The elliptical and I do really enjoy free weights (I take a strength training class). :happy:

Hi everyone, looking for some help. A couple things. For about 2 years, I counted carbs not calories and was really successful getting to my goal weight. Then, life happened (I have one very troubled teenager) and I started eating and skipping the gym. After consulting a nutrition councellor, she mentioned that I should…

OMG. I don't know if I have ever laughed so hard. That totally describes my hubby. Especially the looking for the remote and settling for the calculator. :laugh: Thanks for the good laugh. I sure needed it! Charlene :drinker:

Nope, couldn't do it. put the chips away but not the chocolate. Now I am going to have to walk for an extra 1/2 hr. Ahh, thats not so bad really. :grumble:

My weakness in Ketchup chips and chocolate covered caramels. In fact, I am snacking on that right now. Yes, I am ashamed! :mad: :sad: If I eat it all it will be 630 cals. I hope I can just put it away before I finish. I let y'all know if I can. :

I really admire that you can only have a "taste" of something. If I even put it in my mouth, I have to eat all of it. :grumble: I mean really, I don't understand how someone can have a bite of a chocolate bar and wrap it up for another bite tomorrow - it is totally beyond me :huh: I just try and stay away as much as…

I have the same problem at work. I try not to eat the junk but sometimes it just calls me.

A GIRLIE THING...... If you have problems with yeast infections, you can do a detox/cleanse for that too. A lot of women that I have talked to that have changed their eating habits, exercising are experiencing issues "down there" and this is also an all natural thing. NON GIRLIE THING....... Make sure you tell your doc. If…

I did a 30 day cleanse/detox just to try and get my digestive system back to normal. It really helped. It was an all natural cleanse and you could only eat things that were organic and "from the earth". Nothing refined or man made/enhanced and no dairy! I felt like crap for the first week but after that I noticed that I…

Lost 3.4lbs this week. JMO - Orange and black are the biggest threat. Yes, its great to make friends and meet nice people but you go there for one purpose only - Lose Weight! I thought pink should have stayed. Its too bad but its just a game right? Glad that the mom had her rant before they left LOL. As for purple, I don't…

I download Podrunner from iTunes - I love it! Its free and you can't beat that. They give you the BPM (beats per minute) so that you can figure out how intense you want your workout (135 for walking - 160+ for cardio and running). Most playlists are about an hour and they are usually mostly just the music and no lyrics. It…

Lemons (or any fruit) and water is a great way to choke it down. I use a Brita and it really does make the water taste better. With so many low cal crystals you can add to water - it makes it easier to get it down. My trick is a bottle of water on the drive to work and one on the way home (just hope I don't get stuck in…
-
I drink a lot of water. I heard 8-8oz glasses a day plus another 8oz for each 10lbs you want to lose. :noway: Thats what I do. At first you have to "P" a lot but your body gets used to it and then you get back to a normal potty schedule.:tongue: I also heard that you should drink the equivilent of water as you do coffee in…

If you have a spouse or children that don't like veggies, this is a good one. You can slowly introduce it with potatoes and a little cauliflower and then the next time half and half and so on. Depending on how much potatoes you do eat. Also, make sure you use some spices (like garlic) to mask some of the flavor of…

Hey, that's not so bad! I have had some pretty bad ones myself. Just one trip to MacDonald's will screw up everything LOL (I know I know but the guilt will kill you afterwards). My last three time I caved in: Yesterday - nacho's n'cheese, two chocolate bars. I can only justify by saying that I was really excited to watch…

Excellent advice - thank you!

This is the best way to get kids to eat veggies. My favorite thing to do when my kids were small was to puree carrots and add them to spagetti sauce. They never knew the difference. If you are going to do that, test it out first. Some veggies are too strong tasting and you might have to hide it with spices. Works good to…

What a horrible thing to have happen! Its absolutely unbelievable. :noway: Keep your chin up and know that you are a good person that didn't deserve that comment. Some people are just ignorant. I'm not defending her (please don't think that) but she probably shot that back at you because she was embarrased - as well she…

Question. I work out almost everyday. To lose the weight I need, I have to exercise 90 minutes of cardio per day. Thats fine. But....is that 90 minutes of cardio only and then weight training on top of that? :huh: I just find that I can meet the calories I have to burn (about 600 I think) in less than an hour at the gym. I…

Good for you! Healthy choices can be so hard especially when your mouth starts watering for a burger.....I love burgers. :love: I think I will make them for dinner tonight - sans bun of course. :tongue:

I gained! Not sure what the heck is going on! Drinking lots of water, eating properly, but had to take 2 days off because of a back ache. Maybe it was the two bowls of icecream. Oh, and a piece or two of cake. But 5 lbs? Really? :noway: Current weight: 176.6 :explode: Congrats everyone that lost this week! Especially 8lbs!…

I belong to a woman's only gym and its great. I know I feel a lot more comfortable. There are woman working out and they will just take off their shirts and finish in their sport bras because they are too hot. Who cares right? There are women that are over 300lbs, super skinny chippies, a few disabled and we even have a…

I weigh about 172 (ish)lbs and would like to get down to about 160. I was at 157 2 years ago and I was too thin. My eyes and cheeks were sunken. I didn't see it then but I look at pictures and I see it now. You know, its funny. I am almost 5ft8 and if I go by a bmi calculator, I am overweight, even at 160 lbs. :huh: Kinda…

Does it count if you bite the chocolate and taste it on your tongue then spit it out? :laugh: I wiped the "residue" off my tongue too. :tongue: What did you try and spit out today cause you felt guilty? :devil:
