Should be a part of everyones regular cleanse. It's the most effective at removing toxins. Fact.

Just throwing this out there, I may be wrong or may be right - honestly, it doesn't really matter to me, but it might be helpful for you to consider. I looked at your past diary entries, and also at some of your past posts. Your current and past posts indicate that you're very 'controlling with your calories' and are…

I second this ^^ - a lot of great information here. It's normal for people to drop a lot of weight when they begin, and then even out as they progress - so don't let it discourage you!! For the person who said 'starvation mode' is a real thing, I disagree, and there's a lot of good science that has debunked this myth. Your…

Ditto^^^^ . And another vote for incorporating strength training if you want to build muscle.

I'm going to reiterate this ^^^^^^^^^

::Claps:: Can we be best friends in real life?!

I've been on here for a while, but haven't taking it very seriously the past couple months. Looking forward to getting back on track and feeling healthier too! You and your GF feel free to add me, I can use all the help I can get as well! Cheers!!

Count me in as well! Yay 2014! Anyone else feel free to add me as well :) Can use all the help I can get, lol!

I'm going to disagree with folks telling you to push through the pain. Your body is trying to tell you that something is too weak to do the exercise you're attempting, which could result in really screwing up your elbows. Isolation exercises like that are common causes of that sharp elbow pain. When they started for me, a…

Great job DD! So proud of you and glad to call you my MFP friend!! Keep kickin' butt!

^^ What this person said. You absolutely don't need to eat breakfast. The myth that it "speeds up your metabolism" is a common myth perpetuated by folks like Shape magazine, right under the "Six Days to a Six Pack!" article. The specific times of day that you eat don't matter, as long as you eat. More often than not, I…

Jess, I'm not an expert, but I don't see anything you're missing in your diet. You're a good eater and get adequate amounts calorie and macro wise. If you've been eating at 2,000+ for a while and haven't been gaining, I suppose it's possible you've really stoked your metabolism - which is awesome. If this is the case,…

Something different that I'm doing with them this year is making Emergency Preparedness Kits for peoples cars and giving them as gifts for Christmas. Some items to put in: Road flares Flash light Duct Tape Phillips Screw Driver & Flathead Granola Bars/Trail Mix Pocket knife First Aid Kit Change for pay-phones Hand Warmers…

MsKittenHeels: If you don't mind me asking: What are your personal trainers credentials? A lot of trainers these days do not have the necessary foundation in nutrition to be giving dietary restrictions like this. Does he have any degrees in health, nutrition, or exercise? Or did he get his certification online after his…

Tuna & Cottage Cheese: 1 5oz. can Tuna in Water with 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese eaten on Wasa Fiber Crackers. 260 cals (+30cals for each cracker) = 46g protein and good fiber & nutrients.

Your post in another thread about frequent binge eating: "Posting to keep track, I have the same problem! I over ate by 900 calories last night. I have serious self control issues. I make it to about 9PM as well, and tell myself the same excuses of restarting tomorrow or next week. I eat small meals low calorie during the…
-
I'm still here!! I just suck at checking in. With that being said, though, I'm going to a Halloween party tomorrow night and will probably drink. This has been a great challenge, and I did way better than I thought I would! I'm going to do my best to stick with drinking once per month in the future :)
-
I second the New Rules of Lifting for Women. I just started phase 2 and am loving it!!
-
I think that you're restricting yourself too much - that's why you're binging now. I was doing the same thing on 1200 cals. You may not be very hungry at first, but it definitely catches up to you and your body is trying to make up for it. To be honest, I think restricting yourself further would just make it worse. You're…
-
I still eat mine! I try and keep it around 100g-150g a day. No way could I cut them out totally - I'm pretty sure that would turn me into a monster.

Day 20! Went to a house-warming party last night - I just drank soda and lime and it went great! My fiance appreciated me being the driver home, and I feel great today and will be extremely productive with my homework! Congrats to everyone else doing so well - I think I'm going to make a habit of sober-stretches more often…
-
lol, yes I get the point. I have a house warming party next weekend and plan to take vodka, club soda and limes - but will leave out the vodka in my own drinks :) I don't think anyone will notice, especially once the party really gets started. I don't really even miss drinking, it's nice to not feel guilty the next day…
-
Yay! I'm glad we're friends :) You look awesome, and I'm totally jealous of your cute hair bob.

Based on your other post, it sounds like you have a gluten sensitivity. I would try to stay gluten free, if I were you. I'll try and break this down as best I can, but I agree with other folks that say you ought to see a nutritionist or a dietician. I understand that nutrition can be a difficult thing to figure out, but…

Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby is what I live for in life. Chocolate covered, peanut butter filled pretzels in vanilla malt ice cream with fudge and caramel swirls. Edited to add: Folks who have mentioned Tillamook are onto a good thing too - Coffee Almond Fudge or Mudslide!!

I'm finding the book "New Rules of Lifting for Women" very helpful. Read the entire thing before you start though. It will help explain the importance of a well balanced diet and macronutrients, compound lifting (as another poster mentioned), and give you photos and instructions on each exercise. It also dispels many myths…

Welcome! Glad to have you :)

Remember that 'real friends' goes both ways, you gotta be honest and open-minded about suggestions or accountability. This means open diary too :) If you're cool with this then I'd be happy to support each other. I'm on MFP a few times a day.

I'm 5'3 on a mission to lose 30 lb. the healthy way (History of eating disorder here). Feel free to add me. I love to cook and don't root people on when they try to lose weight the unhealthy way, but am a great support if you're eating and exercising regularly!
