When i first started running or using a treadmill i would up the time in weekly i tervals. This way you ease into it and gain confidence while protecting your body. I would walk at a brisk warm up pace for 5 min then for the first week everyday run for 10 min. then cool down for 5min. I eventually got up to an hour and…

If you are as active as you say you are I would not worry too much about your calories. Your metabolism is probably amazing and will work off not only 2 days worth of over eating but probably a months worth... But I agree about ditching the diet drinks. And Hey, we can all eat a little healthier. Unless, you're Dr. OZ

[Maybe it sounds ridiculous but I sort of want to do this on my own? } That doesn't sound ridiculous!!! But, It might be too hard to do this on your own in the beginning.

Honestly, I would try not to think of it as a "vacation from healthy eating". Food for most of us is an addiction, that is why we gain weight because it makes us feel good or we are super stressed and turn to something that gives us instant gratification. Not many heroine addicts would say "well, I am going on vacation so…

I love eating!!! Especially at night, so to satisfy my brain and kind of my tummy, I use my air popper and pop some plain popcorn seeds to avoid salt and fat. once in a while I sprinkle on some sea salt or a tsp parm. chz but this way I can snack while I watch a movie and I don't feel guilty. 4 cups of air popped corn is…

7-8 is ideal but also consider if you are getting at least 7(which is pretty good) and you are still exhausted make sure you aren't lacking any important vitamins in your diet. You might need a little more iron etc. I am not a nutritionist or anything but it might be something to consider. I have 4 kiddos and try to go to…

I have tried a lot of different shakes and I have found they are all nasty! Also, after I lost a little bit of weight from them, I would start eating normally again and then just gain the weight back. You are young and the best thing to do now is learn the right foods to eat and lose weight that way. Its a life change, not…

This may sound silly but eat before you go! At home, maybe make yourself a nice low fat sandwich (enough to fill you up and an apple or something and then at the restaurant order a large salad with dressing on the side or no dressing at all. I have done this a lot. This way you are social eating and don't feel weird or…

Pizza was always my downfall! When my husband and I first got married we ate pizza pretty much 2x a day bc it was soo cheap and easy! Now we only have it on Fridays and even so it is a healthy version. Also, you think the calories are bad????? Check out the sodium content...Seriously 2 pieces of pizza are a whole days…

Hey Fellow housewife :) I am a stay at home mom of 4 (we homeschool) and I tell ya, finding time for me to exercise is close to impossible but not impossible! When I started I too did not feel confident exercising outside so I went on craigslist and got a treadmill for cheap bc I knew that if I bought a new expensive one I…

Hi, I am not an expert at this by any means but I have been on MFP for a while with good results. If you are beginning at this I would recommend starting off with wanting to lose 1lb a week. Don't cut yourself short on calories too soon because then you are going to want to quit! That being said just start of exercising…

Yes, I cut out creamer completely which was hard but now I just have unsweetened almond milk (for some calcium and flavor) and I am so used to it now. It has really cut out a lot of un needed sugar!
