It takes me about 30 minutes. I don't like add a grain of rice at a time or anything, but I use the scale as a guide. For example if I want a 3oz serving 2.8-3.2 is close enough for me if it isn't high calorie food. I don't weigh vegetables. I am more concerned with large calories, not so much 5-10 calories of lettuce. I…

So this is what i ended up bringing and it was super good. 12 ears Corn cut off the cob Few handfulls of spinach 1c of fresh Basil Leaves 1c of cut up red peppers Purple onion 1/4c Olive Oil Dressing by Bolthouse Farms Then I brought a bag of tortilla chips. I ate it as a side and others ate it as like cowboy salsa with…

You are a super downer! This seems like self hate and you need to be having this conversation with a therapist. This isn't something we can help with on here, you need more serious help than anyone on the internet can provide. Maybe you need a different therapist or more visits...

Best recipe ever for Chicken, which is pretty much what I live on. Mix 1/2c greek yogurt, 1/4c aged parm cheese, garlic, pepper, seasoning salt. Then just rub it over the chicken. This amount makes two thick chicken breasts or 4 with a thinner coat. Strawberries/blueberries are in season, so I have also been having handful…

One word Seasonique. I miss it so much. Period once every 3 months. Trying to get prego again and every month really sucks bad. You do burn more, my bodybugg showed an increased calories output for the day before and day after. Not huge, but like 250-350 calories. Eat red meat. I have been told by my Gyno, that you are…

Sugar Free Jello Jigglers. I love them. My husband made some this week and they have been satisfying my sweet tooth. Also I am guessing completly unrelated, but I lost 2lbs first day and 1.4 second day I was eating them. There is some info out there that Gelatin is good for digestion, so maybe that is why. Either way they…

The primary purpose of a partner is to have that support. If you aren't getting that from him, then he is failing you. You need to have that conversation. Mine is crazy supportive. He will have dinner ready when I get home from the gym. Yesterday he was working, so I did all his Juice stuff for him. I don't mean to be…

I don't have any advise, I am just curious about the answer too.

I'm studying for Actuarial Exams and what I do is use a recorder to record formulas. Accounting has less formulas, but it is a good way to get the most out of workouts. Kind of like electronic flashcards. Otherwise, I just don't put food around me while I study. If it isn't there, you can't mindlessly eat it. If I am…

You aren't eating sugar water, expecially if you are doing it right. Fruit shoudl be a minority of what you are putting in your juicer. Yes drink nothing but apple juice and I am sure you will be doing horrible things to your insulin. After 2 months my husband is in normal cholestoral figures. He hasn't been there sense…

GET OUT NOW! He is abusive and you don't need that. You will one day get old and unattractive. Your life partner shouldn't need physical attraction to that level. When I find myself unattractive, my husband loves me exactly as I am. He supports my weight loss because it is what I want. He equally supported my daily snow…

It is mearly a good set of starting out juice cleanses. I think hating anything purly based on a show they attended is stupid. I don't watch Dr. Oz, but I also don't randomly hate TV personalities. I have many other things going on in my life.

Oh I started with the recipes at the following link. Then I just modified them as needed (less apples vs more to adjust sweetness). Green apples are good as pre-worout. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/joe-cross-juice-cleanse-recipes You can use the link below to calculate the calories in the actual juice. It is less than…

I used juices initially to cleanse, but different than what you think. I used them to cleanse myself of habits. Don't eat sugar for a few weeks and everything tastes insanly sweet, same with salt. I did 5 juices during the day and then ate a lean meat and something green for dinner. It made the initally hard part easier,…

Down .4 vs being up do to concession stand binge. I did pack my lunch and it was awesome, also the norm for most if the families.

Change my mind after reading more of your responses. Make a decision, do you love who he is or not. If the answer is no, then leave. If the answer is yes then leave him alone and let him be who he is. If the answer is maybe, then don't have kids and work on yourself. Either way you have to be the focus, you are 21. For me…

You can bike. I did this after all of my knee insuries. Put your bad leg resting in the center and bike with the other. You get a little uneven, but it will make it much easier to come back once you are given the okay for cardio again. Also Swimming. Get a water running belt. You should be able to find a type of kick that…

You loose weight first. Cook healthy meals, excercise during times that you would usually spend together. I assume your husband likes you...so then he will want to go with you. Say just so you know, I will be going for a walk from x time to x time everyday this week. Let me know if you want to go. Or I am buying a bike and…

Add me and I will look at your food, hard to say without specifics

Are you taking pre-work out drinks? Too much caffenine can cause this feeling when you crash. Also if you are working out hard you might be having miny drops in your blood sugar. They make tabs for that. You just put it on your tongue and let it desolve. I use them on long runs, because I will start feeling almost motion…

You look awesome! Best thing to over-come the platau is change. One way to do it is eat very low calorie, but I think this is unhealthy and will defiantly effect your milk supply. I prefer the opposite. Eat all your calories you burn for a week and then get back on it. Let your body have a week to heal/reset. I am not…

I havn't ran a full marathon, I am maybe going to look at it next summer. Not there yet. I was big into running in high school and early 20s, because I didn't like to be on the bench. I determined it was much harder to have someone take my starting basketball position if I never came out of the game. When I went to college…

I guess what makes me feel most nervious is how little she is. I am not sure she will fully get it. I don't want her to think we left her to go get this other baby and you know. She goes to daycare during the day, so mostly night is what worries me.

Have you tried Juicing. I am not saying drink only juice while pregnant. I am saying it is a great way to get the nutrients from veggies/fruits w/o actually having to consume. Might be a nice add to your day as a snack or quick breakfast. I do it the night before and store it in mason jars. My husband and I did just juices…

I wish you the best of luck, I did horrible my first pregnancy and want to do better this round. I read alot of research and found out loosing weight is actually safe for baby. There is a study out of St. Louis that actually reduced risk of issues with everyone being on 30 minutes of excercise and 2000 calories. The…

Roll it out. Get a foam roller. I have hip pain that is really deep, but it is actually the muscle. It will hurt super bad the first couple times you do it, if you can get through it though it will feel so much better. Mine is gone now. I roll out after every workout and it isn't painful anymore because I am taking care of…

Get a foam roller. I warn you it will hurt when you roll it out, but then it feels amazing. I have gone to rolling out everytime I finish a workout. A trainer showed me at this bootcamp I am doing and I wish someone would have shown me before. I ran 1/2 marathon on Saturday and he showed me Monday. By tuesday all hip/calf…

I go throgh audio books like crazy. I would love if you would share with me, but I need more explanation on how to do it. I have about exhausted librovox because I had to cut down my crazy audio book purchases for a while. Started to getting excessive.

Thanks for this link, it is super helpful. I was finally able to nail down calories through some research done out of St. Louis. Everyone just keeps saying "healthy," it is nice to have it laid out in such an easy to follow manner. Like how can it be okay to loose weight accidently, but not intensionally. Makes no sense it…
