you're not alone! I am now! I walk past Mcdonalds EVERY DAY to and from work (and it's near my house, because my work is also near my house). and i'm not tempted ever to step inside (and when I do, say with friends, i don't order anything). I just shake my head at everyone I see turning into mcdonalds on my walk into work…

I eat lots of stuff: egg white omelettes packed with veggies - or sometimes egg white, some low fat cheese, some avocado on a whole wheat english muffin (my own egg mcmuffin! :)), or greek yogurt with some kind of berries, or oatmeal with cranberries, chia seeds and dried coconut added..... so I agree with the protein!…

Was visiting my family on Easter weekend. My parents had seen me fairly recently when I'd lost most of my weight - i was a size 8 when I last saw them a few months ago, and i've gone down to a size 6 now (only losing another 5lbs, but due to toning up) As soon as they saw me my parents said: My dad : You look great! My…

Thanks so much everyone! :smile: Yes, I've found an awesome running buddy - a girl at work who's been a runner for 10+ years, so she knows what she's talking about when giving me advice on posture, what to wear/not to wear, when to eat...lots of good advice! :). I went out and bought new running shoes when I first decided…

Thank you!! I've just been grinning like an idiot all day today! :bigsmile:

Getting weighed at the doctors, and i hadn't weighed myself in a LONG time, because I knew I'd gotten fat....but the dr told me I weighed 210, and i thought i was around 190 (still even if I HAD been 190, it was too big for 5'3!). And so that was my wake up call!!
-
I'd like to know the answer to this as well, because I am considering getting one (i don't have anything at the moment except a crappy Sportline wristwatch/HRM/calorie thing that doesn't work well)

This page has some good info on it with egg alternatives for baking. http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianvegan101/f/eggsubstitute.htm or just google vegan (or vegetarian) egg substitutes. good luck! :)

like other people have said: protein keeps you fuller, longer! I've been having a lot of MASSIVE egg white omelettes for breakfast (1 cup of those egg whites from the little cartons) and add a bunch of veggies (spinach, peppers, onions, mushrooms, asaparagus, whatever), toss in a bit of light feta cheese, pepper (and no…

I drink lots more water, and am conscious about what I eat now. I eat a lot more whole/clean/nutritious foods. And the major change for me is I've cut out milk and switched to almond milk instead for way less sugar and carbs (and cals!) (though I do still sometimes have cream in my coffee at work, but...i'm trying to…

I do mainly her DVD's a couple times a week for my workouts (along w/ walking to/from work and walking the dog), but I'm also starting to take up running (well, jogging) as well, so i will just add that to me weekly routine! glad to know extra cardio is encouraged with her workouts (of which i do 30DS, RI30, Banish…

I'm 5'3 and i'm 131lbs and I wear a size 6. (only exception is size 4 in Diva cropped jeans from Old Navy - the regular Diva old navy jeans i'm a size 6).
-
LOL that's awesome!

I have switched to part-skim mozzarella for my cheese. It's healthier than regular cheddar or whatever.
-
Personally my fave plain kind is President's Choice plain 0% fat free! I didn't like greek yogurt at first but now it's my fave kind. i usually add stuff to it (chia seeds, cranberries, berries) or add it to smoothies or baking. Also their vanilla and lemon flavours are yum. Also liberte is quite good for their flavoured…

Loved this! Thanks for sharing, I found it really interesting.

indian spiced shredded chicken with onion, mushrooms, green bell peppers, pineapple on basmati rice! and then i'll be taking the left over chicken and having it on brown rice with lentils and quinoa tomorrow! :)
-
Ooohh! I love challah bread! haven't had it in awhile, but I didn't realize it was low carb - AWESOME! I'm going to go get some at a bakery, i think! :) thanks for the info! :) (and i love eggs, so eggy bread is good to me! :D) and thanks for that recipe - i am going to make some TODAY! (i've never made homemade bread but…

I am also about to start training for my first 5k! (i've never run anywhere before, except trying to jog home which is only 2k (1.2m). But a co-worker who is a long time runner has offered to take me out on a few short runs next week to give me some pointers and she recommended I get some good running shoes (all i have are…
-
but you could easily make your own at home, probably cheaper - and you know everything that'll be in it, so it'll be better for you! :)

Congrats on losing 10lbs so far, and isn't it great when other people notice our efforts? it definitely is very motivating and encouraging. I think it is the best motivator, to be honest - getting compliments from people, and having others notice the difference, because sometimes we can't really notice it ourselves! good…
-
that sounds so yummy! i've never tried the chocolate almond milk (i'm usually just plain/unsweetened)...i think i'll have to!
-
it depends. sometimes it's egg white omelettes with asparagus, peppers and onions, sometimes it's oatmeal with chia seeds,cranberries and coconut. Sometimes it's multigrain toast with almond butter, sometimes it's pumpkin protein pancakes (oats,pumpkin, cottage cheese, egg whites, pumpkin pie spice). sometime's its just…

I am also wanting to train for my 1st 5k at the end of May! i am going to start jogging with a co-worker who is a long time runner who will give me some pointers... and she just told me to dress appropriately for the weather and run in all weathers outside (thankfully it's getting nicer here now, but still quite chilly -…

I was eating at around 1200 for a few months last year (eating high protein, low carb so I was NEVER hungry!) more obviously if i exercised. But then back in Oct last year i slowly increased my cals (by 100 a week) and now i'm at around 1700 daily, because i'm trying to maintain. I've lost about 5-ish more lbs though, and…

I'm 5'3 and I've lost 76 lbs. Here's a comparison, but i've actually lost a few more lbs since then (i'm around 133 now). and i have more muscle on my body than fat now! whoo! i've reached my goal weight, i just want to tone up the remaining flabby bits (stomach and thighs/butt). also i didn't really reward myself with…

Hey, I've almost lost a gold brick! who knew gold bricks were so heavy?! not me! LOL

Wow, lots of east coasters here! I'm from Vancouver! :) any fellow Vancouverites feel free to add me! :)

I've never watched The Biggest Loser til this season, and I have to say, I enjoy it. I take it for what it is - entertainment. I know all the drama and crap is probably all manufactured, and the overly dramatic weigh-ins I shake my head at - along with the infomercial-like obvious product placement in every episode. But It…

i switch between 3's and 5s. i use 3's for a lot of it but 5's for chest flys and things - and in her other dvds i use the 5's for deadlifts and other moves.
