I never really developed a taste for soda. When I was a kid I only had it when I had a stomach virus, so I associate it with nausea. Along those lines, an occasional soda for a hangover or morning sickness did wonders for me. Since I generally don't like it, I just don't drink it. I drink lots of water, one or two cups of…

It doesn't sound like your happiness is directly related to your weight. Listen to the others, get professional help. Start by talking to a doctor, your parents, a teacher.

Congratulations on being just overweight! I can't wait for that day. :)

I think the OP wants a simple meal-by-meal plan that she can follow and lose weight. i.e. Breakfast: 6 oz fat free Greek yogurt, small banana, 1 slice dry whole grain toast Lunch: 4 oz boiled skinless chicken breast, 4 baby carrots, 1/2 apple etc etc etc And she will drop the lbs and never look back. Problem is, OP, it's…

Do you use the MFP app on your phone? I do, and I love the weekly summary button. It shows a graph of not only how many cals you eat each day, but gives you the weekly average. So when I go a bit over on the weekends (WINE on Saturday nights...kills my cals for the day!), it usually averages out to below my goal anyway. I…

I just gave you a general list the foods you should eat (see above), but it seems like you need something more specific. I googled "healthy meal plans uk" and got this: http://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/articles/healthy-eating-plan-week-one There are lots of other options. Lots. Just register for one of those site and…

Just some general guidelines: Eat lots of lean protein (chicken, fish, beef, pork) baked or grilled or broiled with just a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs and spices to taste. Eggs are high in protein but also high in fat, so don't go nuts. Lots of fresh vegetables...raw salads or steamed or sauteed or roasted or…

I can understand where the OP is coming from. It would be nice if we could all have our "treats" in moderation, but it takes some people longer to get there. He needed a symbolic purge to take a new direction in his life. I understand that. I've had a totally f*cked up relationship with food for 30 years. Until a couple of…

My husband loves my cooking, healthy or not. Problem is when dinner's over he starts grazing in the kitchen. I've gotten rid of 99% of unhealthy stuff in the house, but he finds ways. i.e. the other night I sauteed some chicken breasts & vegs in olive oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce. After dinner he took some sandwich…

You're right! I don't usually go for "diet " type treats, but I was a sucker for the picture on the box. Thanks everyone, you cheered me up and I just had a healthy low cal dinner. :bigsmile:

Great advice! I've always done cardio before weights -- going to switch it around starting tomorrow.

I'm 47 and 18 months ago I was morbidly obese and couldn't keep up with my kids on family vacations. Now I'm "just" obese, run 5/week and lift 2/week and while I still have 20 lbs to lose before I'm in the "just overweight" category, I feel energetic and strong and soon I'm going to incorporate MORE LIFTING into my…

Stare at it longingly at the grocery store and keep walking.

You're gorgeous!

Early morning because it's the only time of day I have to myself. I usually down half a protein shake right before (a whole one is too much) otherwise I get a little nauseated.

Both for different reasons. Outside: fresh air, more challenging, less boring Treadmill: safe, can listen to music, climate control

Check out The Daily Hiit. Here's a link to their beginner challenge: http://www.dailyhiit.com/content/beginner-challenge. These workouts are short, intense, and hard. I started this summer when my kids were home from school and I couldn't get away to go to the gym. Some were way too hard for me at first but I modified them…

Try Big Oven. It has calories per serving on all the recipes but to get complete nutrition info you have to buy the app for $19.99

Roasting or sautéing with a little salt and olive oil brings out the natural flavor. You could also add herbs -- fresh parsley, basil, rosemary, cilantro, thyme are my favorites. Squeeze on some lemon juice at the end. Yum.

The summer between junior and senior year of high school I ate nothing but pickles and crackers. I was cranky and shaky and nauseated and I even passed out a couple of times, but when the scale reached 90 lbs (I'm 5'3') I thought I had succeeded.

My guess is no. Your connective tissue and bones around your pelvis are all soft and bendy right now -- I wouldn't think that weight bearing exercises like lunges, squats, etc. would be good for them. Definitely run it by your OB, as others have said. I was told that the best exercise for third trimester is swimming, which…

I suppose your'e right. The pat on the head and the hug thing was condescending and set me off. Time to leave the room and get back to work. Apologies. :)
-
LMAO!!!! Sweetie, you've been here since March and you already have over 4000 posts. You seriously need to find something better to do with your time.
-
Because they want to examine your pics and then tell you why you're wrong and then lecture you on weights, body fat %, muscle definition, heavy lifting vs. baby pink dumbbells, and throw in a bunch of sarcastic digs so they can show that they're part of the cool kids' club. Ad nauseam.

Not exact same situation, but I also have young kids (aged 6 and 9) with all sorts of after school activities, plus I manage the house and work 25 hours a week. I used to wait for my husband to come home from work so he could watch the kids and I'd go to the gym. I'd leave dinner prepared for the three of them, go work out…

Guilty...once. And then I got disgusted with myself and stopped coming here for awhile. Now I'm logging every little thing.

I've been jogging/running on and off for many years, and I'm not good at it (i.e. fast, easy gait, hair flowing how you described, etc.), but for some crazy reason I like it. I remember when I first started I couldn't even go a block or two without feeling like I was going to die. Then one day I went running with a friend…

People taking themselves way too seriously around here....sheesh.... Biologically impossible. Got it. She's just a freak whose right bicep is bigger than her left. I don't know why, guess I never will. But I now know that it couldn't be because of her Walkman, like she said it was. It's ok. I can live with that. You guys…

Duly chastised. Next time I feel like telling a silly and strange anecdote, I'll be sure to conduct a rigorous physiological study and run it by you and your professional peers for review.
