Or try meal replacement shakes or protein shakes to make up the cals if you're not really hungry.

Woot!

Downtown Toronto, Ontario. Its beautiful not a cloud in the sky, a brisk -2C.

This happens to me ALL the time. I've really stopped paying attention to the scale cause it just frusterates me and makes no sense. So just try and eat right, excercise and the fat will come off. Weight yourself like every two weeks instead? Thats what I do. Don't let the scale sabbotage you! It's probably just water…

Fibre helps you lose weight by filling you up for longer periods of time so you don't need to eat as frequently. Also, you can't digest fibre. Its natures broom. So when you fill up on it, that leaves less room for bad stuff. It helps keep you regular and also helps to prevent colon cancer. Things that are high in fibre:…

My favourite thing to eat as a snack, especially when I'm craving carbs or something sweet is some of that flavoured instant quaker oatmeal. Its low in calories, keeps you full and you can buy the low sugar type. Love love love it.

I was on Depo Provera for about three years. I loved it and didn't find it affected my weight in anyway. My doctor however advised to get off of it because apparently when used longer than five years its been proven to significantly decrease bone density and increases the likely hood of developing oseoporosis. My favourite…

I was told that women typically lose it in the face and arms first, followed by the stomach and lastly the legs and hips. Hips and legs are apparently the hardest place to lose fat for women. For men, I was told typically lose in the face and arms, then hips and legs and lastly the stomach. Stomach is apparently the…

Just looking for some advice from others on this topic. Sometimes, no matter what I do I can't seem to help myself but to over indulge and go over on my calories. So the next day, I work out really hard and make what I went over the previous night my deficit for the next day. So if I go over one day by say 300 calories,…

I think that website runnersworld.com has some articles on finding the right shoes too.

Where do you get the HRM? Are they expensive? How are they accurate?

Hi! Me too, I just started again a week and a half ago. Determined to do it this time and I even bought six weeks of personal training to get me going. Be strong! We can do it!

I'm just starting to run too! I find it so hard, so I've made it one of my goals. I would love to be able to run for 30mins without stopping and I'm begining by using this article that I found from runner's world http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-380-381--9397-2-1X5-3,00.html hope it helps!

The sites i posted were just an example. You can try to google phase 1 clinical trials to find something near you.
-
I don't know where you live or if there are any around you but I work at a contract research organization that does phase 1 clinical trials for pharmaceuticals. Just by volunteering your time, usually two weekends (and some blood) they compensate you $1400 and up. I meet a lot of people doing these studies who are in…

I beg to differ. I have over dosed on Vitamin C and it's painful! But it wasn't too serious. Mostly puking and abdominal cramps. My mom loaded my sister and I up on vitamin C to ward off a cold and we both got very sick. I don't remember how much we were given but I think if you do overdose you will know. If you don't feel…

Its funny when I think back to when I was 160lbs, I'm 5'10" and for me thats a pretty healthy weight. Actually my goal weight right now. I was obsessed with trying to get down to 145lbs because I thought I was so fat. I wasn't fat, not at all but when I looked in the mirror I saw myself as I am now, that I've added…

I'd say if your going to go over in anything protein is one of the better options. Extra protein is converted to fat but it's harder to convert protein to fat than say sugar.

accidently posted twice (my bad)

I agree with you! eating lots of fresh produce and stuff is very expensive! I'm just a student with an extremely fixed income but I work around it. I buy frozen veggies and eat a couple pieces of fruit a day. The rest I buy like whole grain bread and have a sandwhich for lunch.. add some granola bars during hte day and eat…

I know what you mean. Sometimes I just feel STARVING but its not my stomach it's my brain! I just try to fill up on healthy low cal stuff and I'll ask myself... will eating those cookies make me feel better?? Normally the answer is no, cause after I eat it i'll still feel the same way only worse because I gave in. :S So…

I would still do my complete cardio workout... just lay off the weight lifting for a couple days. I have sore muscles almost every day from weight training and it doesn't interfere with cardio, but i'm never so sore I can't move so I guess thats up to you to judge. I also find once I get going I don't even feel the…

I found this shocking, the loaded nachos at kelseys: 1790 calories 100g of fat 156 carbs Thats insane, considering even the portion isn't even that big!
-
Wow, thanks alot guys!
-
I absolutely love love love peanut butter too! Wow and obviously i'm not the only one :laugh: Its my special treat at the end of the day if I have extra calories left over. I take the measuring spoons and eat a couple half tbsps at a time... it makes it go down slower so I can savour it.
-
Ah, I'm so happy! The scale finally budged for me today! I lost 6lbs in the last two weeks, (I only weigh myself bi-weekly). I'm so excited, for so long I've gone on and on not seeing anything and it finally happened! I've been working out 5-6 times a week, each time half an hour low intensity cardio and half an hour high…

Does anyone know any good foods rich in iron besides spinach and red meat?
-
PS. I've wasted so much time and energy in starvation mode, I actually go a little higher in my calories just incase i'm burning extra that I'm not aware of... that way i cover my bases.

My trainer would tell me when I couldn't eat all my calories to force myself to eat them anyways, but I had some problems with that a found a couple ways to add calories without stretch out my stomach. I either do one of two thing, I plan out ALL my meals for the entire day including an estimate of how many calories I will…

You can make your hair magically grow inches in one day by hair extentions :wink: It can be expensive though. If there is anything you can do to grow your own faster, i'd love to find out!
