I make my own Lara bars, and they keep me full until dinner (like 4+ hours away). They are really yummy too! I add a bit of natural pb to this recipe (and I double it to get about 16 bars that I put into the freezer): http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/08/12/hot-fudge-brownie-larabars/

This is exactly one of the theories I used while working on losing 100 pounds. I post my food journal on public message boards (didn't calorie count). I contribute this to part of my success.

Nice!

Fabulous!!!!

Fantastic!!!!!

I am pretty sure when I trained for my half last year, I didn't do much as far as strength goes for my legs, especially when I got to higher mileage. I would say that if your sore like you said, don't overdo it. Your legs are getting a good workout with the running.

That's what I noticed about Firestarter also...no breaks! I like the longer TF cardio workouts because of the breaks after the fire drills. I do just sneak in water here and there during "starter."

GREAT!!!!!!!

Fantastic!!!!!

Thank you, lovely ladies, for your condolences and advice. It really means a lot. I am sorry we have all had our losses. I am actually doing better now that I am out of school for summer break (HS teacher here). I hope the scale will show it soon too. :smile:

I started at 260, got down to 147, and now am back up to 167ish. Boo! Feel free to add me, although I don't post all that much.

Thanks for the understanding. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you! The baby is my oldest. :smile:

This is pretty much my story as well! I actually gained back 20 pounds from where I was okay with my weight. Stinks!

GREAT JOB to both of you!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

I plateaued for almost 1.5 years before I started gaining back 20 pounds. :frown:

I would love to do that, but I can't afford it right now. :frown:

I kind of did that with Nutella (not quite as healthy but still fairly low in calories and great in flavor).

You are fabulous!!!!!

Definitely see a difference! GREAT JOB!!!!!!

When I got down to my lowest (147) last year, I was doing a hybrid of Turbo Fire (HIIT month), ChaLean Extreme (heavy lifting), and running. I also was tracking my calories and keeping my net at about 1700. (Note: I have slacked a lot this past year due to stress and lack of motivation, so I did gain back some of that.)

Well, I try really hard not to eat hydrogenated oils, as I read a lot of labels. I had three times this past week where I ate a cookie or cake made my someone else, and that's when I noticed those symptoms.

I got very close to my goal weight and kind of went into the maintenance mindset. I have since gained back over 20 pounds. So, you do really need to be careful (people out there in general) because it's harder than most think. Ugh!

Looking great!!!!

LOVE spinach, and I love putting them in simple "green monster" shakes.

Awesome! Thanks!

I know it's kind of a random question, but does anyone have any info? Thanks!

Gorgeous! Congrats!!!

I burn about 10 calories/hour when I run outside.

Thank you for the information! I don't do super low cal, so I am sure this isn't for me. I was just curious since I keep hearing about it.
