I will drink almond milk and take vitamins because I agree with you I don't want to be missing out on nutrition. I dont drink regular milk as it is, just soy or almond milk. I decided to go this route bc I have hit a terrible plateau and realize that even though I am working out harder than ever, my diet is not helping me!…

I don't think so because you can still have chicken, turkey breast, and ground turkey. I already sub beef with ground turkey as it is. I love fish and chicken as well. You can have whole grains and oatmeal/quinoa as well. It's basically just eating whole, clean foods.

Triple that! I LOVE sushi and I could eat it for every meal....except breakfast I have to have a "breakfast" type food when I wake up lol.

Tr Gymnema Sylvestre. It's an herbal supplement, no side-effects and is primarily used for diabetics trying to control insulin/glucose levels. I have a TERRIBLE and I do mean terrible sweet tooth, but since I have been using this supplement (since Saturday), I have found my sugar cravings are becoming less and less. It's…

I feel your pain!!!! I am 5'2'' and currently about 124. Trying to get down to 118-120ish. Us shorties don't have much space for the pounds to pack on at! My problem area is my belly of course, but I am working on that. I am open for any and all friend requests!

I have been running more and hiking hills! Also doing yoga and more strength training, drinking lots of water and trying to eat a clean diet. I have started the Body by Vi 90 day challenge. That shake tastes like cake batter! I love it.

I agree. I simply cannot function on a 1200 calorie diet. Barely 1300! I am active at work and active during my free time too. I walk/jog with my dog twice a day and am on my feet for 6.5 hours at work walking, playing, running, with children, lifting things, cleaning, etc. I have been on 1500 cals for about a week now and…

Hello!!! I have been a ghost in here, I know, but PLEASE forgive me :( Feb I had a friend in town for 3 weeks and since then I have been working my tail off at work and also trying to maintain a normal home life in between trying to workout, work, and spend time with my husband and dog lol. With that out of the way, I know…

After the hike my friend and I did yesterday and all the walking downtown we did I am curious about my weight! We are both weighing in this week sometime! The hike was a 1200 ft elevation climb! Like a stairmaster from hell!! LOL

You made it all make perfect sense! I just hate that my BMR is like 1282 but to lose weight I am at a goal of about 1500 kcal/day. I couldn't live eating 1282 calories a day (half-joking). I have an appetite!! LOL

So I should change my settings so that I am at the highest level of activity since my job entails being on my feet for 8 hours? I workout 6-7 days a week as well.

Yeah I don't really log it because I am so unsure of the amount of calories burned so if anything it helps me by not including it. Thank you for this!

I wish my husband would workout with me! He has PT early every morning before work that he does with his Marines, he runs them and do circuits, plyometrics, etc. That's enough of a workout for him so he never feels like a 2nd workout with me. Sometimes he will go running with me as I am trying to get more into running.…

If I could "like" this I would! LOL

Like you I love Oxy Elite but got off of it to try to do this "on my own". I do enjoy the kick I get from a fat Burner. You should try Burn 60, it is part of the Total Lean line at GNC.

You are not a sissy!!!! I agree with a lot of people if working out and being healthy was easy we would all look like those celebs with killer bodies! Go and have fun, make note of what you're eating so you are keeping accountable, eat something healthy before and drink a lot of water. Water will fill some void in your…

Thank you Mimi! I am so excited to see her! It feels like it has been a century (really been since July)! I am stoked about going hiking I have been looking up some awesome places! I will definitely share pictiues!

Nice! There is one about 30 minutes away maybe her and I will make a trip there. And I know we will focus on helping each other but there will be a few much needed girl time date nights that will include splurges but I will try to stay under on other days to balance out what I eat that is high in calories and also try to…

February 20 is my birthday so I definitely have goals to meet for that! I am setting a month-long goal to lose 3 more pounds to get me at about 120-121 range! My bestest friend that I had back in NC before her and her hubby moved back home to Ohio and mine and I moved to Hawaii is coming to visit this Tuesday for three…

Thank you for your advice. As well as everyone else! I agree I think eating some of it back at least makes sense. There was a good example given....say my daily goal is 1340, if I work out and burn 400 calories that only gives me 940 calories to work with that day thus making me fall below 1200 and would then go into…

Hey ladies! I have to run to work but I will catch up this evening! Looking forward to February with you girls maybe a few new faces! Question! Is it okay to eat back your exercise calories???? I am so confused on this. The smaller I get the more help I need too. It's so hard once you hit the final 5 lbs. range! Have a…

That thread made me LMAO at the defensive BB coaches. Acg def whipped some *kitten* with his evidence. I think I'll stick with the much cheaper multi's and meal replacements I use already.

Thanks for the thread link!

Also been doing a lot more power walking on this big hill on the base my husband and I are stationed at. It really helps with thighs/butt!

Yes and with you reminding me I should probably start bumping up those workouts. I do a ton of cardio!

After taking it easy on my "goals" this past week I realize I am doing A LOT better at going above and beyond. I have done 2/3 ab workouts, been working out my arms almost every day with various activities at work, gone walking at least once a day but mostly 2 times a day, in addition to walking to/from work, have had a…

Yay for dropping! That sucks to hear you are sick but I feel you girl these last couple weeks my allergies have been bonkers! Sinus infections are TERRIBLE! Hope you feel better ASAP!

Good idea! Especially because when I push the kids I am pushing two kids at a time so one-arm each so that is more weight on my one arm rather than one kid with both arms!! And after today I am FREAKING BEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to the heavens I burned a lot because I caved today and finished off the cake I made. PMS+long…

holy MOLY being on my feet for 7 hours straight playing with kids all day, pushing them in swings, playing tag, eating fruits and veggies at snack time, and pushing buggies with 6 toddlers in them for a couple hours should be a workout on MFP!!!!! I am definitely feeling it! LOL

Eating like crap this weekend made a difference on the scale - I also used a different scale than normal and I am pms'ing. I am +2 lbs. 125 :(( my goal this week is simple: eat healthy, run, walk, do crunches, and arm workouts! I have mastered eating more fruits/veggies and drinking tons of water. With me starting working…
