you should start tracking your protein. a gram of protein and a gram of carbs each have 4 calories, but protein is going to keep you feeling satisfied longer than carbs will. adding a hand full of nuts, a hard boiled egg, or some deli meat is a good way to incorporate protein into your snacks.

insanity is better in my opinion (although i haven't done p90x) because it is based on your weight. with p90x you need to buy equipment and weights, which is pricey. but when the weights get involved it is easy to over do the work out by using more weight that you can handle. with insanity, the only weight your using is…

basically when you eat very little calorie wise, your metabolism slows causing your weight to slow. will you still lose weight? yes, just slower. when your body is in starvation mode though it saves you fat instead of burning it. so the weight you lose while starving is your body eating away at your muscles. basically your…

dr. pepper, peanut butter, pasta, buffalo wings, mashed potatoes

lean cuisine roasted garlic chicken pizza, 330 cals. it's a little on the high side for me, but it's delicious and much better health wise that a real chicken garlic alfredo pizza.

another thing to add, you are her parent, if she is under 18 you have control of her. you need to take her to a doctor. she will hate you for it now, but down the road when she is healthy, wife a loving husband, and family, she will know that if it wasn't for what you did she wouldn't have any of that. she needs a mother…

re read that part of your post where you said you are worried that it will turn into something like anorexia or bulimia. she is already there. if this happened once or twice then you could say that you are worried she will develop an eating disorder. but the truth is, you need to be worried now, she has an eating disorder…

i actually made the same thing yesterday, except i used morning star spicy black bean burgers, orowheat sandwich thins, veggie slices pepper jack flavored "cheese", and a spicier salsa. ironic.

if you push through it now and tough it out, you will be sore for a few more day, but it will go away. if you wait until you are no longer sore, you will just be sore again the next time you work out, and if you wait it out again, the same thing will happen again when you work out. try drinking a protein shake after…

i log the packet and the water. propel is the only way i can get water throughout the day. i have such an aversion to water, the taste gags me. the only time i can drink plain water is when i'm either super thirsty, or i'm working out. and it needs to be ice cold, i know thats not the best for you, but it's the only way i…

i think i hate breakfast because it is my favorite. i'll refrain from listing them but we all know that breakfast is generally filled with sweet, simple carb, lots of fat, things. all those things taste amazing, but they're all so bad. so with out those, breakfast just isn't the same, i have a really hard time making a…

I am 5'7" i don't know what size my frame is, i feel like i have a really large rib cage, but the rest is average i'd say. i'm 113 ish right now. technically underweight, but this is just where my personal body tends to level off at. i'm not looking to lose or gain really, just looking to tone and build up my physical…

i love propel, 20-30ish cals per bottle, depending on the size of the bottle.

if you only have healthy foods in the house, then they have no other choice. kids are amazing creatures, we are all born with the instinct to eat when we are hungry and stop when we are full. as we get older, we learn that we are able to over rule what are instincts tell us by skipping meals or over eating. so if somebody…

i started on the 18th. i'm still on level 1, the weights are really kicking my *kitten*. i have zero upper body strength. i bought 2lbs weights thinking,"how hard can it be?" but each time i shred the whole time i keep thinking,"i should have got the 1 pounders." it's too late to switch now though.

it's great that you are feeling good, about your body. and yes your diet is working, for you it's doing what you want it to do, you are losing weight. but your diet affects so much more than your weight. a proper diet is essential to maintaining your heart health, bone health, fertility. if losing weight and looking good…

sometimes, it's hard for us personally to see the the change we've made because we see it everyday. when you don't see much change from day to day, it's hard to believe that your body shows what the numbers reflect. but then you look at a before and after picture and the difference is obvious. he will see that difference.…

like a past poster said, diets don't let you pick where you lose the weight. varying your diet is a good thing, because it keeps your metabolism from flat lining. but if you specifically want to se results in your stomach region, then you need to do work outs that focus on that area. pilates, belly dance, and of course…

it looks like most days you are going over your sodium limit. when you do that, you retain water which will make you bloated and weigh more. i suggest switching to low sodium alternatives of what you are already eating.

Eating disorders are not limited to the thin. Binge Eating can be sign of an eating disorder. compulsive overeating can be a sign. bingeing and purging. starvation. over exercise. all signs. i'm not diagnosing you, i'm just saying that you can have an eating disorder at any weight. it's not necessarily weight that defines…

nothing gets me excited like a new work out DVD. when i need motivation i go watch trailers for the current work out DVD craze, and it really gets me pumped, and i'm always so excited to get it and start. i did insanity, i'm doing 30 shred, p90x scares me because im not strong as far as working out with weights is…

say's the person with an obvious eating disorder. been there, done that. being skinny is great, but it's hard to enjoy if your dead. edit, i meant to quote wintergirl99's post.

salads and fruits are great, but your body still needs protein, and fat. you can easily boost your calorie intake with out adding unhealthy things. if you are avoiding meat, you can get protein by adding things like beans and tofu. and add fat by simply drinking a glass of milk, eating a cup of yogurt, having some peanut…

personally i agree with your comment. it was the truth, sometimes the truth hurts.

i would cut your carbs down aim for only 150ish a day, and seduce your sodium as well.

i agree that it may just be muscle. check your measurements instead and body fat and see if you see a difference there.
