Personally I love to exercise after work in the evenings. However I am in school and work 2 jobs at this time so my evenings are busy with work, school, school work, and some nights I'm just too tired to get to the gym even straight from work. So this week today infact I started going in the AM before work. My goal is to…

Although you are very right that things like gum and sugar have very few calories that some don't bother to track those in their journals here. To each is there own but I know for me tracking everything I ate for at least the first few weeks has really helped me to get a better sense of what I am putting in my mouth as…

Something by Staind, Disturbed, or Meatloaf. Kind of random but they are fun for me.

That looks yummy...I love salsa. Going to have to give this a try some time. Thanks for sharing.

I was looking for suggestions as well...thanks that is one I can defiantly do at home.

I've only been on here for like 15 days I think but yeah...I have noticed weekends are tough for me too and I typically end up going over my calories. Our kids are with us Fri-Sun so I find myself eating things that the kids like which I too love but might not typically eat on a normal week day. Good Luck. That is awesome…

Good Luck everyone! This is a fantastic challenge and that it will be. For me personally...I would be ecstatic if I managed to burn 5,000 calories in a month! I might burn 500 calories in a good week at the gym...lol.

I use the one that comes in little packets that you can mix into any liquid except carbonated ones or even soft…

Good for you. I wish you the best of luck with your new baby and your goals. You can totally do it. Ignore the other folks who are telling you to not worry about weight gain. You have every right to your concerns and your efforts to keep yourself and your baby happy and health and you said your working with your doctor…

Have you tried it? It doesn't sound bad. Honey is a great natural sweetener I use it often...yummy. I love to make fruit smoothies they are great and filling especially in the morning for breakfast. In about the same time it takes to make a pot of coffee (although personally I'm a tea person I don't like coffee) you can…

Don't know much about green tea pills but I did the jillian michaels detox and fat burner pills for the 2 weeks...week 1 detox and week 2 probiotic and fatburners. The detox was gentle and the fatburner didn't make me jittery like some pills can. I'm looking into another product in the line that is suppose to help lower…

I have heard good things from lots of people about this but I tried them and they just had such an after taste for me that I couldn't stick with them. I have a place right near my house kind of a juice bar type of place that for $5 you can go in get a shake, shot of aloe water (this I liked and found really good for me),…

I'm pretty picky about taste as well. I really liked using fresh fruits and either 2% milk or water...milk tasted better to me but that's a personal choice. Then I would use a scoop of protein powder from gnc. To me the chocolate and banana flavor tasted best. Banana mixed well with just about all of the fruit variations…

That can be completely frustrating. I had a good two years like that one time. Was going to the gym faithfully 4-5 days a week doing cardio and weights as well as various classes offered at the gym I belonged to at the time to help keep things from getting repetitive and my body from getting use to things. 2 years and…

I think it is fine if you are the type of person who can do it. I can't. Otherwise I wouldn't be where I am. For me this site is not stressful rather it has been very helpful for me but we are all different and for some I could see how counting calories like we do here could be stressful. It's helping me to really see what…

:p my thoughts too

I like your comment. I do primarily cardio. Treadmill to be specific. I'm just getting back into the gym after a break. Sadly I'm one of those on again off again gym people. I joined here hoping it might keep me motivated so I'd keep going long enough to see results this time. I try to do 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. Then…

That is great! I am new to this site as of about a week ago. Haven't weighed myself but the calorie tracker and work out tracker is pretty cool. It really helps make me think about what I am eating and such to see it right in front of me. The other great thing is don't forget to log it say you go to the mall and walk the…
