I am one who believes that as long as it fits into your calories you shouldn't have to pass it up. But if it is just a matter of you wanting to give it up to fit in more healthy foods then I would slowly move yourself away from it. Maybe start at one night a week eating a healthier snack and slowly move to two nights a…

Yes! I was surprised too! It was the only bad thing about losing weight and I was so upset lol. I now have hundreds of dollars worth of shoes (yes, I am one of those girls when it comes to shoes) that are about 10 more pounds away from being so big they're unwearable. It is quite sad :(

I would love to run, but just cannot seem to do it. I have been walking for years now (even before my weight loss goals to help minimize knee pain) and I have noticed that it doesn't speed up the weight loss as much as I would like, but you are buring calories so it helps. However, if you are doing a nice solid and brisk…

bump!

I weigh daily for most of the reasons stated, but there is another that I have relied on heavily. When I weigh in I take note of what I ate the previous day. The morning after I eat beans or salty foods I am a pound or two up. I make note of this because when an event comes around I like to know this so I am not bloated…

Are you allowing yourself to have these things in moderation when you are "being good"? If not, that might be an easy fix. Allow yourself to have a treat every now and again. That should stop the random, bad timed cravings. I have the problem with Chinese food. I love it. It is my favorite, but if I don't let myself have…

I agree that 1100 is too few calories. It is said that 1200 should be absolute minimum, but it all depends on how active you are. I am at 1200 calories a day but I work a desk job. Have you done any type of calculations? If you stick with this number I would definitely recommend eating back exercise calories. Like pp said,…

[/quote] They can--until they don't, and then you wind up in the hospital with a full-blown kidney infection. I'm not saying don't try to stave it off with fluids and cranberry, but if it last more than a day or two, just take the antibiotics. [/quote] Thank you!! This is the SAFEST way!

Like everyone else said - check out websites. Applebees does a great job on their nutritional menu. I realized how few calories were in their steak meal (8oz I think?) and I go with that every time. On a side note: It sounds like it is for a special occasion, so maybe go a little nuts..? I mean don't eat everything in…

I started with Insanity. Don't do that :smile: lol. I went to 30 Day Shred after that and it was a good beginner dvd. It will definitely kick your butt, but the individual workout moves aren't difficult in any way. And its only about 25 minutes beginning to end which is a huge plus in my opinion!

Antibiotics are the safest way to get rid of one that is already set in, even if there might be some natural ways to try to get rid of it. If you are just starting to get symptoms, by all means use natural ways, but once it is set in as a full blown UTI it is safest to do the five days of antibiotics. If drinking water and…

I don't know if the doctor was correct or not (I sure hope so :( ) but she had told me that the cranberry pills take 3-4 weeks to "line your bladder", which is what prevents or helps prevent UTIs. So they might not be the best treatment when you already have a full blown infection. Definitely recommend them as a prevention…

Short term (just while you have the UTI) your best replacement is simply A LOT of water. Thinking long term (if you get them quite often) start taking cranberry pills. I swear by them! They are available most places that have a vitamin section. If you are not against medication I would also go to the doctor if you havn't.…

BUMP! Thank you!!!!

I started Insanity awhile back until my knees started having more issues than normal. I made it through three and a half weeks though and I actually gained weight for the first two and then lost a couple pounds and stayed at that for the last week and a half. I would say you are still building muscle. If you stuck with the…

Bump!

Have you been a little more active in any way? Even something as small as an "out of the ordinary" shopping trip can do it once your body gets used to a routine. Or (personal question), your time of the month (now or coming soon)? Both of those can make a major difference.

My fiance asked me out to a local place that is doing a steak dinner for two special. I was hesitant at first knowing it would probably put me over and then I realized that it is Valentines Day! - It is once a year (and we RARELY get nice nights together). So, I decided that I was going to have a nice date with my fiance…

So, I have not done a whole lot of videos but I have done a semi-beginner one and a semi-extreme one so I have experienced the two. I actually started my routine with Insanity. I would not recommend doing this. It is a great video if you don't have any body issues or injuries, but I recommend working up to it (I was really…
