  • I only log in once a week on Friday's because weight does tend to fluctuate during the week. While I still check it daily (or my Wii does) I only log Friday's. Also, I don't want all the Facebook updates going all week :bigsmile:
  • My son is trying to gain weight after losing about 40 pounds after an accident in March. He has 2 Ensure Plus shakes a day and we give him whatever he wants of what I'm eating. I don't want him to put on just junk pounds, especially since he may have residual physical limitations that will make it harder for him to take…
  • Did you have fun? Then don't worry about it. A few pounds may creep back, but you can shake them off and get back on track. Never know, you might have done your a metabolism a favor! L
  • I think she might mean burning 425 a day.
  • Read ingredients, too. I used to be big on premade marinades thinking they made prepping meats so east. Recently, though, I realized they are all high in fructose corn syrup. :noway: I stay well away from those now and use rubs or my own marinades. Many packaged foods I try to think how I can make it myself. I do make a…
  • I was going to suggest the same thing with the addition of the pomodoro pizza on whole wheat. Some of the sandwichs look good, but I would see if you could sub out the sides for fruit or a fresh tossed salad. BTW, decent prices for a NYC restaurant. Might have to give it a try next time I am up there. L
  • Love that idea! Guess it's key to make sure all the books are the same height, huh? :) What I do is pick an area I want to work on, say core. Then I find strength/yoga that works those areas for about 10-15 minutes. Then I pick 3 x3 in the Routines. Aerobics is next and I'll do the runs, steps, or boxing. After that I cool…
  • Is that like a Spin class or actual cycling?
  • I concur with the other replies and want to touch on something no one else has. A goal to lose 20 lbs is great. But to fit into the dress is where my eyebrow goes up. I take it the dress is ordered already and you bought one a size you would like to wear. I hope that works out for you, but I have seen friends and others…
  • I tried coffee grounds, baby oil and wrapping legs in cellophane. Let me tell ya, it was a mess!!! Not to mention, the results were negligible if any at all. L
  • Do you have a link to the Couch to 5K program you are using? I googled it, but there seems to be a few of them out there. Thanks, L
  • I should clarify, I consumed extra calories, not have them left over. I had a good weekend as in a bit indulgent, not like good I behaved myself. L
  • Uphill both ways? :)

  • I agree with miqisha about calling it a cheat day. I have been enough diets in my life time to know that when you start denying yourself foods around you that others are enjoying you start to resent your diet and things go downhill from there. Survey the options, make smart ones, but if you really want a burger... have a…

  • I enjoy wine. I have tried all kinds of diets and probably like many of you I end up crashing them because I over denied myself. So, this time around, its about choices. I'm not looking to loose lots of weight quickly, but long term by making smarter choices. If that means I have 1 glass instead of 2, but rather than none,…
