Pinterest is great for finding combinations of exercises to put together. I started using the machines at first because they are designed to help you maintain decent form. After awhile I switched to free weights because I can control the weight better and I feel like I get a better workout. Good luck!

My go to sweet treats are individually wrapped squares of really good dark chocolate - 72% or higher cacao, Outshine fruit bars and Fiber One Brownies. Also I found a recipe on PInterest for Weight Watcher cake or 1-2-3 cake that you make in a mug. That with a TBSP or 2 of FF Cool Whip is about 160 calories

I eat a 1200 calorie diet and I eat extra on the days I exercise. I have had days where I struggle to eat 1200 calories. These are days where I do not plan my meals and end up at dinner with 700 calories to eat before bedtime. If I plan my meals and prep everything ahead of time I usually do really good. Make sure you are…

Congrats on making a decision to be healthy! People here have been very helpful and supportive. Feel free to add me as a friend. I was in the same boat as you awhile ago. I would diet then stress would hit and I would eat whatever I felt like. The thing that has helped me was to stop looking at this as a "diet". I have…

I still have a box of the lemon ones from last year that I just barely opened and I have only had a few - one day when I was low on calories and needed a sweet treat. I made my teenage son buy his own when he asked for them and told him to hide them from me. I do not want to be tempted. The only sweets I really eat right…

If I am going on my way home I use a duffel bag. I got a great deal on a Nike bag at Target. In that bag I keep the following. Workout clothes Hand towel Swim suit and…

I sort of do a combination. I usually pre-cut, measure and package my proteins when I bring them home from the store and freeze them (raw). This allows me to quickly defrost something when I get home. I also pre-cook enough protein for a few days. I used to prep for a whole week but found that I got bored with what I was…

I love my coffee creamer and could not imagine drinking my coffee without it. I recently tried the new Coffeemate Thin Mint variety and it is soooo yummy :)

I just use what MFP shows me for my calorie output. I don't have an HRM or anything fancy like that so I guess based on what MFP provides. I do track - I just don't always have time to enter it here. The stuff I enter here is stuff I have preplanned the night before or if I have time during the day. I am super busy so I…

Thanks everyone. I know my shoes need to be replaced but this happens even when I bought my last pair shoes - which were Ascics gels. My feet don't hurt when I walk or run, but when I use the elliptical my feet start to go numb - which could also have to do with my pinched sciatic nerve. I think I am going to try and see a…
