  • Looking at your diary, you may be eating at maintenance level. There are several days you went over your calories and you didn't log over the weekends. Since you eat out every day, I would go the the restaurant's website and look at the nutritional data so you know what you are going to eat in advance. For example, you…

  • If you like egg sandwiches you can make up a bunch on the weekend on the stove top, wrap the sandwich up in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. Then when you are ready to eat them take off the plastic wrap, wrap them in a paper towel and then microwave them for about a minute. I do this so my 10 year old son can make…

  • You are my new hero!! I just had brain surgery in September 2012 to remove a benign brain tumor. I have a really cool scar behind my left ear. Thank you for inspiring me to keep at this weight loss journey.

  • Honestly, if moving down the scale is your goal I would go with Turbo Fire. I have never done it, but I have done Chalean Extreme. I only lost 3 lbs in 90 days, but I did lose a lot of inches. It will make you stronger.

  • If you live in a dorm, take the stairs every time instead of the elevators. Walk briskly to class. Make good choices if you eat in the cafeteria. Remember that it is most likely institutional frozen and reheated food so it will be loaded with fat and sodium. Like someone else said, alcohol and late night fast food is one…

  • Tamilee Webb makes a good one called Tamilee Webb's Total Stretch. It's classified as "athletic stretch" so it's not yoga. I got mine at collagevideo.com

  • I've been working from home full time for almost 12 years. That's part of the reason why I'm here on MFP, you don't need quarters to get a snack or pop at home! I've hard to get rid of the junk food. I also exercise first thing in the morning. That insures that I will shower and get dressed for the day. A few months ago my…

  • US Wellness and Tropical Traditions are 2 places that I have ordered grassfed beef online. I've gotten chuck roast and ground beef and they've been really good. Better prices than the natural food stores. eatwild.org can tell you local options too.

  • Are you logging everything you eat? Your diary shows you're only eating 2 meals a day and there's nothing on the weekends. You might be eating more than you realize if you're not logging everything. I find I do better when I log everything I plan to eat in the morning, that way I can just check to see what I can eat next.…

  • I agree it's really important to take measurements on CLX. I lost maybe 4 lbs, but I lost a ton of inches and increased my strength. So don't get discouraged. I'm doing the original Power 90 right now but I plan on doing CLX again after that.

  • I used to drink 7 cans of regular Coke a day. I gradually weaned myself down to 5 then 3 now I am down to one first thing in the morning. (I don't like coffee so it's my caffeine fix) The calories were killing me! At first I rotated from drinking a can of coke then a glass of sweet tea (which is same calories as a coke!)…

  • With all the free resources available, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a "must have"; however, I LOVE my fitbit one. Seeing the pie chart on their website showing me how active I am is a huge motivator! I use a treadmill desk while I work 8-10 hours and it still shows that I am 45-50% sedentary because when I'm not working…

  • I have the low level Polar HRM that does not tell you calories burned, so I have to manually find out my numbers to enter them into MFP. I use this calculator:http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx That gives me the gross calories burned including my RMR, so…

  • I work from home and have a treadmill desk so I walk and work at the same time. I usually set it at 1% incline and 2.0 mph. I can walk for about 90 mins straight before I have to take a break. When I used to go to the gym I would walk 3.5-4.0 mph at 3-5% incline for about 30 mins. I get bored on the treadmill, that why I…
