  • The guy is famous. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why her parents would agree to it.
  • Pretzel logs. While it may sounds delicious to take a cheese steak and stuff it into a soft pretzel and then roll it in butter and salt... I just have no desire to eat them. My husband loves the dang things. Lol Beer. I used to drink a lot of beer, but over the last couple of years I've wanted it less and less and now it…
  • I agree that if you're taking that long to walk a mile, then you're not walking at 5-6 mph. I jog regularly and my average pace is around 5.5-6 mph. It only takes me about 10 minutes to do a mile. If you're going over 4.5 mph, then you're jogging, not walking. Unless you have some kind of awesome speed walking skills we…
  • Ps. You can always drink goat's milk. It's easier to digest than cow's milk and tastier.
  • http://wellnessletter.com/html/wl/2002/wlFeatured1102.html UC Berkelely has this to say: "Breast cancer: The high intake of soy foods in Asian countries has long been credited, at least by some researchers, for the lower rate of breast cancer among Asian women, compared with women in countries where little soy is consumed.…
  • I seriously do not limit myself as long as I keep within my daily calorie goal. I am almost to maintenance. I have about 2-3 lbs left so I'm losing slowly to adjust to eating more during the day. I've also been running lately and that gives me a lot more calories than I'm used to. I love food and I won't eat crap if I can…
  • I haven't been able to burn that many. I use an HRM and even when I run for 45-50 minutes and then do my strength ab circuit and my push ups AND practice some of my karate, the most I've burned is a little over 800 for a little over an hour. And that's not subtracting the calories I'd burn doing nothing, which drops it to…
  • There are a lot of posts on this, but your NET calories should always be at least 1200. That's what I've heard, that's what I've read. That's what I believe. I eat enough calories back to be at least over 1200 net. Usually when i work out, I run and do some strength training so I'll burn around 600-700 in a day.
  • This is a neat question! There are some foods that hold no interest for me. I also do not drink regular soda. I was not really allowed it as a child and if I was, it was diet caffeine free and it was one per day. I really try not to drink any calories at all. Only diet and then only one a day or none at all. I love coffee…
  • Customer Service Rep for the Fed Government. I'm about to start a training program to become a Massage Therapist and once I am certified, I won't be sitting at a desk ever again unless it's in my own office at my own practice!!
  • Do you have an Android phone? I have an app that was free called Jogtracker. It logs your distance using GPS and your speed and pace. I use it and listen to music with it. The calories burned will not be accurate on the Jogtracker even if you set your personal info into it. Mine is never accurate. I have a HRM for calories…

  • that is just bizarre. :huh:
  • If you have your activity level set to sedentary, then you can log all of your exercise and it won't hinder you. I don't always log my walks. I walk to get lunch at work and I walk to the grocery store or the bakery or whatever. I don't really drive at all. I don't log all of my walking unless I'm going over on my…
  • I am always hungrier around this time. The scale also will show a gain of a few pounds when I really haven't gained. I usually take my weigh ins with a grain of salt the week before my period. I also try not to eat too much junk. I'll indulge and snack a little more, but I log everything and I try to stay under maintenance…
  • Kashi Go Lean Crunch with either vanilla soy milk or whole goat's milk! I like plain Cheerio's if I'm in a pinch.
  • Toss them in a little extra virgin olive oil put a little kosher salt, cracked pepper and fresh rosemary in there too. It will not be fat free but olive oil is a good fat and is heart healthy. Tasty and good for you. Can't ask for much more!
  • Most people, including me, will say that as long as your NET calorie intake is at least 1200, then you will be fine. You should never be eating less than 1200 consistently. I don't like to be under more than a couple hundred, and only then it's usually because of exercise and not because I didn't eat enough. You should…
  • You shouldn't feel guilty because you shouldn't go that long without eating! Bring snacks to work. I eat breakfast around 9, then a snack of a banana or apple around 10:30. Then lunch at 12:30-1. Then another snack of popcorn or fruit around 3:30. Then Dinner between 6-8 depending on what I'm cooking or if I'm running…
  • I run 3-5 times a weeks and I do my ab circuit and "100 push ups" 3 times a week. That is all the strength training that I do at the moment, but I do sometimes add in squats, lunges, etc. I have been feeling stronger and even though I gained a couple of pounds over the last month, I then lost those 2 pounds plus one more,…
  • This is a good idea! She might just be shy and not know what's in the area. My friends at work have no clue what's around the office and they've worked here 4 years longer than I have!! I have introduced them to some healthy options which they love. They just didn't know existed. They still eat junk a lot, but I still eat…
  • Look up the calories in the food she eats and email her the nutritional info. For ever single thing she eats. Lol. I wouldn't really do that because it's mean spirited, but I bet if she knew half of what she was putting into her body, she'd take a moment to reconsider. I smell bacon at work a lot which drives me crazy. I…
  • You look fantastic! Keep up the amazing work!
  • I just choose my exercise and then change the amount of calories. If you put in the time, it will automatically calculate for you, but you can just delete the number of calories and put what you really burned. If you want to log every exercise, just add each exercise and then divide the calories evenly among them. Like for…
  • It's the same as quitting smoking. I quit 3 years ago and I still think about it sometimes. I think about it much less, sure, but every now and then I hear, "I could really use a cigarette" pop into my head, before i say to myself, "Uh, we don't do that anymore, remember?" And then the urge goes away. It's the same with…
  • Is it only the app that's doing it? You might need to uninstall it and then reinstall it. It's supposed to give you a projected weight at 5 weeks, not 2. Do you have your activity level set properly and your goal set properly? If the website is accurate, it may just be that the app is defective.
  • Thanks everyone. I will just watch my calories more closely and not worry as much over the scale and pay more attention to how I feel and how my clothes are fitting. I really appreciate it. I know I made it sound like I've only been doing the strength training for a short amount of time. I've been doing an irregular…
  • You can also quick add calories for the difference. I do this if I'm in a hurry. I don't keep track of anything except calories though so if you're watching sodium or something, then it will be inaccurate...
  • I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Moe's Southwestern is way more delicious than Chipotle. :D

  • Dude! I totally would but I'm running in the Sounds of the Caribbean 5k that morning! Lol. Good luck finding someone!!
  • My whole fridge is full of Trader Joe's stuff. They have tasty fruit/ice cream bars that are only 80 calories. I get goat's milk brie and multi-grain crackers. I get fresh mangoes. The hummus is delicious. Baby carrots. Guilt reduced pita chips are fantastic. Organic vanilla soy milk. There's really nothing in the store…
