Peel and chop them. Boil until just tender. Chop broccoli and onions. Sautee sweet potato, broccoli and onions. Add 1tsp of soy sauce and 1tbsp of honey.

Hell to the no! Would you scream at a stranger for no reason?

Yep

Butter drizzled popcorn at the movies. Favorite band to see live?

Small Town, Michigan

Yes. As long as she shares her gummy bears!

Quinoa. I never tried it before starting this journey. I'm amazed at how healthy it is. Not super tasty so I usually boil it in chicken or vegetable broth. My new love is avocados. I eat them like crazy.

I am a Respiratory Therapist and see patients with sleep apnea all the time. To my knowledge there is no known medication to take to prevent or treat sleep apnea. There are two (main) kinds of sleep apnea, obstructive and central. Central sleep apnea is caused from the way the brain functions and can't be fixed by simply…

Here is what I found about artificial sweeteners and weight gain/loss. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892765/

I used to log it under Cardio, as circuit training.

As with what other posts say, it is all about caloric reduction. Some people can lose while eating fast food and junk food, while others do it eating food that is more nutrient dense. It depends what works with your lifestyle. I switched to a mostly clean diet about 5 months ago. I have lost 26 pounds in those 5 months,…

I make a Strawberry Banana Oatmeal smoothie that I love. 1 Banana 5-6 Strawberries 1/3 C Plain nonfat greek yogurt 1/2 C Unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/4 C Oatmeal 1TBSP Flaxseed Ice ~275 Calories and quite filling Or a good fall smoothie is a pumpkin one 1/3 C Pumpkin puree 1 C Unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1 Frozen…

I didn't use C25K, but something similar. It's an app called Ease into 5K. Same idea though. It works! I started 4 months ago. I didn't (couldn't) run. The first week I thought I would die just from running for 1 minute at a time. Now 4 months later I run 6.5 miles without stopping. It's worth a try.

I'm from a smaller town about an hour north of Grand Rapids. Sending you a request now. :)

I am not ashamed to admit, being from Michigan I am a Lions fan. And Calvin Johnson is the man!! I swear he can catch anything.

I buy the flavored k cups as well. I just add a splash of milk. If I brew regular coffee, I brew a good brand and put some unsweetened vanilla almond milk in it. I was like you. I had a little coffee with my sugar/creamer. I could drink them all day long until I realized how many calories I was drinking. It took me about 3…

I'm 5'1" and I'm aiming for 130, but we'll see from there. Maybe a pound or two more or less. My goal is a shirt I really want to wear. :)

I am having the opposite problem. I am wondering if my FT4 is calculating low. I went to the link above and calculated my exercise and it shows higher than my ft4 does. According to my hrm I burn ~475 calories from my run. I run about 6mph for 1 hour. The site said I should have burned ~588 and other calorie burning sites…

How did it burn that much? I have done both 30DS and Ripped in 30 while using my heart rate monitor. I'm lucky if I hit 100 calories burned. The first day I started it I burned ~165, now it's closer to 85.

While running I have to listen to rap. I need something fast paced for me to push myself. If slow songs come on, I notice myself slowing down. Give me some Tupac and I'm in heaven!

Coffee and Peanut Butter. I eat PB every single day.

I updated my profile to increase my calories by 100 per day. I'm not totally sure how the tdee thing works. I did an online calculation which showed my BMR to be around 1448. My TDEE is 2118. If I am calculating this right then 15-20% defecit would be 1695-1801, but then I don't think I eat back my exercise calories…

I'm up for it! :)

My diary is accurate, except for Monday. I forgot to log after lunch. Thanks for the responses. I will try to increase calories a bit and add more veggies to see if that helps. I noticed today that when I had a cup of coffee today it seemed to curb some of the hunger. Not sure why that works better than water but being a…

I eat "cleaner". I avoid heavily processed food like the plague. I eat tons of fruits and veggies, and things that are as close to natural as I can find in my little podunk town. :) When I switched to this I found a website that was very helpful, thegraciouspantry.com It does work. I have lost weight before eating junk and…
