One of the other things you have to watch when you do low carb is fiber intake! I find that when I cut out whole grain breads, etc. I have trouble meeting my daily fiber intake from just veggies. This is why I am only doing LC for 3 months to kick start my plan, and then I will slowly incorporate complex carbs back in to…

Try Soma. They have stores, usually next to Chicos stores. They have some nice bras for up to 40DD.

Dang, girl, look at those MUSCLES!!!! You look fantastic!

I was in the same place. Even when I though I was eating "right", I was still consuming way too many calories. This site has made all the difference! I also eat every 3-4 hours (breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner) and can usually stay at or under my calorie goal. Best of luck to you - you will do…

Welcome!!! This site is amazing, and you will receive tons of support and encouragement, as well as great ideas.

It sounds like a veggie gratin! I bet it would be good with half-and-half.

This sounds really good! Will have to give it a try.

I love the microbrews too, and like most on here I have drastically cut down my alcohol consumption in the name of weight loss! However, I do have a Grey Goose / Club soda with lime every now and then...65 calories!

Bumpin'!

I didn't even thiink about the syrups, and they probably have sugar free too! Sounds yummy :)

Amen!!! That is my #1 as well. Not only is it incredibly distracting to have kids running around the gym, but then they play on the equipment (which they don't know how to use) and you're so afraid they're going to hurt themselves that you can't concentrate on your own workout! Last week I was doing the super sets my…

That, and their Eye Primer Potion is the best shadow base I have ever used! I like the "Sin" one.

I am ADDICTED to lotions, potions, and all things cosmetic! I LOVE my Diorshow Blackout mascara, Bare Minerals Buxom Lipglosses, Bath & Body Works Twilight Woods and Black Amethyst lotions, Balenciaga perfume, and my Chanel Vendetta nail polish!

Maybe try Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer series. He uses some of the same principals as P90X, but separated into 10 minute sessions. You can stack them together and do 3 or 4 at a time, or just do one - whatever works for you. If you can master that first, then maybe you can tackle P90X!!! Good Luck!

While tea and coffee are mostly water, caffeine is also a diuretic, so you have to drink more water to stay hydrated.

I have a Polar FT too - love it! My gym gave it to me when I signed up for Personal Training, but I think they're around $150.00. Totally worth it, as I know when I am in the my target HR zone.

Another Houstonian here! Live in Kingwood, work in Sugar Land. Just imagine the calories I could burn if I walked it every day!!! :tongue:

Welcome! I would say that from everything I've read, the best way to get the needle moving again is by changing up your exercise. If you have been just walking (cardio), then definitely add some resistence training (weights, bands, etc.). Besides the fact that muscles burn more calories, it also helps slow bone loss, which…

Everyone has a cheat day! I myself just had a cheat weekend :drinker: I meet with my personal trainer every Wednesday and Sunday, and we always review my food diary since our last session. When I told him that I had been "bad" the last couple days, he said next time you have a cheat day, you can get back on track the…

iheartshae - I would think a tiny bit of peppermint extract?

Below is a day from my food diary that totaled 1213 calories (I usually do about 1400-1500). I can only speak from my personal experience, but I used to eat out ALOT, which means processed foods. When I started MFP, I started eating "cleaner" and preparing as much of my own food as possible, but for lunch it's still Lean…

Nike actually has some good basic pieces in 1X - 3X on their website - www.nike.com Also try Nordstrom - www.nordstrom.com - they have Nike and a few other brands too.

ANYTHING with sugar in it (cakes, pies, cokies, muffins, ice cream....you get the idea), Mexican food, and Margaritas!!!!

Metallica. "Fuel" Kanye West, "Stronger" Justin Timberlake, "Sexy Back" Rush, "Tom Sawyer" Finger Eleven, "Paralyzer" Usher, "Yeah" & "OMG" The All-American Rejects, "Move Along" Gorillaz, "Feel Good, Inc." Black Eyed Peas, "Hey Mama" & "Boom Boom Pow" GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I use 1- Peppridge Farm Deli flat (1 bun = 100 calories) to make 2 "mini" pizzas. About a tbsp of sauce on each, 1 slice of canadian bacon on each (35 calories per slice), and 1/8c of 2% shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375 for about 8 min. VERY YUMMY and filling.

Try almond butter too....YUM!!!

Yep, I have also found that I drink more through a straw. Strange, but it works!

Not a big Greek salad fan, but olive oil doesn't scare me. It's a "good" fat, which your body needs, so I just have it in moderation. I would maybe cut it in half so you get the benefits, but only half the calories.

This is an area I have some experience in, as I sold athletic shoes in my past life (a long time ago). Depending on where you live, there are many specialty running stores. I am in TX, where we have Luke's Locker, Fleet Feet, and the New Balance store to name a few. They are really good about measuring feet properly (don't…
