I tried microwave zucchini noodles. The kind in a steambag you just throw in the microwave. Way too watery and mushy.

LOVE!!!

Feeling down in the dumps. My weight has not budged since last week when I started weight training again. This always seems to happen when I start working out more and it has me thinking, why bother?? I keep telling myself it's water weight from the soreness I have. Also, my skinny jeans felt more uncomfortable this…

I feel like I lift better barefoot, but I'm so afraid I'm going to drop something on my damn toe :# Socks are too slippery in my garage, I have those mats underneath.

Oh, and I'm not looking for it to be a fat-burner of any sort...I need it strictly for energy.

My brother is a gym nut/supplement junkie and swears by Dymatize. I just ordered some for myself. After a long day of work and a long commute, I need something to give me a little energy to push through.

My response exactly.

A whole "bad" cheat day can easily destroy a whole week of progress. Been there, done that.

You're 5'4 and 116lbs, and you're trying to lose more??

Oh, good grief. a) The original poster is not getting it...it you're truly counting the calories of the drink and including it in your total, there's something else going on. You don't have to give them up. b) To the people who are saying they have 400 cals; you can get the "light" version ( I get a mocha "light frapp…

I couldn't do keto as it's way too restrictive for me..however, my brother has been on it for over a month and is having great success. He eats a lot of butter, eggs, avocados...I'm sure you can find a whole world of ideas on Pinterest.

A grown man, exercising and only eating 900 cals a day. Something is wrong.

Personally, I would say smoking is worse. Zero benefit, dangerous, smelly, disgusting. I lost my mom to lung cancer at the young age of 46. I was 11.

1. I just scored a nice set of dumbbells on Craigslist 2. I'm so ready for Happy Hour 3. Determined to find a pair of nice-fitting jeans this weekend.

Same exact thing has happened to me, salmon and the office drama queen making comments and spraying air freshener all afternoon... :s Lean Cuisines smell fine, sheesh. Sometimes I even get comments like "What are you making? That smells so good!"

I'm up at 5:30 to work out and all I have is some coffee. I have zero appetite that early.

I lift heavy and got everything used on Craigslist, I would suggest an Olympic bar with various plates and a squat rack as a good start. I don't use videos. Watch YouTube to work on your form and start light. Get your form down first so you don't hurt yourself, and start with the bar only (it's 45 pounds by itself) You can…

Hard liquor with diet soda or sparkling water. I like Captain and Coke Zero or Diet Coke, or vodka and sparkling lime water.

FYI, if you dilute ACV with warm water, it makes a great rinse for your dog's skin. But for weight loss, no. I wish it was that easy.

Truth!!! It took me almost 40 years to realize the simplicity. Eat at a caloric deficit. Work out for fitness. End of story.

I try not too, but only because my calorie burns are not that high (around 250 cals) and I like to have it as a buffer in case I've underestimated my calories.

I'm up at 5:15-5:30 M-F and work out in my garage before I get ready for work. I have a half cup of coffee to get me going, and sometimes a small piece of multi-grain toast. Just depends how hungry I am. If I am not in bed by 10pm, I have a hard time getting up that early. I don't sleep great so I will take a Benadryl or…

No black licorice, mushrooms, canned vegetables, or animal organs. Other than those, I can't really think of a food I hate that much. I'm not very picky.

Lighter...by a lot...LOL.

Amazing!!! I love it. What's your lifting routine like?

This, LOL.

Thanks. I know it's a good, healthy rate. But some days...ugh... I like the idea of hitting certain goals, I lift so I will work on that more as well.

The answer is yes...and yes to the other comment that you're not eating enough to support your training. It just sounds like a big bunch of wrong.

I love hot sauce. It has zero negative effects for me. My preferred brand is Cholula.

Calories, calories, calories, with some attention to protein for satiety.
