buy an envelope for Korean BBQ at your local oriental store. Follow the direction for mixing it, let it marinate with tofu overnight. Normally the tofu is cubed to bite size pieces. Add scallions & any other veggies you like, brown in a wok & serve. Tastes like steak, you'll never know the difference. ☺

i'd google the restaraunt's menu for info prior to going out ☺

why? And no to me it's not a good idea. I guess some do it to cleanse their colon. What are your reasons?

get a softball place it over the sore spot, and keep rolling it over the muscle. It will get better. But for longer term, drink diet tonic water. Keeps the muscle cramps away. ☺

If you're going to do this; do it for yourself, not to prove something to others. Love your body it's the only one you have, treat it well. Drinking = making stupid choices Eating too much Losing motivation Depression Laziness Get out of your rut! Why can't people go out for a night of fun with their friends without…

Yeah you say you eat between 1000-1500, I suspect 1000 is in starvation mode. And maybe 1500 is too much? What does the program say you should consume?

You're substituting food for the cigarettes, to relieve stress. Recommend exercises to retrain your mind set on the stress. It (stress) doesn't go away with food or smoking, you're just punishing yourself. Talk to a close friend, try deep breathing exercises, or cleaning spree. Anything to stop from harming yourself. ☺

Its obvious you're sweating there as I do. Get some alcohol swabs, and wipe down after your shower with alcohol. You'll probably have to do this all summer. This should clear them up.

Oh I don't have a favorite, just love saving money. Too bad it didn't die last fall as in the off season you can pick up a nice big gas grill for 100.00.

My gym suggests eating an orange after a work out, less calories than a banana, and NO grapes are the sweetest fruit there is (sugar) per Dr Oz.

use flat bread for sandwiches. Substitute frozen veggies for pasta, or even squash. No white potatoes only Yams or Sweet Potatoes, no white rice use brown. Also there is a vitamin to stop your body from soaking up the carbs; White bean extract, the brand I bought is Terry Naturally Dieters Choice for Carb Control found in…

I tried the gum, patches, fake cigarettes, pills - still all in your head. Don't waste time or money.

It's all about setting your mind to quitting. If the mind isn't sure you won't make it. I said a prayer daily, and said when I smoke the last one I won't buy anymore. Guess what? I haven't. It's been nearly 8 years. You deserve a healthy LONG life. Tell yourself this daily. I watched my mom die painfully with cancer. Her…

keep on going as you are, it will take time, you're making muscle to replace fat and muscle weighs more. Look for the results ☻

The body fat is a long way down the road, live for each day in calories & exercise. Don't check every week, let yourself be suprised when you get there?

Eat plenty of protein while building your hiking / biking endurance. ☺

Sorry for telling you to eat, but if you told a doctor how many calories you're eating he may commit you to teach you to eat more. Sounds nearly bulimic or anorexic. Since it's about your "head" I think therapy is in order.

you're starving yourself. Of course the body is in defense. Use the tools to tell you how much to eat, and then use your calories with healthy choices; lean meat, fruits, veggies

Go to Macy's and have them help you get that perfect fit, also let them know if any dislikes first hand like lace, rubber, satin etc.. A perfect fit is so comfy.

stretch always before and after. Start out small and work up your minutes working out. If you get muscle cramps even with the stretching drink diet tonic water. Do you belong to a gym? I do zumba, leg presses, swimming, exercise bike, kettle ball lifts & sauna. Not all everyday, I have certain days for certain activites.…

Muscle is heavier than fat. You're building muscle ☺

lol, I had white bean chicken chili this morning, home made of course

peanut butter pie, cookies, milk shakes, ice cream ☺

pita pit

steam until done. Rinse in strainer than smush the water completely out. Place in bowl with lid, add lemon to taste. Chill over nite. Delightful ☺

eating late isn't good

Your friend is right on! You are in starvation mode. Let the calculator tell you your calories and eat them! You should start losing again within a few weeks, helped me.

I feel the best with lunch being my biggest meal, but if you work that can be hard. Buy lean meats ; fish, ground turkey, steak, chicken. I eat a home made burrito or turkey tacos for lunch, yogurt & tropical fruit for snack, salad or coleslaw for dinner. (example) Actually you can check out my diary, altho thingy says…

Greens; Kale, asparagus, artichokes, avocado etc... Check out Dr Oz site for tips.

Get outta that couch and keep a full length mirror where you'll see yourself alot. We're here for ya!
