1 Cup of Cereal (Special K, Cheerios, Total Raisin Bran, Rice Crispies... a cereal that is not high in surgar and is low in calories) 1/2 Cup Skim Milk 1 Fruit (Sliced Banana, 1 Cup Sliced Strawberries, Peach, Apple, Orange)

I'm trying to follow a low calorie diet - these items are always on my shopping list. Skim Milk Low Calorie Cereal (Life, Special K, or Cheerios) Low Calorie Yogurt (Dannon Light and Fit, or Dannon Light and Fit Greek) Arizona Diet Blueberry Green Tea Thin n Trim Deli Meats Purdue Perfect Portions Blueberries &…

It's the only way I can drink water... I count it as water and I just add the calories... just note that one packet isn't 5 calories... I think the packet says 5 calories for 1/2 serving and then one serving is one packet..... so one packet is really 10 calories.

My co-worker recommended this website to me: http://www.thedoctorstv.com/forums/527-17-Day-Diet-Recipes

Chobani - I love the Strawberry Banana Chobani and Dark Cherry Chobani... Pineapple Chobani is good too.

I found this link this morning... 5 Best and Worst Sweeteners http://www.rodale.com/best-sweeteners

Stick to one scale and try weighing yourself first thing in the morning before you eat - with the same clothes on or nothing on at all.

I fill my meals in the day before - it helps me stay on-track.

You'll probably have to look at the calorie count for your breakfast and lunch and find alternatives that have less calories but are filling. One tip I have is to enter your meal into MFP before you eat it. That way you can see the total calorie count for that one meal and make adjustments. Sometimes for breakfast I'll…

Nice idea! Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome, Awesome Job!

I think I gained 5lbs when I went there a year ago, and that was because I had the deluxe dining plan and felt like I needed to eat everything (each of us were entitled to our own appetizer, dinner, desert and wine) in addition to all of the snacks! Just remember you'll also be walking around the park so you'll be burning…

Here are some tips that worked for me. In no way am I a dog expert but my trainer really gave us great tips and our dog, who is 3 now, has a great bathroom routine down. 1. Just be prepared, the puppy will have accidents and don't get angry or upset with them when they do. 2. As soon as you catch them going to the bathroom…

Having planned snacks is good. If you eat a healthy snack between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner, it'll help to keep your metabolism going. But I drink lots of water w/ Crystal Light to try to curb myself from over-snacking.

I need some inspiration! What goals did you set for yourself so you were able to work up to a mile?

I'm halfway to my goal - which obviously doesn't appear to be much in my tracker below, but my progress motivated me to buy a bikini from old navy... actually I ordered one pair of bottoms in Navy with White Polka Dots, and then I ordered the bikini halter top AND the tankini top in the same pattern... that way if I'm…

Wow, awesome, awesome job.

Multivitamins intended for adults make me sick to my stomach as well. I've heard you should try to drink a lot of water when taking vitamins but that hasn't helped me... so I swapped to Flinestones Chewables... They taste yummy and my Dr. even said that's a good substitute.

Up... I know it sounds rediculous but the first 10-15 minutes break my heart.

I have either... 1 Serving of Penne Pasta, with 1 plum tomato diced and 10 pieces of Shrimp all sauteed together in EVOO. or 2 Cups of Northeast Spring Mix with 1 Plum Tomato and 1 Skewer of Grilled Shimp (about 10 pieces) and 2 Tbsp of Market Basket California French Dressing (low fat) or 3 to 6oz of Chicken - Purdue…

I have to buy them... but I just have to eat them in moderation... 1 cookie a night with a low calorie hot chocolate :) mmm mmm good.

Yes, and I've found that if I drink a lot of water I'm not bloated. I'm trying to keep up with the water intake but its difficult.

What has helped me is tracking my progress in a notebook. I weigh myself and measure my waist every week and I'm motivated when I see I've lost weight and my waist has shrunk a half inch. As much as I hate exercising, this always keeps me motivated. Also, try different work out activities. I liked using the Wii Active at…

I feel like you - so I started using workout games on the Wii and xbox... and it's so much better. Since it's cold outside right now, I don't walk like I did during the summer, but I eventually worked up the confidence to go walking outside for 30 minutes almost every day as well. So maybe try investing in a Wii, and…

I got the kinect and Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 for Christmas - I love it. I had been using the Wii Active prior to this and I love not having to hold controllers while I work out. I also find I sweat a lot more using Shapre Fitness - especially the cardio kickboxing. I like the Yoga and Zen Energy exercises but the…

I just started the Flat Belly Diet and I'm on day 3 of the Anti-Bloat Diet part of the FBD. I bought the book last Spring and it's been collecting dust at my house so with the new year, I figured I should get my butt in gear. I can tell I've lost weight in just three days. I've also been working out everyday to some extent…
