HI THERE I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS SITE, I HAVE. I ALSO AM A MOM (OF 4), I WORK FULL TIME, AND LOVE TO RUN. I HAVE LOST 15 POUNDS AND NOW AM FIGHTING THE MAINTENANCE GAME. KEEP A JOURNAL OF YOUR FOOD IT IS 80% NUTRITION AND EXCERCISE WITH THE KIDS IF YOU HAVE TO - PLAY GAMES, LIFT THEM UP AND DOWN FOR WEIGHT, GO UP AND DOWN…

I LOVE THE LAST POST IDEA OF PUTTING SALT OR SOMEHOW MAKING IT UNPALATABLE ESP AT RESTAURANTS WHEN WAITER DOES NOT COME RIGHT OVER TO CLEAR THE TABLE. THANK YOU

Be careful with your calorie burns on machines... They way overestimate. I bought a body bugg and realized the treadmill overest the calorie burn for myself by about 25% and the elliptical by even more. Put sunday behind you and eat clean, excercise, and you will get there. Good luck

Sounds good but low cal or not it is still a lot of sugar especially at night which spikes insulin right before bed. Have you tried chocolate protein powder? I make a milkshake with choc whey protein a tbsp instant coffee and ice/water

wow thought it was just me. I started out a year and half ago to lose 10 lbs and ended up losing 20 and loved the way I looked. Then I started allowing an occasional treat and I am back up 10 and hate it. I am having such a hard time losing again its driving me nuts and no one supports me because "you look fine". I don;t…

The book by tosca reno is all about this and has a grocery list but here are some of my favorites - ezekiel bread, hummus, all natural nut butters especially almond, quinoa, cottage cheese, greek or iceland yogurt (siege), sweet potatoes, egg whites, steel cut oats, flax, I supplement with CLA and fish oil too

Sounds intriguing who is the manufacturer? Have to say though all natural peanut butter although high in calories is good for you and studies have shown that eating 1-2 Tbsp of almond or peanut butter (again natural not processed jif stuff) actually helps you maintain or lose weight. I will use 2 tsp on ezekiel bread or…

I have the same problem and an unfortunate part of losing weight and weighing less is that you now need less calories a day - it is just not fair. I set out to lose 10 lbs last year and ended up losing close to 20. I am now fighting to keep it off while eating a healthy diet but not feeling deprived. Part of it is…

I am an emergency dept doc and I too work 11p-7a. Also four children at home... Sleep not always easy. My hardest time is the last day of the week I work and I stay up all day to "reset" I never know how to spread 1400 calories over 24 hours up so I usually just try to eat healthy every 3 to 4 hours and restart the next…

I liked Mastering Your Metabolism better as well. It makes sense although she goes a little over board in my opinion re the chemicals. I understand going organic when you can but not all the advice is practical for those of us who are not millionaires, have full time jobs and children to take care of.

I've had the same problem. I reached my goal last October and was so proud of how I looked. It was the first time in my life (I'm 40) that I wore a bathing suit and was proud. Then the same comments started coming - are you sick? what is wrong?...It started seeping in and I slowly started allowing myself a treat here and…

Hate to be the bearer of bad news weigh your apple and look at the calorie and sugar content. Those apples are yummy but usually 2-3X larger and I believe probably have 150+calories per apple vs the typical 80. It sucks to have to even watch fruit intake I could eat fruit all day long it is so yummy.

/ruby Tuesday veggie burgers are over 800 calories as well as their turkey burgers!!!

I have a bodybugg which is supposed to be extremely accurate. It will help you see what you are actually burning during the day and exercise which I was astounded to see is less than any website actually estimates. The elliptical is usually overestimating by as much as 50% and I do not hold the hand rales although I do…

Okay joined late but have eaten well now for 7 days,exercised intensely and lost at leas a pound. I am trying not to obsess about scale but how I feel and I definitely feel better about myself and more energetic. Thanks for the motivation everyone. EAT CLEAN!!:happy:

Wow thank you for all of your advice and support. I will definatly try some of these. I have not crocheted in a long time and although I love to scrapbook I find I still can munch and it is hard to concentrate with kids at night. The tea thing works too when I can get passed the want of food and think about it. I am going…

It has a way of creeping up on us. I let down my guard too and the same thing happened. I always excercise but it is 80% diet. People don't get that. keep it p I am on day 7 of clean eating and feel better than I have in a while. Trying to avoid the scale and just enjoying feeling more energetic and good overall - in the…

You are losing it seems from your tracker so it probably is okay now, When you get closer to your goal you may need to scale back a bit to lose those last few.

As long as you are not going over 1.6 grams per kg there is no health issues with this but if it causes you to go over your calorie budget then it will be converted to fat like any other calorie. therefore most people can eat up to 100 g plus without problems (stressing the kidneys). Just make sure that you are eating lean…

eating well mag has a great website as does oxygen magazine with recipes. Be careful though I love banana breads/zucchini breads... and as healthy as i've made them with flax and whole wheat... they are still very high in calories per slice!! 200 for one slice and if you are like me it is hard to stick with one slice and…

Sounds great. Just the challenge I need. Thank you and will try and stay in touch I am new to this program and still figuring out the navigation.
