Plan ahead. Don't drink your calories. Avoid the telling words: creamy, crispy, battered, tempura etc. With nicer restaurants you can ask that they substitute a side for vegetables and make sure that you ask that the veggies be steamed. Many places will cook it in butter or some other fat if you don't. Get salad dressings…

Very possible but healthy? Hmmm... I did it by cutting out breads, pasta, rice and white potatoes from my diet and significantly increasing the amount of vegetables and lean proteins that I eat. However, I had a significant amount to loose and the help of a nutritionist to do it. If you do try it note that in the beginning…

I was heavy all of my life, getting heavier every year and nothing ever worked. I was really feeling bad about myself and finally said 'screw it! If I can't win then I'm eating whatever I want and dying happy'. After my doctor gave me another you need to loose weight speech without bothering to even examine me I finally…

If they are liscensed then sure. I was always told calories in calories out but there was really so much more that was going on for me. My gym offers a progam that has a group of about eight working with a trainer three days a week and included a nutritionist one day a week. I have a hormone imbalance that she was able to…

Welcome! Good luck but remember that the average person looses about .5 to 2 pounds per week and does face plateaus so don't get discouraged. It took me about two years to loose 65lbs but I hope it goes faster for you. I have hip problems too and I found that water aerobics became a good way to strengthen it and to work my…

Why wouldn't you eat them every day? :) Its delish. I could put it on everything. I normally eat it with my salad every day and I just don't have the salad dressing. Way more tasty

I think its more that with what you're eating its more likely that you are unintendedly giving yourself sugar highs and when you hit the sugar crash you are going for that coke to compensate. It cycles

Why toast? You're going to burn through that quick most probably. That turns to sugar in your system: a high, fast but unsustaining burn. The apple is also sugar even though its more nutritious, you need a protien to complement it. I normally pair it with about 5oz yogurt and some trailmix (granola/cashew blend) for a few…

I had a HRM (Motorola Motoactv) and it was a complete waste of money. It came with a blue tooth sync to a monitoring strap that went around my ribs and when I used it in a gym setting and it would sync with the machines around me it instead of to me. It worked maybe one out of ten times. Most times it stayed at a heart…

Wearing the towel is fine and wearing a bathing suit is even better. I'm talking about the people who take the towel off and just use it to sit their butt on the bench (and even one I saw who did not even do that much) and then sit there leaning back with their legs wide open sitting right across from me. I had that happen…

Yes! a chance for me to finally get this off my chest: Why are you stretching in the cramped area behind my treadmill when there is an open and spacious streching area 10 feet away? Your not fooling anyone creep. Don't take up multiple machines at the same time, especially when the gym is full and that is the only working…

I had the same problem of not being able to eat in the morning too. To change my habits I started having about seven almonds and a scoop of vanilla whey protein poweder mixed with some english breakfast tea. It kick starts my body and gets my metabolism going so that I have more time to burn through the day. I'd follow…

Red meat. I know people say I should cut down but is just so good. And saints help me but grilling season is coming!

Hi Elssha, first let me take a moment to geek out over your avatar. I love Captian Hitsugaya! As fas as Dannon I don't know about the nutritional quality but the taste is definiely not as good as Chobani or Fage. Its better then the Yoplait though. I think the best of the Greek Yogurt is the black cherry one that comes out…

Keep hanging in there. It takes a little bit but you'll have your moment of triumph. I've been going to the same doc for a few years now and she always gives me the same 'you need to loose weight speech'. This time around she walked in without even looking at me, started in on her speech, looked an my chart, then at me,…

Hope your knee feels better. I'm there with you. Believe me, I've had that thought before but YOU CAN"T GIVE UP! I won't go over the calorie thing because that looks like its already been hit to death but I will add: maybe your mind AND body are bored? Have you tried mixing up your routine? Throw in some yoga, some…
