  • Good idea with the salad I will try that. Something has to improve becuase my waist cannot grow much bigger. I am fine at work most days and I am working out but I am such a whimp at night and snack before bedtime....This has been going on since Christmas and now my cloths are tight...
  • love the site about why you are fat, so glad you shared that so I can stop binging at night too. I recently heard an online CME from a Cardiologist he says that heart disease should be classified as a food borne illness since he says that angina can be improved with eating a plant based diet. Eliminate animal fats from the…
  • wow great advice thank you all. I need to join a famers market that sounds awesome.. I heard about it but was not sure how to take it to the next step with little kids and working I thought I was too busy. You all are very inspiring. Thanks
  • Gatorade is for anyone who has exercised greater then 2 hours or intensive water losses. Otherwise water works much better for replacement of fluids. If you flavor the water then add the calories if it has sugar in it which counts for calories.

  • My first marathon was the Blue Angels at NAS Pensacola, FL and I loved that it started on base on the air strip and blue angels did a fly by at the biginning of the race to start us out. It went through town and was flat and beautiful. Another is the Marine Corps Marathon but that was cold with some hills so it was not my…
  • I can relate. I gained 4 lbs since joining a gym. I have gym equipment at home but I thought more weight variety and being with others would help. My measurements increased and I have to drive there with so much else going on in my life but now I am logging in a notebook every bite of anything and on this site too. I think…
  • oh yea I ate cookies, chips, bread, crackers, soup, and candy last night after being good all day. Not even sure why, I think because this time every year I have to take my board exams and studying like that always makes me hungry.
  • I just quit my job to be home more with my kids but OMG I am eating through everything and I guess I am a nervous Nelly. Sure I am with my kids after school but I am giong to have to go back to work or I will get as big as a house soon. I think it is even more stressful to be home then working. That said I hope I can get…
  • wonder if I can stay below 1500 cals on turkey day? Ha just kidding
  • Thanks for the post. I need to stick with measuring or at least logging everything I eat. When I don't log I am more likely to eat badly. I exercise about 1-2 hours a day but for my age that is not enough. Can't believe the scale did not budge for me either. I walked 34,000 steps with my pedometer, lifted weights, and ate…
  • You don't drink it. They are a capsule form that has been dehydrated and sure I try to eat fresh whenever I can but do you do that everyday? What is wrong with getting 17 fruits and veggies a day on top of whatever you can get fresh each day? YOu don't like fruits and veggies?
  • Also take Juice Plus because you get 17 fruits and veggies in every recommended dose and it is only organic fruits and veggies and nothing else no added sugars or supplements only the real deal mother nature organic fruits and veggies
  • sounds crazy but put a pad lock on your refrigerator after 7 PM and your pantry, Then don't bring anymore junk in the house or ice cream just goot stuff like fruits and veggies and healthy protein selections. The best way I loose is keeping that food out of sight. When I am out with people around I am fine with food but…
  • thanks for your post. Juice Plus works over at least 4-6 months. Every 120 days your cells die and you have the ability to change and improve the function of the cells through healthy frutis and veggies. You don't have to buy JP but how else do you get 17 fruits and veggies daily which provide phytonutrients, and decrease…
  • Have you tried getting the bad foods out of the pantry and house keep furit in a bowel at home, keep good stuff at home not the chips etc. When that stuff is around I gain weight and my kids don't need it either. I just gave a party and bought bad foods now my house and cupboards are full of the junk again. I just need to…
  • I can relate. I ate bad on vacation with the kids. I made time to jog in the mornings and swim but ate bad when we went to parks. Not to mention my kids stressed me out on vacation since my husband stayed home. Anyway I am at that depressing state too. I am working out on my own but have gained 8 lbs since the summer…

I need to take a vacation with just the kids and I and that might work out better. Any tips to get healthy again I mean eating tips?
  • I am in Florida too and end up doing the same workout in AM early then work and then end up biking at night and sometimes swimming but oh well sometimes I get a shower at night too. When you swim you are showering 2-3 times just use less conditioner....I love working out my problem is sticking with the right food…
  • I will try can't hurt I have not been able to stick to anything food wise this year but my other goals are working out maybe I will get 3 for 3
  • I know what your saying is true because I lost a bunch of pounds but most body comp following but I was working out and you can eat about 45 gm per meal of carbs with that because you don't want to cause a fatty embolis in your kidneys and be on dialysis because you want to be skinny. They is a balance or you can spill…
  • thanks your right just reading, painting my nails seems to help I need to just do something for myself and get out of that kitchen and the pantry...by the way nice picture
  • I am in too but late joining. Want to loose 30 lbs. the workout is not bad but following the food part can be tricky at night I will keep weighing in...Starting weight 163
  • I do the workouts every day using a pedometer from Virgin Health Miles 17,000-20,000 steps per day but my problem is the food I eat at dinner and night. Got any tips? I really need to loose 30 lbs....
  • The grams are figured out on your food log page most women is is around 200 gms which is about 45 gm per meal. A carb is 15 gm per 1/2 cup serviing unless it is a starch or has sugar then you count double. It is a good ball park guide. You can get exact with a carb counter from Walmart for about 5 bucks

  • If you go to the ER they can perform a rapid step test and will not turn you away for that I don't think...That can affect your heart left untreated. Or could be mono you never know without a blood test for that...But the rapid strep is quick and easy. Publix supermarket has free antibiotics in Florida not sure where you…

  • great advice I copy and pasted your advice. I am a provider and have a lot of info about nutrtion and fitness and enjoyed reading what you told her. My personal dilema is that I don't follow what I preach at night. I have a hard time when serving meals to keep my paws of my kids plates or when we eat out I eat healthy and…
  • I try to log everything. Lots to consider. I like that the program will show how much sodium you ate too... Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods
  • I am with you anyway you can get the required servings I am for so if juicing works for you then thats good enough....I just wish I could eat healthy at night instead of reaching for foods like crackers and such instead of drinking tea and getting more rest...
