  • I like to work out alone, even when my husband comes with me he does his thing and I do mine. I usually have my Ipod on anyway to block everyone out.
  • Snack queen here.. Kind Bars .. around 200 cals and worth everyone! Snack Bread by Ryveta 6 slices for only 120 cals, you can top them with whatever you like. Snikiddy cheese puffs, baked fries etc..I drive across the boarder just to pick these up!! (not sold in Canada) Light Baby Bells CoCo Lites think huge rice cake but…
  • To be honest, If you knew the caloric intake in Can/Americanized Chinese food you'd probably never eat it again. Just one cup of fried rice has about 400 cals and don't even get me started on the sodium. When one plate of Chinese food has over 1200 calories why even bother entering it, that's probably over your entire days…
  • Hell ya!! who says cereals just for kids? Cheerios plain Special K Vanilla and Almond etc Fiber one Rice krispies and Fruit Loops when I'm feeling naughty!
  • AMEN SISTA!!!
  • Why would I need to prove it? or lie for that matter, this is a personal journey for me. There are too many moonlighting fitness pros on these boards. Everyone needs to do what works for them. Take advice with a grain of salt . I know I have built muscles since I could hardly lift a 10 pound dumbbell before and now I can…
  • I'd let people know at work that you're on a diet and perhaps next time they can pick a healthier place to eat. Check out the restaurants nutritional info online before you go and try to pick the healthiest option on the menu. Have a glass of water before you eat so you'll feel fuller, and if you order salad ask for the…
  • The proof is in my pudding, I have gained muscles. I'm not trying to look like a wrestling star. In that case of course I'd have to eat more and adjust my diet etc. I'm sure most women like myself just want to get tonned and lose some lbs and I have accomplished this. To each their own.
  • I'm only 5 ft and I don't have a lot of weight to lose so i'm definitely not depleting my body of anything. I make sure I eat lean protein with every meal. Like I mentioned before, everyone is different. In my case and many others it can be done. if done PROPERLY, End of.
  • I stick with a 1200 diet plan (as stated in my last message), lift weights daily and feel stronger then ever. As long as people feed their muscles with whey isolate afterwords. It can be done.
  • This is so true..I have to admit at first I did find it hard to stick with 1200 a day. I was used to eating crap and way too much of it before. It took a few weeks to get into a routine of preparing low cal healthy meals, reading labels, changing my view on food . After 2.5 months I've lost 17 pounds I've lowered my…
  • My Husband and I switched to almond milk as well. I used to drink a lot of milk and was finding it hard to stay within 1200. So now I just use 1 percent in my lattes (don't really like the taste of almond in my coffee) and use almond milk for everything else ie, cereal, smoothies, tea etc We buy the plain unsweetened kind…
  • I lost 17 pounds in 2.5 months. I also have asthma and knee problems. My advice would be to join a gym so you're in a controlled environment (helps with my asthma, since I have mostly environmental allergies that trigger my Asthma) perhaps you're the same. I walk/speed-walk on the tread mill everyday for 45 to 60 mins and…
  • Just ordered her trouble zones DVD today! I'm no longer second guessing my purchase. Great work!!
