never do that... that would be a total shame.... love and miss being on a bike!!

She sent me one too way back... crazy, people can't keep their judgments to themselves... If it is done appropriately, and with a trained professional, cross fit is a great thing. I have a friend who does it regularly, and I have gone a few times with her. It is very very intense, but you just do it as well as you can. The…

I log whatever I drink. I allow myself like 1 night every 2 weeks-month or so to drink beer, otherwise like everyone else on here I try to drink liquor. Rum & diet is like 70 calories, vodka soda, vodka water, etc. I'd try to find a light beer and stay away from the fruity drinks. They're full of sugar and carbs and so not…

I have a friend who does it, and between that and running she has an impeccable body! So I thought I'd give it a shot!

I love the FT4 I bought last year. With my information in it, it is much more accurate then the ones on the machines at the gym. I like that because I hated just guessing what I burned. Plus it's a great motivator because I see my heart rate is not within range, and I have to work harder, or I want to burn just a few more…

The research I have done is that any "diet" or "sugar free" drink generally makes you hungrier when drank alone. The reason for this is when your taste buds taste sweet, they tell your pancreas to start making insulin because there is some sugar coming in. But since the artificial sweeteners are not sugar, your body has…

I can sympathize with the jeans problem. I have a 33 waist and a 40 butt... I've been able to find jeans at Deb that are made for girls with big butts and small waists... They help so much with the plumber crack problem and have a little stretch to them for my also ":thicker" thighs... Hope things get better!!

The carton of egg whites I used says 3tbsp is the equivalent of the egg whites from 1 large egg. I kind of guessed that I had 6tbsp, because that container I used is 1 cup, and I filled it a little under half way which is about 6-7 tbsp. So I'd guess about the amount of egg whites in 2 eggs.

I just read this to a friend of mine who was getting frustrated with the scale even though she noticed her clothes fitting looser and such, and it has encouraged her to take her measurements... thanks for the inspiration!!

I downloaded couch to 5k on my droid and it was free. They have one sponsored by breast cancer research foundation. it's called c25k free... I also use map my run when I run outside to see the route... It's also free for the droid. There is settings to give you voice feedback, but I've never used it so I'm not sure how…

If you don't eat enough calories, your body goes into starvation mode and starts burning off your muscles instead of fat. If you're eating adequate amounts, your body is happy and burns off fat. If you eat too few, when you complete your diary for the day MFP usually gives you a warning...

I agree with the above posts... Take your measurements and go by those changes more then the scale. I hit a scale plateau before and was getting upset, but once I took my measurements, I saw I had shed a few inches from each spot. This is simply the muscles building and the fat shedding away. But since muscle weighs more…

I'd give yourself a few days to relax and get healthy... if you really don't want to stop all together, maybe just some walking or light exercises. But I'd load up on the fluids, and get plenty of rest to get that sickness out of you!

Any of the "fad" diets, I would not recommend. "Dieting" is even a terrible word to use. If you want to lose weight and actually keep it off, you need to train yourself to eat healthy, everyday, not just for 20 days. Also, 500 calories a day is starving yourself. Your body naturally burns about 2000 calories (depending on…
