  • I have drank Almond milk for probably the last 4 years or so. Mainly because I do not like cows milk. It's fine. Recently ive discovered Oat Milk. It is a little carby so if you are trying to cut those check the numbers first, but it has a texture thats the closest to a 2% milk then any other substitute I've ever tried. I…
  • I played womens rugby in College (lock and hooker) and during my off seasons I ran, lifted and stretched daily. Sounds like you are trying to do off season training without a gym membership so I would suggest plyometric workouts (youtube and google are your friend) outside. Get your muscles used to firing at high intensity…

  • nuts have a lot of calories, or spoonful of peanut butter is another quick calorie fix. Boil a bunch of eggs and keep them in your fridge for a good snack. cook all your meats in butter.
  • So because you are not Asian you already are a target the moment you walk in (source: I was when I taught in Korea). Since you know they will already be watching you closer than anyone else in the facility I would try harder to get the dripping under control. Pack some extra shirts to change into during your gym vists and…
  • The great thing about cruise food are the buffets and options! You could probably find yourself a lot of very healthy AND delicious options then you just gotta control the quantity of of food you're eating!

  • Question of the week: Getting pregnant has always been my primary reason, early late year I lost almost 30 pounds in prep, but a huge move and life change and depression set me way back. A few weeks ago I got sick after drinking soda and became scared I may be pre-diabetic. So this time I'm trying really hard to get my…

  • Try taking your measurements with a tape measure. Do your thighs, biceps, butt, tummy, bust, and neck. Do that every week on your weigh in day. You should see all of your measurements go down over time. I enjoy tracking these more than my actual weight because they tell me the bigger picture.
  • I lost 30 pounds last year and then a lot changed in my life, got depressed and gained it all back plus a pound! about 3 weeks ago I was having a date day with my hubby and we went to a movie and then went to lunch after. I had a soda at the movie and fried chicken and lemonade at lunch. After that lunch i felt so…
  • Shopping is my jam. I love it. I love planning out my meals and snacks and then basing my list on those plans. I love organizing my list by store layout and sometimes I even record price trends on items I buy often. I dont have kids yet, but since I do the shopping my husband has no choice but to eat what I buy or go out…
  • Whenever I'm on a health kick and losing weight, I find that I start taking care of myself better. Like using better body washes or a new face cream sort of helps keep me motivated when the weight feels slow to come off. I am more willing to put in extra time on myself and it helps keep me happily on the wagon. I've also…
  • You go this!! Since you're just back from vacation your body is probably holding water weight from extra sodium in restaurant food as well as just body fluctuation from the flight. Drink lots of water and weigh in again next week, I bet you will drop!!

  • you can use some spray oil or even a very light mist of water just to help the stick. I use butter myself.
  • I got an air popper at a goodwill like 10 years ago and I have never gone back to bag popcorn. Even new they arent expensive and then you can control what you put on your popcorn. I like to do garlic salt and a liiiiitle bit of butter.
  • Hi! I'm new and that was a lot to digest but I'm excited to get this challenge started! A Little about me: Last year from January-August I was steadily losing and lost about 25 pounds!

  • Can we be friends?! We are also going to start trying in July after I have my BC implant removed. Last year I lost 20 pounds on a low carb diet and walking, but in the fall/winter went through a major life change and depression and I've gained it all back! This will be our first child and I really want to save a safe and…
  • Ive done low carb before with great success. I find I always fall off the wagon in the fall/winter when my Seasonal Depression kicks in and I binge on comfort foods. This past fall/winter were really hard on me because I moved across country away from my support system and basically lost control. Cutting calories is the…
