  • I know that it everyone says you should eat your exercise calories and I love having a few extra calories to eat when I exercise but on my new elliptical....I burn over 1,000 in my 30 minute workout so....I was really nervous about what to do because I simply cannot eat the amount of healthy food I would need to to eat…

  • Check the sodium! When I went there with my coworkers I just ended up eating a house salad because it wasn't worth it to me to take in all that sodium. But...if you are going to treat yourself, which is definitely deserved once in a while, just make sure you check the sodium as well as the calories. Have fun!

  • Nope just stay under your calorie goal for the day and you will still lose weight. Plus, your body needs some time to recover! Remember that weight loss is way more about what you eat than working out...so this is not going to hurt you. Just keep paying attention to your calories and make sure you are getting your calories…

  • Cook an onion and green pepper on the stove. Buy fat free refried beans and whole wheat 96% fat free tortillas. Put beans, and cooked onions and peppers in the tortilla and it makes a DELICIOUS burrito. Super low fat and low calorie.
    in favorite low cal/low fat/healthy recipe? Comment by agoessli February 2011
  • One of my favorites is to buy fat free refried beans, whole wheat 96% fat free tortillas, a green pepper and an onion. I cook the green pepper and onion in a pan on Sunday and then put beans, onions, and peppers in the tortilla and heat it up for lunch. I usually take some sort of fruit to go with it for lunch. It's REALLY…

  • O.K. guys! I need some advice...again!:blushing: Since I have so much that I want to lose by the time I get married (September 30th of this year) I was going to wait until early June to go dress shopping in hopes that I will have lost a significant amount of weight by then. Is this a bad idea? Should I go sooner? It seems…

  • Brides on a Mission: week 5 1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 4 lbs!

Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just…

We are having a traditional church wedding and expecting 175 guests....that being said my initial goal was to stay under 10,000 (it's hard to keep it low with so many people) but my mom wanted to upgrade some things so we are probably going to end up spend…

  • Another thing that seems really hard when you go out to eat is portion size! You can ask for a to go box before your meal and as soon as your food arrives put half in the box and get it out of sight...that way you won't be tempted to eat most than one serving. This works for me and it's just a suggestion....find something…
