I'm in as well! I fell off the bandwagon and gained back 7 of the 30 I have lost. I am looking at it as the new start point, so I am at 0 pounds lost at the moment and starting fresh!

You are both right, and both wrong. It depends on the make-up of your body, your gender, your age, and your needs. A nutritionist and your doctor are the best ones to talk to, but most do support the taking of vitamins. Being a woman, it is often encouraged to me to take Calcium, Fish Oil, and a multi-vitamin by my doctors…

Wow, it is amazing how so many people in our educated first world today are so ignorant (not stupid, ignorant) and uneducated about health related topics. I understand how easy it is to get a misconception about the cause of cancer and other illnesses but in all honesty, nothing truly causes and prevents cancer or most…

Ever wonder why people get mad when something wonderful happens for you and you allow yourself to be happy? How about when you are crazy in love and there is always that person that has to make some horrible comment about how it won't last, they will cheat, blah, blah, blah? These people are usually the ones that blame…

Plain non-fat greek yogurt is an EXCELLENT sour cream replacement. It also adds some zest. A lot of people go for broccoli, but grilled or baked zucchini and crookneck squash go well too! Cauliflower is great and veggie bacon crumbles up very nicely. low fat baked beans are a nice additive as well and a little goes a long…

I will have to use that! It sounds really yummy!:wink:

You could also try a lavash bread (50 cal for 6x6 serving). To get it crispy just place all the ingrediants in the bread, roll it up, and place it in the oven for a few minutes around 350 degrees. This would also give the added benefit of making the cheese all nice and gooey. Course you could also do it quesedilla style in…

On the squash chips, slice very thin (recommend a mandoline here) or they won't crisp up (but will still be delish!) I'll have to try the Kale chips! That sounds very yummy!

I do something similar to that only I use either green or almost ripe tomatoes (depending on mood and what I have) and mix panko bread crumbs, low fat grated parmesan cheese, any mix of seasonings depending on taste of the evening (asian, french, italian, creole (use some crab boil seasoning! OMG!) lightly spray a cookie…

Severe fatigue like you are describing is not normal. Make an appointment and go talk to your doctor about this. You could have a problem with a number of things that could cause this like thyroid problem, blood sugar, etc. Only a doctor could know but it is something to get checked out.

From the look of your picture alone, you are insanely gorgeous and have the hair, body, clothes, and features most of these women would kill for. By that alone and reading some of these comments, I can see how your success and beauty has reflected back on them and they have posted some rude, inconsiderate, nasty,…

1. A lot of people sat chicken is healthy but that really depends on where you get the chicken from. Mass fed chicken made to be butcher ready in 40 days contains 10 times the amount of fat than an organic chicken fed a natural diet without any antibiotics or fat. 2. You do not need to eat meat at every meal, and in fact…

I'm military and I am just coming to grips with even having this but for me, the best part of losing weight is feeling able to start dealing with my anxiety disorder and PTSD symptoms from being deployed. To be able to feel like I don't have to be ashamed and hide from my husband. To feel like I can talk and that I have a…

I do weigh myself at the same time everyday, right before I start my cardio and I only record when the weight goes down. If it doesn't move or jumps up a few ounces a little, it motivates me to work harder, and when I get to log that I lost some weight, it reminds me that my hard work is paying off and is totally worth it!…

You can friend me too! I'm full of support! I need it too! We all do!

I just cut 6 inches off my hair not too long ago to get it above my butt. I intake a lot of calcium and i think it has an effect on my hair. I buy my conditioner in bulk because anything else is expensive. I try to stick with Pantene or sulfate free stuff. Hot oil treatments are good too.

I've been sticking with Truvia and Stevia since it's natural and no calorie. figured if its a plant, it's probably better than something concocted in a lab. If you want a good soda substitute, try Naturally Flavored Sparkling waters. Some are made with juice and contain 2 calories a serving or less! I like Cascade Ice or…

A couple low carb substitutes for bread and pasta: 1. Joseph's Lavash Bread (50 cal a serving, and it's not tiny!). They also make pita bread and it is yummy. 2.Tofu Shiritaki Noodle substitute. I like the fettuccine shape the best cause the noodles don't tangle up. Just be sure to rinse very well and don't worry about the…

In order to understand more why you have plateaued, I would need to see your food intake and what you are eating. Personally that whole thing about the body "not wanting" to lose is bull to me. If this was true, prisoners of war and others starved to a point of bones sticking out would look the same the day they were…

1. Sparkling water is awesome. Flavored sparkling water has vitamins. Drink this when you want soda, eventually it will be your healthy go to. I like the brands Talking Rain and Cascade Ice, but I am in a small area so you might have access to better! 2. WEIGH AND EVERYTHING!!!! VEGGIES, MEAT, EVERYTHING!!!!!!! 3. Don't…

Go back and ask the chef if he can either tell you what the measurements for the ingrediants are for about an oz. of pasta is or if he can add up the calorie count for you(he is a chef, they know how to do that.) and you should be able to calculate it from there. Also, most pasta is made the same, since he is using whole…

I go for the non-fat hot dogs (45 calories a dog) and Joseph's pita bread for the bun (45 calories a pita). Instead of relish I usually dice and mash a pickle to smitherings and I always skip the ketchup cause that is usually 20 calories a teaspoon. 90 calories for a hot dog on a "bun" is pretty good and mustard doesn't…

Are you eating the same calories and doing the same exercise regimen? If so, increase your calories by 400 to 500 (obviously still eat healthy though) for one week only and then cut again. Also, amp up your cardio and change your exercise regimen a bit. You may gain a pound or so from the week of upping calories,but if…

5'0 and I would like to be somewhere in the 100-115 pound range. I know it's broad but that is due to the fact I weight lift every day now and since muscle weighs a lot more than fat and it is never that healthy to gage your weight loss by weight alone, I am planning on stopping when I like the way I look in the mirror,…

Those who would give up freedom for safety deserve neither. It negates the point of me and all my brothers and sisters in arms serving to defend those rights most of civilians take for granted. If your child is being bullied and don't tell you, maybe you need to be asking yourself why your child feels they can't talk to…

A long time ago when I was in high school, we had locker pits and bench railing that encompassed the pits. You weren't allowed to walk on them. I stopped, sat down, and pulled my foot up to TIE MY SHOE. The assistant principal called me in to his office and gave him detention, to which my reply was "Well you will be…

HI! I am! I currently have several varieties of tomatoes: large, small, and heirloom; several varieties of peppers: mild, hot, scotch bonnets and habenaros, the normal zuccinni, squash, canteloupe, cucumber, celery, and for my herbs I have shallots, mint, flat parsley, oregano, two kinds of thyme, basil, curry, cat mint…

Option 1: 1 hard boiled egg (70 Cal) plus one wedge light laughing cow cheese of choice, I like french onion (35 cal) mashed together and spread on 1 toasted thin bagel (110 cal) served open face Option 2: 1 hard boiled egg (70 Cal) lightly salted with sea salt and 1 toasted thin bagel (110 cal)spread with laughing cow…
