Elliptical or treadmill... I have a treadmill and it's where I've lost most of my weight. I will be stepping up to an elliptical once the old mill is out of comission. Neither takes up much space and cardio workouts I believe provide a great way to burn fat.

Lets all argue about who knows more! I mean that's why we're here right? This thread sucks now.

preservatives are not a food group, there is no argument.

and regardless whats wrong with 200 cals for breakfast, that's almost nothing!

sorry theres no way that almost a lb of cantaloupe is 35 calories, where did you get that from? that's crazy! and that is alot of fruit to be eating at once, but to each his own.

Increase your water intake, you may not be as hydrated as you think you are and I know when I get dehydrated that's the feeling I get.

you're misinformed, not all green tea is decaf... only the stuff that has been decaf'ed is.

I dont understand, are you expecting green tea to make you lose weight on it's own because if you are you have it all wrong. The other thing is this, green tea is crap if you're buying bagged tea... it's garbage. Get yourself some good loose Green tea from a proper tea shop, that's the first step. The next thing is to…

sorry if I seem a bit sceptical but "calorie free" c'mon... how is that even possible. I know it says it on the container but think about it. Anyone else have a hard time believing that.... like what does your body do with it? Is it just waste?

I wish I could tell you but I've never made it, but maybe the water was too hot? I know with green teas if the water is too hot the infusion will produce a bitter tasting tea.

man those things are horrible for you... ok now that I got that out (sorry) are you absolutely sure that your servings are only 2/3 of a cup? that would mean that when it's cooked there are 2 2/3 cups of "potatos".... I dont know cause Im not there... perhaps you need to weigh the portions.

I dont know the answer to your quesiton but I do know that MFP is NOT a place for us to judge other people's fitness and/or weightloss methods. What you call "fad" dieting, others rely on as their regimen for fitness and health or weightloss. How would you feel if someone labelled your techniques as being simply a "fad". I…

I own one, one of the best things I've invested in for fitness so far. I just took the watch back to California Fitness where I originally bought it because it had a slight malfunction where some parts of the display were not showing up properly and without question they replaced it on the spot without asking me a million…

chew gum. It works.

lol excuse my ignorance on this one but what the heck is "fun sized"??

Ur husband doesn't know what he's talking about, that's a bunch of BS. Your body uses calories to perform all of it's functions not just when you work out. Does your husband know that food can stay in your system before it's expelled for up to 12 hours or more... maybe you should stop eating at breakfast then if what he's…

Yes I use infusers... I dont have a tea press and I prefer to infuse one cup at a time. it's great stuff... here's where I go, this is their website: www.teahaus.com

Honestly, I hope they do decide that... smoking around your children is disgusting and should be punished... maybe not by having your children taken away, yes that would be harsh... but so is putting cchildren through that kind of abuse. The other day I saw a mother of three smoking her brains out while driving her car. We…

Im taking Acai Blast and it's DOING SWEET F%#K ALL!!!!!!! Im sure it's good for me as an antioxidant but I notice nothing.

Im close but not close enough unfortunately... I live in Dorchester which is literally beside London.

r u kidding, a 64 POUND TODDLER??!! OMFG!! and you cant see why they stepped in?

I get you're angry but how can you take care of someone that cannot take care of themselves to begin with or have the intelligence to know that becoming pregnant while being that obese is a health risk? Seriously, think about it.

if 1/2 hour works for you that's fine but it's mostly a sugar rush if you're feeling it that fast... theres no way your body can metabolize food in 1/2 an hour... it wouldn't even be into your intestines yet right.

if you want to eat pre workout then eating right before you work out is not doing anything for you except making you feel full. It takes quite a while to digest food so if you are talking about benefiting from food pre workout then professionals recommed eating such foods two to three hours before the actual workout so…

London Ontario CANADA!!! currently residing in Dorchester (about 15 min from London)

it happens to everyone. Have a look at some of the foods you are eating and maybe change your diet a bit so your body doesn't know what to expect all the time. Also, work out a bit harder. If you run, maybe increase your speed or the distance you run for example. Try adding a bit of weight training if you dont do that…

my buddy Jesse uses muscle milk exclusively but it's VERY EXPENSIVE. Im talking about $50 Canadian for 12 cartons.... that sucks! Are you body building?

I dont know what wine you are drinking but any wine I've ever drank I would NOT consider it low calorie at all. Avoid beer. Vodka is ok, Rye is good for sure... not too bad on the cals. Try Vodka and water with a squeeze of real lime juice (NOT BAR LIME IT IS VERY HIGH IN CALS AND SUGARS)

I've never seen the pb/chocolate combo and I use Isoflex. I can tell you that the vanilla is delicious and the chocolate is totally disgusting > it tastes like Kahlua, which isn't all that bad, but not what I expected from "chocolate" and doesn't taste that great in the morning. Im going to try strawberry next and then PB…

It takes 3500 to gain a lb of fat yes... but you probably see a big difference on the scale today. Dont lose your focus though most of it will be retained water and extra weight from the extra food.
