I thought that Pam is actually 4 calories per 0.5 second spray? So the calories really do add up depending on how much you use. *I believe in the US if an item has 4 calories or less companies can legally say 0 cals. Same with Splenda packs. They say 0 calories but they are actually 4 calories each. In Canada Pam actually…

Oh that's right! Iceberg is delicious in tacos.

No such thing as "bad" carbs...

I put it down to different strokes. For the people that buy the kits there is a value for them that makes it worth it. That's great! If it makes their life easier or more exciting or knowledgeable with new techniques to try I say right on. We all deserve things in our life that lighten the load. For me personally, cooking…

My husband likes iceberg but if I buy lettuce I always pick romaine. But I'm really a spinach girl through and through. Caesar salad? Spinach instead of lettuce, don't even care. I put it in everything, eggs, wraps, smoothies... SPINACH! Lol

I don't follow fitness people on social media, I just don't really find them inspirational. I mean, I might do a search on YouTube or through blogs for reviews on tech, like when I was buying my Fitbit. Or maybe for recipe ideas when I want to try something new. The struggle was REAL when it came to perfecting my protein…

My goal weight is 150lb. I absolutely love how I look around 150-160. Last time I was that weight I was running every night. This time though I'll be that weight while weightlifting so I have no clue what I'm going to look like at that weight. Though I'm pretty sure it will be awesome and with even more muscle tone. After…

Great thread! I really want to do Kung Fu.

Meh. I'm solidly in a deficit so I have no need to weigh myself every day. I keep really tight tracking with a decent sized deficit. I already know that I retain a lot of water really easily and a huge amount around that TOM. I feel no need to track that because it will just annoy me. So I weigh at least once a week but…

Kickboxing is so much fun. Eatat a deficit and go kick some butt!

Helloooooo!

Mine are new clothes every time I drop a size. This is really important to me because over the last couple of years pretty much all of my disposable income was put back into business stuff and I just didn't treat myself. I hadn't bought new clothes since like... 2014/2015? Basically since the LAST time I was here trying to…

Thank you! I was about to lose my mind.

Yes you burn calories simply by being alive.

I just got some Under Armour pants that have a pocket in them, though I still have to see if my phone fits and if my headphone cord is long enough. Up until now though I have been placing my phone between my regular bra and my sports bra right at the front.

It is. If I'm going to do alfredo sauce from scratch it's going to be done with regular flour pasta and on a day where I'm eating at maintenance for some reason because it's not something I will ever compromise the recipe on. The sauce from scratch is basically butter, fresh chopped garlic, flour, 2% milk, asiago cheese,…

I love my Zombies, Run! app. I'm going to be SO ready.

Well you can certainly make it from scratch but I only do that on special occasions. I tend to just buy Classico brand alfredo sauce in a jar. It's actually pretty low calorie. So I do alfredo sauce, maybe add some extra garlic and red pepper, some parmasean cheese, 8oz of chicken or pork loin and the noodles.

Yum! I actually had pork curry with shirataki noodles this morning. And now my husband wants Alfredo for dinner so I'll use those for mine. I've yet to use peanut sauce, though that sounds sooooo good. But I've used both Pad Thai and a spicy Thai stir fry sauce. Maybe I'll do peanut sauce for my work meals next week!

This is absolutely correct. The body shapes are based on bust waist hip ratios. Yes an apple shape can lose tons of body fat and maybe get a more defined waist but that doesn't magically make them a categorized hourglass figure. When I am obese I have a 13" difference between bust to waist, and 12" between waist to hip. My…

Volume eating helps with the sensation of having a full stomach. Low calorie high volume foods. Spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, egg whites, squash, etc. Start making recipes that include lots of these things to fill out the meal. You can eat a high volume of foods and pretty much never feel hungry. I'm on about 1,550…

Ha! It's my workaround for *kitten*. Good thing that person doesn't exist.

I put the misinterpretation of "muscle weighs more than fat" in the same annoying pile as when people rage against "you can eat whatever you want as lose weight as long as your in a deficit." NO ONE is saying eat only twinkies to lose all your weight and you will be strong and healthy and have all the vitamins and…

I was really worried about the size, I thought it would look too bulky. The Alta looked so dainty and feminine, but the Charge 2 actually looks GREAT. It's not overpowering at all. Now I have big hands so that might help its great. And you can get some lovely elegant metal replacement bands on Amazon it you want. But no,…

I have days where I struggle. Where I get off a 10 hour graveyard shift and I think to myself, "Do I HAVE to go to the gym? Can't I just go to SLEEP?" And then I try on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear in over a year and they miraculously FIT. So I spend the next 2 hours admiring my butt in the mirror,…

Totally unrelated to OP, but yes you can weigh liquids for certain recipes. I make soap and lotion etc from scratch and for that you HAVE to weigh your liquids for accuracy. So for food I'll measure out a volume amount of milk to drink for accuracy when calorie counting. But if I'm making say, goat milk soap from scratch I…

Dang, I've never seen either of those tortilla brands around here.

I totally get this. I always wanted a 6-pack and my mom would say "you don't have to lose weight, your stomach muscles are just too soft. Do some crunches and you'll be fine." Ha! Now I know that my body fat percentage was way too high for a 6-pack! Targeted abdominal exercises have always shown results for me, more…

Sorry I totally meant my comment to be about the women's mag style use of the word. "Are you wasting your workout by not being in the fat burn zone? Don't let all your hard work go to waste!" Etc etc. Just no. Work out, burn calories + eating proper amount of calories for your weight loss goal -> CICO -> oh look you're…

I honestly also thought she meant "chicken salad" as in a chicken salad sandwich. I'm Canadian. I suppose you could make any kind of salad you want and throw some chicken on it. I'm personally a fan of a BBQ chicken Caesar salad.
