I agree. That's why I stay away from Pineapples! I love them to death! But they are very high on the glycemic chart. I still count fruit in my sugars, but it's a better sugar than the processed candies and stuff. And I try to have 1 apple for some added fiber a day with peanut butter as well for a snack. And I'm not trying…

You admitted it and now it's time to move on. The best part about this - you can "restart" at anytime! Keep positive! You're ok! We all have these. I had almost a whole bag of cheddar popcorn this weekend watching a movie with my man. I knew better than to eat out of the bag! But it was so good!!! You're doing great!!!…

First off congrats on all your losses and changes! Second, I know you're "pain" about the gym. I hate it. Mostly because TOO many people and I like to do cardio more than the 20 minutes it tells you to be on (treadmills, elliptical, etc). I also understand the "people looking at me" thinking. I think the best thing to do…

I can not decline a good Olive Garden date. :love: ............ mmmmm Alfredo! When I go, if I go with my sister we end up splitting a meal. If I go with my boyfriend, I split in 1/4s or 1/2s, depending on my calories for the day and put the rest in a to-go box. And I fill up on the salad so when the bread-sticks and…

The key is consistency in your routine . . . . I used to weigh myself weekly, every Friday, 530 am after I went to the bathroom and before I took a shower. Now I just do it the first of every month - in the am after I go to the bathroom and before I shower. I haven't really seen the scale budge and even weekly, I'd get…

We're going to get technical about suggestions?

Those Perdue Chicken cutlets - already made are awesome! I like to fry 'em up in EVOO with some grillin seasoning and toss them on a nice cold salad. I added pecans to my salad yesterday for lunch. It was REALLY good! But you can either eat them right out of the bag or heat 'em up. They really are a great time saver too!!

Don't even try Dove chocolate. You'll never turn back! I can't control myself some days.

Same here. I've been doing 5 -6 days a week working out, staying around my calorie goal and I haven't really lost anything but one pound in a matter of two months. But I have lost inches! So it's not a big defeat. I'd say we need to switch up something. Are you doing the same work out? Maybe longer cardio time or interval…

Hmmmm . . . . . dairy. If you're lactose intolerant, that can do it sometimes as well.

Taking any kinds of medications? I know when I was on Depo I would bloat REALLY bad! It was horrible. The same thing with you - I'd wake up in the am and look fabulous, by lunch time I was felt huge like a giant balloon! I tried Gas X, Beano, Tums . . . . I'm off Depo now, but every once in awhile I will get that way…

Amen. I don't weigh myself the week before and the week during. I can fluctuate 3 - 5 lbs sometimes. I retain a lot of water. So i just skip the weigh ins.

HRMs were inaccurate compared to the ones on machines? This is shocking!

That makes sense!

Herbal tea packets - usually flavored or green tea. I also like the Gatorade G2

Thanks everyone! I think I'll take your advice and get fitted by the Footlockers or sports stores and see if they can help me out. I hear New Balance and Nike's are really good. So we shall see

Diddo!!! I like Salada Green Tea with Pomegranate and Berry.

It's kind of pricey, but I hear FatGirlSlim and FatGirlSleep work really well. I use St Ive's cellulite control (something like that) for my midsection/hips/thighs. Not sure if that could help?

My go-to snacks are Apples with PB Celery sticks Cocoa Roasted Almonds or dry roasted, no salt Peanuts 100 Cal packs Milk or cheese sticks

What people do for fame . . . . . this is sick! $815 dollars in groceries? Does she realize what's she doing to herself? Her child? 12,000 calories a day. Whatever. I hope too, she does not get too publicized for this!! Just sick! AND WHO PAYS TO SEE HER WEBSITE??? That's just sick!! My stomach is churning . . . . :grumble:

I was doing the 1200 + exercise calories and that just wasn't enough for me. I would listen more to a doctor or nutritionist before the computer as well as stated by Mellie13. After readying about BMR and calories when active, 1200 was not enough for me. I have about 20-25 pounds that I would like to lose. My body was not…

I'm in the same boat. My knees have been killing me lately. Even doing Jillians 30 Day Shred, sometimes the lunges and squats are killer! But I've always had knee problems. Just lately, they've really been bothering me. I also think I need new shoes with more support.

Not just violence in our country, but in our schools. How often do we hear that school shootings and violence was an act of a lonely kid? An outcast? And we do THIS? This girl is happy. She wants to share with her friends and girl friend. Why do we have to take that away from her? Or any kids for that matter?

Have you read the other news article in relation to that? A school has excluded a photo of a girl in a tux? C'mon people? What happen to freedoms of America? Are they REALLY HURTING ANYONE? http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-10-18-yearbook-photo-lesbian_N.htm?obref=obinsite

Yea, i agree. I'm sure she's going to take a much professional approach to the principal than she is to us.

So we have kids running around in black trench coats, mohawks, and black make up, but a girl wearing a tux to an event? These people are cracked! Let her be!

I agree. We talk about not discriminating against races, why sexuality? It's NOT hurting anyone!!!

How about TOM? I know I get fatigued real easy when I know my "friend" is due.

Me too! I love halters!

I try to keep it light about 2 hours before a work out. I usually have an apple with PB or 5 wheat/multi grain crackers with PB and water. I like a glass of chocolate milk post work out. :smile:
