I wanted to see if anyone had any enlightening knowledge on my problem. I have not had a period since February. I am 5"7 and weigh 156....obviously, I am not underweight or lacking body fat. I have taken up running in the past 6 months, I have lost right at 50lbs in the past 9-10 months, and between working 2 jobs and my…

Maple Grove Farms of Vermont!!!!! The Greek is my fave (10 cal) and the Cranberry and Rasberry Vin. are also awesome!

6 months ago, I couldn't JOG for 2 minutes straight. Last weekend I ran the Cooper River (10K) bridge run in 1:01! Didn't walk once. IT WILL GET EASIER. If you don't like the timed intervals, stick with the distance ones, but just make sure you keep it challenging. Maybe after a week, try running through 2 markers and and…

Look up negative calorie foods and it will give you a list of really low calorie fruits and veggies.

I LOVE them! They are a little small, but for only 90 calories.....what do you expect? They taste great. :)

I agree about the proteins! I eat a protein meal bar or drink a shake almost every day as a snack. Also, on mornings when I work the early shift, I eat 4 small meals and 4 snacks per day. Pretty much I eat every couple of hours. I think spreading it out makes you feel less hungry also. I have learned that what you eat will…

I too, would like to buy one, but I am really torn about how to pick one out ~ really want a good one. :) I'll keep my eye on this post. Thanks!

I totally say reward yourself -especially if it's only 3! Moderation and log it! Also, Hershey's cocoa powder if useful ~ I flavor oatmeal with it if I want chocolate first thing in the morning. :) Only 10 calories.

I have noticed bruises on my legs also. I am not sure how they got there, but I have been running over the last 6 months myself, and they DO seem more prevalent.........weird.

So which one did you buy? I, too, have read some reviews and am still up in the air.;)

Hey, I am also training for my first 5K (in a while)....I am training with the running group at my YMCA and we have been doing interval training which has made the process a lot less painful. I started out doing one minute running one walking and am now up to 3 minutes running and one walking. Each session is about 30…

I am curious about this as well. Someone told me today that I should be eating at least 1500 calories a day.

Someone told me once they no longer "waste" calories on candy that is mediocre, so last time I was at Aldi, I bought a few kinds some of which are really good crisp bars - 95 each and also waves that look like chocolate Pringles. They are only 19, so if I only have a few calories left, I can have one. Also, lately with the…

Today, I bought powdered peanut butter. Apparently, it has been around for a while, and I just didn't know about it. It's called PB2 and it only has 45 calories per serving - I thought it was AWESOME! As much as I crave peanut butter I cannot afford to eat it as often as I like, so this was a great alternative for me!

I love pretty much all oatmeal, but the other night I added Cocoa powder and a dash of Splenda to it and made chocolate oatmeal - it filled me up and killed my chocolate craving! Cocoa is supposed to be VERY good fro you. :) Good Luck!

I love protein bars! I buy Aldi brand and they are wonderful! I also loke Luna bars. They taste like a candy bar, but they actually fill me up for a few hours. I do NOT eat them alone as a meal replacement as suggested, but they are a good quick snack that I feel holds better than 2 100 calorie pack of crackers fro…

Try looking at other peoples' food diaries. Since almost everyone is trying to eat healthy, most meals are healthy and you can see the nutrition facts as you look. Good Luck!

I think Hungry Girl has a recipe for Gyros! Sometimes I use her whole recipes, and others I just take pieces and parts! Good Luck! I, too, love them.

Popeye's Spicy Fried Chicken, homemade Macaroni and cheese, and a huge Buttermilk biscuit with a side of a Bojangle's BoBerry biscuit with butter (not that I remember how that tastes ;) Key Lime, Fudge brownies, Wendy's Coffee Toffee Frosty, and a piece of Turtle Cheesecake for dessert. That is all! :)

I have lost almost 40 lbs. in all - some before MFP and some after. Sometimes, the people you see most won't notice and sometimes at random I see people, and their jaw drops! I don't feel like my clothing size has gone down much, but my clothes are fitting differently. I was totally bummed by this, but today I tried on a…

Hot chocolate is my favorite! Unsweetened Almond Milk (35) 1 tsp. cocoa powder (10) Splenda

And also with Sugar Free Calorie Free Coffee flavoring Syrup. Torani chocolate syrup and a packet of Splenda = YUM! I have a bit of a sweet tooth :/

I LOVE it with a splash of Lime juice and a packet of Splenda! Healthy Key Lime taste;)

I also, have noticed that eating before working out and not after is a lost cause! Thanks for the reminder though! Great Job on your weight loss:)

I log mine under aerobics, modern dance, twist, ballet. (I think that is what it says.) I don't know about Wii Zumba though.

Good Question! Funny, my sister and I split a Subway Veggie sub today and she tallied her calories on Subway's website and I did mine on here and hers was 32 lower than mine - I don't think Subway counts calories in most of their veggies.

Weekly Goal: 3500 Mon: 674 ~ Zumba/ Elliptical Tues: 0~~~~~ didn't feel well :( Wed: 700 ~ walking, running, cross-trainer, elliptical Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 1374 Left to go: 2126
