You can also try dry peas and beans. You can soak them overnight and boil them. It takes some planning ahead, but it's really cheap. We use chick peas like this to make batches of hummus. Also eating things that are in season tends to be a little cheaper.

When you set your goals, it asks you how active your lifestyle is largely based on your job. So pick the one that fits it best and then the calories that you burn at work will already be factored in. As a vet student, my lifestyle is pretty sedentary in regards to daily activity, so I set mine to sedentary. When I work the…

If you google "workout videos," you can find a lot of free things you can stream--all kinds of things. I do that on rainy days when walking/running outside is not a good option.

Maybe try upping your calories with some raw nuts or avocado?

2 kgs in a month is not ridiculous--it's right on target! Something IS happening! Four pounds in a month is good, steady weight loss at the rate of one pound per week. That is a 500 calorie deficit per day, everyday. It takes 3500 calories burned in excess of consumption to lose one pound, so you can accomplish that in a…

Somehow managed to LOSE two pounds on a week of vacation. Woohoo! I have the water and the exercise down pat--ran intervals today instead of just a couple slowish miles--ouch! Will have to try harder with the fruits and veggies for this next week. My official weigh-in is tomorrow--I'll let you know how it goes!

I just went on a trip recently and had a lot of the same worries, but it actually turned out WAY better than I thought. I didn't have access to the internet during the trip, so I logged my food and exercise on paper. I didn't have any way of knowing exactly how many calories I was eating/burning, so I was pleasantly…

Hey guys! I got my 8 glasses in yesterday (Monday), and I'm on glass #2 for the morning. I'll be on vacation most of this week so I won't see what's going on with the group, but best of luck to everyone! By the, I guess I forgot to list my numbers originally...I am at 140.0 and would like to be at 130.0 by September 1.…

I have really bad knees too! I'm supposed to do lunges and squats as part of my physical therapy to help them, but some days that just doesn't work. I do leg lifts with my quads tensed, laying on my back and then on each side, bottom leg and top leg. You can add ankle weights if you want. I also balance on one leg with my…

I'm in too!

I second the vote for the doctor. A general doctor might refer you to an orthopedic doctor, but either way they can actually diagnose what is wrong, rather than just make it feel better in the short term. Since this has never happened before, it's a good idea to find out what is going on, rather than possibly damaging it…

Have you tried eating nuts? For me plain, unsalted walnuts, almonds, or pecans can be a great snack. They're easy to pack for a busy day, and you can just eat a few at a time. Hope that helps!
