What is Shakeology?

Thank you for all of your words of encouragement! t helps a lot! I'm going to try to focus on myself and compare myself only to myself... and if she gains a lot of weight and has health problems when she gets older then maybe she will understand

I rarely eat sweets, but i still go over my sugar everyday just from eating fresh fruit and fat free plain unsweetened yogurt, so I either have to stop eating any amount of fruit, or be ok with going over my sugar... I think it's fine to go over the sugar limit as long as your getting it from fruit and yogurt and stuff…

go ahead and eat your chocolate, just don't eat the whole bar/bag. 1 serving! But don't deprive yourself you deserve a treat especially during your lady week.

Thank you everyone! I'll just keep doing strength traning and cardio and not worry too much about the calories burned! :D

If you eat your exercise calories you won't have a calorie deficit and you will stay the same weight. I know there have been heated debates about this in the past but you should never eat the calories you burn exercising, and any day you have calories left over after your done eating, don't force yourself to eat them if…

Is the challenge to work up to 200 crunches without stopping in 6 weeks? I'm in

I'm not farmiliar with wii fit, but if it is giving you your weight in kg multiply that number by 2.2 and that will give you lbs. lbs/2.2 = kg kgx2.2=lbs hope that helps!

I was told by my gynocologist that these law suits are just a scam... you contact them and pay the initial fee to and then they dissapear and never help you... I've been taking yaz for almost 3 years and I've never had any problems with it. I know that all birth controls heighten risks of blood clots --> to stroke, but…

They are high in fat, but you know how you always hear that you need more omega-3 fatty acids? Fish is always advertised to have a lot of omega 3 fatty acids, and it does, but it isn't the only source. Almonds are also a good source of these healthy fats. Almonds are also a wonderful snack for other reasons; lots of…

Because cups are a measure of volume and ounces are a measure of weight, 2 oz of food isn't always going to be the same volume. Think about it this way: 1 cup of feathers will weigh less than one cup of pocket change... Obviously you shouldn't eat these things... just and example

do pullovers with a dumbell (triceps) and curl ups for your biceps

I don't eat my exercise calories either. If I do I get too full and you should never eat when your not hungry.

The fact that you are frustrated shows that you care enough to keep your self motivated!! Keep at it!! and try not to get impatient I know it's hard. Just remember you didn't gain this unwanted weight over night, so it'll take some time and hard work to get it off. Remember that you will be so happy WHEN you reach your…

I'm pretty sure that's just for the canned jello stuff. If you use fresh cranberries and keep it pretty tart it's just like eating fresh/stewed cranberries

When I'm having craving problems I ask myself "Is that going to taste as good and being thin feels?" and "Do I love (thing i want to eat) more than I love myself?" I know it seems cheesesy, but it works for me. Maybe it'll help you. Good Luck!!

Use brown or wild rice instead of while rice. It is a lot higher in fiber and nutrients/vitamins. They take some getting used to but much better in the long run! Gook Luck!!

I always think to myself will that taste as good as being thin feels? I don't know about you but for me the answer is ALWAYS no! Late nights when I'm feeling snacky I make myself a cup of tea. Usually celestial seasonings one of the fruity ones. No sugar or honey just tea (non-caffeinated) so no calories and the hot…

I know you probably feel full because of all of the veggies, and it's a lot of good fiber, but no matter what you should never go below 1200 calories a day. Your body will go into starvation mode and start using the glucose in you blood/other places in you body for energy 1st and then start getting energy from you muscles…

I agree, you started out really strong and probably burned yourself out. It is really important to give your body that day of rest to regenerate worn out muscles. I always take Sundays off. It gives me that resting time and the little bit of extra energy it takes to keep going the next week. Your doing great! Keep it up!

Fish is great for you especially Alaskan salmon because of the omega 3 fatty acids. The best fish to eat is fish you catch yourself then you know exactly how it has been treated! Stay away from farmed fish and canned fish!! store bought stuff from the meat counter should be fine. enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I wasn't sure about acai and I was thinking it sounded kind of sketchy. It just helps to hear it from other people. Thanks for the motivation and support! :happy:
