I use to be a once every other day or two pooper, but when I started eating properly and exercising regularly I noticed I started pooping at least once a day and there were days where I will poop twice. You will know when you start eating properly because your poop will come out more cylinderical and not so much like…

Not that everybody's bodies are the same, but when I first started working out, I mean really working out, I kept my diet within the calorie range, however what I found, over time my body didn't want the greasy hamburgers or fries. Slowly my body was telling me I had to make better food choices. Don't get me wrong, there…

Rocky Road by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Facotry.........but when I have not met my calorie count to eat one of those I like plain fuji.

I love me some Coke or Dr Pepper, but what I have done to help curb the need is to give myself a cheat day. If I burn "x" number of calories I'll give myself a day to eat/drink whatever I want. When I first started this I told myself that if I burned 700 calories then I would cheat. 700 calories came quicker than I…

However, depending on the establishment and other factors (prior health code violations and such) they may not allow you to use your own dressing because of health code stuff. Worse comes to worse they will tell you you can't.

Making these for dinner tonight!

Don't look at your goal here as a diet, look at it as more of a life change. How do you get from point "A" to point "B" in a car? Is there an obstacle? If so, how do you manage to get around it? This life change you are making is similar. You like sweets! Okay. The first month will be the hardest because the limitation set…

High impact is working at a fast past for a longer period of time with a short rest period in between - for example sprinting in place for a minute as fast as you can, resting or jogging in place for 30 seconds and repeating. Low impact is the opposite. I also use a heart monitor when I work out. There are many out there…

You are doing this the healthy way of which takes longer but the benefits for you and your family will receive will be long lasting. I understand how frustrating it is to look at the tabloids and see this preggo now 20# lighter than before having her baby, but reality is those celebs pay out big $$$$ for trainers and chefs…

Not only have I had cheesecake for breakfast but really is there much difference between a chocolate muffin and chocolate cake, well the frosting. Seriously, who hasn't had a "muffin" for breakfast, of which those things are sometimes loaded with more crap than a piece of cake. It's not like this happens everyday and if it…

I thought about switching to something else for my coffee, but I too can't get rid of my French Vanilla Creamer. Portion control is what I had to get under control with the creamer. I also limit myself to one cup of coffee a day. Hard to do in the begining, but I still get my Yummy Yummy coffee everyday. Good luck in…

Grilled fruit. My kids love pineapple, apples, and watermelon. If it doesn't fall apart, throw it on the grill. Have fun!

You are also building muscle and things are moving around a little (in a good way). Your body is shaping as you are working out because of he muscle you are building. Everyone is different and our bodies do not react the same as the person next to us. Our bodies also don't react the same as we get older. You're making…

I don't like any of them, but I too had to choose between the evils and the lesser for me was Almond. There are many brands out there so it may come down to personal taste preference. For me, my choice was Silk PureAlmond (Original). It tastes better when I put it in the freezer for a few minutes.

I usually have 100-300 calories leftover at the end of the day that I leave open for dessert. If I feel like being good I'll eat a frozen fruit bar/skinny cow/Swiss Miss 100 cal fudge bar BUT if I want to splurge a little I have a cookie or two. In the begining I had a hard time with the whole dessert thing, but there are…

I don't have remorse any more since I started what I call the "burger burn". I calculate the calories I burn during my workouts and when I reach 2,000 I enjoy whatever "outside" food I want. I usually only choose one meal for the day to do this with. This gives me something to look forward to and with our children it lets…

I've been told that a 1200 calorie diet is not enough because of the metabolism isn't getting enough to get kicked in the butt to be motivated and that 1300 calorie diet is more preferable.

I was doing Insanity (sprained ankle yesterday) and I would only weigh myself on my fit test days every 2-3 weeks. I don't think once a month is too little. If you are content with that, then that is right for you. I tried weighing myself everyday, but because I also run and bicycle I have gained muscle (which weighs more…

Finished my recovery week on Saturday, sprained my ankle on Sunday, now it's Monday and I can't do my workout. I'm in for June 1st if you still have a spot.

It is unfortunate you got ragged on for a simple solution on how to up your calories for your day. I commend you on recognizing you needed to up them. Shakes are a good place to start because you can adjust your shakes to meet your caloric needs for the day. My shakes range from 155 calories to over 350 calories. If you…

You will find your body making more adjustments over the next few weeks still. In all, it took my body about four weeks to adjust to the program I am on. I like MFP because it helps me to be accountable for EVERYTHING I eat/drink. Depending on the types of foods and the amounts you take in will depend on how full you may…

If you don't have the time to bake anything or are just too tired, Swiss Miss has chocoate fudge bars that are yummier and smoother than the regular fudge bars & only 100 calories to boot. My kids (all 5 of them) preer the Swiss Miss over the other fudge bars too. I too like the Skinny Cow (usually 150 cals each) stuff too…

You have a trick question here. I count calories on everything and I have brought my smoothie calorie count from 350 (1st one I made) to 155. Here is my recipe: 4 oz of Almond Milk (I use the Pure Silk Almond Milk that is 60 calories for 8 oz), 1/2 cup of mixed fruit (I use frozen and the calorie count is 70 per 1 cup so I…
