I took the GNC brand for a while, a good month and a half. Personally I didn't see much of a difference but my bf did start commenting my tummy was getting a lot tighter (he had no idea I was taking them)....it DID, however, make me break out on my face! Within the first week of taking them, I felt like I was 15…

My resting heart rate is 95-100. Just from walking around my apartment I get into the 120s. Its fine as long as your doctor checks it out. My EKGs have always come back fine, so has my thyroid function. I have had heart murmurs as a kid and had what was describes as "weakened heart muscle" as a teenager. Other than that,…

Oooo GREAT JOB. My bf & I are sushi fanatics. We may need to learn to make it at home....just last night we went out for a sushi dinner....85 dollars....and thats usually the average price for us. Its expensive....either way you did an amazing job!

Switch up the tuna with salmon (tilapia, cod, any other fish) once in a while. I get mine from costco....6oz packs in 37 grams of protein! Eggs...also awesome. Def a great b-fast, snack once or twice a week; 2 eggs ~ 12 grams of protein. Cheese also...an ounce of sharp cheddar will run 110 cals & 7g of protein. Quaker's…

Cheese (you can do reduced fat), cottage cheese & greek yogurt are my favorite ways besodes eating fish and using protein powder (I dont eat meat) to add the extra protein

I personally dont do it but my co worked does. She likes the vanilla powder I think. She ALWAYS puts a banana in with the milk & powder mix & the herbalife protein powder too...she says it gives it a thicker and creamier texture. She's always SUPER full after those! Good luck, she's had GREAT results

My "ideal" weight range is 125-165...I've been above that & below that. Personally I FEEL most comfortable & look best towards the lower end. 130ish is best for me...still have all the assets, curves but fit.

Sounds AMAZING. I'll be trying it soon! Thanks for sharing.

BUMPPP

Nope, but now I'm curious. I'll have to look into it.

TY Kathleen, Bruce & azdak. Crafty; I had a heart murmur through out my childhood....which seemed to 'disappear' as I I hit my teenage years. Never have I been diagnosed with an arrythmia

Gary, CONGRATS on the 74 lb loss (via ticker)! You WILL reach your goal! You're here on MFP, you're doing it! :happy:

Why not :happy: Here are my stats Age: 23 Sex: Female Weight: 135 Height: 5'8 Body fat: 20.6 (Navy method) Daily Calories: Usually eat around 1300. I eat about 50% of my exercise calories back....mostly because I am hungrier. I do not, however, go out of my way to eat them back. GOAL BF: 18%

I'm in a slightly similar boat as you...and have been once before... I was in a long term relationship with a 6'2" ~ 270lb. "teddy bear." He ate crap...loved going out to eat...loved having me over for dinner with his family...loved cooking for me etc etc. By the end of our three years I packed on about 20 lbs. There were…

I'm probably about 450 per month. Feeding two. I make 95% of my meals, I pack my bf's lunch for work and we eat dinner at home. But he does his dunkin donuts run every morning. If I count his DD morning trips...we're closer to 500-550 a month (yes he spend almost 5 bucks a day, five days a week on donuts and coffee lol).…

Quinoa tends to pick up the taste of whatever you cook it with. I actually really like it but will still pick barley over it. The texture is pretty great and it punches in a nice amount of protein, so it's an easy go to when you want to replace a grain in your meal (like rice or pasta). My favorite thing was letting it…

BUMP

http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml C25K breakdown. GOOD LUCK :)

I work two over nights a week and two 12 hr shifts during the week plus some volunteer work so my schedule is messed up as well. I solved my food logging problem by renaming my 'meals' to time slots. I have 7am-11am, 11am-3pm, 3pm-7pm, 7pm-11pm, 11pm-3am and 3am-7am.

Try clicking around on Amazon. I found my sportline for $40.

Amazing AMAZING transformation....and an even more amazing journey you've taken. Self-discovery! Congratulations and enjoy the life YOU have created and molded for yourself.

:laugh: Ditto

I'd split a Domino's or Pizza Hut pie with my boyfriend....then we'd split a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Once with a co-worker we ordered in during a late night shift....fried shrimp, french fries and a side of mac & cheese and a biscuit. I use to love cheese sandwiches on challah (3-4 THICK slices of cheese and some…

wow I have an INCREDIBLE weakness for cheesecake...especially cheesecake factory cheesecake. This is gonna be an awesome substitution! THANK YOU

:laugh: Well at least he's got 'stamina' in one area of his life! But seriously, when you go to the gym...you do it for yourself. Obviously that dingbat was there to show off. Brush him off and keep charging at the C25K!

I would LOVE to try this to spike my metabolism back up. Just so I have something to work off...What is your maintenance net inake? I'm guessing abut 1800?

It's based on a three week rotation. The first set of numbers for each weekday is set to Extreme Fat Loss net calories. The second set for each weekday is set for 'regular' weight loss and the last set of numbers for each weekday is set a zig-zag for maintaining weight.

I'm right there with you. I've been recovering for a while and I still weigh myself every morning after waking up...unless I am not spending the night in my own apartment. My boyfriend and I are planning on moving in together this year...he know my history but not that I STILL weight myself daily. I'm nervous that he will…

Quaker High Fiber oatmeal or the Quaker Weight Control (both good in protein & fiber) with a greek yogurt for extra protein. i let the oatmeal cool a bit and then mix in the yogurt! VERY filling

Doctor's Carbrite. Some GNC stores carry them, or you can get them online. Between 0-2 net impact carbs. High protein, very filling, good flavors!
