Peoples opinions and results will vary with the calories. Some eat their exercise calories, some do not. I personally eat about half of mine. (figure I save room for human error on calculating my food and exercise burn) Unless I'm hungry, then I'll eat all of them. You'll learn what works for you. Just try to stay above…

If you go to the message boards and so a search for the topic of sugar you will find many different threads. Peoples opinion vary wildly on this topic. I agree with the first poster - if it's coming from fruit and not processed sugar - you should be fine - IN MODERATION. I have fruit every day and it hasn't been an issue…

20 serving out of a 9x9 pan? Those suckers are gonna be damn tiny! But I bet still yummy! Sounds good Becca!

bumbity-bumb-bumb-bump Holy yummy sounding! Thanks for the ideas!

and don't over cook them! I don't like them if they are mush! If they are aldente I'm game for almost any veggie. Even beets - who knew!!

Sounds like it's time to find a new job!

Stand up for your self. Go to her boss or HR if you have to. If you talk to her like an adult there shoudn't be an issue, and if she fires you for that I would assume that they have other reasons to fire you or they would have legal issues on threir hands. Don't let someone like that bully you.

Do you know how to keep those garden cucumbers fresh? Wrap them in Saran Wrap. They will stay good for weeks!!! Not kidding - WEEKS - I have one that I got three weeks ago that I'm having for lunch today. Steph:flowerforyou:

Jillian Michales 30 Day Shred $9 for the video - walmart/target/amazon.com 3 lb hand weights.

I did the thrift stores in the upper income neighbor hoods. I found close that still had the tags on them. Then when you shrink out of them you can donate them back.

In the oven now! Can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing!

Damn!

I can't do high impact either but I found that you can modify almost any exercise to be low impact. I walk almost every day - getting my heart rate up so I'm sweatin - no sissy walks! I also do Jillian Michales DVD's. 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones gives you both cardio and weights. (you only need 3 lb hand weights).…

Nike - Just Do It! Life is full of things that we don't want to do. That's how most of us got fat in the first place. We didn't want to, so we didn't. You'll feel better if you just do it! Steph:flowerforyou:

I'm from Wisconsin too guys - If I can do it - so can you!

Good luck sista! It's a hard thing to do when your social life revolves around it - trust me - I know!

Get a heart rate monitor. I burn anywhere from 250-350 depending on the day. BUT - that's me. Steph:flowerforyou:

Ok - you guys are fricken awesome! Thanks for the good laughs this morning! LMAO! Woop! Happy Friday - Love me some aspertame!

Wonder where you got this saying from.......hmmmmmm

change the IMG on both ends of the link to be img and they should show.....

Yeah! Good choice!

I'm very happy about that decision! If you're serious enough to have a surgery to lose weight, you're serious enough to do it with out the surgery! You are a part of an awesome website with some very awesome people. You need a kick in the butt, a sholder to cry on, a pat on the back, we're all here for that! Just remember…

Hey - thanks! That was nice of you to say!

Mine is Jillian Michaels and who ever else is with her that day in the videos. She kicks my butt on a regular basis.

The only thing I can suggest is switchin up your work out plan, bring it harder if you can, and get serious with what you're eating. I haven't checked out your food diary, but make sure that you're eating at least 1200 calories, and mabye some of the exercise calories. Just don't put yourself into starvation mode. If you…

I guess it depends on how much weight you have to lose.

If you want it, you will find time to work out. Don't limit your exercise to the gym! I haven't stepped foot into one! Glad you're here! Welcome!

You will learn quickly that you need to make those calories count. Eat up on lots of fiber and protein to keep you full. Get your fruits and veggies. You'll be fine. There's a learning curve, but you'll find what keeps you full You can check out my food diary if you'd like. I am rarely hungry during the day. Except maybe…
