  • thank you.... I don't understand why if they simply don't agree, then why not just skip it and move on to a topic they do agree with. for me it will always be a threshold I crossed into focusing more on eating healthier. I would assume that those who have lost 20 or 30lbs would be understanding, as I know this doesnt…
  • LoL sorry guys I was battling my old slowccomputer and photobucket. I tried to fix everything. anyways I AM aware it may be water weight, I am aware that it may have just been the workouts. Whatever it was, it was MY experience. And NO Inam not going to deprive myself of food. I LOVE to bake and cook. As for my body I am…
  • Hi I have a SportLine Duo. I forgot where I picked it up either Modell's or GNC. But it has been my BFF and it came with a chest strap. i don't know about other HRMs, but this one came with a tiny pamphlet with TONS of instructions. It was very tedious and annoying to set it up, but it picks up my HR perfectly. i never…
  • I would love to partake on a fasting for religious reasons as I am Catholic myself. However I am also trying to shape up and I don't want to pass out. :-) But there are different types of fasts. The most common one is fasting from meats on this day. You could also do a mid day fast until noon or 3pm or even a fast until…
  • LoL I like her idea too. 2 years ago when I was losing some of my married weight lol, my husband agreed he would take me to this club I love if I hit X-lbs which motivated me to look forward to working out and start looking at nicer clothes, BUT then, turned out I was pregnant and I couldn't keep up nor go clubbing LoL…
  • Wow good ideas ladies! A lil trip getaway sounds good to enjoy a new body and show off, but we got a one year old, a trip to Target is sometimes overwhelming in itself LoL and omg I was just thinking of doing a run, maybe I should look them up and see what is available in the area therefore I would HAVE to workout and…
  • When I say "defeat the purpose" I am referring to you the extra sugars and calories you are drinking. For example- I will happily take SmartWater which is distilled water with electrolytes over Gatorade which also has electrolytes but also tons.of sugar and dyes. I never said that the water disappears if you add something…
  • Haha sorry, i just edited, she* is my doctor* But the sugars in Kool-Aid (or other mix) and would probably defeat the purpose of drinking water. When I use water/ice for my smoothies, the addition of the ingredients in my smoothies dont defeat the purpose of water, but i don't usually count it either as a glass of water. I…
  • When I was pregnant, for some reason this topic came up regarding decaf coffee. And she (my doctor) explained that in order for me to drink 1 cup of coffee, I would have to drink 2 cups (twice the amount) of pure water to stay properly hydrated as coffee dehydrates you. So if your watching what you're eating and…
  • I actually really used to like the Lean Pockets. They have a wide selection of flavors. I wouldnt find a good variety at the supermarket though, so I would buy them at Target. I would look for the least calories, greater protein count, less fat, and the flavors. I liked them because not only were they tasty, they ranged in…
