I have no idea what this is, but I'm going to research the crap out of it and try it...you all make it sound so good!!! :smile: Thanks for the post - i love to learn about new health products!:flowerforyou: Update...went to: http://www.milliondollarbody.com/shakeology/science.htm and now I'm going to order it if I can…

My friend uses the walk/run technique (some walking some running according to what her body tells her she needs to do)....and it helped her finish her first marathon. Good luck! Let us know how you did! :flowerforyou:

HEB makes a fuly cooked bacon that I eat every day...3.5 slices are 80 calores and is listed in the food diary....if you don't have HEB, check out the other fully cooked bacons - they are not as high in calories....surprisingly, neither is regular bacon. Enjoy

Monday through Saturday I run 7-9 miles in the morning Monday and Wednesday I switch between lower and upper body for 45 minutes respectively Tuesday and Thursday, I lift weights for 30 minutes with my trainer Saturday I work legs and abs and throw in ellipitical for 20 minutes Sunday I run 9-11 miles and nothing more

Just remember your "free" foods (veggies, sugar free jello, veggie soup, etc) if you get hungry (you should never be hungry on Jenny)....you can eat all the above foods that you want without fear. Good luck to you and be proud of your decision. I learned a lot about myself while on the plan. It's funny - I started on the…

So...you have lost 4 feet, 13 inches? Get yourself a ribbon and cut it to this length. Next, begin logging your water, log your calories before you eat and get back to what you know works....We are still here for you and you can still do this! Seriously...4 feet and 13 inches later - you should high five yourself!!! That…

sigh...I was bored over the weekend and ended up running 15 miles on Saturday and 17 on Sunday. Now I'm still bored, but I have to be bored in my chair because I can't move....haha :ohwell: . I completely sympathize!

I lost 48 pounds on Jenny and am a former counselor for them....anything I can do to help...I have LOTS of good info...they really want you to learn to eat on your own and I am here for you. It took approximately 7 months and in the past 7 years, I only put 15 pounds back on (which I have successfully taken back off). Just…

Okay - here's my opinion (popular or not), I say if you want a diet soda, have a diet soda. There is so much conflicting information out there, that it is difficult to tell what's what. If you have had no adverse reaction to the terrors of diet soda, then I say go nuts. Remember when they said not to eat chicken and eggs…

Hi Becca and welcome... You can do one of two things...either enter the words "strength training" then let MFP (my fitness pal) determine the calories for you, or better still, get a heart rate monitor (much more accurate) so you can track your workouts in real time. Hope this helps. :flowerforyou:

I agree, they are awful. I only found one that I liked and now I cannot remember the name. Go figure. :noway:

I have been using a pedometer for a year now (along with my Polar F6) and I love it..... http://www.virginhealthmiles.com/ This site allows you to "buy" stuff with your miles...it's awesome! The pedometer itself is only $25.00 and you can download the information for a small fee every day.

I eat all the time...ALL the time....but it's mostly munching on veggies (tons and tons of veggies)....I am positive I am not going into starvation mode...my weight loss has been steady (in fact, I'm very close to my goal), and I feel better than I ever have in my life...I had a complete physical, a metabolic panel taken…

Thats awesome!!! There are really great 1/2 training sites online that show you the best way to improve your endurance quickly. Good luck and let us know how you are doing! :flowerforyou:

Welcome back! We're still here for you! :flowerforyou:

Why You Should Eat What You Crave You've been told way too often to resist cravings. You know: "When cookies call, munch on carrots. When ice cream screams, scoop up some cottage cheese." Yeah, right. Better advice: When you've just gotta have it, give in -- but eat the healthiest version of whatever it is you're lusting…

Made a Mistake? Make a YOU-Turn Have you enjoyed a few forkfuls of a coworker's cake or picked at your friend's fries? That's OK. You're going to make wrong turns. You're going to be tempted by not-so-good-for-YOU foods. Does that mean you should steer off the dietary cliff and fall into the fatty crevasse of destructive…

Well jeeze, I guess when you put it that way, I am being pretty stupid, aren't I? I don't think I've ever thought about it in those terms before. Yes, this is what I am doing. I guess it's time for a change. Thank you....truly.

Great advice...thank you so much. You're right...I haven't eaten a huge meal for two months.....this means I will be able to eat tomorrow too! YEAH!

I am on 1200 calories per day. My average is 963 calories per my HRM. I run 9 miles every morning, lift weights and use an elipitical. Each morning is about 2 hours Monday through Friday and I'm at the gym from 7:00 to around 12:00 Saturday and Sundy (but this includes sauna/steam room/shower time). I rarely eat my…

Okay - so, no cheating - AT ALL...I quit eating my exercise calories about a month ago. I burn an average of 968 calories at the gym every morning...today including. Tonight I am going to the Olive Garden. I can have the Seafood Portofino (mussels, scallops, shrimp and mushrooms with linguine in a garlic-butter wine sauce)…

Man, plateaus can make you crazy, right? I increased my cardio and added another 30 minutes to my weights and for a week, I ate most of my exercise calories (tricks your body into remembering that you want to accomplish once you drop the bottom out on the calories and start taking in the mandatory 1200-1300). This may be…

Thanks everyone!

dedicate yourself to it completely.

I agree with astarte09.....I saw a photo of myself and realized that "those pants do not even fit me anymore..." I hate that moment. I hung the photo on my fridge for the longest time.

I hate lunges...HATE them but... I had knee problems...nothing an x-ray could find, but enough to cause chronic pain. I kept this from my trainer because I did not want her to treat me differently. She asked me to do squats, and I swear to God, I was screaming with fear inside...but I did them. My knee pain left me after…

I thank you for this post! I will not be eating potstickers any time in the near future. Wow. How unfair is THAT? Seriously! I mean, why would someone make something that doesn't have chocolate in it be 500 calories each? It would probably have stumped the majority of us....forgive yourself and move on. It's truly okay.…

Contrary to popular belief, if you stay within your daily calories, it does not matter how late you eat (this is a myth). Some people do not eat their exercise calories and this works for them. You will know if you are not eating enough if your weight jogs up and down a couple of pounds...it's the best indicator of not…

I hate it when people say it to me....but I find that I say it to myself whenever I want to fall off the deep end and eat a couple pizzas. lol. I will tell you that I HATE it when people comment on my food (amount, content, anything).... But I promise, I will never quote your most hated line to you ever...okay? I'm on your…

Love my Polar F6...but the cheapest one I've found was $104.00. I joined Virginhealthmiles.com through my gym and was able to earn one through exercise steps. I'm pretty sure anyone can join. Check it out.
