  • fHello, I am starting my IF lifestyle today. No matter how hard try I cannot lose weight and keep it off. So I am going to reset insulin resistance. The idea makes good sense. Truly more sense than starving on 1200 calories exercising to eat food only be hungrier. It is just so exhausting and heartbreaking. I had no issues…
  • Wow there are some great questions here, if they are not all answered you can look back through the message board for similar topics. 1. Every now and again no, but the alcohol will burn first and drinking can make you have the munchies. 2. There should be no problem. Most gyms have lots of things to do. You might not want…
  • I would try to break up what I could. If you get in the habit of doing it it will become easier. Also, if it is pan seared it has butter don;t forget to add the hidden ingredients too. You can ask for specifics from the waiter, Like do they use oil or butter, what is the crust. I would do it after if you have your heart…
  • Thanks for the info. It was nice of you to post it since the links are sometimes jacked up. However, I will say that about 99.9% of folks on this site will say muscle weighs more than fat because it is more dense. Fat takes up more space and really that is what we are trying to get rid of. It is not ignorance per say, it…
  • You may need to find other ways to eat. if you are a grazer and have no set time to eat meals and snacks try eating your meals and snack only at certain times. If you eat at certain times you may need to be a grazer. Either way make sure you get you proper calorie intake and that you try to eat good for you foods. Other…
  • lots of salt+water= water retention if your cheat was on your hungry hormone day your won't even out for a few weeks.
  • Are you sure you are inputting your food correctly? Do you measure it or just guess? Are you eating your exercise calories back? Do you know you BMI? Have you set real goals? My Son did not eat very good, Monster sodas and fast food, frozen crap he would use his own money on. He was very lucky to actually like outdoor…
  • Why don't you find a restaurant that already serves something close, don;t go when it is busy, and tip for two. A side note, the kitchen is the one that makes the food, they are the ones that gives the servers a hard time. You could also inquire about the kitchen's mood before razing the menue choices.

  • you can find restaurants that are Vegi friendly just type in the city in the search and go from there. Also, don;t forget that they have websites listed with .de that you may find info in. make sure you are in Google chrome or some other browser that will translate for you. this should help with all your trip planning too.…
  • I Know why you have little response to this. Wow that is a lot of folks to cook for. Not to rain on your parade, but maybe shine a ray of light, I want to give you some info about food for a wedding. It takes a commercial kitchen 2 whole days to prepare and feed that many people a main course with 2 sides. so here are some…
  • Thank you for the cheers! This morning I had a banana, instead of the adkins bar.
  • Legend, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth These would be watched on a circuit for about 6 months.:bigsmile: I think it was the longest I did that. I just remember one day coming in a looking for one of them and Mom said the cats peed on them.:noway: This of course was believable because they peed on everything.:sad: still not a…
  • like... I have found that this is true in many cases. sometimes you can see they are following a type of diet, other times just cheaters. there is a my food section for folks who wish too modify things for themselves it should be used more.
  • Remember that is 1375-1200 once you eat you exercise cals. you want the bottom number at the ed of the day to say 1375-1200. so if you eat 1600 and then exercise away 300-400 cals your bottom will be 1200-1300. Also, your body doesn't know about 24 hours in a day. block yourself into a 3 day cycle. If you if in the last 3…
  • If you don't have an issue with cholesterol, then don't worry about it. Just make sure you watch the calories. a seemingly healthy meal can become every unhealthy when you start adding things like, full fat cheese, oil in the pan, ect.

  • Maybe it is time to add a few more cals to you diet. Also, add some lifting to your fitness. You could add a protein shake on your way home after workout. Try squats, arm curls, bar lounges, dips and use real weight not the girl kind. ask you gym for help with the equipment. good luck
  • I agree with the extra added sugar thing. You should be watching that amount. keep it as close to 0 as possible and you will do just fine. Sugar by volume carries more cals. so less sugar can help with cal counting.
  • It is great to swing in under a number. good for you. We are here for you when you need a boost for the next One too.
  • the crab meat is great! just be careful of the sodium.
  • I do also have this roll, mine seems to go away at about 180 and lots of push ups, rows, pull up, arm circles, ect, later. I know this because between our 2nd and 3rd also with between our 3rd and 4th, I lost some of my pregnancy weight. SO I am now doing what I did before and it is working again. bye- bye back roll!
  • Hit is a great cardio program. it is the sprint jog walk thing folks are doing one the tread mill. you can do an incline version and just walk until you get use to the tread mill. it is real fun on the elliptical too. ask a trainer to program one in for you, they have codes at the desk. And set up an appointment with them.…
  • Sounds to me you seem to be off to a great start but may also want some maintenance worked in. Always be as active as you want. if you prefer to walk/run/cardio go for it, or if you want to dance and lift and bike and swim go crazy girl! When you finally decide to do some muscles on the upper bod to tone those arm wiggles…
  • all right here it is. YOu may be eating too much sugar. change out your fiber counter for a sugar counter. unless you have a reason to keep up with fiber as you eat better your fiber will go up, so you are wasting that tally space. Next, set your percentages to 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. the fat you will be adding to…
  • It is natural sugars. Some folks will say yes but yet advocated pasta, and that can be worse. Eat fresh, not subway unless your buying. LOL
  • Yes, Even on one drunken night when both of you decide to give it a try, you will still be friends. If it is meant to be it will, but if not you will have a good laugh.
