  • I have tried it all - double bras, all brands, types and the absolute most amazing bra I have found is Enelle - I should work for the company at this point as i tell everyone to buy it. It honestly makes my DD's look like perky round c's too! Really worth the price - you will no long need to wear two bras and you won't…
  • fiber one 90 cal bars and skinny cow have gotten me thru my MANY crazy sugar craving days. but if there was anything else in the house there is no one i would not buckle!
  • without a little more detail i can only guess but i would image that two things might be going on. 1. you're not eating enough - eat back your calories...it's key! 2. if you are eating enough you may just be gaining muscle. My training had me by a really tight pair of jeans and while i didn't lose pounds i was definitely…
  • I too would go for the bigger one. It's tough to know where you will lose weight, so that would make me nervous. But keep working and make it as loose as you can! It will still look good :-)
  • for me there is no way i could stick with a plan unless i ate a lot! I now choose foods that are low calorie so that i can eat more. I need to feel full or i know i will buckle. I eat lots of brocolli, scallops, chicken...really the key has been to go easy on starches and dinner is usually a big piee of chicken with heaps…
  • I second the Nike Musique dance shoe. Just started wearing them and they are absolutely perfect for zumba.
  • I've tried a bunch and hands down ENELL is the best - it literally changed my life because i can now run, jump or whatever and never even think about the bounce issue anymore. It's not cheap but will last. good luck
  • this is my new favorite: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Sesame-Chicken/Detail.aspx
  • i have a few staples that seem to keep me on track: raspberries lowfat/low salt cottage cheese egg whites fresh mozz cheese multi-grain light english muffin i can't believe it's not butter Amy's Kitchen low fat/low salt cream of tomato soup spagetti squash broccoli cauliflower turkey breast ground turkey chicken breast…
  • I've been on here since August and i feel like i may always need to log my food somewhat or at least refer to the database for calorie count of foods from time to time. I think this will keep me on track for the long hall, even though i feel like i could eat well without - just not sure i'll ever feel like i can live…
  • this month was the first in my life that i didn't gain a few pounds. the only thing i did differently was to workout even when i felt like crap and was really good about eating a lot of snacks and also upped my calories a little bit because i was starving! I think the combo of eating every few hours, and cardio really did…
  • 1. be sure to weigh yourself at the same time whenever you do your weigh in 2. I also think you probably need to up your calories to so that you're not actually creating a much larger deficit which will definitely stall your weight loss. You don't actually up your calories - just input your calories burned (HRM is great to…
  • breakstones just came out with a 30% less sodium in the 2%.
  • I'm just planning to eat and not stress about it. I am however going to work out in the morning and then probably a long walk after dinner. I'm hoping to stay within my maintain calories plus my workout and enjoy my splurge. Don't worry about one day - you can balance it out and get right back to it after thanksgiving.
  • it has helped me to see what other folks eat (i put a message up asking for friends with open diary's). I know for me...i have a few staple meals that are low cal but filling and lots of snacks help. I also get a lot of motivation to exercise because it means i can eat a bit more. good luck
  • my staple is a homemade egg mcmuffin sandwich: All Whites - 100 % Liquid Egg Whites, 1/3 cup (75 gm) Thomasas - English Muffin Whole Grain Lite, 1 muffin Hormel - Bacon - Fully Cooked, 1 slices Sharp Cheddar cheese .5oz (not processed) comes to about 220-ish calories and keeps me full for a bit.
  • I worked out with a trainer for 30 minutes and then did 20 minutes on the elliptical.
  • you might want to change things up and eat your exercise calories or most of them for a little while. That may actually be part of the problem. You could be putting your body into starvation mode. Basically, since you already have a deficit of calories, when you exercise, you will go below what your body needs to just…
  • Nim Chow...yum. But it's more thai, however my local chinese restaurant does have it.
  • sliced strawberries with whipped cream. You can have 2 cups of them and a little whip cream which is also quite low in calories and stay within the calories you want. It may have sugar but it's not process and it does fill me up, satisfies my sweetooth and holds me over for a while.
  • you might actually want to try going over 1200 at least a few days a week if not more. this will often work with many folks. And be sure to keep your salt low as this could also have to do with the fluxuation.
  • I too have had migraines since i was a teenager. I understand not wanting to take any heavy meds. I take Relpax which is pretty amazing. Only took 30 years to find something that worked and didn't zonk me out for hours! As far as eating. In general, you definitely want to follow the snacks between meals rule and always…
  • I went to a bra store that had a large amount of sports bras and NONE of them fit and felt as comfortable and supportive as the ENELL bra. I can't say enough about how amazing this thing is. It's literally changed my life! Oh, and you will still look good if not better from the shape. I feel like my boobs look like they…
  • when i first took zumba i burned in the upper 700's in 60 minutes (according to my HRM). Now that i'm getting in slightly better shape it's low 700's. I think it really depends on your heart rate level during the hour. Since i was in HORRIBLE shape with my first class i would say that 800 calories is on the high end of…

  • I wondered why it wasn't listed too but i just went ahead and added it like many other folks. I'm glad i did because i use a heart monitor and found that i burned way more calories than what some of the other close options are. good luck
  • thanks...you made me laugh. And i too like to have some bad but oh, so good things now and then :-)
  • wow - that's amazing!! I can't wait to see you on tv :-) How did you end up getting on the show? very cool!
  • If i'm out and getting hungry i will usually get a big decaf ice coffee with a shot of french vanilla and skim. This seems to keep me from buying the first thing i see :-) at home - i need to have a constant supply of strawberries with light whipped cream or rasberries and like to have almonds on hand too. I was always…
  • I just checked out the last few days of your diary and i would say you are not eating enough. Looks like you only had one day that you were slightly over 1200 calories and many that you were a few hundred below. This would probably be why. Your body will go into starvation mode when you don't get at least the amount of…
  • I plan to work out twice on Thanksgiving and EAT!!!!! I'm hoping to only hit what my maintain weight would be (adding on my exercise calories). That way i won't gain but get to eat lots more than usual :-) good luck!
