You can lose weight by eating junk and just cutting back. Some of my closest friends eat a vending machine bag of chips for lunch, lots of ramen noodles and lots of beer and have always been thinner than me who always ate mostly healthy foods. I was always the chubby one even though I ate good foods and worked out. I just…

I only feel guilty if I didn't enjoy it for whatever reason. If it wasn't as good as I remembered then I feel like it was such a waste of calories. But if it was really tasty and hit the spot and I was still within my goal for the day, then no!

I agree! While I can get frustrated at times I rarely b**** about them. Maybe vent to my husband on a bad day. I guess I have known way too many that have lost babies, children and unborn babies that I never take it for granted. I am no baby pusher, if its not your dream to have children, don't do it! It always was my…

I have 3 daughters, 8,6 and almost 3. We would love to have at least one more but not sure if it will happen:( I really really want it to happen though!

Have you tried Skinny Girl Margaritas?

Good to hear!

Day 8 is done for me. I usually do each level for 10 days but I see others don't? I like level 1 and 2 but not 3 so I like to drag the 1st two out a little. I don't feel like level 3 is hard enough plus I guess I like the exercises better on the first two levels. Right now I walk for an hour a day plus can have an active…

Great, thanks! I will still work on lowering it a bit for most days but not over think it either :wink:

Do you happen to have the link to the eat more group? I have been looking for it!

I am seriously pissed that I don't think that way and didn't do that myself. 3.5 million? That is insane.....

I was planning on starting it on May 1st anyway so I'm in!

I used to be really bad about this! But I notice lately that I have loosened up some on that.

I have always enjoyed being active and eating healthy. As a kid I would beg my Mom to make spinach and brussel sprouts. I still eat brussel sprouts and spinach 6-7 days a week along with many other vegetables and fruit. Its hard for me to go even one day with out some sort of physical activity. Even on a rest day I find…

I am a meat eater but I love to always try new things. My all time favorite blog is Chocolate-Covered Katie. This is a vegan website with primarily desserts and breakfast recipes but she does have a list of actual meal recipes too. I make something from her site almost every single day and sometimes several times a…

That is heartbreaking.

I wish there was a Whole Foods near by, or a Trader Joes! I mostly shop at Super Target then Hy-Vee. Every so often I do shop at Walmart but Target's prices are about the same, sometimes slightly more or less but they have a much better variety.

The most I have run in one time is 7 miles. I ran everyday, miles varied for over a year and never had any problems. Now I take a break through the winter months and run in the nicer weather outside. Running outside is more enjoyable for me. I don't know if its my shoes or even how I land on my feet. I run lots of…

Oh I love what you said and how well you worded it. Good for you! I definitely would have given her the angry eye and a mean mug but I always get too shocked for words to say anything when someone says something so completely idiotic and out of line to me. Love it!

I would agree with you except she uses her body to make a name, to make her money. Her body is her career. You can't take only the good and not some of the bad. I would never call her fat, but her body type isn't ideal or the goal of every body. I personally like curves but not all people do.

I don't think she needs to necessarily lose weight so much as she could have more sculpting. Not body builder muscle but have more muscle definition. I think she just looks loose and flabby more than I would say fat.

I am not Paleo, but I do love many Paleo recipes! No judgement here. I feel whatever works for someone, that's their business. Many people use MFP, lose weight, fall off the wagon then come back. They are all diet tools. They work when you put the work in. I like keeping lower starchy carbs mainly because I feel so much…

This picture is the same exact one used on Foodnetwork.com for their version which is 200 cals. I would still be willing to try this recipe but know that they my not look anything like the pic.

I drink my tea plain but in coffee if I need a sweetener I add coconut flower sweetener or I might use maple sugar.

I agree, the slapping a man thing is stupid. I teach my daughters to defend themselves when appropriate but if they ever hit someone, always be prepared they might hit you back and even harder so think twice if they are going to hit them first.

Also check The Doctors forums and this list: http://tksinclair.com/?page_id=267 The person who made this list was also one of the participants on The Doctors for the 17DD. She clarifies the calorie myth. You are not suppose to ever go hungry. If you are hungry, you eat from the foods list. The book says unlimited and means…

I don't have any sodium issues and most of the foods I eat are made by me anyway but I buy a low sodium cottage cheese, I love cottage cheese and its just nice to have another option. Thanks!:flowerforyou:

I would think mainly the benefit would be getting it done and out of the way. Sometime it depends on the workout and the person. My friend runs on an empty stomach because otherwise she feels sick to her stomach. I perform better if I eat a little something 30 minute or so before any workout. I used to run first thing in…

I really like this quote by J.K. Rowling. Short of health reasons, I wish being overweight wasn't such a negative thing. I am within my healthy BMI but I am at an awkward in between size that I am uncomfortable with. I was more comfortable and self-confident when I was larger! " Is being fat really the worst thing a human…

I usually make balls but making them into cookies sounds like a great idea!

I love sun-dried tomatoes and feta!!
