A 19 month old drinking 6 cans of soda a day honestly boggles my mind.

I love to snack! Whenever I'm craving something sweet I go for strawberries with fat free cool whip.. Probably my favorite snack ever! The Weight Watchers brand smoked cheese sticks are seriously delicious and only 50 calories. Hummus and veggies are a satisfying snack with fairly low calorie count (carrots or bell peppers…

Beer.

I like to log ahead of time because it helps me stay within my calorie limit for the day. When I used to log after I ate, I'd sometimes find myself still hungry at night even though I'd eaten all my calories for the day by lunch time. I don't always log for the entire day ahead of time, but I always log before each meal.…

The weight watchers smoked cheese sticks are pretty delish, and only 50 calories per stick.

I love RunDouble!

I started a C25K program on Friday. Just completed my second run! I am using the app on my phone called RunDouble. You can sync it to your computer and it shows your whole route as well as how fast you went for each interval. It's really simple to use and you can play music in the background while running the program. I am…

Go for it girl!

This recipe uses avocado instead of mayo. I've made it a couple times and it always comes out delish! http://becomingbetty.blogspot.com/2011/09/avocado-chicken-salad.html

If you consistently feed your body properly, you won't eat an entire box of chocolates. Depriving your body of nutrition causes the drive to binge like that.

Breakfast: McDonalds breakfast burrito Lunch: Chicken Gnocchi Soup from the Olive Garden w/ breadsticks and italian soda Dinner: Chicken Cordon Bleu Dessert: Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake And at the end of the day I'd be feeling like complete garbage. Just for fun, this tallies up to about 2500 calories. Not to…

I see a big difference! You look great. Congrats on your progress :)

I had some coffee with cream only (I usually have sugar but I decided not to today.. and it wasn't so bad!) 1/2 cup Quaker Quick Oats with brown sugar. 220 cal all together I think! Can anyone recommend a good flavored coffee creamer that doesn't have a lot of sugar?

Girl, check out my pictures. I'm with you on the lovehandles issue. No amount of side crunches has helped, so I'm just hoping the more I loose fat and tone my body in general, the less visible they'll be.

Woo! Good to hear. I once heard it takes 2 weeks to notice changes in your own body, 4 weeks for family and friends to notice, and 6 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Glad to hear that I'm getting there! Thanks guys.

Anyone?

Does anyone have a link to it? Might try it tomorrow if it looks good!

Thanks for posting this! I was pretty worried about my sugar intake too. It's been way high, but mainly from fruits and and things like sweet potato.

Trader Joe's Heart Healthy Whole Grain Cranberry Oatmeal is amazing.

I really didn't keep track of what I was eating, which became a big problem. I could order whatever from restaurants without thinking "hey... this meal probably has the amount of calories I should be eating in an entire day"..

Definitely trying this.. Sounds like it would be a lot cheaper than buying tortillas too!

Haven't looked at her food diary but this came off a bit harsh to me... When you're first starting out, as I am, it's not easy to just cut out every single food that you used to enjoy but isn't great for you. Edit: Okay. Looked at her food dairy and yes she does eat a lot of McDonalds.. But at least she's going for the…

Totally agree!

Haha thank goodness. Darn, now I ruined your fun! Sorry!!

Guys... TIMEZONES!

I'm really really not trying to be mean but please tell me you're joking!

If you really love your spouse, you wouldn't do it. IMO, you wouldn't even have the urge to do it. I can honestly say I don't find any man to be as attractive as my hubby!

Love it, but only the fat free kind. My husband was told to eat the full fat kind to gain weight while in basic training for the Army, and that is not what I'm trying to do! I like it on celery or just by itself.

Really surprised to read number 3, about the author discouraging people from stretching before your work out.. I actually disagree with that. Is it not true that you decrease your risk of injuring a muscle if you stretch before exercise?
