I usually do a half cup (uncooked) plain oatmeal, a handful of blueberries, and a little bit of splenda around 8:30 or 9:00. Then around 10:30-11:00 I'll have a half cup of low fat cottage cheese! OH and LOTS, and LOTS of water!!!

Anything by Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, or Ke$ha!

I LOVE this analogy!

Well, most places will do all veggies for you and ask that they don't use butter on them. But I would suggest just enjoy whatever you would like, just watch your portion sizes! It is a special occasion so indulge a little!

My husband had the problem with his Polar FT4. We replaced the batteries in both the watch and the chest strap and neither seemed to help. I bought mine at the exact same time and haven't had any problems with it.

I like the vanilla ice cream sandwiches! YUMMY!

My husband is overweight according to BMI as well... 6'3" and weighs 220 lbs. He has huge muscley shoulders, chest, and back and wears a 34 in pant. There is no way he is overweight. What's even worse is his employer does a biometric screening and BMI is one of the factors in it. Well, since according to BMI he is…

Do you have a recipe for this? It sounds yummy!!

Tresseme makes a waterless shampoo. It comes out looking like a mouse, its a little different than any other waterless shampoo I've used. I used it the other day after my workout and I am a SWEATER! I'm talking my hair is soaked in the back and around the hair line. Anyway, I put some of that in it, blow dried it out, ran…

Strengthening your core can help your posture which could make you appear taller!

Yep especially for women b/c women don't want to "bulk up"! This one drives me crazy! To build muscle you have to challenge the muscles AND women aren't genetically made to get HUGE like men.

Sugar and Sodium!

CONGRATS!!!

Too much fat??? Bananas are higher in carbs and sugars than most other fruits but there is no fat in them (thats from the Chiquita website). Maybe that person was confusing fat and carbs???

I use Splenda too. Have you looked into buying some of the "sugar free" flavored syrups that the premier coffee places use? You should be able to get them at any of the big grocery stores. I can't tell that they are even sugar free. My favorite drink from Starbuck's is a skinny iced Sugar free French Vanilla latte. Since…

Agreed! I read somewhere it takes 7 (I'm pretty sure it was 7, I remember it seeming like a lot) times for kids to "know" if they like or dislike new foods!

I just EAT it! :smile: I love it with fruit, granola, and a little honey! Great breakfast or snack!

Any diet advice that tells you to quit eating a certain food and food group. Everything in moderation helps me keep from bingeing on those "forbidden" foods!

It could have just been a fluke. I've seen my HRM give me a strange reading every once in a while and then it jumps down to a more normal range. I would just keep an eye on it. If it starts happening frequently or you feel dizzy, light headed, or nauseous when you're getting the high of a reading then I would talk to a dr.

You should always do a little cardio as a warm up to your weight lifting. Doing a full blown cardio work out before you lift will tire your muscles and could cause you to have improper form when lifting. Improper form can cause injuries. I like to do my cardio in the morning and then weight train at nights. This is not…

I don't think you have made your diary public, so we can't see it.

Man I have the same problem! I sweat worse than a man. THe back of my hair is soaked when i get done, not to mention all my make up is GONE! I have seen the waterless shampoos. I wonder if using one of those and blow drying it would get it back to looking halfway normal??

Just keep in mind that what yuo do today isn't neccesarily going to have an affect on the scale tomorrow. There is usually a few days lag time in there! Just stay motivated and keep moving!!!

So completely just curious but have you tried not doing ESE and working out say 5-6 times a week? Like i said just purely wondering if you had tried that before and it didn't work for you and that is why you tried ESE. I seem to be having a problem getting into the routine of ESE.

Awesome!! :laugh:

Have the same one and I completely agree with you! I love it!

There are POSITIVE people here!?!?!?! Love it!

I'd invest in a good heart rate monitor. Polar is a good brand, I have the FT4. Spend a little extra money to get one with a chest strap.

BUMP! Sounds awesome!

Well I'm glad there are a few people that seemingly agree with me! I was afraid I was going to be chastised! I have been the "obsessed mode" before. I scrutinized everything I put into my body. I never allowed myself to join friends at a happy hour b/c 1. I had to go to the gym and 2. I couldn't possibly let myself drink…
