There is NOTHING wrong with exercising every day. Obviously, there are some that allow it to get to a point where it is unhealthy, however exercise can make you happier during this tough time that you're not employed. This could a great time that you get that bf% down, too since you have more time to focus :) Ang

Ditto the others. MOVE ON and learn from your mistakes :). All in moderation, but I also find that if I bake it or buy it, it is eaten.

Welcome and this is a great community for support! Please feel free to friend me for motivation and support :) Ang

I did WW several years ago and while I lost 35 lbs, I was not eating "food". I hated that they pushed smartones and all of the WW processed junk. This I didn't really realize until I started having GI issues and learned to control with REAL food - fruit,veggies, etc..... If you're looking for support, please message me or…

Weekends are tough for me but because I'm such a structured person. I find the chaos of the weekends and lacking the schedule meaning I have difficulty eating enough. Fitness is easier because I teach group fitness at the local gym. Just focus on making this a lifestyle rather than a burden. Include your family in…

Sorry you're getting discouraged but I'm sure things will get better! I'm looking at your diary, I know its mainly natural but how much sugar are you getting? I would love to see the overage on that. Could you replace some things with more vegetables and hummus maybe? 1200 is pretty low for you. I'm 5'2 and 120 with a 1200…

I would love to see your diary to see what you are eating . I stick to 1200 on days I don't exercise (just my rest days) but otherwise 1500-1800 on days I exercise. I keep the nutrition lean and clean, primarily vegan so it really is TONS of food for the calories. I also try to eat smaller meals throughout the day which…

I'm 5'2" and have had 2 children and with clean eating and exercise I've actually got a belly that is in better shape than BEFORE kids. Was it easy? not at all but now it's a lifestyle! Message me and I'll describe what I did to get there :)

Feel free to add me :) FT working mom - I am a dental hygienist 36-4o0 hrs and teach at the YMCA. Meal planning on Sundays, workouts are when I can schedule them in. I usually do my workouts at home in my basement before or after my girls get up. I teach 2 hrs, 2 nights per week so that's a great burn ! Rule in our home:…

beans, almonds, almond/peanut butter, lentils, quinoa. Do you eat dairy? Maybe some good greek yogurt?

I LOVE almond milk! I don't drink much milk at all and find this more friendly to my digestion. I actually make my own in my vitamix which is friendlier on my budget!

I've been making turkey meatloaf muffins (Jamie Eason's recipe). I LOVE them! quick and easy as I make them on Sunday's, baggy them for the week so my hubby and I can grab them in a hurry. I use these as my lunch protein. My husband is training for a 1/2Ironman so he is eating 3000+ cals/day. I try to make sure there is a…

Great job! I've done 2 rounds and LOVE it. I'm currently doing PUMP and am really enjoying that!

Obviously, your body needs food at this time, so eat! Just plan it into your calories for the day. I always carry fruit and almonds.

I'd switch it and if he says something, unfriend him and let him know the issue.

Honestly, I'm not even concentrating on lack of carbs but trying to eat clean (which most breads/pastas do not fit into the category). Being a carb lover, I've not even realized I'm really not eating carbs. Obviously, If I choose to, it'll be in my calorie limit and a healthy serving vs engorging on a plate of pasta.…

Honestly, I'm wondering if your protein is too low? Get some healthy, wholesome fat in there. I make turkey meatloaf muffins (Jamie Eason's recipe) and eat them for lunch every day. This totally helps to hold me over as I rarely have time for an afternoon snack. 2cups grd turkey breast 1 cup quick oats 4 egg whites 2 tbsp…

Ditto. Think about how you feel afterwards???? LIKE TOTAL CRAP. Especially when what you at was unhealthy and left you wanting more food (because you need actual nutrition). Are there times I take a bite of something? or make a wrong choice? Sure but I totally don't plan that at all. It's setting yourself up for failure.…

Ditto! I love to mix fruit with mine! I've also heard pumpkin works well!

My gastroenterologist carries it :) He does gastic surgeries and also has nutrition counseling for his patients and this is something he rec's to them.

FIrst off - CONGRATS! That first week is ROUGH! I lost 9 lbs/12% BF with the full 90 days. I LOVED it . I found that I had the best results when I ATE CLEAN (which I'm currently doing). Keep it up! Feel free to message me with any questions!

Congrats!! Now you get to work on a 10k :P That's my next race (in May).

Personally, I actually am much more satisfied eating often. Ditto - depends on the person. Obviously, there is no one-size-fits-all. I also up my cals on the days I workout hard (cal cycling). It keeps me energized and going. Side note: I do have hypoglycemic tendencies so eating protein often helps me. Also: women LOVE…

i also graze throughout the day. breakfast - Protein shake , snack - almonds/fruit, lunch - salad/protein/fruit, dinner - protein/veg What are you doing for workouts?

I have a protein shake w/berries and Keifer every morning. I also eat frequently so shake at 6:30 and snack at 9:30 :)

almonds? I actually make Jamie Eason's Turkey muffins and those are a GREAT way to get low calorie protein in!

Any Beachbody coach does coaching for free :) I've drank Shakeology for 2+ yrs now. I've tried others because of the cost but was left feeling like the others weren't as filling (one, a MEAL replacement shake shouldn't be only 80calories), and I LOVED that there isn't one ingredient in this that I wouldn't feed my…

I often drink hot water with lemon in it during winter :)

Dental hygienist here and honestly, I'm surprised people drink as much pop as they do. I had one gal upset with me because she had 7 new cavities but drinks a 2lt/day of Coke. Terrible stuff!

SAME :) I actually make my own almond milk with my vitamix
