I work 12s, and sometimes days and sometimes nights. I just log my food when I eat it, breakfast in the morning (either when I get up or before I go to bed), lunch in the afternoon, dinner at night (whether or not I am getting up to work or getting ready to sleep). I also have a category for meal replacements, because that…

Not enough, one. But also, your calories are backwards. You should be eating the bulk of your calories in the morning.

I am really bad if I am trying to "relax" because that usually involves watching TV, which is right by the kitchen. What works for me is knitting and crocheting. It keeps my hands busy and I don't feel as bored. Also, logging everything before I eat it is amazingly helpful. You really think, "Do I want those calories?"…

^^^^ this Unless those stats are linked in the same study, one does not have anything to do with the other.

I don't know what your macros look like, but you need to make sure you are getting enough of the kind of calories that sustain your body's functions so that it can process fat down to use as fuel. Eat, but eat effectively. No matter how many empty calories you have, the cellular function requires a wide variety of…

And... Your shoes will stop fitting and you will have to buy new shoes, especially slip-ons. And, where I work I wear a custom earpiece, which keeps falling out now because my ears are less fat.

I LOVE!!! Dave's Killer Bread!!!! I am going to have to try avocado on it. I love avocado on rye toast... so I am sure it will be a similar taste treat.

Hard boiled egg and steamed spinach :D I eat every 2-3 hours, so this is my "second breakfast"! I had a protein bar first thing this morning :bigsmile:

If you have a health coach and you work the program, you can have amazing success. I lost 35 pounds the first time I was on the program, and I am back on it to lose the last 60 (hubby didn't want me to lose more the first time). The most important thing, like other people who have had success, is that you transition back…

Feel free to add me as well. I am on my way to losing 60 pounds and would love to have some friends to motivate and encourage.

You are welcome! My wildly important goal is to be able to rappel, climb rocks, and trail run. I love to hike and have done many fun hikes around the beautiful place I live, but some of the most beautiful and most exciting require that I am in better shape and have less weight to carry around. It is one thing to strap a…

Try a wrap spread with cream cheese (it does fine at room temp and is better for you than mayo) and shredded cheese and veggies, whole fruits like apples, oranges, and those little clementines, and whole veggies like cucumbers and carrots. I use meal replacement bars -- ones with protein cost a bit, but less than fast…

Ditto on the Black Bean Burger! It is pure delicious! I chunk about 3 of them up and mix with about 1/2 c salsa, 2 tbsp of cream cheese, and some 2% mexican cheese blend, wrap in tortillas and stick with a toothpick. Bake that at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.... oooohhhh...

I have my official weigh-in tomorrow, but my scale shows me down 6.5 pounds :D I love being able to actually plan what I am going to eat for the day because it keeps me on target. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

My ex-husband said this to me almost every day. My current husband says... "You are HAWT!... Kids, don't you think your mother is HAWT?" Guess which one I like better? Guess which one I spend more "quality" time with? And, guess which one is going to get the in shape, hot, and sexy me?

I refuse to exchange what I want most for what I want now.

I keep mine private so I will be honest with myself, because that is why I am on here. I needed to find a way to honestly assess what I was taking in versus my outcome. I don't know that it will be permanently that way, but for now, I just need a place for me to know what I am eating, honestly, and without concern for…

Creamy skin that I love. All the tanning in the world won't cover the surgical scars from having skin cancer removed. Love your skin. Treat it well.

Hiking the Zion Canyon Narrows top-down, hiking Subway, and then going to Las Vegas! I am going to have all the fun thin that I struggle to do heavy. Oh, and a new boudoir photo shoot :D -- because while I am a hot big mama, I am going to be just as hot sleek and muscled!

Having something to eat before bed is the best way to keep your blood sugar stable through the night. Putting your body into starvation mode will be the best way to GAIN weight. Keeping your blood sugar stable will help you burn extra fat. You should be eating 6 meals a day, and one of them should be within a couple of…

I would eat something that has complex carbs and protein. If you are starving through the night, your blood sugar will be either too low in the morning, or worse, because your body will start to break down glucagon in the liver, too high. 100 calories won't tip the scales too far one way or the other. I usually go for a…

I fill a 3 liter water bottle at night before I go to bed and set it next to my desk. I use that to fill my 32-oz cup that has a straw (having a straw makes it really easy to drink more water), and I just have it there to drink all day. I shoot for number of ounces of water equals half my weight in pounds, which for me…

I feel sexy almost all the time. In fact, I have done 3 different intimate shoots, at 235, 210, and at 190 pounds. My hubby tells me all the time that I am HOTT! Sexy has nothing to do with the shape you are (which you acknowledge in your post) and only and solely on how you feel. Did I always feel sexy? I didn't, but I…

Since you can already do 4, maybe you could train for a 10K first? Just an idea. My half isn't until June, so I am just focused on my weight loss right now and getting my core built back up. I had major abdominal surgery in August, and my stomach muscles are totally messed up. I am going to do a lot of yoga and isometrics…

I am doing the Utah Valley Half for the second time in June. I will walk it. My time last year was 3 hours 36 minutes, which isn't too shabby for walking. My goal is to beat my time and get further in the race before my body starts yelling at me -- In other words, be in better shape this time around.

I use Hal Higdon's programs. He has ones for just starting out and then mid and high level, so you can adjust them to what you need. Couch-to-5K is a good program to get into running period. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml It is 9 weeks and that is how I started running. Lots of good information on there…
