Bike is great, but maybe you increased to quickly. For inexpensive ways to do more, when you empty plastic type bottle, maybe milk jugs or to start out with smaller bottles you can grasp with your hands. Fill them with water for weights. Holding the bottles, and arms at your sides,rise your arms to shoulder height (keeping…

I originally set mine by using MFP. I have lowered mine from the original amount by using MFP when I record my weight. For the last few months I did not adjusted my calories automatically when recording my weight. I have recently discussed this with a dietitian. My question was that since I have lost more weight and…

Sounds like a lot of fun, don't forget the sunscreen! I am with you, I dont do / use a "free days". I have days when I eat things out side of "my normal" but I consider the calories and make choices that fit into my calorie count for the day. Have a wonderful time!

Cravings and hungry are two different issues. If you are hungry eat protein. I keep turkey lunch meat in the fridge, sometimes I just need a quick little something to get me through that "I want something". I find that the protein will satisfy my hunger. If you are craving something, don't give in right away, I try and put…

I experienced the same thing last month. Weight only went down 3.5 lbs but fat mass reduced by 8 lbs. So things were defiantly changing on the inside but not being reflected on the scale. You probably have increased your muscle, so give it awhile for the scale to move. I weigh in tomorrow, hopefully the scale will move…

The first time I heard the term Onederland was on The Biggest Loser and also thought they meant wonderland, then I finally got it. I think of it as being 199 lbs or under. I guess onederland can have multiple meanings. When I lose 100 lbs I will still have a distance to go until I hit the 199 lb Onederland. I am setting my…

I found them at a local heath food store. I was so excited to try them and did. I finshed them but must admit I the texture thing is not for me. I fried / cooked them for a long time. There was little or no taste to the noodle which was great but it was squishy, I felt like I was eating octopus. Now saying that I have…

I try and log everything. The log is only for me, and my friends because I have shared it. If you dont log it you are not accomplishing anything, you are basiclly lyning to yourself and you already know that you eat those things? Maybe if you log it it will help detour you from binging because you have to admit to yourself…

I mix bean sprouts (canned, drain and rinse) in with spagetti, that way I get the taste of pasta but get more volume with less carbs and calories!
