i love quinoa! Its got the most protein out of any grain out there! And it soaks up any flavor you put in it whether you cook it with broth or make it a breakfast item and add raisins and a bit of juice.

I think they are definitely part of a good diet for a variety of reasons: They include extra protein (especially if you are exercising as protein is essential in rebuilding the body), can satisfy a chocolate craving, they help curb hunger, and they are conveinent. Look out for bars that have too much sugar though... I…

Congratulations! You give hope to many people with your story. Thank you for sharing it.

Hi! i'm a saltaholic. I love my buttery salty pop corn or chips and I salt my food too :( Although the sodium tracker has helped me immensly to cut back on sodium. Here is this article I found that may be interesting to you (I've also heard this information from my Nurtrition professor in college) There are several…

I seem to have a bad weekend every weekend :( I do great all during the week with eating clean and working out. But once the weekend comes, I'm on vacation mode. I slack off on exercise and I eat whatever I want (in moderation). Then on Monday i'm right back on track. We can't beat ourselves up, this is a process and we…

I did Bikram's for the first time yesterday and my HRM and it said 822 calories for 1.5 hours.

Thanks for posting this! I like your comment on liking the hard working woman...she is more impressive :love: I need a mental kick in the butt too after 2 months of slacking off :noway: reading these posts reminds me of why I started in the first place!

Thank you all who commented! I need to keep your words on reply in my head! :smile:

I'm the say way, so I feel your frustrations. Try to work out extra to compensate for the extra calories you eat. Instead of heading to the cabines/fridge, try to go for a walk or call a friend for a bike ride. This weekend I went for a run, then swam extra laps in the pool because I knew i would be snacking on pop corn…

Wow thats amazing! I'm going to dust off my wii fit and try some work outs with my HRM on.

Hi! I know that my body gets a good nights rest if I exercised with good intensity that day. :happy:

I've been missing the Breakfast Club for a long time :grumble: :sad: I just have gotten into a staying up late waking up late for work routine that is killing my ambitions to work out early. I got up early and worked out a few times and REALLY liked the feeling I got and the fact that I didn't have to work out in the…

I have been interested in doing this cleanse for a long time, however I am worried that it would be difficult since you do not eat any solids for 3-7 days. Please share your experiences with the master cleanse.

I love Yerba Mate and it's a great pick me up! I can only suggest that to ween yourself off soda, try reading about the harmful effects it has on your body...that is usually a good motivator....I know it was for me. But I agree with others on this post, that weening is an individualized process. Do what works for you and…

I read the MFP posts and look at success stories to keep me busy and motivated! I also check out other fitness sites like shapefit.com.

I don't count unsweetened tea as water consumption because tea has caffeine and is made from tea leaves, H20 is pure. Some people consider tea a diurectic...

I fell off hard this weekend too :grumble: However in my heart I knew not to beat myself up for it because it wasn't a permanent deal. I just have to keep a positive attitude and go through my mental motivation list and think about my great progress so far :smile: Hang in there Jazzy! You're not alone...

I feel you pain as well because I'm in the same boat....:sad: I totally bombed at a office pot luck today....so now I'm considering doing a P90X tape AND play basketall to burn off extra calories :grumble: Just gotta keep going and not let this side track us and use it as a reminder of why we like to eat healthy! So we…

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. I can only lead by example...and hope she catches on.:heart:

Plyo is really tough! I did the P90X dvd yesterday (w/o the bonus round) and burned 700 kcal! It's a love/hate relationship with Plyo now :brokenheart: :heart:

I went to the store yesterday and bought the last package and man was it good!!!! :tongue:
