I cut out alcohol during the week altogether when I used to have wine almost every night and now only let myself drink on Fridays/Saturdays. That lets me get my party on without blowing everything. I watch what I eat even stronger on Fridays so that I have some extra cals for my party. just be prepared for the "alcohol…

For fast walking/running I <3 Trance. I keep with the beat, lol. My favourites are Dash Berlin, Armin Van Buuren, and some Tiesto. (Of course, I just got back from Ultra Music Fest in miami so I am a bit biased right now, lol)

They're only ranting because then they don't make money off of you if you buy from Amazon or Craigslist or something instead. *end of my rant*

I know I always get "alcohol bloat" for a couple of days after I drink. Your body retains water bad. I limit my drinking to just Fri & Sat now (I used to drink every night) and I have much better results.

I second this vote - I have one every morning. :) I use the pre-mixed ones in the little silver containers and I have found I *crave* them now each morning.
-
I have to walk (or otherwise workout) waaaaaay before bedtime. Its a stimulant to me and I am energized for hours after. Great when walking to the bus in the morning on the way to work, not so great after an 8pm wii zumba session... :) valerian helps quiet the "carnival" in the mind if you are still buzzing hours after a…

Ibuprophen will help. as will thenagging voice in your head that tells you it is worth it! I had a personal trainer a long time ago and it was worth every penny. He told me, "you will miss the day you don't get sore anymore" and I knew it was true. i used to strength train and there is a certain feeling of....…

sorry sweetie, i think you have the wrong parts to be her type, lolol.....

after much observation of those interested (both male and female), skinny body - you can have a "butter face" but have a nice bod, and they could care less.... (however personally i like my girls with a little more curves and an accent, lol)
-
out i do vodka and diet *random energy drink* at home, i make my special Flaming C*** recipe and each one is close to 800 calories but it only takes one (especially if you budget for those calories during the day. ;) in all honesty, I realized I won't ever give up drinking altogether to lose weight - good for those that…

glad to see I'm not the only one with their mind elsewhere....
-
I get b-complex and b-12 vitamins from Wal-mart as part of my daily routine. Not sure how much they help with the weight loss, but they help keep my energy up throughout the day so I can keep going, even on low calories!
-
I just got mine but I cannot eat ANYTHING else that day (except salad with no dressing or something) if I get a Chipotle..... but it is so good!!!
-
I am in the same boat today. Plus its rainy and gloomy out today so its just all blah. I just overdose on caffeine, that seems to make my mood improve if nothing else. *laugh* Tomorrow will be a better day. Chin up! :)
-
I love gyms that have TV's - they make time fly by for me. Either that, or I load tv shows or other vids on the ipod and set it where I can watch it on the machine. If my brain is busy paying attention to something else, I don't notice it nearly as much. :)

YAYS! Thanks!!! Gardein (my favourite fake meat evah) has a dollar off coupon right now: http://www.gardein.com/ecoupon.php

I've said this before on MFP: I build my alcohol calories into my day. There's an added side bonus I guess you could say because I drink less since I get tipsy faster with less food in my tummy, lol. But I've found as long as I am only drinking on the weekends when I go out, and I log it - every drink - and then follow up…
-
I totally <3 asparagus on my foreman. With a dash of garlic powder and drizzled with just a little bit of olive oil, so nummy!!! I make asparagus as my late night snack, lol. I've also added crispness to broccoli on the grill - I take frozen broccoli and boil it jsut enough todefrost then cook the rest of the way on the…

I got mine at GameStop here (after checking wal-mart, best buy, and target) for $39.99 - I couldn't wait for Amazon, I wanted it now! *laugh*
-
and beware the post alcohol bloat - it goes away, but usually there is extra water after a night of mostly alcohol dinner calories, *laugh*
-
Gooooo Steelers! I work my alcohol calories into my day. I prefer white zin, but I've found that chardonnay has less calories so I started liking that instead. I can't bring myself to drink red though....
-
cheese. and more cheese. and cheese inside of cheese. and fried cheese. and mozzarella cheese with tomatoes and olive oil. and cheesesticks dipped in marinara and queso de frier and cheese cake and string cheese and sharp cheddar with wine and cheese.
-
I take one measurement at my belly button that I call my waist measurement and then I take another measurement like an inch or maybe two below that that I call the Pooch measurement. The idea is to get the pooch measurement and the waist measurement as close to the same as possible, lol
-
Everyone's body is different, and we all lose and gain in different places.... But as for me, I have gone up and down this scale trip a few times and my boobs rarely change. Heck, i still wear the bra I bought 10 years ago now. But I am a DD either way - skinny and big. I do notice though that if I work out pecs a lot,…
-
check out some vegan cheese shreds - they are usually healthier and melted on stuff they are pretty ok. (to be honest, even though I am a vegetarian, I just loves me some whole-fat real cheese, lol - its my absolute weakness!)
-
Bi polar meds made me gain terribly - Seroquel was pretty bad but Depakote was the worst! When i was on generic Depakote, I gained massively while on a near starvation diet (due to circumstances, not choice) of 600 calories a day! I just stopped taking the bi-polar meds. however, I did well on just Lexapro and then my ADD…
-
It is so worth it though, just keep trying. I joked with a friend of mine after a class one time that I need to apologize to these poor instructors. They spend all this time choreographing fantastic routines only to watch me butcher them terribly! It must be heartbreaking. *laugh* As long as you have fun and move, that is…
-
I've fallen in love with Zumba - I may be uncoordinated as heck but the workouts are super fun no matter what. :) I take classes and do vids, you can find some examples on YouTube too.
-
yes, they help, but be careful - when you go off them, the weight flies back. Same as with any stimulant. I am supposed to be on Adderall (along with some other meds0 and was on it for several year. When I lost my insurance - and thereby lost all my "crazy meds" I gained 70lbs within a couple of months. Now it wasn't all…

Sounds awesome, though to turn it vegitarian friendly I'd use Gardein Chik'n Strips or Chik'n Scalopini and season it that way. Num! http://www.gardein.com/products.php?t=fresh&p=13
