water or skim milk

Good luck! I lost five pounds right before Thanksgiving and gained it all back since. What a bummer! I know my weight gain is from not tracking and basically eating whatever I want, so now I am tracking again. I got sick with a bad cold for a couple weeks and that reduced my exercising too so that probably contributed, not…

she describes it as brisk walking so i put it as brisk walking. i think it's 3.5 mph. the video i have, there hasn't been any running in it but i've only done the basic beginning one so far.

someone just informed me today that if you go to home and then settings, there's a place where you can change one of your tracked "nutrients" to fiber. i changed protein, she changed sodium..

what kind of diet do you follow? that might help to know. i don't know if these ingredients are available in the uk but i've been loving me some three bean salad lately. very high fiber and not too high in calories. it's lima beans, kidney beans and green beans with a vinegar dressing and the spice is celery seed and…

well, if you want my opinion i think you look great, but also on the very lean side. camera adds ten pounds so in real life you probably look thinner too. my ex used to have your build and he was always struggling to gain weight and everyone used to always say stuff like "get this boy a sandwich!" recent studies say that…

have you tried steel cut oats? they are nice if you would appreciate a chewier texture to your oats with less gloop. (i haven't tried them as overnight oats though) my suggestion is for the long cooking steel cut oats. (i don't like the quick cooking kind) i don't care for regular overnight oats personally, but uncooked…

3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch slices finely chopped fresh garlic (about half a medium bulb) 1 tsp vinegar (i use white) 1 tsp soy sauce 1-2 tsp sugar (original recipe calls for 3 tsp sugar) 1 tsp sesame oil (optional) i usually leave it out but it does add a little extra flavor…

i find plain cut radishes a nice low calorie snack. a little zingy.. i also like the small green jarred manzanilla olives. only 5 calories per olive and you only need a few to feel like you ate something. pickles can be a nice snack too. i have a nice recipe for asian garlic cucumber pickles (no canning necessary) if you'd…

i've been all about the three bean salad lately. keep the sodium low by using frozen green and lima beans and rinsing the canned kidney beans. a big bowl would fit your nutrition criteria. (about 15 oz-20 oz)

My ex was/did this/that.

Push It by Salt n Pepa Marky Mark - Good Vibrations

i've been eating a lot of three bean salad lately. my boyfriend seems to enjoy it alot too. let me know if you'd like my recipe. very quick to prepare and makes a lot. (it doesn't last long in my house though)

banana and some raw nuts or seeds

homemade seitan (my first time making it, came out awesome!) and sauteed cauliflower

egg whites ( i like to make an omelette with chopped tomato and a slice of cheese) or a scrambled whole egg beefed up with extra whites, veggie sausages or veggie bacon ( i like morningstar farms). fruit (banana, apple, melon, peaches..), small pancake, slice toast, coffee or tea, of soy/almond or skim milk and frozen…

walking long distances/for a long time at a decent pace, bicycling, squats, lunges. i tend to carry excess weight around my middle personally, but my daughter carries weight in her thighs and walking a lot really slimmed them down a lot. i find bicycling great for toning though but not too much at a time or else they bulk…

I used to be constipated all the time until I got a free sample box of Align probiotics. i took the whole box's worth as directed and in the probably 8 years since I tried it I've only been constipated a handful of times usually from not drinking enough water. When I am constipated though a double strength cup of dieter's…

bring fruit to work. bananas, oranges, peaches, apples with peanut butter.. it really helps to satisfy a sweet tooth, a much healthier choice.

well, i'll assume you want the chickpea curry recipe with okra since there's so many falafel recipes.. i think the okra really elevates the dish. so let's see. i can't find the original recipe i had, but here is how i make the curry. makes a big pot of curry! tbs oil 1 onion finely chopped 3-4 cloves garlic finely chopped…

Well, have you tried green tea or ACV personally and can speak from personal experience? So you disagree that green tea stimulates your metabolism and that vinegar is good for a sluggish liver? Why?

Green tea is said to stimulate your metabolism which aids in weight loss. When I first started drinking a pot of green tea everyday (I was trying to cut down on my coffee intake.) I wasn't eating any less than usual or exercising more and lost about ten pounds over three weeks. (And I put two teaspoons of sugar in every…

The only "side effect" I've heard of is better liver functioning. I want to try it too but can never make it more than a couple days without forgetting to take it, so I can't say if it works or not. taking it for a couple/few days in a row did cure my nightly heartburn though. I wouldn't count on it for weight loss truly…

falafel, chickpea curry with okra

i used to have the same problem until i started having 4 small meals a day instead of three. they are spaced out about every four hours. i get roughly 300 calories per meal. if i go over i just reduce the next meal. so i eat breakfast around 7, lunch at 11:00, afternoon meal at 3:00pm and dinner at 7:00pm. this helps me a…

yes. roasted veggies with olive oil are great! i just like salt and pepper on mine. also almost any veggie is good sauteed with a little chicken boullion powder and maybe a little fresh chopped garlic and a pinch of sugar for dark greens or like zuchinni for one example. ( i actually use mushroom veggie seasoning but i'm…

i actually prefer lowfat cheeses (NOT NON-fat) those I think are just eeewww. (any kind, cottage, cream cheese, yogurt) nonfat salad dressings, gross! anything sweetened with monkfruit, disgusting! stevia I am on the fence about. i don't like it in coffee or tea, but the chocolates made with it are pretty good.

i'd say don't worry so much about dieting and exercise exercise exercise to lose weight. also i'd suggest looking into supplementing with chromium

my advice would be to just choose healthy foods and avoid junk/processed/ high fat foods in large quantities. you and your baby's health is more important than not gaining a few extra pounds. that being said, make sure to get enough nutrition and especially extra calcium as the baby will suck it all right out of your bones…

any cardio that makes you really sweat
