I also drink a fair amount of herbal, decaf tea each day for exactly the same reason (in a medical office that is freezing). I don't count it towards my water intake thought because I figure that since tea is a diuretic I should still drink my set amount of water (if not more) on top of it to keep myself balanced. Hope…

It is a unit of energy that can be measured by basically burning it and getting a joule heat/energy output. You learn about it and do the experiments in chemistry class (had alot of them in HS and college though, so not really sure what level that was at). But it is a pretty basic math/science-type equation. So that is the…

I found this in an old post and think that it is what you are looking for. It was just listed as the menu for Jillian's 7 lbs in 7day meal plan...Hope it helps Breakfast: 2 pcs low calorie bread with 2 egg whites Snack: 14 Natural Almonds Lunch: 2 cups lettuce, 1/2 c. fat free shredded cheese, 1 1/3 tbls McCormick Salad…

Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. Running is the fastest and easiest way for me. All you need is a road and some shoes! If you eat according to the guidelines set here on this website and do daily cardio (as much as you can) you will be successful! I know it sounds easier than it is, but just take it one day at a time Good Luck and…

I also have 3 young ones, ages 4, 2 and 5 months. I run in the morning before they are up and before work (get up at 4). There are some days that I am just too exhausted and on those ones I ask him to watch the kids for a half hour and go run 3-4 miles. If he is supportive of you, this will work. It is usually only one or…

I always feel better if I'm on the verge of being sick if I do a light workout. That, and take an airborne afterwards plus a lot of water!

Awesome job!!! You are looking fantastic:happy:

You absolutely did the right thing and were the bigger person. Jealousy can make people act so small and petty! Horray for you for bettering yourself (and losing the weight the right way) and for taking the high road! Keep up the good work and stay strong - don't let anyone drag you down!!!:wink: :wink:

Not sure if it's right or wrong, but I enter it under yoga when I do pilates too. Seems like it would be about the same. This probably doesnt' help, but if it's wrong then at least we are both doing it wrong...LOL!:smile:

When I gave up Coke and coffee at the same time, I did switch to green tea (b/c even in the heat of summer I need something warm in the morning), but when I felt a headache coming on I took an Excedrin Migraine. It has a little caffeine in it so it nabs the headache both ways. however, this only works if you just take it…

No you should not count everything b/c that is already factored into your lifestyle when you pick that for your baseline. You should only count actvities that are not everyday routine activites and then any exercise.

That is exactly what I am doing, as are a lot of people on this site. Some are trying different exercise programs, but for the most part we are all here to simply support each other in our attempts to live a healhy life and in doing so lose weight. You aren't missing anything - this is the place to be for what you are…

I would love to join in if you have room still. I understand if you don't, but I am really in a rut and would love to have a group to hold me accountable and check in with for support. start 143 current 138 mid-range goal 134 ultimate goal (though not likely by August 3) 128

No, it is 182 calories. What we know as a calorie is actually a kcal.

This is great and so inspiring!!! My top 5 reasons for wanting to loose the weight - for good! 1. I want to take my kids to the pool while sporting a bikini and my husband to be proud as hell! 2. I don't want to look good for someone who has had 3 kids, I just want to look good with no contingencies! 3. I want to be able…

If it is your gallbladder the pain would be focused more on your upper right side. And, it would be triggered primarily when you eat fattier foods (maybe things that you used to eat just fine, but now your body is used to getting healthier fuel so the old normal foods send it into a bit of shock). Hope this helps. And if…

Great Post! Thanks for sharing that as I know too often I just watch the number on the scale and don't always see the bigger picture. Congrats to you!

Running in the rain is my fav! I actually don't do anything different other than make sure I don't have on white! LOL! It is great, and keeps you cooled off.

I don't have one yet, but that is my reward too for when I hit my goal weight. I am getting my kids names put on the inside of my wrist. I figure I have to be a thin hip mom to pull that off, so that is my motivation...I have wanted it since I had my oldest and just didn't feel good enough about myself to pull it off at…

A good girlfriend of mine had liposuction about a year ago and the plastic surgeon told her to use Loreal's firming lotion (vs giving her a Rx - he said it was just as good). There is a daytime formula and a nighttime formula. I actually just got it last week to start using and so far so good.

I agree with Marcy. All of my pregnancies have started by being late and having lots of bloating and cramping. Just take a home test.

Just got my doctor's okay today (6 weeks post-baby) to resume. Can't wait to go tonight once the hubby gets home to watch the kids. It's supposed to rain - nothing better than a run in the rain. Quite sure I won't be making it 5.5 though!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:
