How has everyone been doing? Today I had 106 calories LEFT! woohoo for me! I also run of the treadmil for 2 miles with out stopping! I am SO proud of myself because I have never been a runner, and just the thought of running 2 miles seemed horrible! Now my goal is to finish 3.1 miles (a 5k) and then wait untill summer is…

Can someone PLEASE share some info on this topic for me. I always hear people complaine that they are weighing in more the few days before and durring their period. How much of this is true and why?

wow, GOOD job everyone! I am a begginner runner and I can barly get 2 miles done at a time. Hopefully one day I will work up to the 5 mile mark, which is my goal eventually! I did not get any excersize in today, Wendsdays are my days off! Tomarrow I plan on doing a 1.5 mile run on the treadmil, then resting for some…

I drink alot of green tea latly. I cant stand to much water, it bores me..so the taste of the green tea (I make "sun green tea" is a wonderful change for me! Try making a large batch and placing it in the frige to cool w/ some sliced fruits or veggies. (I have tried, and like...cucumber slices, lemon OR lime slices,…

One of my fav, "diet breakfasts" one far free yogurt w/ pecans and flaxseed!

I ended up doing ok today! For lunch I had 3 small garden burger lettuce wraps, and for dinner I made a tofu and veggie curry w/ brown rice. Its just to bad that I still have 13 calories left and im about to drink them all plus more! (alcohol)

TOFUHEART= What do you do for work?

LOW fat, low cal lunches and snacks? Over the last few months I have been eating MorningStar veggie burgers topped w/ red peppers, onions, carrots and a low cal dressing all wrapped up in lettuce or cabbage leafs. :smile: I think I need some new ideas... So im wondering what you like to eat for lunch!

DANG IT! I feel like I have been working SO hard, and today im freggin UP on the scale. I seriously want to cry. I have been following a good diet and excersizing 3-4 sometimes 5 days a week. Yesterday I added another bowl of the bean and veggie soup and 1/4 cup of frozen yogurt. I know, SHAME ON ME...but to be up a lbs?…

ok, hopefully you all will be able to help me out... Today I put in all my foods and drinks and excersizes, and the silly thing is telling me im " -28 cal's remaning " and that I have earned 372 extra calories from excersize. So did the caluclator add that into the existing food calories or do I subtract that myself? I…

Very cool to meet all of you! Im so glad more of you joined us and now we really have a nice little group going :happy: How is everyone doing today? I am stressin out. I have been eating really good, well except (there is always a "except" right..lol) over the weekend. It was my daughters 2nd birthday and mothers day, so…

Hi, I dont know if you follow a strict vegan (or vegetarian) diet, but imt starting a vegetarian group, if you want to join! =) We are always in need of new veggie lovers and recipes!

WOW, good for you! I dream of being 10 lbs down! And if I slip a little bit, im always up on the scale, so good job! =)

My husband and I have been running a few days a week for the last few months. EVERY single time I run I get horrible cramps on my right side under and behind my ribcage. I have tried taking motrin before my run, I have tryed upping my water intake, which is already good. I have tried eating a banana before my run, and im…

WOW, good for you guys! Im still a "begginner runner" and I dream of a 5K. I think im going to give myself untill after the summer, and once the island cools down a bit! =)

YES I find it ALOT harder, thats why the weekends are my days off! =) That way I dont have to stress and feel guilty for not getting to my work out!

I had some today! Homemade roasted red pepper hummus w/ basil and lots of garlic! Dipped w/ cucumbers and carrot sticks!

A "green smoothie" (blueberries, peaches, spinach and ice) and a fat free yogurt w/ pecans and flaxseed!

I am starting a vegetarian group in the support board, im sure once it kicks off you can get alot of ideas there! I always google for new veggie recipes, there are many out there, the possibilities are endless! =) Like tonight my family had... Black and garbonzo bean burgers topped w/ avacado, cilantro and a pineapple…

I could REALLY use a friend who can motivate and support me as I work torward my goal of becoming a regular runner. I have been running off and on w/ my hubby for a few months now, but cramping issues (I will get into that later). Before I run my mouth any more trying to explaine myself, I would be intrested in seeing if…

I am super new here, so im not sure if there is or has been a group for vegetarians? I would love to start one if ANYONE is willing to join me!

I dont know why, but I cant figure out how to make a siggy w/ my ticker? Where do I make my sig?

That is VERY cool Melissa! I am always trying to cook w/ local ingredients here, and im slowly teaching myself about the veggies and what to do with them!
