  • You can also make an Egg Casserole on the weekend and just pop a piece in the microwave in the morning. Spray the pan with Pam. Depending on what you are looking for. You can do a low fat crescent roll crust (I usually don't do the crust and just put the eggs the pan) and then scramble eggs (or egg beaters) with peppers,…

  • I can attest to the iron deficiency anemia from experience. Use to chew ice all the time. Ended up being diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. Still have iron issues to this day. Get to the doctors and have him check.

  • How about 'your not his mother' but I'm guessing that she didn't make his lunches either. For the record - I have a loving relationship with my husband, but when WE make our lunches to save OUR money, WE do it TOGETHER. Please tell me he is doing something else for the household or the family while you are making his…

  • "My Dr told me this week to take two Advil 1 hour before exercising. " Be careful with this response - there are many studies that show there are downsides to taking Advil BEFORE your workout. Here is one of them: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/01/phys-ed-does-ibuprofen-help-or-hurt-during-exercise/ I have always…

  • I guess it depends on the class, but I take a Kettlebell Cardio class (tough class) and the instructor says that you can expect to burn about 20 cal/minute. His class does have the cardio in it, so that ups the burn.

  • Yep - losing weight is probably it. MFP is smart enough to constantly use your current weight to calculate how much you burn.

  • Awesome program. I did it before running my first 5K. Lile the others have said - trust the program, most times your body can do it, it's your mind saying otherwise. With that being said, if you really struggle one week, just do that week again. And then move on. This program really taught me to trust my body - it is far…

  • I agree with the person that said to try it and judge from there. I did the C25K and had similar weeks. Your body will amaze you what it can do. It's our minds that keep telling us we can't do it. Every time I finished a work out, when I looked back it never felt as bad as what it did during the workout. My mind was…

  • I'm not good at measuring and weighing so I use the bowls and plates as a way to control my portions. I have replaced all the plates and bowls in my house to go with nothing but the smallest I can find. Corelle makes a nice small bowl that does not allow you to get more than 1 cup of cereal. For ice cream, I use ramekins -…
