Zucchini (or yellow squash) chips. Cut in thin slices, I used a mandolin, single layer on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then salt. Cook on 250* for 2 hours, turning over half way through. You can season with any seasoning you'd like.

My main problem is consistency. I do "good" for a few weeks, lose weight and then stop for a week. Which often turns into 2. So I need to stay consistent and stop stopping.

I usually have a Dannon light and fit greek yogurt with granola or flaxseed added. If I'm still feeling hungry some fruit. If it is a REALLY hungry morning 1 egg, 1 egg white, green onion and tomato scrambled then put it on 1/2 an english muffin or a bagel thin. Coffee and water

THIS!!!

I've never really understood this thought process. You are only cheating yourself. Why work hard all week to through it out the window for a day/weekend of binging? If you feel you "need it", work an indulgent meal into your calories or a trip to Baskin Robbins instead!

Stretching, ice (freeze water in a water bottle and then roll your foot on it), ibuprofen. Mine was so bad I had to go to the doctor and get a shot. He also told me to not wear flip flops, or sandals, but a good athletic shoe, all the time.

Going out to dinner for a friends birthday and my fat jeans were WAY too tight; I was extremely uncomfortable all night. (The previous 2 months my dr had put me on a no workout, no walking, no weight on my feet order; I had pretty bad plantar fasciitis. I gained almost 20 lbs.) I was so miserable the night we went out for…

Personally I like the little hiccups. I had a pretty big hiccup yesterday and feel disgusting today. Made me remember how bad I felt the night before I started MFP so I am focused again.

I take mine right before bed, mainly because in the past some hurt my stomach.

I weigh myself a couple times a week. But the only day I log is Monday, that's my "official" weigh in day.

I'm 5'6" and the last time I wore a 12 I weighed 180.

Short term goal, be able to complete a 5- 6 mile hike without thinking I'm going to die before we finish. Long term goal, be able to hike Havasu Falls without concern that I won't be able to do it. Longer term goal, hike rim to rim in the Grand Canyon.

Cottage cheese

I weigh myself in the morning after using the bathroom and before drinking anything. But I only track Monday morning weight.

I work out in the morning for a couple of reason 1. It's done and over with. 2. I like working out on an empty stomach. Tips on how to be motivated to do it...well DH and I are "competing" right now so I want to make sure I work out just as much as him. I'm very competitive and don't want to lose. lol. Plus I just make…

Lately I've been having a Dannon light and fit greek yogurt, vanilla or cherry, with a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, and a piece of fruit. I also like one egg, one egg white, 1/2 slice of 2% american cheese in half of a Oroweat Pita pocket healthy multi-grain and a piece of fruit.

When I was working with a trainer, and experienced headaches, she told me to pay more attention to my breathing. She said I was holding my breath while lifting.

Steel cut oats with a 1 tsp of red raspberry jam and black coffee

Chipotle and Jersey Mike's

I'm not a runner, never have been and I never will be so I do an incline workout on the treadmill about 3x a week. 5% incline for 10 mins, 10% incline for 10 mins. 15% incline for 15 mins, then 10% for 5, and 5% for 5. I keep my speed at 3.1 or higher. I'm burning a ton of calories, and it really works the rear end!

Scallops for me, new york steak for DH, rice and salad. Unless I don't feel like cooking after the gym, then it's Jersey Mike's for subs.

Kettlebell swings

When I am working with my trainer I usually have 1/2 a pb and honey on 100% whole wheat bread. When I am just doing treadmill I don't eat anything.

A friend of mine uses the website gfoverflow.com

I do a slightly modified bell curve workout. I warm up for 5 minutes then every minute I increase my incline by 1% until I am at 15% then walk that for as long as I can, then work my way back down to 0% incline, 5 minute cool down. Don't hold onto the handles.

1 slice of 100% whole wheat bread with PB and honey about 1 hour before working out, if I'm working out at night. If I work out in the morning I don't eat anything. I found if I didn't eat anything in the afternoonI felt like I was going to pass out.

Tonight I'm having salmon seasoned with Simply Asian (sweet ginger garlic), and a salad with cranberries, glazed walnuts, feta and raspberry dressing.

I just got back from an 11 day cruise and only gained 2 lbs. and I ate what I wanted; I didn't do much drinking so I'm sure that helped. Make sure to always take the stairs and not the elevators. Drink a lot of water. If you do eat in the buffet peruse it before you start loading anything on your plate. I ate A LOT of…

LOL I'm a dork - not only have I read how to do this program, I've actually DONE it so I know it is a 3 day program. (shaking head at my brain fart moment!) So I guess maybe my question should have been is there a reason why I can't/shouldn't do all the exercises in one day?
