I'm always naughty! :wink: I feel so guilty when I cheat. I spend all day at college and the junk they sell is sooooo tempting! It has been taking some time for me to improve my eating habits. It didn't happen over night. Now on the (almost daily) occasion that I still cheat I carefully think about it FIRST. I walk away…

I am in a similar situation. I am a pre-service teacher and between classes and observations/field experience (and of course the homework and lesson planning), I have almost no time or energy for exercise. So a couple things I started doing: taking the stairs up to the third floor winds me but it's better than the…

Great suggestion! And don't forget to drink LOTS of water today as well!

Definitely C. A new day starts a new calorie count. Do what you normally would do as far as food and exercise and learn from yesterday's off-day. We all have those days every once in awhile :laugh:

I was doing slimfast for awhile. Shake for breakfast then a normal lunch and normal dinner. a couple of slimfast snack bars during the day. But I found that I was just waaaaay too hungry by lunch and would often binge. so now i have a fiber one granola bar (90cal) for breakfast and just watch my calories all day. i'm doing…

cut up the asparagus into bite-sized pieces then roast with a little EVOO, lemon juice and some seasonings. Toss cooked pasta with a tiny bit of EVOO and same seasonings as asparagus (or a little low-fat ricotta cheese if you have it. mix it with hot pasta and a touch of pasta cooking water til it gets creamy) then add…

I'm starting today! So excited/nervous. I'll request you. And yes, from what I've learned on this site, you should eat the calories you burn.

Wow! That sounds fantastic. Those stupid commercials are starting to get to me. I pass a Wendy's on my way to school and have been soooo tempted to get one of those new sandwiches. Now I don't have to! I think I"ll use my abundant supply of Greek Yogurt instead of the Ranch but I can't wait to try it! Thanks!

Does anyone know what the calories burned would be? I want to try and get fairly accurate with tracking my exercise

Hi All! I bought the DVD last year and did it every other day for almost a week and then crapped out. :grumble: But if it's not too late I'd love to join you guys and try again. I've heard some great things about the results people have gotten and I could really use something to help jump start my weight loss. I'll do it…

It should be available at most supermarkets. I have even seen it at Target and Walmart in their grocery sections. It's usually in the same section as the plain yogurt or sometimes even near the cottage cheese. It has a rich, tangy flavor and thick, creamy texture. Quite similar to sour cream but lower in cals and higher in…

These have been my tips to help me deal with my family's eating: Check out "Deceptively Delicious." It's a great cookbook with tips and tricks on how to be sneaky when incorporating more veggies into meals. Also, make sure there are plenty of veggies at the table, even if you're the only one eating them. But try different…

Wow! Yup sounds like some people I know... sad isn't it? She should be happy and supportive of you. But that's ok, cuz we are! Now go kick butt! The situation may not be an ideal motivator but if it's working for you go with it!!! =D

I did something very similar but it was more like a Caesar dressing (obviously you'll want to omit the anchovies and parmesan cheese): 1 cup 0% Greek yogurt (Fage or Trader Joe's) 1 garlic clove 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese 1/8 cup of white vinegar 1/8 cup of FRESH lemon juice 1 tsp of fresh cracked pepper 2-3…
