My mother law makes a salad similar but she uses spinch greens instead of reg lettuce it is wonderful

I was just thinking you might try pre cutting some veggies and fruits up so when you do get a craving you have pre-made healthy snacks to munch on instead grabbibing the other easy stuff....junk!

I do not work from home yet but on December 15 are new home will be finished and ready for us to move in. our buiness is in the backyard 10 feet away. I am a little nervous about going back to work not having time to be with kids keep up the house work and find time to excersise. My only bonus is there is a brand new gym…

well right now i am either walking pushing my two babies in stoller for about an hour a day except on weekends plus various weights or high impact arebocis for 40 mins if the weather is not nice for walking. I follow 1200 calories a day having all foods in moderation no pop or juice at all only water and milk (skim) and…

I love my walks I feel so energized afterward and my kids love the fresh air they nap so well afterward. walking is an excellent cardio excersize just remember if you can hold a conversation you may not be moving at a fast enough speed to get your full benefit. I am not sure what your target heart rate is but it may be…

welcome skinny angel, I am also trying to loose the baby weight. My third and final child was born july 24th, 2007. I started my third pregnancy with baby weight from the second pregnancy as my daughter was 4 and half months old when the test turned positive for the third time. I was so frustrated because i was just slowly…

ohh mickey D's my fav!!!!!!!!! I feel your pain the only thing that has stopped me from having a cheesburger is the fact that they tore down the one at my end of town to rebuild it into a huge one with slides. We do have about 4 others in the city but I don't need a cheesburger so bad i will drive to other end of town to…

This saturday i walked myself to my friends and used her scale............boy was i surprised i had guessed my starting weight to 157 i was really wrong i am a shocking 170 i was in tears. I couldn't believe i was that wrong. Even my friend was surprised as I honestly do not look that big at all. I felt sorry for myself…

way to go! :)

hi, I agree that water excersise is probably the best for you. I do not know much about your condition but I know alot of people who suffer from arthritis and other alingments affecting the bones much perfer doing water aerobic as you are weightless in the water there is no real impact on your bones but you still get a…

cm riverside i posted the same question under the scale topic yesterday. After eating all my my meals i stil had almost 500 calorise to spare i am not hungry i do not eat after seven. i am having a real hard time hitting my 1200 plus on work out days. As i have stated before i eat a wide varity of foods just in moderation.…

I know this is a little off topic but i weigh measure everything eat tonsof food and i still come up shy about 300 to 400 calorise a day after i log it in. I eat all foods bread, cheese, milk,potatoes with sour cream i even had pizza one day ( home made with whole wheat crust) I keep getting the message that i will starve…

I can totally relate once you get a taste of all those wonderful thanks giving foods who knows if you can control yourself to stop. I live in canada so are thanks giving was last weekend. I am a full beliver in everything in moderation there is no way you will stick with a diet that has you under lock and key you just have…

Well it has been 2 weeks since I have strarted and i have yet to step on a scale however i have been keeping my inches and i have lost a toal of 4.5 inches all over. ALthough i am very happy about this it is only I that can see the change and i am still many inches away from fitting into my pre baby jeans with out a role…

well iam not a doc or anything but that doesn't sound to good. It could be beacuse your not eating the extra food you earned from your excersie. I am on 1200 a day too but with my cardio and weight training i get an extra 360 that seems to be plenty form me today i had shreddies with sugar and milk for am ham sandwich for…

I live in in sudbury, ontairio canada we don't generally get alot of rain but we get alot of snow and i mean alot and it gets very cold. I would like to join a gym but then I would need a sitter for the two babies as my husband works till 7 every night and right now i am not comfortable leaving my 2 mnth old with anyone.…

SugarBear I am all for the encouragement that everyone gives each other but i am very disapointed with the many posts of "I lost one pound and gained it back the next day" I don't think it is healthy to be that obsessed with weight. Water retention changes day to day and that effects the numbers on the scale I Think a once…

I love my hair (i know that's a little vain but I really do) I am a wonderful mom (Having Great kids helps out alot) I love the fact that Iam adventurous

I agree that at 17 it is important to learn how to eat properly and regular excersise but don't obess over it I was a compettive figure skater for many years. I had to weigh in every week i became obessed with being thin and i made myself very sick, Once you learn that behaviour it is very hard to unlearn it. It will…

So it is another rain day and i was forced to use my work out videos again i decided to do hip hop cardio well I have been pregnant for 2 years consecutively and have not moved like that the whole time. I was so uncorodinated (don't know ho to spell) I can only imagine how silly I looked trying to follow the steps. it was…

i don't mind water at all but i find it difficult to drink 8 glasses a day i am lucky if i get 4 in. When i was following atkins i used crystal light i really liked the rasberry mix and the pink lemonade.

your doing great just keep at it. you may want to try adding a weight lifting routine to your training building muscle will help you to burn more calorise. Start off easy as you get stronger increase your weight and reps. The general rule of thumb is light weight more reps to build lean muscle and tone. The bonus to that…
