Isn't that ridiculous!

user "longhaul64" is no a quest to loose a lot of weight. He seems like a great guy and has a open profile.

I am 5'4" and was 135 giver or take about two months ago. I am 127 now. I do Bikram yoga everyday. I am not a calorie counter, but I am using the site to provide info to my doctor so we can determine some food allergies/intolerances. However I am loving it because of the message board. I am in school for my bs in health…

I have found the following to be satisfying. I eat it as soon as I am done with Bikram yoga in the morning. 1/2 c oatmeal 1 T chia seed 5 prunes (diced) 2/3 c water

Keep doing it. It will change your life for the better! I am on my 64th consecutive day and my goal is 365. It started with a 30 day challange and then 60. At day 59 I decided it was a 365 day challenge. I have eliminated 2 depression and anxiety medications and I am titrating off of another. You will become soooo in-tune…

I think that's okay if you are not exercising but if your exercising you need more. I do Bikram yoga everyday and drink 6 liter of water. At a very minimum 4...but I push the water as bedtime approaches if I am only at 4.

Diet if you are dying to see the scale go down now. But, if you choose exercise your pants are likely to fit looser without the scale moving and the endorphin's are often what someone needs to stimulate the next step of dietary changes. Additionally, the workouts can also "force" you into different eating habits naturally.…

I love coconut oil. It is the main oil used in our house with hemp oil being second. I buy Nutiva brand and order it from Amazon. I am not able to have dairy because of food allergies and Nutiva makes a great butter substitute Coconut Manna (just organic coconut).

Thanks for sharing the link. I'm going to do it but will start on Monday. Hope your challenge goes well.

This isn't zero calorie but minimal calorie and replaces electrolytes. Takes drinking water to a new level and adds a nice change. I drink 6 liters of water a day. I was thrilled to discover this: Slice one cucumber, orange and lemon Place them in a pitcher Fill with filtered water Continue to replace the water you use. I…

I eat oatmeal everyday for my second meal and this is what I do: 1/2 cup dry oats 1 T chia seeds 7-bite size prunes or 5 regular prunes (dices) Add 2/3 cup boiling water stir and cover until water is absorbed (I take this to the yoga studio with me and eat it immediately following class)

By the way the Quinoa Seed Salad makes 5-1 cup servings...I put in the database and it has under 400 calories

Quinoa Seed Salad In a sauce pan: 1 cup quinoa 2 cups water Bring water and quinoa to a boil then reduce and simmer until water is absorbed Prep: 2 T coconut oil 1/3 cup yellow onion (diced)—allow to set for at least 5-min for maximum health benefits 4 cloves of garlic (diced)—allow to set for at least 5-min for maximum…

Quinoa Quiche There are a lot of things you can do with quinoa, but this baked quinoa recipe is one of the easiest and tastiest! Feel free to add in other fresh vegetables and herbs you have on hand, or toss in a handful of your favorite dairy-free cheese alternative or tofu for texture. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 35…

Don't restrict your diet sooo much that you do not feel okay eating a cupcake. Of course you don't want to make a habit of it, but your diet needs to be a lifestyle change if you want to keep the weight off. It's not realistic to think that you will never eat a cupcake again:) Remember too, it is only recommended to lose 1…

I just noticed your calorie recommendation of 1200. I am also 5'4" and my recommended calories is just over 1200; however, with my Bikram yoga it recommends just over 1900.

If it's available in your area, try Bikram yoga. Go as often as you can...but after 30 days you will notice a huge difference in your body composition and loose those extra pounds as well. I push myself hard for the full 90 minutes and figure I burn about 700 calories per class. I have had significant changes to my body…

You should eat! Even though you are out of calories your body still need vitamins, minerals, etc. Make a mix of vegetable containing as many colors as possible. Also, consider a lean protein as it will help you feel full. Additionally, consider a couple of prunes if you are not effected too much gastrointestinal. Prunes…
