Can't wait to try this... great way to "sneak" even more veggies in to my children's diets as well!

5'7.5" 140lb, size 4

I don't get it either... I wish it were by weight

I'm 5'7", 140lb, 34-29-36, size 4 pants. I still wanna lose 5-10lbs tho.

Just finished my 1st day of the week 2 exercise. I'm not doing 5-6 days/week though. I found that I need to let my muscles recover in between. Also, since the videos don't focus on flexibility at all, and you need some flexibility in order to do the moves, I'm finding that doing a yoga video I have that focuses on…

I eat a lot of egg whites. It's really simple to hold the egg over a bowl and kind of toss the yolk back and forth between the two halves of the cracked shell letting the white fall into the bowl. I love eating eggs every day for breakfast. 3 egg whites has 12g protein, no fat, carbs, or cholesterol and bout 50 calories. 1…

I bought this one 3 years ago when I joined weight watchers and I still use it every day http://www.gardenyourhome.com/taylor-biggest-loser-6-6-pounds-kitchen-scale-with-glass-platform/8&tbm=shop&cid=16726401830087015660&sa=X&ei=7f9AT9m4G-jo0QHZyp3gBw&sqi=2&ved=0CKABEPICMAM

by the way, let me know how the red light thing goes... my tanning salon has that too :)

You DEF don't need a gym. My husband is a personal trainer and he is all into the old time strongman stuff and bodyweight exercise. He is in amazing shape and has not lifted a weight in years. He is bigger now than he has ever been. Of course he doesn't just do straight push-ups, he does them with his feet up on the back…

Thanks to all for the laughs :) I'm not a dude, but I only have like... 2 friends on here since I'm new if anyone wants to add me ;)

Hey all... Starting Weight: This past Monday:141 Challenge Goal Weight: 132 Strengths: I'm generally a very healthy eater and my husband is a big support since he is a personal trainer and nutrition fanatic Struggles: being motivated to exercise Weekly Success: I've cut soda and red meat out of my diet for the past 2 weeks…

Fage is definitely the best tasting, but I usually eat Chobani bc they sell the big containers of it and we go through it like crazy since my husband and I and our kids all eat it. Today for lunch I had Chobani 0% Vanilla with 2 Tbsp Peanut butter and 1tsp honey and dipped apple slices in it. It is like a dessert it is the…

Have you tried putting your hands on a yoga mat or something if your palms are just hurting?? You could also try pushing up on your fists. If all else fails, try doing pushups on an angle to take some of the weight off of your hands- put your feet on the floor and your hands on a step. Keep going up a step raising the…

Green tea has a much lower caffeine content than coffee, however as far as raising your metabolism, I read an article about it a while ago and it said studies showed that you'd basically have to consume about a gallon a day for there to be a difference, so get brewin' ! I haven't done it myself, but I've been thinking…

Yes, under "Home" at the top, click on "Goals" then you can edit your goals and change them by percentages.

I did WW Online a couple years ago and I loved it. Once I got used to the point values of the foods I ate regularly, it was really easy to follow. I lost 35lbs in about 5 months and I have maintained it for 2 years. I did it without any exercise. There is a ton of info about healthy food choices and nutrition on their…

Hey :) The same thing is happening to me, and it all comes from eating 2 apples and a greek yogurt that has fruit in it usually. My husband (personal trainer and nutritional fanatic) is telling me to snack more on veggies if I can, but not to freak out as long as it's coming from fruit. He also said to maybe switch out one…

So barely an update here.... I'm trying to do this 5 days/week. I really don't think that working out 6-7 days with no break when you have sore muscles is a good thing, and my husband (who is a personal trainer) agrees. I worked out day 1, rested the second day bc I was really sore, worked out day 3, and took off day 4…

I eat Chobani mostly, but Fage I think is the best tasting of all 3, it's the least "chalky". I think Chobani might have improved the consistency of their yogurt, bc it definitely doesn't seem as bad as it used to, and I don't think it is just because I've been eating it all the time for a couple years, I dunno...

It's definitely better for you... higher in protein, less carbs, and less sodium. Greek yogurt also has less sugar, unless you get the kind with fruit in the bottom, then it probably has about the same amount. Some brands are better than others. Now that it is more popular, I read some article about what brands are "truly"…

If you have on-demand though your cable provider, there is probably a yoga workout you can try on there. Meditation is amazing and also controlled deep breathing. I teach deep breathing exercises with most of my clients as one coping skill for managing symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression...the list goes on. Basically…

My parents live with us, although they travel most of the time... when they are home, my mother totally tries to sabotage our healthy eating habits. I try to think ahead each night as to what I want to eat the next day. Planning ahead makes it easy to not be searching around through the other options I have when she starts…

People suffering from anorexia usually are eating less than 500 calories each day and have horrible physical, mental, and emotional side effects... not really comparable to this.

Maybe you're not eating enough? or you could increase your fiber or something?? I'm having trouble with this whole calorie thing... I did weightwatchers a few years ago and the point system was so easy and gradually lowered as you lost weight. I literally lost weight every single week from the week i started till I was at…

I didn't read everyone's post so hopefully no one already said this, but there is a book called the Warrior Diet that is about this. It's based on early humans who were hunter/gatherers and prepared one meal in the evening after hunting and everything all day. This was not an obese society, but of course they were very…

This is copied from an email I got from Beach Body a long time ago. I've made it a few times, since my husband and I rarely eat meat and it was really good. This recipe is great for vegetarians and spice addicts. The beans and veggies give it a great fiber profile. Plus the more you spice it up, the more you can boost your…

Feel free to add me, I only have 2 friends here so far! :) I'm 5'7 1/2 " and 140, size 4. i wanna lose 10 more pounds

Hey all... my husband makes vegetable juice daily for himself and our kids (I don't drink that s*** lol) and sometimes lives on it for however long he feels like torturing himself for. He reports feeling a lot of physical benefits every time he fasts, such as weight loss, increased energy, and I don't know where he gets…

From what you've shared, you don't have an eating disorder and it doesn't look like your on your way to having on either, because you have really good insight into what's happening with yourself, which is not present in individuals with these disorders. (I'm a therapist) Just wanted to put that out there, since I really…
