I love mine - the fries are nice and crispy with only a little oil...Not exactly like deep fried fries, but yummy. Very good for vegetables too....
-
The world does not force me to lose weight - my concern for my own health does.....
-
I have two problems with this menu - where is the protein?? With that much carbs, and so little fat, keeping to tiny portions sounds like a problem....BTW, your stomach don't shrink... Secondly, you need to try and preserve muscle mass while losing fat - with that little protein, it would be even harder than usual.....
-
It's not a black thing...Not even just a Southern thing. Replace the corn bread with whatever cultural food you want (be it Greek, Italian, South African or German or whatever flavour you like) and you will have the same family fellowship and eating too much thing.... Let's break the habit and educate our black children on…

Fitbit zip - I had one for the last three years and it still works...Clip it to my pocket, belt, bra - depending on what I wear. You do get wristbands that you can keep them in - I just don't like wearing anything on my arms....
-
It has nothing to do with low carb or not - it has everything to do with food choices that will keep you satisfied..... I still eat bread now and then, I eat ice cream now and then, but I need a protein filled breakfast to keep me satisfied and to keep my blood sugar from spiking..... If I have to eat cheerios for…

Do you get coffee breaks and a lunch break? When I don't work out over lunch I go for a walk - can easily get 6000-7000 steps in in a 40 min walk.... Same with coffee breaks - have coffee at my desk while Im working and walk for 15 minutes.....
-
Lots and lots of picking up the heaviest things you can and putting them down again...And enough food and water.....
-
There are a ton of exercise dvd's that you can do at home with minimal equipment - or splurge on a set of dumbells to start with... When you go back to school - does your school have a gym? Use that. Run stairs, do bodyweight stuff...Are you close to an ice rink and can you skate? Take lessons if you cannot. prep meals and…
-
You are overthinking things...... Talk to your dr if you are worried about BP, drink water when you are thirsty and stop looking at your pee and counting how many times a day you do that......It's really not that important and it is a little weird.
-
You need professional help, please get it.
-
Most people around you might have the need to be around clean people..... Shower and bathing do not kill people or make you sick - that was the believe in medieval times......
-
I always use gloves - cast iron kettlebells tend to have rough spots.... Got some Nike lifting gloves - men's, as the gloves made for females are ridiculously flimsy for some silly reason....
-
Why are there always people hijacking a thread with their "superior" knowledge, instead of answering the OP's question..... OP, cheese, boiled egg, a few almonds, fruit cups in water instead of in syrup, a square of dark chocolate instead of a milk chocolate bar, and so on.....
-
Did you lose weight? My jeans are always a bit shorter if I gain a few extra pounds, and return to their usual length when I lose it again.....
-
I've been in a calorie deficit for the last year, and made HUGE strength gains.....
-
:s I like feeling (and BEING) clean....Not showering for three days just because you don't smell bad is not one of the things I aspire to in life......
-
I've started with a ten and 15 - now using 25- 36lbs.... You do not use arm strength for kettlebell swings - you use your core. The average female can easily start off with a 15lbs kettlebell and mayby a 10lbs for anything involving arms. You will not build strength in your arms if you keep using 3 and 5 lbs.....
-
Fitbit app - put the start time and duration in - not sure what more do you need......
-
True, but if would probably give you less than a fitbit would.....
-
Your height and weight and eating 2000 calories does not sound like weight loss, rather maintenance...I would not eat every calorie from walking back - rather set your day to moderately active and don't eat it back. Fitbit and others are never accurate and overestimate calories burn for walking easily....
-
I see almost no protein in your diary......
-
Firstly - do the obvious, weigh and measure everything, log everything. Second, you are female and in your 50's - I am close to that....Start lifting weights - real weights, not 2lb pink ones....It changed everything for me....
-
Very little nutrition, will mess with most people's blood sugar and thus cause cravings or feelings of hunger soon afterwards.... You can get the same calories and better nutrition just by having one slice of toast, one egg, tomato and milk.... And I really don't care enough about your diet to put you in a corner - the OP…
-
Nothing "wrong" maybe, just that with a few little tweaks, the OP will get a much more satisfying and nutritionally better day for the same amount of calories....Eating two packets of crisps and a chocolate bar per day is NOT the easiest or best way to lose weight.... Cutting down a little on the "yummy" stuff and…
-
OP, why do you need to travel to the gym to go for a run?? 45 mins lunch - 25 min run, no shower :'( but have a huge tub of baby wipes, better than nothing.... If it is raining I will do a quick kettlebell HIIT or other lighter weight/cardio/bodyweight workout...No gym, but warehouse with ancient tv/dvd and a bunch of…
-
I never knew you have to wait until you stink to shower....... :s And OP, there are a LOT of good lotions and conditioners that will protect and moisturise your skin and hair - Unless you have a serious skin condition, it is very common to shower once or even twice a day....
-
Although I agree that weightloss is about calories, you are setting yourself up for failure if you spend so many calories on stuff that wont provide much nutrition and that won't keep you satisfied and full for long.... Eat more protein - toast and milk for breakfast is very close to toddler food and you are an…
-
No one should stop taking "necessary for life drugs" due to scary side effects - but taking it for weight loss change the risk factor for me.....
-
Hardboiled eggs for breakfast - you can cook 10, peel them and keep them in little containers - just grab a container and you are set. Also protein shakes if you don't have time...Or even weetbix and eat it with a proteinshake instead of milk. Prep a bunch of chicken legs and keep in the fridge - eggs & chicken will keep…
