in an effort to boost my protein intake, this morning i revamped my breakfast smoothie by just adding some protein powder. it filled me up SOOO much that i had to motivate myself to eat lunch 4 hrs later! so apparently protein really is the best filler. i'm betting any meal you can make that is high in protein will make…

this is almost my exact same story. i started in january and lost 7 lbs by Feb 1 and wanted to lose 10 by March 1 and i'm SOOO discouraged b/c it is March 1 and i'm 3 lbs away. So same deal. i didn't hit a wall, but i kept gaining & losing the same 5lbs over and over again. i too weigh everyday and when i don't weigh i…

elliptical is soooo much easier than the treadmill. i can go on a treadmill @ 6.0 speed or higher for 30+ minutes and work up a good sweat but feel fine. i can even increase the resistance and maintain a speed no lower than 5.0 just dandy. the treadmill, however..... i'm lucky if i can knock out 3-5 continuous minutes of…

i unintentionally started this. ate/drank way too much on monday/tuesday so i restricted weds/thurs to make up for it. and those two days i dropped the weight fluctuation i'd gained and then some. what a great motivator it was to see that scale go down. of course i'm eating again today. i think i'll start doing this every…

my go to equation for healthy pasta is: in a pot cook any whole grain/vegetable based pasta in skillet cook up & season (w/ your fav herbs) some veggies (bell peppers, tomatos, onion, mushrooms, spinach, whatever you like i guess) in EVOO & garlic then combined the two. toss w/ some EVOO and parm (or if you want some gooey…

i'm gonna bump. really want to see what people say to this. (i try some HIIT and like it for my cardio)

i used to work at a gym for years. it was when i was in between being 19-21 and i was super fit but really shy abt working out in public. our office had two way mirrors where all the meat head jerks i worked with would sit and watch women working on cardio equipment. most of what they commented on was derrogatory and the…

once a day. first thing in the morning before i've even had a sip of water. it's probably way too often but it helps me see how the previous day of eating influences me.

bump. i want to try some of these low cal options!

hiya & welcome. i'm from IN too! it's hard being healthy here where there is more fast food concentrated areas than most other places in the country ( i read that on msn once ). i find it's all about getting into the habit of logging and in doing so you become more conscientious about the decisions you make for food and…

living a busy and complicated lifestyle can really make it difficult to eat healthy. eating healthy takes alot of planning and it's hard to do that on the fly when you have to make a snap decision for what to feed everyone quick. i know it's been hard for me the last few years w/ having hardly any downtime to really cook…

way to go on a full week and a half of logging. it's all about getting in the habit or it all. feel free to add me. i'm trying to not just log everyday, but be active on here everyday. there's no such thing as too much support!

great post, and so true. i'm all about my tea as well. most of mine are zero cal though. i use truvia instead of sugar (so it's still zero cal) and then IF i wish for cream, i put a little bit of light soy milk. keep up the great work!
-
mine is open to friends, feel free to add me. Disclaimer: my cal totals bounce around alot, i eat strange things (trying for mostly veggie/vegan but randomly i have an evil fat kid day or two), and am usually low so that i have wiggle room to add alcohol. that being said, i've only been going solid for abt a month and it…

YES! i'll give it a shot.

you're not that far from a healthy weight range for your height. i'm 5'3 too. i know how the smallest increase feels like so much on our short frames. but you can do it! just keep motivated and don't be too hard on yourself. remember you're trying to make a permanent change. so it may take some effort and time, but if you…

i totally agree! i've been eating mostly vegan for 4 weeks now (sometimes, when i'm out to eat, i can't escape having something w/ cheese or butter and i indulge in meat on special circumstances). Now that i don't eat all that meat and dairy i realize that i feel so much better. also, it is alot easier to stay under…

i have before in my past w/ great results. now i'm trying again and it is SLOWLY coming off. but mine is more b/c i can't seem to eat all that many calories WITHOUT including alcohol, crap food, or prepacked sodium heavy meals. i've been trying out vegan for almost a month now and it's so very difficult for me to up my…

Way to go last night! i have soo much trouble motivating after work to workout. i'd do it in the morning but i'm sooo NOT a morning person. i work only 1-2 hrs less than you do and have to also cook dinner for two in the evenings (usually another 30-60min of night time taken up). i just drank a good sized bold roast from…
