I gave myself a 7 day challenge to burn 500 calories a day and then I made myself a blog about it to keep track. I mainly walk to get this in and do weight lifting 3 days a week. I am slowly adding in push ups and sit ups

water, water , water. and when in doubt.. more water. I too noticed my lips were getting dry , so I up the water to about 100 oz a day ( thats 6-7n bottles of 16oz a day) plus working out in the dry winter air I had to add some lip balm in. Protein is what the hair and nails need to stay in shape

mine is set that way too. ( we must be aiming for the same round about numbers )

eat 1200 calories

you dont need to burn 2100 calories a day honey!! the 1600 cals u are eating a day already has a built in deduction from what ever you put in goals to lose each week. example: If you want to lose 2 pounds a week and you weigh 225 now but your goal weight is 170. It will say you need to eat 1225 cals day to make sure you…

I have done this also. Being I too cook from what ever comes to mind and what recipes I have created over the last 10 years. I have entered them in but the amounts I use and then I just know how many servings I can get out of each . but you can just try searching with some key words what you are looking for. you could try…

a pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories! as for the cal in and out. my personal way: I try to eat 1200 calories ( that is what MFP says and my surgeon told me after my stomach staple) I personally try to burn off 3500 calories each week to lose a pound. for me I physically can not eat back any of the calories I burn off .…

you are correct.. as a chef I know there is no difference in any salt. its all the same. the way we cook with it is all that makes it different to me.

I love seasoning things. I have a whole cabinet devoted to spices. with seafood I use dill, rosemary, lemon , paprika, thyme, basil leave, fennel seed, and if you want that kick use some cumin for chicken-garlic, peppercorn, tarragon, orange, honey, cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, mustard seed,ginger,cardamom,caraway age,…

try doing your measurements. I tend to see the scale as evil..... are you getting your water in. that is a key need to lose weight as it flushes the body

6 years ago I put myself thru HELL having gastric bypass surgery ( lost 140lbs) then in 07 I had a tummy tuck and boob job and lipo ( OUCH is all I can say) but since then I have let myself go and the weight slowly came back and I hit 225 again and I said NOPE NOPE I DID NOT put myself thru so much surgery and pure hell…

i was going to say just learn to convert to a % .. it can be tasky but worth it so you know what ur putting in

Police training can be rough, I did 8 weeks of it b4 I found out I was preggers. Push ups, sit ups and running are the core things you will need to have down pat start with doing the Girl version of push ups to build up your arms. If you have weights use them to bulk up your arms

magnesium citrate---- get this it will clean you out I drank 10oz yesterday afternoon and wow I feel so much better. not the best tasting stuff but after not going for a while I had to get a little help. I have added 8oz of Plum juice to my daily diet now to help

since feb 3 I have lost 4 inches in my waist , im guessing it is from all the side crunches ive been doing.. and lost 1 inch in my hips but im not going to log but once a month for taping myself so i can go thru the bloating and issues all month and stuff

my husband and I just laughed so far with your comment.. but makes sooo much sense. makes you really stop and think about what we eat.

it was a great esp. and I live not too far from that guy here in Ga and it was all on the news channels

so do they make this in a larger batch , so if I wanted to cook with it or make tea?? Ive not heard of this product before

my son has to eat gluten free products per Dr orders since he is Autistic

you can put the potato in the freezer for a while to make it harder. a sweet potato is hard to turn into a home fry. in the restaurant we have a huge cutter that slams then so fast it cuts them into fries but we cant get those at home really. you can cut into larger dice size and know they do not take as long to cook as…

you can do it with a good knife skill but if your not comfy with doing it that way then get yourself a mandoline slicer. you can also use it for other raw veggies and it is easy to use and clean up

i make brunswick stew and freeze it by the pint. you can get my recipe from my chef blog: daywithchefjenn.blogspot.com just go thru the older post I also have a tomato basil garlic bisque

if you want potato do a oven roasted baby red dish dice them up toss them in some EVOO and season with herbs and some pepper

I too have GERD and have a hard time handling anything that has red tint to it. I try to only eat chicken, and some small portions of pasta. Pizza is a killer on the ol stomach , so if you want it make it at home so you can balance what goes on it juices are out too. OJ is the worse learn to eat slow, small portions so you…

i too gained my weight after marriage and having a kid.

he is on my friend list.. thanks!! however he had lapband. which can be removed I had my stomach cut and stapled.

why is anything over 30 mins a waste?

bump this sounds so much better than flour dough... as for the cals im guessing use the database for the items and then a 10 inch pie is cut into 6 slices. so then it should balance out what is in it. either way it is way better than other stuff out there

ive battled with low blood sugar since high school and OJ seems to help me, only about 4-6oz. or eat some food. that way you are taking in a more nature sugar and not a sugary man made food. if that makes sense

yeah i know this feeling but in a different way. my goal is only 175 and that makes me a size 12 but it still puts my BMI in a high range I dont want to be super thin and a big boned person and ppl just dont understand that. they tell me your so tall you could be so thin so fast. Im almost 5'10. I have to say that I dont…
