Hello! I always recommend people take time to review "Harvard Nutrition Source" - they have a great web site with lots of quality trustworthy information on Sodium - including ideas on how to reduce your intake! Here is a link you can cut and paste (or else just google Harvard Nutrition Source):…

I'm 5'4"... just reached my goal at 125lbs. I am very happy where I'm at - but need to continue to build muscle and tone up. I might try to drop another 5 lbs - but we'll see. At this point, it's more about toning and gaining strength than dropping lbs. for me. Best of luck to you! You CAN do it.

Agree! Check out the recipe forums for some simple things you can make from fresh foods. I really think by cutting back on the premade stuff (i.e. frozen foods, prepackaged foods, and meals out) you will be able to greatly reduce your sodium, cut back a bit on the carbs, and increase your protein. Don't get too hung up on…

I'm not a huge "early" morning breakfast person either. My breakfast is generally pretty low calorie (but I eat a larger lunch - or snack a little later. What works for me is simply a piece of good quality toast (like Alvarado Street Bread) and a Tablespoon of Peanut Butter. It's like 190 calories, tastes fine, and cooks…

1. Enjoyed a beautiful hike with the love of my life. 2. Got to warm up & relax in our own little hot tub - talk about feeling luxarious! 3. Seeing my cat, come in through her cat door right on time for her dinner.

Bay Area! :o)

Grilled burgers, so the fat drips out (as opposed to fried in the pan). And I say go ahead and eat a burger! I eat them once and a while (at a brew pub)... I will sub salad for the fries, and pass the cheese and mayo. I'll cut the burger in half... eat my salad and half the burger. If I'm honestly still hungry, I'll eat…

I noticed you live in Cali. I worked for a brief time at a clinic that worked with folks struggling with eating disorders. Check out this link to the clinic (also maybe go to the resources tab, for additional information): http://www.altabatessummit.org/eatingdisorders/index.html I don't know you, but I am concerned for…

I take TruNature Whole Food Vitimans from Costco.com. I used to take Rainbow Light for Women - but they were just too expensive. These seemed very similar, and the price was way better! I take them in the morning, along with an Omega-3 and a Vitiman D3. No problems with after taste, stomach issues, nothing. I feel good! :)…

Excellent suggestion! That's the bra Title Nine calls "the Last Resort Bra." It is awesome!
-
Okay - so I used to work for Title Nine (Women's athletic/active clothing store), and Sports Bras for women of all shapes & sizes were our claim to fame. I totally recommend you go to their web site. They have a new "sister company" dedicated to the bra called "Bounce," but you can get to it from the main page for Title…

5'4"... goal of 125lbs. Getting close to that, and will probably reassess after I build up some strength.

Tea or water is much better for you. Try flavoring your water with a splash of juice, or some fresh lemon, lime, mint, or cucumber. You might also look at Sparkling Mineral Water (i.e. Calistoga Mineral Water) as an option for a beverage. Obviously, the sugar content in regular soda is not good! Diet sodas "trick" our…

I agree! I find a walk is a great distraction. Brushing your teeth is a good one, too! Really "tells" you that eating time is over. :o) I mostly use tea, though for my cravings! Tea totally saves me, since there are so many great flavors out there. Peppermint, spice teas, fruit teas, and more. If I have a cup of tea, and…

I go by what's in seasoon... right now I love butternut squash It's very sweet & easy to cook - just chop up, rub with a tiny bit of olive oil, rosemary, and garlic - then roast, skin on in the oven. You can also cook them with a bit of water, in the microwave! Taste like candy! I love almost any kind of winter squash...…

Hello Ladies! I am on "Week 9" of the "Couch to 5K!" I can honestly say I NEVER thought I would be able to run 25 minutes... and it's really happening! You gals can SO do this, too. I have to admit - I stretched the program out A LOT. Some weeks, I repeated 2 times... but that's okay! Just keep going! This is kind of…
