Or you can MAKE your own bars. Here's the recipe for Jamie Eason's Chocolate Protein Bars! http://www.eatcleandiet.com/the_kitchen_table/recipe/recipe.aspx?id=570

You can search this topic. I remember commenting on a similar thread. Basically I burn around 500-600 on a class. Some people burn way less and some burn way more.... It's hard To say. The website was overestimating mine by almost 300 cals! PS. I use a Polar FT4

Hahhaahhahahhahahhaha!!!

I'm 5'5 and 172 pounds but I think I'm pretty muscular :p

You can still lose weight-- just not fat. When your body does not have the necessary fuel from food it starts eating away your muscles for energy. I started with 1200 cals as MFP suggested but as I became more educated about food and my body I realized that I needed to eat more (and clean). I eat around 2000 cals when I…

Since when did eating 500 calories a day and taking hormone medicine to lose weight sound like a good idea? I suggest you eat your recommended calories, exercise when you can and lose weight the way it was intended. People here have lost over 100+ pounds doing it, so can you! :)

Hahahhaha!!! I used to run last year and this was my favorite song!!! You're too funny!

^^ couldn't have said it better. It sounds odd but if sometimes You need to EAT more to bump up your metabolism. It worked for me! Undereating is not healthy eating. Eat back those cals ladies

You may need to eat more calories based on your weight and activity level. Do you eat your exercise calories back? Dont want to starve your body and slow your metabolism!

great job!!!! you work really hard and it shows. I'm very proud of you and you're a total inspiration!!!

GREAT JOB!!!! and i love your profile picture :) very funny !

Yes!! I have cheat meals or days and I log everything into my diary. It keeps me accountable!

^^ this. I keep eating half an avocado every day & olive oil and going Over my fats :( but hey at Least it's healthy fat! I also bought a smart balance light mayo that has omega 3 fats. Might wanna try that :)

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably IS. Just stick with regular water to clean your system. There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going.

honey this is a GREAT NSV!!!! You need to post some before and after pictures in the forums! You look GREAT and you're truly inspiring :):) great job, skinny girl!

I'm really okay with not eating sweets, I don't have a sweet tooth BUT I LOVE savory stuff, especially fried stuff (chicken, shrimp, tofu, anything) haha

THIS!! Couldn't have said it better! People need to check their ego at the door and do whatever feels RIGHT! :)

After reading Mike Geary's "The thruth about six pack abs" I decided I would incorporate one cheat day per week. If I'm extremely good (by eating clean) for a whole week I make it a cheat day. If not, just a cheat meal. I've lost 18 pounds in less than three months so it's been working for me. According to Geary, it boosts…

Yoga poses shouldn't hurt. You work your way towards the more advanced poses. It took me almost a year to get into a headstand and there were a lot of postures I made to work my way to that. I've been lucky enough to have instructors that understand and promote that you're not competing against anyone (not even yourself)…

There's no way of exactly knowing unless you have a HRM. I used that website before I bought my HRM and it was way off. I burn from 550-700 but I do high impact!

You're awesome, that's why we're friends!

Mediating also helped me :)

Todays my 34th day smoke free. I quit cold turkey and have kept losing weight, contrary to what others might say. Sometimes I get cravings but I know they won't last more than a minute. Good luck! Ps: my skin looks so much better, I can exercise without feeling short of breath and I never have to worry about my "next cig…

Awesome job!!! Keep it up :) you look amazing

You look absolutely stunning and I'm glad you took your time and made it a lifestyle change instead of a sprint!

I was a PhD student last year and was pretty active. I KNOW what it feels like to feel you don't have time to do anything but always remember that your health and happiness goes first and if that means MAKING 30 minutes of your time to be very active then so be it. Papers and research can wait an hour! I just tried to plan…

This is truly a success story! Congratulations on your journey and for pushing yourself every day. People like you are admirable!!!

What do you mean? That you burned 50 calories extra even after finishing your workout? If so, your body is always burning calories, even at rest.... You can put it on while sleeping and you'll be burning calories

I was going to write MEMENTO but I saw two other people already did. Nevertheless, MEMENTO! Loved that movie and it's ending is super badass!

Remember women retain a lot of water... if it IS water just lower your sodium intake for the next few days and check your weight out again. BTW you should start taking your measurements. When I joined a lot of friends here recommended it and it's been awesome. My scale is moving slowly but inches are falling off since I'm…
