I take quite a bit of supplements too. I'm taking daily a mulvitamin, calcium supplemant, omega 3, and a fiber pill at night. I'm taking the fiber pills because I'm not currently eating pasta and bread so I need a little fiber boost to keep everything regular. Not familiar with Glucosamine Chondroitin Triple Strength so I…

Chips. I don't buy them because I can't control myself.

I wouldn't aim to lose any more weight. 155 lbs. seems really light for a 6ft man. Instead of cardio I would switch to strength training and maybe hire a personal trainer to help you focus on the spots you want to improve.

Going through the same predicament. My ring is starting to get loose and I am wondering if I should eventually resize it or wear it on a different finger. I would hate to resize my ring and then gain back some of the weight and have the ring be too tight.

Soy milk has more protein than almond milk, but Almond Milk has less calories, fat and carbs. I'm not a fan of the taste of soy milk so I drink almond milk or coconut milk. My favorite brand of almond milk is Almond Breeze Original Unsweetened. It has 30 cal, 2.5g fat, 1 carb, 1g protein, 45% calcium, 25% Vitamin D, and…

Sounds like you are gaining muscle which is a good thing! It could be possible that you increased your calories a little too much? It would be worth reducing your calorie intake by 100 calories for a week to see if makes a difference.

Definitely Adam Sandler! Would also be fine if Jack Black, David Spade, Vin Diesel, Sylvester Stallone, Tori Spelling, Miley Cyrus, Fran Drescher, Jennifer Lopez, Pauly Shore and Jennifer Love Hewitt gave up acting!

I lift weights twice a week in addition to my cardio because I don't want everything to jiggle! I wonder if more people would lift if they knew that lifting weights can help protect your bones and prevent osteoporosis-related fractures?

You could decorate the nursery in soft pastels other than pink. However, if your daughter grows up to love the color pink you'll have to indulge her.

Personally I watch my sugar intake because if I eat too much sugar, pasta, flour, bread or rice it hinders my weightless. So my suggestion would be if you lose can lose weight and eat sugar go for it, but if it makes you gain weight avoid it. Not only do I avoid sugar, but I also avoid sugar-free foods because they usually…

Wow, awesome job!

If you are eating too many calories that could be causing the weight gain. The question is: are you gaining muscle or are you gaining fat? Muscle is denser than fat and takes up less space so if you are losing inches than the weight gain is muscle, but if you are gaining inches it is fat.

13. You might pee yourself while your run, or worse. Umm, gross! I'd rather add a few minutes to my race time and make use of a portapotty.

My husband and I dated for seven years before we got engaged. Besides changing my last name and putting a sparkly diamond on my finger nothing has changed, but it was nice to make things official. I'm just glad we didn't go crazy and throw a $20,000 bash. We kept things simple and spent $7,000. Since we kept the costs down…

I've lost 17 lbs. and just started to notice the results in the mirror. The weird thing is that I still fit into the same pants size (my 12s are just looser). I'm wondering how many more pounds I'll have to lose to fit into my 10s.

I don't dread eating out, I just avoid it. Even if I can figure out the approximate calories it's hard to determine the sodium and fat content. Usually I order a chicken breast and steamed vegetables or garden salad with balsamic vinegar. Kinda boring options and I can make this food at home for cheaper so why waste money…

If you don't want to reduce your fruit consumption how about eating fruits that contain less sugar? Bananas, Mangos, Pineapple, Pears and Melon have a lot of fructose. Apples, berries, and grapefruit have lower sugar content.

Maybe you are consuming too many calories? Be cautious of sugar and fat content in the granola bars. Some of those granola bars are as bad as eating a candy bar. Bananas are great in moderation, but they pack a ton of fructose. An apple or berries would be a better option. If you aren't seeing results on the scale try…

Lapband patients have to go on a liquid diet two weeks prior to their surgery. From what I've heard it is absolutely miserable, but you do lose weight. (But they were eating junkfood prior to the liquid diet and had over 100 lbs. to lose so any healthy change would have probably resulted in a weightloss.)

Getting fit is a full time job, but if you manage your time wisely you can do it! At first it was a bit overwhelming: shopping for healthy foods, researching healthy recipes, cooking healthy meals, packing lunches and snacks for work, exercising, and extra laundry from my workout clothes, but it gets easier. I started…

I noticed a lot of the Greek Yogurts are higher in sugar than regular yogurt. When I do eat Greek Yogurt I usually eat the plain kind because it has the least amount of sugar. I'll mix cucumber, lemon juice, garlic and fresh dill to make a Tzatziki Sauce that I eat with raw veggies as an afternoon snack. Another low sugar…

I really liked this article on Today: http://www.today.com/health/25-ways-flatten-your-belly-summer-741996 Some easy fixes to beat belly bloat were to exercise, get plenty of sleep, skip the soda and high sodium food, and drink lots of water.

I'm on a similar diet with my doctor as well. Feel free to check add me as a friend and check out my food journal. You can actually eat a lot of food if you are careful about your food choices. (Example: Chicken, Fish, and Turkey Breast are about 30 calories per oz, Steak, Pork and Dark Meat Turkey and Dark Meat Chicken…

I got my flu shot last week. Usually I'm not as worried about the flu, but my coworker is dating a guy with kids and his kids have gotten her sick four times already. She managed to spread the germs to everyone else in the office last year so I had to Lysol bomb my office every time I went to work and avoid touching…

I'm a newbie runner as well. I'm using the Couch 2 5k Zen Labs iphone app, but I don't always follow the app and have been going at my own pace. I've always gotten my cardio workout on the elliptical, which is very low impact, so I was in a lot of pain after my first run and couldn't run again for almost a week. Weight…

I'm unfamiliar with both actors so I'm indifferent at this point. Definitely not my first choice of actors for the movie!

LOVE the pink dress! Great shade!

If you are doubting your choice I say find another dress. There are so many other colors and according to the fashion police "you aren't supposed to wear white after Labor Day". (I break this rule in Florida because it is summer 90% of the year!)

AMAZING!!!!

Very cool app! My doctor has me drinking 8 16oz glasses of water a day so I need a little reminder throughout the day. I try to drink the majority of it before 6pm or then I end up waking up in the middle of the night to pee.
