I've started adding it as either high impact or low impact aerobics depending on how active & long it was. If im out of breath & covered in sweat at the end I consider it high impact. I'm single so I rarely have a quickie & I make sure to count it! What pisses me off is that my Fitbit doesnt count it as "very active…

How is it working on your ankle? I'm thinking about getting one of these but so many people are complaining about the wrist issue & it not calculating anything other than steps taken when arms are moving. When I initially saw it I was excited because I thought with it being on the wrist that it would be monitoring my heart…

A corned beef reuben is my favorite sandwich but sandwiches are my favorite food so I could go on for hours about sandwiches I love. Unfortunately I don't get to eat many sandwiches anymore now that I'm on a diet :(

Thank God the consensus seems to be that coffee & tea count because I've been having one hell of a time trying to add 6 more glasses of water to my 4 cups of coffee, 2 cups of water & 1 can of Diet Coke everyday...I would have to be drinking every minute I'm awake to be able to consume all of that! Personally I don't care…

Well, I just had my birthday (and major cramps too) so aside from dancing Saturday night I've been skipping my workouts for the last 5 days & have been living on leftovers & birthday cake so I'm like 10 steps behind now & just in time for Thanksgiving! I will be working out today for sure but I can't make any promises for…

My cousin had hers taken out & she lived on rice & mashed potatoes for a week & then was able to go back to eating normally. She's a nurse & said that she was just supposed to eat bland food for about a week. Luckily bland food is low fat which is probably why the Dr. said bland & not low fat as at the time she was very…

Great points & feedback everyone, thanks!! Portion control will definitely be key & luckily I'm making Thanksgiving this year & only for myself & one other person so there won't be as much food to choose from as there would had I been going to my huge family dinner (where I must taste everything, even all 5 desserts). I've…

I love turkey pepperoni...I eat it with Wheat Thins toasted great plains multigrain thins but those might have too many carbs for you or I also eat them with cheese. There are 15 pepperoni in a serving & they have lots of protein (8g) & are low in calories (80) & have no sugar. I eat the Kroger brand & I like them because…

I love zucchini, I cook it all kinds of ways & often use it in place of meat in my pasta sauces to bulk them up!

I had the same issue but you just have to avoid refined sugars & somewhat ignore the natural sugars in things. Just eating a large apple gave me half of my sugar for the day so I just deduct the natural sugars from my total sugars when I'm looking at it. You do still need to monitor your sugar intake, Jackie Warner…

I do Wii Fit Plus & Wii Sports & I have Wii Active but it kicks my butt too much....it's difficult to tailor it to my needs as I have terrible knees & 90% of the exercises on there involve squatting or lunges of some kind. I've been doing a lot of Wii Boxing as it burns about 50 calories in 10 minutes & I can always make…

This is also good to know as I've yet to reach my calories for the day once (mind you, today is day 3)!! It's amazing how a stupid app can honestly help you monitor your foods. Last night I had breakfast for dinner & I checked the app before I cooked & thankfully I did...I omitted the hash browns so I could have a Skinny…

Thanks! I normally eat a SpecialK bar every morning...I only eat Raisin Bran as a snack or on weekends but it's not high in sugar, it just happens to be the only thing that I physically add sugar to, anything else I use Splenda. Today I opted for a Jimmy Dean D-Lite sandwich which kept me full so I didn't need the apple as…
