I make tea, usually flavored and add apple cider vinegar and some ginger. I enjoy the drink and don't taste the vinegar or ginger to much.

Thank you! You give me hope!!

I'm 33 and would like to drop 70 lbs

Hiking is how I broke my wrist in the first place. I've always loved it. Finding what you enjoy is always key to sticking with it!

I've still got a cast on my arm so I wanna make sure I'm cleared from the Dr first. I've been down for a little over a month now. I can't wait to be able to just do it.

If your up to dvds I highly recommend Chalean extreme from beachbody. I love this workout!

Thank you to everyone that responded! Your feedback helped answer some of my questions/concerns. :)

Thanks for your response. I went back and re-entered all my info on a different site and got 1875. The other number must have been to maintain my weight. I thought the number was for maintaining at the goal weight I put in (170). But now I'm sure I didn't read something right. This whole TDEE/MFP thing confuses me. It…

Congrats!! So very exciting!

*sigh* Yes, I LOVE subway! :) I still need to do grocery shopping for the week. I'll maybe just get a loaf of bread and make my own sandwich. Do you recommend the "light" version of breads or get the normal stuff? I have seen different brands have light and looks like for 2 slices its 40 cals. I get confused when looking…

I have recently found and fallen in love with overnight oats. I struggle with breakfast in the morning so something with little or no prep is what works for me. You mix this up the night before and stick it in the fridge then its ready when you are in the morning. For lunch I love subway. I need to start packing lunch…

Yes, this is probably a good idea since I haven't been to the doctor in about 2 years.

This makes sense as do the other responses that were given. Do you have any suggestions on a good snack to have shortly before working out? I had eaten probably about 3 hours before working out so it very well could have been I needed something else to eat. I did have quite a bit of water (48 oz) before working out so I…

I ended up not finishing the last 10 minutes because with each last rep I didn't feel right. Its been almost 2 years since I did this program and I vaguely remember feeling this way. At the time I had cut all sugar from my diet and assumed that it was low blood sugar then. Just being that it has been so long since I've…

Laying in bed not able to fall asleep and I make the decision to start lifting again. I have in the past done chalean extreme and loved it. I do better with home workouts so I'm sticking with what works. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll be starting that. I have to so im actually really excited!

Well...I went to be last night earlier than I normally do and I still didn't get up this morning. :/ I really am not a morning person! I struggle just getting up for work let alone getting up earlier than that. I have always liked working out later in the day. I think that is going to be what I do. I am going to pack a bag…

I'm so glad I'm not the only one :) I do get bored with the same thing all the time AND feeling like I'm always cooking/prepping my food for the next meal. I definitely need to get better at planning and prepping the night before so its not so much of a chore. I am trying for the first time overnight oats for breakfast in…

I just walking almost 1.5 miles this evening. Now I'm gonna get my workout clothes and breakfast around for the morning. I'm trying the overnight oats for the first time. It's got almond milk, dates, oats, vanilla extract, little bit of maple syrup for sweetness and some pecans. I was hoping to be more prepared for food…

True dat!

Thanks for the encouragement. You all have motivated me to just do it. I do have some short and long term goals but honestly I'm a little overwhelmed thinking about where I want to be a year from now. I want to not only be skinny but also fit. I want muscle and abs and a nice tush. My gym doesn't open until 5:30 so I plan…

Nothing other than the fact I'm not ready to be old yet. ;)

I'm in as well!

I've been doing the strength training dvd's of this program since May. I have LOVED it. I'm thinking of adding the cardio workous soon.

I'm withing 5-10 of my goal weight, although, I don't know if I'll want to stop there. I've noticed things starting to slow down now at this point. I've leaving for vacation on Saturday but once we get back I plan on hitting it hard! I'm going to do Chalean extreme. I've been doing the strength training portion of this but…

This is the kind of bread I use. Great tasting!

Awesome! Thanks for all the input! I love my chocolate milk!

I do very little cardio. I started doing Chalean extreme in May. I only do the lifting workouts though and haven't noticed that it's made me big and bulky. I've got nice definition in my arms and I've noticed everything else is slimming down nicely as well. Now...I hate cardio. I'd much rather workout 3X a week for about…

I looked right past the button to calculate yours. Thanks! I love subway and love that I can have a good idea of how many calories are in it with the way I like it!

Any of us that have kids understand what your going through. It takes time to get into a new routine after having a baby. I suggesting trying to prepare as much in advance as you can. Pick something for breakfast that you can grab real quick and eat while you are feeding the baby. I've mixed eggs, broccoli and cheese…

I don't know if I'm missing the tool to calculate total calories on the sandwich. Where do I find that on the subway website?
