How large is a serving? 338 is a lot if it's only a cup.

Make sure your aloe is real aloe. If you read the label, and the first ingredient is Water, it's just going to make things worse. Wallgreens actually sells their brand of aloe, and the first in gredient is just that--aloe! It's rarer than you think, but if it's good, real Aloe it should really help. Also, asprin/advil can…

Mine were for JCpenny and Claratin. Luck of the draw?

Obviously you can build/tone a muscle, have you ever seen a body builder? Obviously their muscles are literally and physically bigger, more defined, more built than an average person. I don't know where you got that idea from. And you can build muscle with a calorie deficit, but a calorie defiicit can't be the ONLY thing,…

Hey Guys! I love, love, LOVE the 10-minute solution series. They have so many, you can do a different one every day! basically, it's 5 10-minute workouts. They have a mini-warm up, a good amount of exercise, and a mini cool down. You can do one, a few, or all of them. Each workout has a theme (kickboxing, yoga, pilates,…

OMG it's like you guys know me x3 So many sweet treats, I am a big sucker for sugars and fruits. Frozen sliced bananas sounds AWESOME, with vanilla pudding! If I slice it up now it will be pretty good by the time my workout is done... Thanks for the ideas, keep 'em coming, sometimes I get bored with my usual oatmeal after…

Are you kidding me? I eat Apples, Oatmeal, and salad all the time and they are some of the foods that fill me up the least xDD If I just eat an apple when I'm hungry, half an hour later I'm STARVING. It just goes through me so quick and has hardly any calories, it just teases my tummy and then makes me even hungrier. Same…

I say make "smart" choices, keep a kind of mental calculator, take 15 minutes to catalog what you can remember at the end of the night and don't be upset if you've gone over. if you can just maintain while your family is in town, then once they leave you are no further behind than when they came and you (hopefully!) got to…

Maybe make it an exercise game? Dawg = 10 Jumping jacks. "Pitchy" = 10 Crunches, 10 lunges, 10 push ups. You get the idea ;3

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your responses! So what I gather is it totally IS possible, it just takes a lot more diet restriction and monitoring of your protein consumption, making sure you get enough of it, and protein shakes and some supplements help take the guesswork out of that. I can see their benefit, but my BF…

Muscle does weight more than fat. One square foot of muscle would weight more than one square foot of fat. You cannot use the same unit of measurement to define a thing twice. Volume vs. weight = Muscle weighs more than fat. Look how small that piece of muscle is in relation to that fat. Thank you.

1 question, what is your weight loss goal set at? This low of calories seems like you're trying to lose too much at once, like 15. or 2 lbs a week. I would really recommend trying only 1lb a week, and it should allow you more calories. Also, i would put yourself as lightly active, second step up. You shouldn't count daily…

I too gave pro-active a try, and had pretty relentless acne. It didn't do anything for me, however, hardly any medications did. Something that helped me was, as you are doing, making sure to give my face a really good rinse after my cardio and wisk all that sweat away. However, I never wash my face after my Cardio, just…

You know the answer. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise a proper mix of cardio and resistance training. That is how I've lost weight, that's how people do lose weight. That's really it.

Bring re-usable bags with you when you go shopping, use them in place of grocery carts, use self check out and conveniently forget the most expensive items in the bags you then loan your groceries back into. Works like a charm :)

Dang, everything on that first page looks delicious. Thanks for the lunch ideas ;)

I am not single (just a truthful disclaimer >w<;) but I feel a certain special resentment towards V-day because of all the CANDIES! February comes around and all the candy makes suddenly start making all these ridiculous fancy chocolates that are NEVER out any other time of the year! It's soo frustrating, everything just…

Yes, so let your body enter starvation mode, because if the people in a Holocaust death camp can "push it" and keep loosing weight, so can you! And it's totally legitimate and healthy for your body!

When I started on the pill, I noticed a big change in hormones and cravings, and therefore, weight gain because I was eating more. But, once I started eating right and working out, I lost it. It is not a life changer, you just have to keep on top of things :)

Welcome! You might feel alone, but hopefully most people on this site are trying to be *healthy* above all else, so whether we are loosing, gaining, or maintaining, we can all support each other! Best of luck, this site is great!

This post seems very familiar, did you post a similar topic around a month ago? Either way, sounds like you are "lightly active"; a job that is seated, but you are still on your feet every once in a while. If you are on your feet all the time, set it as Active. Your allotted calories will change accordingly. But you cannot…

All you people posting about the adverse effects of Aspartame (which is in your low fat yogurts, many health bars, and a large range of other non "diet" products) have yet to post any quantitative proof. If you have any, I would sure like to see it, as I consume many a fake-sugar containing product and know many people who…

I eat a good 300-400 calorie breakfast about an hour before a workout, so I have enough energy to actually get through my workout. After a good circuit training workout for about 45 mins, I am pretty hungry again, so I try to eat a snack like a banana after, then a little while later, lunch.

In my opinion, No. I wouldn't want to be alone with my perfect body, I would want to be out having fun enjoying life with others. And if that meant I had to take "darn near perfect" over "perfect", I would. Your perfect body is your opinion of course, most people would think you are crazy for thinking you need to change…

I'm guessing that darn near no-one on this site is a doctor. Something like this should really be discussed with a professional, it could be very harmful to your body.

Thanks for some of the responses guys! I guess, I'll have to find another couple of workouts I love as well, and mix them up together. But hopefully once spring comes I can add in bike-riding and some outdoor cardio. This is a great idea, thanks, I never really thought about when I should use heavier weights. I only use a…

Certain apples really do have more sugar and more calories than others, i.e. a large Fuji has around 110, a large Gala 80. The calories on a package are right, just watch which apples you're getting :)

They make flavored green teas, always try to buy more natural ones. Lipton has these pyramid satchels filled with loose leaves and bits of orange rind, very yummy! I have drank tea all my life so I can stand it without sugar, but a little sweetener can go a long way. Hints: Always pour boiling water over a tea bag, one cup…

My two close girl friends have made news years resolutions to loose weights, but when we went out to a Diner last week we all god burgers, fries, quesadillas xD We just couldn't resist! When we spend time together, we like to snack, and mostly, prepare yummy drinks ;3 It's been a little hard, because we've had set fun…

Very pleased with my workout today! I saw someone else's post about falling behind the timing in Anterior raises and I realized, i have NEVER been trying to match my pace to the videos, I have been kind of going to a beat in my head or what felt comfortable. Well today I tried to match the timing with every move and it was…
