the only things i can think of are tuna that can now be bought in individual packets, fresh fruit, and soups.

i like to bake sweet potatoes and then put a little butter, sometimes i also add a little splenda and cinnomon or pumpkin pie spice.

I'm sorry for your loss, Good job getting back to you diet.

I agree with most of the other posts. You can watch you calorie intake and lose weight by making healthy food choices. The trick to any weight loss is to eat less calories than you burn. You probably won't be able to swim until all of the incisions heal completely which may take 4-6 weeks. But once that is healed check…

If you decide to try vitamin d you can always ask the dr. to test your vitamin d levels. i have fibromyalgia and i take 2000 iu of vitamin d a day. it has made a world of difference. i still have some pain on rainy gloomy days but it is beareable. my dr. tested my vitamin d levels anything below 50 tend to have…

I don't think feeling depressed goes with calorie counting. Watch your diet and make sure you are getting enough B vitamins, a good muliple vitamin/mineral supplement may help. If the depression worsens or continues for a long period of time you may need to see your doctor.

water exercise is still your best option. try just walking for 30 minutes in the pool and work up. you might also try a silver splash or arthritic water class which would also be easier on you joints and back. if you try a regular water aerobics class be sure and tell the instructor about your back problem and she can…

There are so many variables that effect our weight that weighing daily can sometimes cause more…

i only count calories for my exercise classes.

Beef contains a lot of iron and since you are eating mostly chicken that could be contributing to the tired feeling. also your body may be used to higher levels of protein. protein eaten in conjunction with simple or…

not sure how many calories you are allowed each day, but rule of thumb is not to go under a 1000 calories a day, you won't lose if you stay below that number, and it is best to eat 1200 calories a day. so if i was below 1000 calories i think i would find something healthy like fruit to get my calorie intake to 1000.

congradulations on your pregnancy. always check with your doctor before doing anything new also check to see if what you are doing is now safe since your are pregnant. i think the rule most doctors follow is you can continue whatever you were doing. walking is always a safe exercise as is any kind of water exercise like a…

since you are using weights in your kickboxing class i wouldn't add much too it. sounds like you are getting some strenght trainging already. the minimum reccomended time for exercise is 20-30 minutes 3 times a week. by exercising 1 hr every other day your are getting more than the minimum. thing is you don't won't to burn…

three days of cario, like kickboxing and two days of strength training are ideal. if you could add a pilates class to that or body sculpt or just work with weights for strength.
