it is my goal as well. To be as healthy as I can for my daughters is what drives me every single day. It's not so much about the weight even, as it is to be active and to keep up!haha,,,they are so full of energy

that's great! I'm less than 2 weeks in and I have a 20 lb goal. It may take me the better part of year to get there!lol but I'm committed to better health in general

In the past, if I was weening properly off of a med, exercise was necessary! ;) There was a few times unfortunately when insurance or dr's made my meds lapse and I had excruciating withdrawals. During these days or weeks, I was an absolute mess and couldn't fathom working out. But during a controlled weening process,…

shiny

I got kind of discouraged too, having done everything right, only to have lost 1 lb the first week and gained it back the second!!lol My goal was 2 lbs a week as well. I noticed that my clothes are fitting really well, and I ''feel'' thinner, so it's that propelling me not the scale. I feel so much more energy too. Muscle…

working out is positively the best way to release all the different emotions you will go through. The more you sweat, not only are you removing toxins you're increasing dopamine to ward off depression. Good music helps a lot ;)
