it's true nuts and seeds are high in calories, but also very high in what I like to refer to as "good for yous" like nutrients and GOOD oils/fats. where as peanut M&Ms are hardly nutritional. so where you might feel "discouraged" or frusterated... you've just eaten one of the healthiest snack foods available. GOOD FOR YOU

oatmeal!! LOL it's high in fibre and keeps you full. easy to keep in the desk and just add water! Also I love my boxed soups like knorr Autumn vegetable soup with real cream, and I keep a container of frank's red hot sauce in the wokr fridge... makes a bland soup.. interesting and keeps it low calorie enough to be good for…

yay new favorite set of threads~!! thanks

i went away one weekend (camping) and went crazy, like I ate an entire bag of marshmallows!! (not a big bag, but a regular sized one - still ridiculous amount of empty calories with NO fibre at all) and I gained lie 5 lbs, but luckily for me... i was able to work it off quickly because it was fresh weight I always find the…

and yeah of course fresh fruits and veggies, cut them up or some of them at least when you get home from the store - great snacks :D

my must haves - kashi 7 grain granola bars - dark chocolate cherry - Kashi Go Lean Crunch - 500 mL Boxed soups - great for on the go, and soup bases - great with add ins like fresh veggies. - chicken breasts - cream of mushroom soup concentrate (great for baking chicken breasts in and good for cooking rice with - add 2…

that happened to me a lot before my 3 month plateau. (grrr) i lost 27 lbs in 2.5 months (a lot ... i know) then I ate like 650 calories for a couple weeks (average) I just had NOO appetite!! now i've been plateauing since late april. which im finding frusterating. I obviously killed my metabolism! just be careful :) sounds…

my motto is ... eat what you want but work it off!! :P if you try to cut it all out and be awesome good to start. you're setting yourself up for failure!! you ahve to be wary of the glycemic index, meaning the more sugars and complex carbs your body is used to the more you're going to want to eat so try and lower that…

basically if it's a diuretic then it doesnt count. Even watermelon has water in it, and grapes etc. just try to think about how much those are worth (watermelon is 90% water or something along those lines) so if you eat enough watermelon (it would have to be A LOOOT) then in theory you wouldnt need to drink any water. but…

sugar snap peas are a great source of insoluable fibre (low calorie - high fibre) and beans, lentils, whole grained foods are great soluable fibres (high calorie - high fibre) Kashi Go Lean Crunch is my favorite!! it's sweet, crunchy and high in fibres and protein!! Also milled Flax Seed is great to add into pretty much…

yes it's digital and accurate to 0.2 lbs, which I really like because you can see a difference faster :P hehe

how many calories are you eating on a daily basis? if you arent eating 80 x your weight in calories.... your body will go into starvation mode and lower your metabolism daily. so if you killed your metabolism, then turn around and eat a bag of marshmallows for example, pretty much all of those calories will turn to fat.…

im pretty sure kidney beans are high in iron... AND protein... but be careful they'r ehigh in calories too... but high in all sorts of awesome... buy them raw (suuuupre cheep) and rinse them off (dirty like potatoes) and just cook similar to rice :) keep an eye and add water as they absorb it (usually takes ~ 3 cups of…

anything partially hydrogenated like... margarine - 99% same makeup as PLASTIC. use real butter. watch out for that partially hydrogenated. SILK has come out with a pretty good coffee creamer that I LOVE it's nice with a bit of a nutty flavor and is 1/2 the calories of regular creamo, and doesnt have any of the partially…

sounds liek something is off!! (likely the wii) I would suggest getting a proper scale :) i got the "health-o-meter" for breastcancer awareness at WalMart for 15 dollars. and it's pretty good, i can jump on it over and over and it gives accurate readings - and what a price !!

well based on my BMI im 10 lbs overweight.... and ppl tell me I look great. sooooooo I dont know like pcbta says, everyone's different and if you think you look good, then you likely do. get fit for the strength and agility.... your body knows whats best for it. if you arent feeling energetic, it's likely that you're not…

wow good for you that's AMAZING work!! in less than a year!! i bet you feel like a million dollars by now!!it's always the best feeling to be buying clothes smaller than you normally would!! now I just have to get off this plateau im having and meet you up there at 50+

yes set up an appointment with a personal trainer, a lot of gyms offer services or have contact information. you can also check online for trainers in your area. They can personalize routines for you and are great for consulting alternatives if you find some movements difficult or painful.

it's all about the % of weight lost to the amount needed to be lost to be within your BMI. if you're 300lbs over your BMI (just for example) 25 lbs wont be noticeable, however on the other hand if you only need to lose 50 lbs, and you lose 40 people will notice. 25 lbs is a great milestone! and you should be proud of…

I always find the best thing to do is just get there... then the rest is easy to convince yourself you want to do always make sure you're hydrated, and are taking good vitamins if you aren't eating a lot of natural foods like fruits and veggies. if you're eating enough of those, you shouldn't need multi-vitamins. I went to…

i get the 25.00 runners at walmart, they don't last for more than a couple months of good usage, but they're cheep and if you put them on right (don't slide feet in - it ruins the heal on them) then you should be fine for blisters... I always get blisters where you're mentioning them when i buy name brand shoes... which I…
