1) How do you stay within calorie goals and eat healthy while away from home? Plan ahead, use the app when possible, and have common sense about the food choices I have. 2) What are some ways to do this (i.e. portion control at restaurants) Portion control is a big one, but looking at the menu (which some restaurants have…

When I found out I was pregnant I went and found a pregnancy yoga DVD. It was nice, I didn't stick with it though. I can't remember what it was called for the life of me unfortunately :S Hope you find more posts. And congrats

Check out the search option for the forums and you will get a few hits on this topic. I log everything, no matter if it's supposedly negative. If you have questions on specific foods you can always look them up on the food database to see what kind of calories they have.

You have sweat glands all over so it doesn't surprise me that you should see it there. My question for you is, since you are seeing it there first are your workout cloths hugging those areas a bit closer than others? If it's fitting a bit closer then your going to sweat through it first. If your cloths are not the issue,…

I try to keep some wiggle room for a sweet treat. We don't have much in the house for temptation (when I have a choice in the matter) so I can't get into it, I grab a glass of water before diving into something sweet or I'll exercise. Having a hobby helps take my mind off of a sweet/ unhealthy tooth also. But if nothing…

Eating right and drinking enough water will make your body feel much better, removing bloating which helps with the flattened look of your stomach, and the water intake will help your skin look smoother/healthier/younger (in some cases). What changes you are seeing are not imagined, they are real. However it may take a bit…

Congrats on the loss, you are looking great! Great advice. Great post. I took photos of myself when I first started. I hated the way I looked, I still am not happy with how I look but I'm getting better. I keep taking progress pictures so I know that I'm losing so when I freak out about the scale I can still look back and…

Yes I count everything I eat including fruits and veggies. Sometimes the fruits can be high in calories and high in sugars so it's just worth logging them to me. Though many veggies are very low in calories it doesn't hurt to find out how many calories you are eating. Check out the food guide lines from the government for…

5' 3 1/2 (or so) HW:245 Current: 167 Goal:160 Dream goal: 135

I would have to say if I had to choose; I would go mute. There are so many different ways of communicating, but losing my eyes would devastate me. I have always had a fear of losing my eyes and my left hand - I draw, paint, craft, write in order to express myself. If I couldn't do that I might as well be in a crazy ward.

Most people weigh in the morning, after going to the bathroom. The thinking being, you don't have anything left from the night/day before.

Welcome to the site :D

Take a toy with you that can attach to the stroller. Something like a pinwheel or some kind of whistling toy that he can play with. Try to point things out to him while jogging. Make up games kind of like car bingo- who can find a bird first, where is a red car. Take bubbles with you that he can hold out the wand while you…

Woohoo :happy: Great NSV

20 minute workout DVD - 30 day shred Exercises to do inside- high knees, running in place, jumping jacks, lunges, sit-ups, push-ups, boxing, stationary bike, treadmill, yoga/Pilates, belly dance, Bollywood dance, Zumba. These are just a few :D Though tired and sore, You have your hope, No one can break it no and no one can…

Exercise, go for a walk, start a hobby, plan your meals for the next day, volunteer if you have a lot of time, read the forums, or read a book. All great boredom killers. If you are feeling in a slump and don't want to do ANYTHING then you'll have to make yourself do it instead of eat. Think of all the things you want to…

Nice NSV :)

Rest and lots of water. Time is really the best thing that can get rid of a cold, all the over the counter stuff and some of the stuff that is prescribed doesn't speed up the process of getting better- a cold takes about a week to run it's course and guess what the medicine takes just as long to work. But for a sore throat…

Good luck

Thanks for posting

If you have a public pool you could always incorporate swimming into your workout. Less stress on the foot and burns a lot of calories.

See a doctor, and find a different trainer. It kind of sounds like you put your back in traction. If they guy doesn't listen to you when you tell him you haven't stretched and encourages you to continue exercising when you are in sever pain then he doesn't have any right training. There is a difference between pushing…

Getting enough fiber and protein will help you in the long run. The carbs may be helping you stay fuller longer, but lean proteins also help with that(from what I've read). If you are concerned that you aren't getting enough then try to plan your meals out ahead of time and add supplements if necessary (even natural things…

I hope that you get some good answers on this. There are differing opinions on this. From what I've read, some people feel that you have to net at least 1200 calories where as some feel that you shouldn't eat your exercise calories back at all. It's all in your own personal preference. If you are making sure you are…

My ring size has dropped since I've lost weight and my shoe size but only about a 1/2. How much water I drink affects those areas in particular. The weirdest place I've found I've lost weight is my pubic area and butt. I've always had cushion there but now that I've lost some weight I've got little padding to actually sit…

Letting your body rest for a day would help you recover in my opinion but I have read so many people still doing some light cardio on their rest days. It's all a personal preference.

http://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/information I'm going to guess by looking at their guide that the combo drinks are 20 oz. The website above may help.

Not sure it's a fact. If it is then I've been proving it wrong. I've been eating my limit (sometimes over, sometimes under) and exercising but I have never burned all the calories I've eaten. The only time I've come close to that I've made myself sick, light headed, and very tired. The only thing I know as fact is that…

I think you'll be fine. 300 calories over isn't going to hurt you.
