  • The sandwich you make at home will taste better, be better for you and cost less.
  • Since I don't want to go to jail I eat whatever the heck that crazy PMS woman inside wants...it usually only lasts 2-3 days and my body will recover. I find denying her what she wants just makes me eat a million other things instead of just giving in to the original craving. It's kind of like when you are pregnant...eat…
  • I have a friend who's mother died of cancer that they swear was from the carcinogens from grilling all of her food...I guess she grilled all the time...but she also liked her food almost incinerated on the grill as well. I don't eat burned meat from the grill...ok ok the occasional burnt marshmallow, but I do enjoy grilled…
  • 1. Chocolate 2. White Chocolate 3. Chocolate 4. Dark Chocolate 5. Did I mention Chocolate? I could eat a whole bag of chocolate chips or 1lb bag off M&M's in a sitting and look for more afterwards...I have never found a chocolate dessert that people say is "too rich"...I could eat the whole cake and ask for seconds. Please…
  • You are young and active...I'm worried that you are worried about "cheat meals". Since you have said you have an eating disorder I would have this conversation with your therapist. Having a normal, healthy balance of foods in your diet is the ultimate goal of everyone...going off track of what we perceive to be correct…
  • That is amazing progress! I can't even run a mile! Don't worry about the time, the important thing is you are completing a mile which is more than many others can say. Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:
  • Actually if you make the shake using skim milk you get 17 grams of protein and only 5 grams of sugar, if you use the protein drink mix instead of milk you get 24 grams of protein and still less than 6 grams of sugar. Your body can only process so much protein at once, so I don't know why you would want anything with any…
  • Lost about 30 pounds from September to February keeping it off eating healthy foods when I'm hungry, some weeks I work out 3-5 times, some weeks I don't "workout" at all...I workout until the I'm pouring sweat and since I'm maintaining, I'm burning more than I'm eating...lol
  • I take a new picture the first of each month...it is amazing to see the changes, especially if you aren't seeing results on the scale because you workout. I can't wait to have enough pictures for a cool flip book...lol
  • I purchased a fitbit flex the first of the year. It was a glorified pedometer that cost $100. It wasn't very good at syncing. It did not calculate my calorie burn based on my activity...it couldn't even tell if I was walking up stairs or level ground. What I was looking for was something that would give me accurate calorie…
  • I increased my protein intake to at least 100 grams a day and 120-130 grams a day when I do a heavy muscle workout. My 3 meals a day give me 75% of that and the rest comes from high protein snacks...nuts, greek yogurt, eggs, protein bars and anything else I can find with about 10-12 grams of protein. I notice that since I…
  • My journey started in September...the picture was taken under extreme protest, but I was entering an 8 week body transformation challenge and a picture had to be included. I'm still "under construction", but the "after" picture is from our first day of vacation in Mexico February 7th. Five months, 30 pounds, almost 50…
  • In general people are afraid of change. When you start changing they are afraid that they will have to change too, so of course they will try to sabotage you to keep you like them...Bird of a feather... Keep strong, be the leader...they will follow, just like a flock of geese :)
  • I couldn't even read all 7 pages of posts and get a clear answer. Here's my 2 cents: Eat what makes YOUR body feel good If you want to grow your own fruits and vegetables so you know they are healthy go for it. If you can kill a cactus like me go to the store and buy what you hope is the healthiest. YOU will know what…
  • It is true...it's not a big secret. The ONLY way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise more. How you decide to eat is totally up to you. There are plenty of products, Herbalife included, that help to take the guess work out of what you eat. If you can make a balanced meal via the grocery store go for it. For others…

  • Did the fit test and the first cardio circuit tonight and thought I was going to die! I feel like I'm back to square one with not being able to keep up or do all the exercises. Thankfully I know I far I came after the first month. Not going to lie it will take all my willpower to get up and go everyday...I'm not a quitter…
  • I have Zumba for the Xbox Kinect and like that I can learn the moves in the privacy of my home without bumping into everyone while I go the wrong way. I like the current music at the live classes as opposed to the generic Latin music on the game. If the DVD's have current tunes it might be just as enjoyable as playing the…
  • You reap what you sow... Everyone has someone toxic in their life that is always trying to bring you down with, how much better their life is supposed to be than yours...don't buy it! Live your life for you...focus on you...everything else is just there to entertain you...don't take it so serious and laugh it off. Remember…
  • I'm almost done with my 4th and looking forward to the recovery week, but not what comes next...lol
  • I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated with the scale. I look leaner and my clothes fit better, but you sure would like some measure of results like so many others have had. I guess maybe it depends on how much weight you have to lose to begin with. I am on my 4th week and looking forward to the recovery week, but…
  • I don't cry about real life, so it is super easy for me to cry at movies. I cry when Coral gets eaten in Finding Nemo and almost all the Pixar movies at some point, I cry during the Notebook (even though I've seen it 1,000 times), I cry when any animal is lost, killed or injured in a movie, but the worst crying movie is:…
  • I'm a Girl Scout Leader and currently have 200+ boxes in my garage not to mention the 3 cases I've purchased and are sitting in my kitchen. I put the Thin Mints in the freezer...If I open up the freezer and take the silver foil package out I will eat the whole thing in about 7 minutes. I can eat a box of Caramel Delights…
  • When my second son was about 8 months old I went to visit my parents in Virginia. When my Dad picked me up at the airport his first words were, "Man, you've gotten fat"...I was a size 7 back then. Two more kids and years later he wouldn't dare say anything to me like that because his belly is huge! He does still pick on my…
  • I had a desk job for the last 10+ years...just recently went back to working retail and notice the weight coming off much quicker with the additional activity. I wear a pedometer and most days easily log over 13,000 steps...and that is just during the 8 hours I'm working.
  • I would like to move to Colorado...so I am trying to get my house sold and figure out what I want to do with myself when I do move.
  • I hated the Wii Active game...I found that it did not accurately record my movements which made me angry because I'm an overachiever. I really enjoy the Wii Fit games the most...they really help with your core. The sport resort is good when you play the running or the fighting games or even the tennis and bowling. I'm sure…
  • I am committing to: 1. Finishing week 4 of Insanity 2. Still not weighing myself 3. Having a good time
  • I generally eat whatever I want to eat, but if I know it is going to be something really bad I log it before I eat it so I can adjust the amount I'm going to eat. Yesterday we went out to eat and I always eat a Monte Cristo...when I went to log it after I ordered it...I was not really shocked to find out that the whole…
  • Hello! What kind of things are you doing? Are you just dieting or exercising too? I'm starting my 4th week of the Insanity workout and haven't lost one pound, but I have lost 2 pant sizes. I workout because I like to eat. I have cut back on the amount I eat, but I'm still eating what I want. Good luck and just keep working…
