I have used green tea a right on my face. Steep a few bags of green tea in a cup and store in the fridge, Use a cotton ball to apply, just like you are using a toner. You'd be amazed how it tightens up your pores. I've struggled with acne as well.... a long time. Working out definitely releases toxins in your body and can…

Hi superbman and everyone, Just wanted to say thanks. I really appreciate the help and comments... I think I might actually give myself a break with spending too much time at the gym and being a little more strict on what I eat and when. I thought maybe I could get away with a piece of dark chocolate each night, but I…

Thanks for replying. I do get home from the gym by 630 so that's not too bad. I do drink a lot of water, just fail to log it. Sodium is a good possibility, I might have to watch that, and yeah I guess I need to really watch my net calories on my heavy workout days. Its sad to work so hard and barely see results! Live and…

thank you tulip07!!! I just might have to start limiting salt, and start restricting some other foods. I am trying to avoid having to really limit myself with foods as we all know this is a lifestyle change and I think its ok if we want have a piece of dark chocolate here and there or glass of wine or even some pizza. i…

Thank you, but while that might work for you... it seems very unhealthy to me. I do not want to cut my calories so low and only do 17 minutes of exercise. I enjoy working out and need it to keep me sane. I have been around the block with fad diets and know this time it might be slower, but healthier. I suppose I am just…

Some days I do, but I am also conscious of trying to create the deficit!!!!! This is such a journey!!! And it seems now that I am educating myself so much on it, the harder it is! Its nutty!

I'd say it is more 1500 calories on normal days and close to 1800 on days I workout. I feel I eat 3 very good meals with 2 snacks and never go hungry. I can't bring myself to eat calories remaining. If I feel weak, heck yeah I will eat, but feel completely healthy and that I get enough (sometimes more than enough) for…

sorry cup of coffee with almond milk not almond butter!!!! that would be some intense thick coffee!

I have been doing 1 banana, 2 boiled eggs, and one rice cake with 1 tbsp almond butter and cup of coffee with almond butter (I have been adding just a touch of honey and cinnamon on the rice cake, but honey adds up quickly!!!) I also want to try and cut down to one egg for calories great ideas though I've also been…

Hi you can add me as well, I have 25 to lose :)

Thank you both! I appreciate the replies. I also noticed another post similar to what I was asking as well. Very helpful community! It is definitely interesting being able to track all of this and see what does work for us.... and I honestly think you have to be ready to discipline yourself to track in consistently! Thanks…
