Just log everything, that way you don't wonder why you are not losing at a rate you would expect. If you don't end up eating those few calories you'll just lose quicker, and who doesn't want that.

Tortilla shells and chips are very high in calories, rice is often hidden in many dishes and that will drive calories up also. Be careful about having multiple wraps or shells, go for a meal that is more of a platter and you should be able to get away relatively healthy. Enjoy your meal and don't panic, keep the tortillas…

Absolutely nothing, I have not completely deprived myself of anything. I make the choice to eat or not eat what I want. You are in control of what you do and don't eat. I you love burritos (and I do) you can have one (or at least) part of one. As an example, My kids love Red Robin, and I usually get a salad minus dressing…

They yolks are very high in cholesterol, their is some debate if that relates to an increase in serum cholesterol levels. Egg whites are usually used as a bit of filler with a whole egg also. For me I will eat an omelet with 1 whole egg and 2 whites. It is far less calories then multiple whole eggs.

Listen to your body, you said you travel a lot, try purchasing a set of resistance bands, they usually have a door attachment and you can really get a full blown workout in. Talk to your doctor about what you are doing, a medical condition can really influence what is happening. Good Luck

I do some form of cardio every single day. 1/2 of the time I run, some days I swim, bike, elliptical, stairmaster. I also try to get in some weight training on many days. Just stay active, if that means walking at lunch, full blown workouts, or whatever. I have had a lot of success just following this website's advise on…

A big salad with fresh greens with 4 oz of tuna. The dressing will make or break it you could get away with that whole meal being 200 calories

Protein shakes are not meal replacement shakes, If you drank 2 shakes and ate 1 meal every day you would quickly become under nourished and possibly suffer health problems. Protein shakes like ON Pro Complex can be used as a snack and makes a good post workout drink. But nutritionally it is not a meal replacement shake.

I run about 100 miles a month and I've been working on this also. I do notice a significant difference in my runs when I have consumed too few calories from carbohydrates but am patiently waiting for a good guideline. Just make sure they are good carbs, lots of whole grain, brown or wild rice, etc. I've seen friends blow…

Swimming, Bike, Elliptical. I agree see a doctor first to make sure nothing is wrong

Their are three basic body types (not sure what the official names are) some people run better on higher carb diets, some people run better on a good mix like recommended by the website here, and some run better on lower carb high protein diets so we can be different. If you are eating the wrong stuff you will have a…

Also if you do circuit weight training you will get your HR up. It isn't running but it will help.

RICE is the only thing Rest Ice Compression Elevation After 48 hours you could depending on severity start VERY LIGHT work and see how it feels, but if you did a good job injuring it then let it heal. Their are things at the gym you can do, light bike work, lots of weight training, and some gyms have that bike looking…

Their have been a lot of studies on the artificial sweeteners in diet cola, and the ones I've seen all say that diet soda can actually promote weight gain, especially when compared to water.

Just started to maintain. I could lose a few more I guess, but this was my goal weight and I want to see if I can hold it here.

when I started this journey I couldn't run more then about 10 minutes at 4.5 to 5 mph. Now 50 minutes and 5 miles is no problem at all. Can't wait till summer because the treadmill is very boring. As you lose weight and get more in shape your distance will increase. Try alternating between running and walking for 20 to 30…

No more fad diets. By monitoring your caloric intake you will learn what you should and should not eat for the rest of your life. No "diet" can be sustained forever, this can. Write down EVERYTHING that you eat, no matter how small the portion. If you input the correct information, the website will take care of the rest…

If you workout early in the morning you may notice a difference. I'm an early riser and then off to the gym. I have had 1/2 or 1/4 shake prior to going and it sometimes helps boost my energy. Always have something after to replace some of what you just burnt off. If you workout in the middle of the day you may not notice…

Pro Complex by ON. It tastes good has a ton of protein and minimal calories. Very good post workout drink, even mild enough for a mid workout supplement.

Just picked it up yesterday, the kids really like it. It will get your heart rate up a bit. With a HRM you could probably figure out how many calories burnt. A lot like the first one a mix of new and old pop songs

The old pyramid is out, the new one reflects modern science and its views on nutrition. The old one had way to little meat http://www.mypyramid.gov/ breaks down the new system

The right carbs are needed by your body to function. Complex carbohydrates provide you with the fuel necessary to support exercise and physical activity. Simple carbs are broken down by your body raising blood sugar quickly, then your blood sugar would drop frequently making you sluggish and hungry again. This is an easy…

Adults don't grow by drinking milk. Talk to your doctor about your size and shape. Weight charts don't tell the whole story. I'm 5'10 and this morning I weighed in at 194 lbs. According to my BMI I need to lose another 20 lbs. I personally can't see how that is possible. I'm mostly happy with my appearance. How do you…

subtract your age from 220. that is your max heart rate. You should train anywhere between 50 to 90% of that. So for me as an example: 179 is my max heart rate 220-41 Then my target heart rate should be between 90 and 160. really anywhere in that range should be fine. The higher the heart rate the more calories you'll burn

The goal is to get your heart rate up. On your long walks speed up a bit, mix it with short 30 second jogging, eventually your body will get use to it and long walks turn into long runs. The closer you get to your target heart rate the faster you'll get in shape.

William Sonoma Mine is from Salter does g and oz in 1g and 1/8 oz increments

15 minutes is just fine, next time try running for 10 walking for 10 then trying another 10 running. You will build endurance and be able to run for miles soon.

The slower more natural rate you lose fat the better the chance it will stay off. 2 lbs a week goal is just fine, you may lose faster but it isn't a real big deal. I found that weight fell off of me the heavier I was. As I slimmed down it was harder to lose at a quick rate. I'm still losing but at a close to maintenance…

Just have a small piece to be polite. Don't stack too many "over" days together, you've worked hard to this point, and that kind of food just isn't worth it. Try to eat as clean as possible throughout the day and you should have plenty of calories left by cake time. Stick with the 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day and…

Keep up the good work, some of that weight is probably water weight, especially if you changed what you eat also. When you eat carbs your body can retain more water, as you shift to eating more fruits and vegetables along with lean protein you carry less weight. This happens dramatically when on diets like Atkins and south…
