CONS: I HATE DOING DISHES PROS: Less Expensive, I control what I eat and the nutritional value of the meals, it's always fresh, I get to use my fancy kitchen which is rewarding in and of itself!

I eat low carb. I just have coffee for breakfast. Then I eat a low-carb lunch around 1, then dinner. I'm not hungry in between meals, and my blood sugar stays pretty level throughout the day. So, it works well for me. I don't crash around 3 o'clock like I used to and I feel good enough to lift weights when I get home. Just…

Hello Hello! I am looking forward to a Halloween Party at a friend's house. My DH and I are always the larger people in the group; they just had a pool put in, so this summer was so horrifying yet enlightening. So, just this week we recommitted to a weight loss plan and so far the week is going well. We have both lost some…

I agree with this too!

My husband is 6'2" He looks his best when he is a fit 195-200 with muscle. If he just focuses on weight loss, he can start to look too skinny and have that sickly look, sunken cheeks and eyes. But, if he does enough weight lifting, almost entering a body building stage, and eats enough, he can cut to pretty lean and not…

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! EXCELLENT WORK!

I am starting the CNS today. I am going to try and make it very Paleo/Primal, although I might not make it 100%. I've just started getting into this particular train of thought and not everyone around me is on board. Particularly some friends I am very close to. So, MFP, podcasts, websites, and other non face-to-face media…

I always find it funny that any diet or exercise advice starts with "consult your doctor or physician" when Dr.s and Physicians are very rarely taught anything about Diet or Exercise. LOL. Anyway, consult your Dr. before taking anyone's advice. I'm not a Dr. or Physician but I've done a lot of research and reading on this…

In general, I don't believe it is okay for PTs to be overweight in an unhealthy way. There are going to be exceptions to every rule, such as they are still losing fat or have extra skin from a large weight loss, coming back from having a baby or having had a personal injury that could have kept them from training for a…

I took the actual phentermine under the consult of a doctor for about 5 months. I lost about 15 pounds. I put it back on plus another 10 after I quit. It made me irritable the fist week, which is a normal side effect and it helped at first suppress my appetite and curb cravings but it wasn't a long term solution. I…

OMG! That's awesome! Way to go!

AT 4'11" your results make very much sense, so all those "hmmms?" can be put to rest!!! Congrats again, your results are very motivating. Keep it up!

Awesome! Great job, I am motivated to to dust off the 30DS now! Did you mention how tall you were? Just curious. Thanks, Krista

OP: I just wanted to tell you my "big boned" side of things. I am German & Native American, I'm bred to be big. my mother is native american mostly, and she is taller than I am but she carries her weight really differently. Based on our legs, you would never know we were related. She has chicken legs (they are small even…

If people can use protein powders to increase their protein instead of adding more protein naturally through foods then why can't someone use a meal replacement shake that is easy and convenient to create a calorie deficit. It's also not just about calories, it's about keeping micronutrients in check too. And, it's not…

I use Herbalife shakes for breakfast when I wouldn't otherwise even eat breakfast! Stop judging people for using products they like. OP, I will friend you, then message you a large list of recipes or get them posted here soon. A good friend of mine is a distributor, a he works at a nutrition store/shake shop where they mix…

I just got the Polar Beat aka H7, I love it. I don't have to worry about tracking my activity, I just put it on when I exercise, and because it's linked to endomondo app on my iPhone 4S, it syncs automatically to that, which is connected to my MFP account. It's awesome!
-
I read the dos and don'ts for my blood type once. And a majority of the don'ts I already try to avoid because I've learned they upset my stomach. My current problem is eating too much of the dos and the foods that aren't on any list. lol. I have however, traced my slight (not severe, just slight) intolerance of lactose and…

I've been using meal replacement shakes for breakfast because I didn't eat breakfast before, but I beleive it's important to eat breakfast based on everything I have read. However, I've no time to get up and make an omlette, oatmeal, etc. Anyway, I like Herbalife, there's like 6 different flavors in their main line and…

I tried it and I returned it. I thought the powder mixes were terrible. Herbalife is the best powdered shake mix I have ever tried.

I just got a POLAR H7 HRM. I've had a Polar HRM before and it lasted a long time. The cool thing about the H7 is it connects to your iPhone using bluetooth, so you don't have to wear a watch or receiver, and it connects to endomondo, which connects to MFP. This is how I work my devices: I also have a fitbit one, which I…

Kale Chips = Goodness I just washed the Kale, dried it, shredded into pieces on a cookie sheet that I sprayed with Olive Oil, sprinkled with garlic salt, and baked at like 300 until they were mostly done. Some were overcooked and some were undercooked, and most were just right. It's just a matter of paying attention while…

AWESOME, CONGRATS! I'm starting this Sunday, I hope I see great results too!

I like Fire 45 EZ I'm Krista, also new to the group. Hoping to start my first round on Sunday!

Sounds like the perfect crock-pot soup. I'm going to make some tonight. I'll use black beans 9rinsed and drained, but fresh from a bag,not a can). I like my chili's spicy, so I'll probably add a little more onion & cayenne. I can definately see the metabolism boosting effects of this. I will double the recipe also and…

LOL, I'm a newbie...

CONGRATS! To everyone who is pregnant! That is exciting. I heard no extra calories needed in the first trimester, then just 200-300 more during the 2nd & third trimesters. A friend of mine used her pergnancy as an excuse to eat more, she actually got put on a restrictive diet by her doctor, a sort of low-carb thing,…
-
I agree. A person can eat 1500 calories a day of McDonald's vs a guy who eats 1500 calories a day of healthy stuff. Doesn't make 1st guy as healhty as the 2nd. Calorie deficits aren't the only factor is Fat/Weight loss. There's another lack of information part, weight loss doesn't necessarily mean FAT Loss. It's not…

5 DAY INFERNO is a little Pre Program diet & exercise deal that comes with the Turbo Fire kit. It's a food plan for the whole 5 days, it's high proetein foods like salmon and other lean omega 3 heavy meals that give you an energy boost, and then there's like 5 work-out routines for those 5 days they are long but they are…
