Chana Masala, yummmm.

1/2 c. plain oikos, 1/3 c. cascadian farms oats and honey granola, and fresh blueberries or strawberries. So delicious!

You are so right and this is what is holding me back. I am going to think up some better goals. :smile:

yum!

She sounds like an idiot of course calorie deficit and working out will make you lose weight. It is the only way you can lose weight. What was she expecting? I started taking this mystical power I got from my guru and now I can eat whatever I want, sit in front of my t.v. all day and lose weight.

That is what my mom always told me! :wink:

This.

I hate that people act like bread is going to kill you!!! Are people serious? I eat at least one sandwich everyday and have a healthy BMI. Like anything else, the key is moderation. I love my morning egg sandwiches on rye toast and am not about to give them up.

I love their counterpart, Luna Bars. The peppermint chocolate one is my favorite and is a great way for me to get my sweets without regret. :happy:

One of my faves!

Great Job!

I agree about Weight Watchers. It killed my healthy eating. Processed foods and diet soda to keep low on points is not a way to live life. For goodness sakes on the old plan I could drink 7 diet sodas a day but had to watch my fruit intake. I remember feeling so sluggish because I was putting poison into my body and eating…

I use free weights because I feel like they require me to use more abdominal effort. Not to mention, there are only a few settings on the machines. I'm short. I don't want to be doing more harm because the machine is not made for my body.

If I am really craving chocolate, I go for nestle's low fat hot cocoa (20 cal.) or ghiradelli dark chocolate chips (16 for 70 calories). :happy:

If you are going for a top notch pair that will last forever, Lululemon is the way to go. They even hem for free! (Which is great since I am a shorty) However, if you want to go a little cheaper, I find great pairs at Nordstrom's Rack and Target. They are a little more like sweats than spandex but that makes them great…

I don't have kids but am a middle school teacher. Being 5'3" I ask all my tall students to get things down for me all the time. They tower over me. Must be something in the water!

Well that is frightening. Aspartame gives me terrible migraines. I have cut it out completely (at least I thought).

I try to eat clean as possible but sometimes find it hard with the everyday. How do you get enough protein? I am trying my best and I feel like I never get there. Everyone around me is recommending protein supplements but I don't know how I feel about putting them in my body. Many aren't regulated and are potentially…

I am a child of God. I am amazing. I can do anything I set my mind to. I can. and I will. This was the motto of the running club I got roped into coaching last year. Those middle school girls made me want to become healthier and gave me the ability to do so. Now that I teach at another school, I still carry this motto with…

Then don't! This shouldn't be about giving up everything but learning how to moderate your life. If you don't look at it as a lifestyle change, the weight you lose will not stay off. Best of luck but honestly, tea does NOT sound like a good breakfast to me unless I get to eat something with it.

refined sugar. It is going to be an interesting 40 days. I eat chocolate in some form everyday.

I agree that if you have the calories, eat, especially if you are losing weight. Also, try to eat through out the day. Having 5 or 6 small meals has helped me stay closer to my allotted calories and not indulge as much in unhealthy items. I am by no means an expert but this has really helped me.

This was a surprisingly good article! Thanks!

Thanks! I will try!

I'm 5'3" and pretty athletic. My goal is 136 lbs. I've been lower than that before but actually had to stop exercising to lose the weight.

I have not smoked for a year and a half and I still have cravings. It's just will power. That is why we are all here though so just realize you are becoming better and try, try again. Do not give up. It will come when you are ready. I just woke up one day and quit cold turkey. I don't want to go back and for that reason…

One day is by no means a reason to be upset. If you are really really worried about going over, do a small workout this evening. Otherwise, don't worry. Make sure to log it all and never EVER starve yourself. Just tell yourself that you are stronger and have already progressed. Keep going and realize that there will be a…

Maybe you aren't logging veggies because of their low calorie count, but from what I am seeing, you are missing something very important from your diet. Switch to lean meat, eat more veggies and fruits, and try to cut some of the starches. Of course, exercise is super important too!

yum! This is a must try!
