My Biggest Loser scale gives me a difference of +/- 3-5# every time I stand on it. It's ridiculous. I changed the batteries, tried different surfaces (tile floor vs linoleum vs wood) and nothing seemed to matter. I could get on that thing, weigh, get off, get RIGHT back on and weigh 5# more than I just did, get back off,…

http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Bioweigh-Fitness-Scale/dp/B003SXKM6I The accuracy on this scale is supposed to be top notch. It drives me nuts to stand on the scale, see a weight, get off, get right back on, and see a completely different weight. Read the comments below the listing on amazon :) I've got one ordered.…

I told you, you're awesome. Why shouldn't everyone know about you? :heart:

Ooh, awesome tip! What I do is I get them home, peel them, wrap them in wax paper, and stick them in a ziplock freezer bag. I got this method from a local juice bar and it's been working like a charm :) Just wish they'd keep longer on the counter. I enjoy fresh bananas, dangit! :laugh:

i like to slice up red, orange, and yellow bell peppers and munch on those. mmmmm

ah interesting. ive read in a few books an oz per pound. seems to be, a different answer to the question can be found all over. hell, i googled it and none of the 10 pages i clicked had the same recommendation. go figure!
-
Ah, that'd be so much easier than 1oz per pound. LOL I swear, I live with my Bobble glued to my mouth. Hey, at least it keeps me from putting junk food in there! LOL
-
I've read that the standard "8, 8oz cups' is not nearly enough and that we should be drinking 1oz of water per pound of body weight. For me, that's an awful lot of water, but I noticed how much easier it is to get it all in when I cut out other beverages entirely.

I can feel your pain. It took the scale five WEEKS to give up a bountiful 1.6# for me this morning. Five weeks of eating planned meals every 3 hours. Five weeks of exercising. Five weeks of doing it right and all I got was a measely 1.6#? Don't let it get you down. Try to focus on what you're doing right. If you are 100%…

how about the jerk who decided to back his truck up from one side of the road(where he was hidden and parked behind a giant UPS feeder truck (an 18-wheeler) ) into his driveway on the other side of the road, directly into the path of my fiance and me on our tandem bike, whizzing down the street at 32mph (the speed limit on…

hehe, i do the same thing :)

For smoothies, I use rolled oats, but for just eating oatmeal as a meal, I buy steel cut. OMG so good, so much better than rolled oats.
-
how about a light, 300 calorie snack? I find that if I don't eat enough, I'm more prone to eat the wrong stuff later/the next day. I made myself a promise to eat a certain number of calories a day, at specific timed intervals, and I do it whether I'm hungry or not. I sure the heck didn't have a problem eating junk food…

Ezekiel bread Oatmeal Whole grain tortillas Quinoa Couscous I'll even toss a handful of oatmeal in the blender when I'm making a smoothie. I don't care if it looks like whole grains when I'm consuming it, as long as I know the whole grains are in there ;)

i can understand your frustration. that being said, holy smokes, look how far you've come. what a huge-yet-tiny inspiration you are. sheesh, i complain that i 'cant' lose 40#,and here you are lookin' all slim and sexy. nice job! hope you get to move soon, and enjoy your hard-earned body in peace.

LOL I love it! That rates up there with insisting a pregnant woman is carrying twins after she's told you she's not. People can be rude without realizing it. I usually don't have a problem advising someone when they've crossed the line. Seriously though, what is with people and their need to know 'everything'? I don't care…
-
Well, what I have found to keep me eating at the proper intervals is to make things that are comprised of the things I know I should be eating, but combine them in a manner that is 'crave-worthy' I was completely NOT hungry for my mid-morning meal today, but I knew that in order to keep my metabolism happy, I'd have to eat…
-
Youre likely to get a variety of examples, but I'd stick to eating small, 300-400 calorie meals 5-6 times a day consisting of about 2 handfuls of veggies, 1 handful of a whole grain product, and protein about the size of your palm. This will supercharge your metabolism and give you all the vitamins and nutrients you need…

1/2 cup diced bell peppers 1 thin slice diced onion sauteed in a tsp of EVOO added to that: 2 egg whites plus 1 egg served with half a cup of mixed veggies left over from dinner last night and a slice of ezekiel bread for my mid-morning meal i had a smoothie made of: fresh pineapple lite coconut milk 0% greek yogurt 1/2 T…

well, ya! LOL you can't taste the spinach at all. tastes like a pineapple smoothie and it's awesome!

I was always perplexed by the epiphanies people have on that show....until I had my own mini-epiphany while watching the Australian version. There is a female trainer on that show who has the most incredible arms on the planet. She looks great, fit, and just has this wonderful body and I thought to myself 'man, it'd be…

I hate the excuses because they start to go to work on me, and then I catch myself starting to make excuses, which is BS. There is no excuse. I can work out harder, I can switch things up in different ways. I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks but I'm not going to sit here and cry about it. I'm using it to fortify my…

yummolicious. I love fruit sorbets. Ah, and for those of you who didn't know, when you see a "T" in a recipe, it means tablespoon, when you see" t" in a recipe, it means teaspoon :D Know what else is super yummy to do with frozen bananas and walnuts? Melt down some dark chocolate (aiming for at least 70% here), toss in the…

I'm guessing you either had a tail wind on the way back, or had more downhill, or maybe had a head wind or uphill on the way out. Does your Polar record elevation and stuff like my Garmin does? It'd be interesting to see. Well, you're welcome and congrats! I'm addicted to my BB. I, like you, wear it like its part of my…

because we are primarily made up of water, our bodies require it to function properly. without proper water, our liver has to work doubletime and do the job of our kidneys, our bodies can't burn fat as well, and our skin looks like crap because it's got no moisture to look all hot and supple. water also helps me poop :D…

if your eating habits are including enough roughage, drink more water. hell, drink more water anyways, LOL i used to think it was my morning coffee that 'got things going'. i gave up the morning coffee and have been drinking nothing but water, starting with 20oz as soon as I get out of bed before anything else goes in my…

mental note: next time, the dehydrator is going in the garage. The sound of the fan is driving me insane. I keep thinking I left the stove fan on and want to run up and turn it off, then I remember what the noise is... :-|

I love chips and salsa, but chips aren't part of my perfect plan for eating, so I don't eat them anymore. I had posted a thread here looking for suggestions to use in place of the chips and some dear person suggested cutting up bell peppers and using them to scoop up the salsa. At first, I thought it'd be pepper overload,…
