  • Yep...eat most of them or you will put yourself in starvation mode where your body will store everything you eat.
  • <3 Nutella *sigh*
  • I literally got off the couch and started moving with the "Couch 2 5 K" program on my treadmill....I got to Week 5 of the program and a friend introduced me to a Zumba/Cardio Dance class. WOW...I'm totally hooked. I bought a heart monitor and it calculates calories burned....I usually burn over 1000 calories in an hour at…
  • To mix up my routine I'm walking and jogging on my treadmill for about 30 minutes a day (I shoot for 100 calories burned) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I ride a stationary bike to burn 100 calories. After that, I do some leg stretching (I had my ACL replaced a year ago, so I need to…
  • I feel the change in my clothes more than I see on the scale. Keep up the awesome job!
  • I was going to ask if you worked in my office!!! LOL There is always a "celebration" of some sort going on that involves food...it IS hard, but you can do it! You can add me as a friend, as well. I sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day, so I understand your 'work-life". Luckily, there are stairs in my building, so I…
  • It's ok...we all do it...I did it with cookies a couple weeks ago. I got so mad at myself.. Just take a deep breath and relax. Tomorrow is a new day.... When I get stressed at work...I try to get out and take a walk...get some fresh air...it's ok :)
  • When you make spaghetti or lasagna, throw some frozen spinach in the sauce...it's basil (wink...wink)!! Only put about a 1/2 a block in, otherwise it might be obvious. I just made a Duncan Hines brownie mix this weekend with pureed black beans in the place of the oil and eggs. They are more "fudge-like", but my "meat and…
  • She's not supposed to be eating like that with the "lap band"...that is VERY dangerous... You can do it without medical intervention...we all can!
  • Dyamond77 Some ways to exercise without going to a gym: 1) find a set of stairs and walk up and down 2) walk around your neighborhood (if it's safe) 3) walk around the mall (just avoid the food court area) 4) "google" fat burning exercises and I'm sure that you'll find lot there Using canned goods as "weights" is an…
  • Hey Bridget, I've been eating what I want, as long as I stay under my calorie goal. However, in the last week, I've been looking at the calories in the things I "want" and asking myself...do you REALLY want it, or would you prefer something else? 9 times out of 10, I'm choosing the something else, which is either a Fiber…
  • Sorry that I don't have an answer, either, but sometimes it happens to me on my stationary bike, too.
  • Under "My Home" there is a "My Blog" tab...I think that's where you can create your blog. (Not completely sure, but it might be a place to start) :) Welcome and good luck!
  • Hey Bridget! I started about 20 days ago and am religious about logging my food. I think that is the key...every time I want to stick food in my mouth, I'm obligated to log it. For the last 2 days I've come in WAY under my calories for the day and I'm not miserable like I was on WW. I know that the exercise is helping, but…
  • I sit at a desk all day long and have the "munchies" all the time. I've found that if I eat small things in decent quantities (ie. nuts) I feel better. I've also bought some 100 calorie packs of craisins, smart food, etc. I used to try chewing "mint" gum, but have found that "fruity" flavored gums (sugar-free, of course),…
