:flowerforyou: Thanks for Sharing!!!

This happens to me every time...its really distracting! Does Anyone have some advise to fix this problem????

I think your off to a good start b/c your tracking your foods. However, you can add calories by eating nuts, bananas, berries (loaded w/healthy calories and vitamins) and add healthy fats like avocado's, salmon, olive oils, etc. You can also try protein shakes and eggs to increase your protein levels this helps you feel…

Not so much. Tall and thin runs in my family (and my husband). I've made a point to teach my girls to eat healthy. Pay attention to portion sizes, no snacking in front of the T.V and no you cant have fast food every day. They get it as a treat every now and then. I dont buy junk food often but when I do its by special…

:laugh: I choked on my water Lol! tooo funny!!!

Very interesting info! I'm going to start HIIT using the elliptical/or dreadmill and bike on T,Th,S and continue heavy weights on M,W,F.

Thats a gooood feeling, and the type of nsv that really keeps you motivated!

Lol!!! I do look at diary's for inspiration (or not)....but my sentiments exactly! Great topic. Eta: I'll pass on the bouborn but anyone for Rum! *yum

Thanks so Much:flowerforyou:

Wow! Thanks for this post. I'm working on my upper body and am still sore from Friday's work out. That morning I felt fine...did about 3 sets w/12 reps for my biceps, triceps, shoulders, and upper back. On saturday I felt a little sore, nothing much. Today (Sun) I feel like She-woman! My arms are super sore....to the point…

ya know when you completely deprive yourself, eventually that iron will will weaken. When it does....whether its sex, alcohol, food, whatever the desire to binge can be overwhelming. I tend to have an all or nothing attitude too. What works for me is allowing myself a small amount of what I'm craving. If I want a BK…

Yup! I love rotisserie chicken but the texture...can sometimes be questionable. I would add it to a salad w/crispy bacon, a lil bit of cheese, loads of dressing (for the carbs!)....Just make it a completely filling meal. Personally, I may get the urge to binge now and then after working out but thats just my body needing…

Yogurt! Cant stand the smell either...nasty!

Wow! Bump!

I avoid grains and pasta like the plague! I love fruit so during the summer I plan to load up on watery ones like watermelon, kiwi, grapes and some berrys. I keep my proteins up w/shakes, tuna,salmon,tilapia and chicken to name a few. If I need energy b4 working out I'll stick to a bananna or avocado. :)

Not True. I always and I do mean Always ate a healthy balanced diet and exercised ...gained 20lbs taking lexapro. Switched to prozac and the weighted melted off no problem and no extra effort. The problem was prozac made me manic so I'm done w/anti depressants period!

I'm Natural almost 10 years now. I keep my hair wound up in a bun when I work out. My hair is just past mid back so loose sweaty hair is Not coo,l so no ponytail for me. After the workout I'll usually rinse w/a light conditioner and let dry in two pocahantus braids.

^^^This! I'm may drag myself to workout but when I'm done I feel great. Plus, it sets my mood for the rest of the day (usually).

I:heart:you!!!

My husband is a football player and has told me to use one when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical. All I know is athletes use them for intense cardio training. It seems hard core so Im scurred, lol. I'll ask him about it l8r tonight and see exactly what it does!

Bump!

I'm currently going to phy therapy for an open Tib-Fib fracture. Some of the exercises I do to stenghten my ankle are: 1. Squats on a 360 balance (mini trampeline) 2. Walking lunges 3. Hurdles using these little bars about shin height. The bars are placed in a circular pattern. 4.Unilateral stances 5. Heel toe raises (feet…

If your motivated I say go for it! Your endurance will increase too.

Not sure what your point is? I've went through a lot in the past 6 months and understand feeling like no one GETS what I'm going through... Saying that honestly and compassionately ( sorry for your dad). Check out my profile send me a message if you want a sympathetic ear.

WhooHooo!!! Me to allllll of y'all need to add me RIGHT NOW, lol

Bumping to read l8r

Yes. Even when I'm achy or just dont feel like it I try to exercise everyday in order to keep my motivation up. I do alternate my activities though.
