I think you should make your weigh-in day Tuesday or Wednesday, so it's affected as little as possible by your "cheat" day. And I don't think it's a bad idea to designate certain days where you can eat a little more. They even do that on The Biggest Loser, I think they add like 500 extra calories for their daily goal the…

Oh my gosh I know exactly how you feel, I love coke but it is the only regular pop I drink. But one summer I worked as a lifeguard and on my way home I would stop by the gas station and get a 32 oz coke, and days I wasn't working a lot of times I would drink even more than that. I've found that not buying any at the store…

I've actually read a few different places that your body doesn't process foods you eat at 9am any differently than ones you eat at 9pm, it's all about what you eat. A lot of people just tend to eat too much/not well when it's at night.

Kind of unexpected... no sandwich at Chick Fil A has more than 500 calories. I read it in the book Eat This, Not That. It's a really really good book, you should check it out. It's not a diet book, it just compares nutrition info from similar items at either restaurants or the grocery store. It's awesome.

If you do try a tae bo video I would just say that it's hard at first to get coordinated and get the moves down but after a week or two it gets a…

I really really love Tae Bo with Billy Blanks, there are a bunch of different ones, and I love doing them. I don't have to work out in front of anyone else (which I hate) and I don't even feel like I'm working out. It's really enjoyable for me, I look forward to it. And most importantly, they work...really well. I would…

Why are you supposed to eat your exercise calories? I understand doing that if you are trying to maintain your weight but if you are trying to lose weight it doesn't really make sense to me. Does anyone know?

Also, there are a lot of sugary foods that now make lower sugar or sugar free versions and they usually taste just as good, and they usually have less calories also. There are popsicles, fudgsicles (my fave), jello pudding, etc, and even stuff like the flavored instant oatmeal.
