  • I can agree and understand with where you are. But, I also agree in the journey approach. I have had to arrive at a place where I realize that every day is about getting up, doing my best, and moving on when I have chocolate cake or decide that running is not of interest to me. Each day is a new day and we have to live it…
  • You know I feel the same way a lot. I've lost 40 some pounds but, it's take 3 years and only 6 of it has happened within the last year. It's frustrating and overwhelming at times because I feel like I'm pretty faithful. Not flawless but, definitely faithful. I feel like I keep knocking into the same wall with no victory. I…
  • Higher Intensity is designed to break up insulin if you've shown resistance. But, it's never to be done at more than 20 minutes when worked through intervals unless you are a performance athlete. You'll get a longer bang for your buck if you learn to do good long work outs but, on those days that you aren't able then take…
  • great job!!!!
  • We are all doing well I hope! I'm at 1.8lbs and we have 5 weeks left. Press on! Tell us whats working. Keep remember that even though you might not see change in a given week (speaking to myself who just weighed in the same this week) sometime progress is maintaining when we slip up! You guys are awesome!
  • Awesome! Let's go for it! If we do it together we can encourage each other. My self motivation lately has STUNK but, I'm gonna master this. It's 7 lbs... it's 4 1/2 weeks. So, that's 1.6 lbs per week. I'm a Wednesday weigh in so, I'll post where I'm at tomorrow. Thanks all!
  • I'm with DeeJay TJ I usually get a "Fajita or Taco" Salad but, I ask them to use they're grilled veggies instead. Then, I tell them to keep their high calorie dressings and I use salsa for a dressing. If there's no shell, I only take a hit for the calories on the cheese, guac, and sour cream which leaves me some play to…
  • Salsa, Halibut makes amazing fish tacos, dried fruit and nuts for snacks, Chicken Burgers, Black Bean burgers, Turkey sausage, farm fresh eggs, Ranch Light... man where do you stop. Costco is A-MAZING. Peppers, Low Fat plain Yoghurt My newest find is my fav, Rivavia (sp?) - it's a liquid multi packed full of everything…
  • I used evoo, garlic, and rosemary.
  • I am the queen of eating a full meal while cooking one. I love the trick that I've found that I actually discovered on Weight Watchers which helped me loose my first 40lbs. I cut up a bowl of fruit first before anything else. It helps keep my taste buds happy, gives me some great vitamins and actually is a filling food so,…
  • My first question would be with all your new fruits and veggies, are most of them raw. They could be pushing a lot of toxins through your system and if the majority are raw, it causes a lot of air pockets which can lead to intestinal discomfort. Continue trying to drink a lot of water and I would cook your veggies a little…
  • I used to get these side pains all the time. I agree that when I'm well hydrated they are definitely less likely. It's a breathing thing that you have to learn your own rhythm. It takes time and stride to learn how to rest while you run but, the pain comes from a pinch in your diaphragm. Best thing to do is start to…
