I wear a pedometer because my physical activity changes dramatically day to day and that helps because I walk a ton. I usually find that if I can get 200-300 cal for breakfast, the rest of the day goes smoother. For lunch, a simple sandwich tends to be lowest in calories... wheat bread, turkey breast, miracle whip....…

Holy Moly! You rock!

I realize what it does. I was more concerned with hearing what people who actually have used it think. I'm mostly concerned about fixing my posture since it makes my stomach look a lot bigger than it is.

from my understanding, your net should be 1200.

You can't go wrong when historians do comedy!

you can try different flavors or get a cappuccino! they should have sugar free hazelnut there, which would be another healthier alternative. also, i'd imagine they could concoct a skinny frap since they now allow customized ones.

i like to make something I call tamale pie by slicing up a polenta loaf into medallions. I line the medallions along the bottom of a square pan. Then I smear refried beans on top of that until its covered. Then I add verde enchilada sauce on top and smother the whole thing with mexican cheese. I imagine you could put meat…

You should pass it on! I walk everywhere instead of driving to keep in shape. I see people jogging past me everyday and I always cheer them on with a "You're doing great! Keep running! You can do it!" It makes them smile and me smile. Good stuff.

In response to the person above me, as a very short hair person, I absolutely agree with you! I'm not some glamorous girl and I don't have perfect skin. Some days, I look like a lesbian and guys don't really pay any attention to me since I got my hair cut. (Not that I need a guy's approval.. this is just an observation.) I…

what about fruit? I like to make a salad out of very thinly sliced apples instead of lettuce sometimes. i throw in some halved tomatoes, a couple of walnuts pieces and maybe even a sprinkling of feta cheese with some light italian dressing on top. its a good blend of flavors.

Thanks you guys! These are all great great great ideas!

Personally, I think the 30 Day Shred is a great way to get into exercise. Since its 20 minutes, its easy to fit into your schedule and, at its most grueling, you can always remind yourself that your daily session will be over in a few minutes. Also, even if it doesn't burn a whole ton of calories, it does make you more in…

If I were in that position, I would stick to mainly fruits/vegetables. No processed foods at all. Eat small portions of chicken/fish for protein (about the size of a deck of cards). I would switch out one meal a day with a green smoothie or juice. Make sure you keep your calories under 1200, but I'm sure you'll still get…

Are you stretching? Like REALLY well? This is a common problem among ballet dancers who don't stretch, so I wonder if it applies to your situation.

Just a guess, but it sounds like your meals are poorly spaced out. You should try having something light around noon. Personally, I've come up with several recipes for 100 calorie half sandwiches for just when i'm having that problem!

You should try to get it at a harder level so that its easier to do your walk in June.

It won't help you to actually lose weight but it will help with your digestion. A quick google search could tell you that if you'd like more specific info, by the way.

Sea kelp helps your hair and nails grow like crazy. Your hair will shoot out of your head. Some b vitamins have similar effects. But there is no such thing as "vitamin b." There are only b vitamins (b12, b6, biotin, etc.). Biotin will also make your hair grow super fast. Some b vitamins can help with speeding up your…

I have a huge canister of nutritional yeast in my pantry. It is really nothing like nacho cheese. Its more like stinky feet cheese. However, you can use it to make mac n cheese that is pretty decent tasting if you mix it with other things, like soy sauce and sugar. (don't quote me on using those ingredients though.) I…
