"Toma"- by Pusifer if I'm in a funk I play this and it gets me ready to fight.

I assume they are sore from strength workouts. Light cardio can help getting blood flow to the muscles. It may me suck getting started but just walk. If I run, it breaks up the soreness before the 1st mile is done. Once you have warmed up you can add in some targeting stretches. Also can try hot Epsom salt bath soaks.

I never bought the 0 calorie style noodles myself. The true thing is made from the root of a plant that originates in China I think. An interesting read. I'm a little cheaper and just julienne peel a zucchini. My mandolin slicer can make thicker cuts too(I often manage to get my hands a good bloody mess unfortunately).…

On sore days it helps to do light cardio to get blood flowing to the muscles. A brisk walk to a run can be very helpful. This allows you to warm up enough to get in more stretching, too.

Some people "reverse diet" to get back to maintenance to prevent gain back. It is a longer process. Each week you add back about 100 cals to each day monitoring your weight each week until weight stabilizes. You may still lose a few pounds until you find the sweet spot. The issue is it could take awhile. You could maybe…

Ugh, I feel for you. It is a constant struggle for me. When I was less active 1200 was easy peasy. Now I am a lot more active but struggle keeping at 1500 or so depending on my activity. It has become a mental game. "I have enough to have one cookie, awesome!" 5 or so cookies later I'm not any happier. I think I've…

Eek right over Halloween! Good luck to you both!

Ugh, I've learned the hard way not do sit ups without the ab mat. I scoot too much in my speed sit ups. My husband had a good laugh.

As of late I've been skipping breakfast altogether. I bunch all of my calories into a small eating window. I have less many small meals and more like two nice sized ones. Its quick and protein rich but you will have to use a few more than1-2 eggs. When I did eat these I made a english muffin sandwich with a tbsp of salsa…

Scrambled eggs in a mug. Super quick. Grease the inside of a coffee mug. Crack an egg or two and add maybe 1 tsp water. Scramble with fork. Microwave for 40 sec. Scramble again and nuke again until cooked. Sometimes I'll add veggies. If you have the time, veggie omelet.

Workouts can stimulate your hunger. Its the body's way to repair and build. Its difficult. My hunger gets worse the day AFTER a hard workout so if its a rest day I eat in surplus that day. I've been trying to train my hunger by eating more on those days.

I'm mad to know GNC had them the day of. I'm still waiting for my box in the mail. It better be there when I get HOME!

I will note I didn't add pumpkin spices but it works, too. Puree just diluted the PB so it wasn't all the calories just to spread on toast.

I've added pumpkin puree to peanut butter to lighten it up. On toast it wasn't bad because the texture is hidden. Depending on how much you add its not bad. I've done it with apple sauce and mushed bananas, too. Pumpkin is great to use as a filler just like any summer squash.

From my understanding you should get Ketostick to test your ketone levels in your urine. Because everyone is different your carb tolerance may allow you more or less wiggle room. If you don't hit your ideal numbers lower your carbs and/or protein. If you are great add a few carbs and see how that pans out. I'm too nervous…

Pumpkin spice brats I think I read for up here in WI. Don't ask me, I don't get brats.

$100/month, go 4-6 days a week. I like the community and don't mind the cost feeling apart of something.

I don't worry about your son. I am somewhat worried about your friends daughter though. No one loves running on a treadmill that much. Outside running sure, it can be some people's zen but treadmill? Eating normal is subjective and not 24/7 monitored. Not saying this is the case for her but eating can be a guilt and so she…

Mad house

The "complete diary" aspect is a guide for estimates but by no means needs to be done. Instead just brush your teeth. You'll get that feeling of "I'm done for the day" and less cavities! Go with your hunger but don't consistently go too low otherwise when you are hungry your body will be more efficient with those calories.

Hahaha, oh the arctic enema! How I loathe thee! Last year I hated it. This year it wasn't so bad. Our run was high of 62 degrees F so it wasn't too much of an adjustment. Congrats and welcome to the legion!

I'm just gonna say that I work out 6-7 days a week (intensely) but don't wash my hair more than every other day somethings longer. Put a cap on it and add a little hair drying in low heat. If you get oily hair find a dry shampoo product that works for you. Yeah, you may be thinking "Oh, you probably don't have to worry…

I bought a box of the PP quest bar because GNC said they didn't know when they would get them and they only sell in boxes. Now to wait patiently!

Another vote for Poptarts. Oh man I would start nibbling the edges and then slide the pieces apart, eat the pastry side first and then the frosted. I would be so impatient I would microwave them instead of toasting. -Ranch or other bottled dressings on my salads, (ok to dip an edge of a sandwich in from time to time.)…

I did less than 25g for two weeks, fruits and added included. It was tough but man did my skin clear up. It really should go back to that but maintaining that indefinitely is a struggle. You can watch your sugar but for MFP to calculate it you will need to pull out the fruits and naturally sweetened foods like John…

We kids made my mom an email account. imshort@yahoo.com is what she got (minus the details). I've been trying to get my mom to get on to myfitnesspal for years. She keeps saying she'll join back up to WW but will wait until they have a deal. Honestly, it frustrates me because she is making every excuse to avoid taking care…

Serotonin is created in the gut so it is plausible that eating sugary foods changed the gut flora lowering your body's production of serotonin. I guess your gut community can change within 3 days of diet change. Good luck getting back on the horse!

How is your posture? Poor posture makes anyone look like they have a pouch. Mirror check and stop duck butting it.
