  • I don't know if this helps or not, but I just read an interesting article that hopefully was UNbiased about the whole low carb vs. low fat diets Here's the link There's A LOT of nutritional information out there and it depends on who is pushing it, but the overall ideas is that it has to work for you (personally) and…

  • Ah! Thank you so much!! Perfect! I have another quick question: why do some people write "bump" as a reply to certain topics... are they agreeing and giving a fist bump or something? Again, I apologize for being such a newbie at this kind of stuff....

  • Wow! I've got to start lifting more weights... you all are so inspiring! I am 5'3" and just stared a few weeks ago - no before and after yet (at least not that really show any difference! - other than just being happier and not so bloated feeling!) Keep sharing this thread is great!

  • Another good tip is to keep planning ahead. Being spontaneous with food can still work as long as you account for it. Sounds like you are on the right track, just keep being determined to succeed and allow yourself to forgive and move on when you slip and know that everyone slips up now and then. :)

  • I really like the Broccoli, Raisin (or grape) salad with bacon (you can use turkey bacon as well). It comes with a sweet/sour dressing. The regular recipe is something like a 1/2 C. sugar, 1/2 C. mayo and 1/4 C. vinegar. What do you recommend for making it lighter? I remember it tastes even better the second day!

  • I have been at a stalemate/plateau for a little while. I love to walk and jog from time to time. I think it's funny how some people find cardio boring where as I think lifting is hard to enjoy. I am willing to learn though and try new stuff - why not?! It could be the thing to get the scale moving again. Any tips or advice…
