@JI very handsome, def a 9.

Hey Denise, as of 8/7 i have a total of 30.5 miles.

I completely agree. cutting back on carbs seems to work for me as well. I am not a carb hater either, but if it works.. it works.

Hey there Lady :) long time since we "talked". This challenge sounds awesome. Can I join? I would like to try for 200 miles please. Thanks!!

OMG, why would anyone post someone elses personal details on a social media site?? I would be devistated if someone did that to me... serious violation of trust. It is one thing for you to post your own business, but to display someone else's life like this??? No class!

I completely agree! there is seriously cause for concern here.

ok, it seems like there is someone here who wants to be argumentative, which was not my intention. This product is an alternative to regular soy sauce. However, it is made from soy beans, there for it is "soy sauce". To answer the question of the original poster. It is a good product, in my opinion, and tastes great in…

She is right, i was not looking at the serving size.. Braggs is 320mg per teaspoon.

Oh, and Braggs liquid aminos IS soy sauce, read the label

YES!! This stuff is GREAT and very very low sodium!

My husband and I both get picked on at work for our healthy eating habits. People will curl their nose and say "how do you eat that stuff". I just laugh and look at their oil soaked fries and say, "really?". I think people do it because picking on you makes them feel better because they just don't have the will power to…

OMG! You look AWESOME!!! Fantastic job!!!!!

I also drink coffee before i exercise. One thing to note though: what are you putting in your coffee and what does your exercise consist of? If you are putting sugar (carbs) in it and then run on the treadmill (cardio), you are really burning off the energy from the carbs first and not from fat. If you are strength…

Hi Suzeq, I feel completely the same way. I have actually gained weight since i first joined this website. I had dropped some in 2010, but i gained it back plus. I am also restarting this year! Good luck and I am certainly open to some friend support! Stacy

That is the best quote ever, well, that and "The battle of losing weight is fought in your mind"...

a not so popular band called 3rd Strike. Gets me pumped every time :)

I would like to join as well. :)

Good points! I say if your losing and your confident in what your doing, don't spend the extra money. Use it for something fun :happy:

I am having the same trouble. I found this quote and went "aa ha".. Maybe helpful to you maybe not.. but here it is.. "You cannot override the laws of thermodynamics and energy balance. You must be in a calorie deficit to burn fat. This will force your body to use stored body fat to make up for the energy deficit. There…

This is a great thread. Everyone has really good advise and tips to share. I have been down this road as well and it is not a good feeling. Thanks for the tips everyone :flowerforyou:

yes, sugar is sugar, however you are not getting the fiber and other nutrient benefits from the brownie. Seriously, eat the fruit and give the brownie to that lucky SOB with a naturally high metabolism (like my boyfriend.. he is rediculous.. so jealous.. :) Remeber though, drinking fruit juice is similar to eating a…

I think eating "exercise calories" sort of defeats the purpose of a caloric deficit for losing weight. I have been doing some research and speaking with fitness and nutrition specialists about my plateau and the census from all of them is that you need to stick with your goal number with or without exercise and have 2…

I want to be in the best shape of my life by my next birthday (May 16th). My goal is to be at 18-23% body fat

Tom Venuto (loving sigh after I say his name!!) did this article on carbs http://www.burnthefat.com/BIG_FAT_LIES_8_the_low_carb_lie.html It might be helpful to you, or it might not. Might be worth the read though. Here is a peice of it: "If you remove most of your carbohydrates from your diet for a long period of time,…

Julia, that is funny!! LOL. It will be like a mini vacation when you read your postcard.. lol :)

Yes, starts Friday and THANKS!! The postcard challenge is a 2 week challenge for the most pounds lost. The winner will get a congrats postcard from the host's home town and will be the host for the next round. Megamom started the challenge (THANKS :) so I will be getting a postcard from her (YAY)!! It is an inexpensive why…
