I have been eating lean cuisines for lunch. Not the healthiest, but they are portion controlled and lower calories and they do what I need. I eat fruits, nuts, oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. throughout the day. If you have a freezer at work, bring a prepared meal. At 2 bucks a smart one or lean cuisine, it gets you…

I guess it really depends on the guy. I have a very low bull**** tolerance. Girls acting innocent, batting eyelashes, acting like 'girls' has never really been my thing. Ladies who say what they mean and know how to be normal people are always more attractive. Knucklehead guys will let you get over on them with a flirty…

What foods dont you like. Let me know what you dont eat and I will give you some ideas.

Finally, and Ill stop posting, this is what we in the industry professionally refer to as the "Flinstone Foot.' I have it too.

I bought some shoe inserts. They have removable arches. They worked well. You go through some pain for the first couple of days, but as you get used to them, you place the higher arch in, get used to it, place the highest arch in. It alleviated back pain and sciatic problems.

I have this, too classicshell. You have to get your feet used to the movement. What I have is an expanding arch. So the muscles there will stretch when there is any resistance. It kills. I can't do calf raises because of it and there are alot of times that running on a treadmill will hurt my feet before I even work up a…

I have to say, from my experience, lack of sodium leads to profuse sweating and almost uncontrollable. My body became so willing to give up my water and I was regularly dehydrated. I could go through a gallon of water and not quench my thirst. The great thing about it is that sweat no longer burned my eyes and it tasted…

Don't mind me, BUT... If I am at the gym, I HATE talking to people. I want to get in and get out as efficiently as possible. If you are going to kick it to a guy, just kick it to him, show interest and then back off. Tell him you will chat him up later. In my mind, there is nothing more obvious and kindof annoying than a…

I think it does matter. Especially if you are training for a race. I know that when I have done cardio hardcore, I get completely depleted of potassium and sodium. I would cramp, get lightheaded, see the little white floaty spots, sweat without doing anything. My body was completely out of balance and wasnt holding onto…

I agree with pftjill for the most part. You are going to be sore until your body gets used to doing what you are doing. Unfortunately for you, Tony is going to switch up your routine at that point to keep you sore. The supplements will help get blood flowing to your damaged muscles to get them on the mend, but you are…

I am not a girl, but I am italian..and I know about this. It is the absolute worst. There is nothing better than sausage, chicken cutlets, cured meats, olives, cheese, bread, antipasti, etc. My mom talks about the glowing smile, the happiness I exude, how excited I am, when the table is set with just a spread of peasant…

I looked at the bottom of the discs, they look like they are nicked internally. Not like there is a scratch, but like there is a bubble under the surface. I windexed the disc and put it back in and it works. I am going to try to copy them to see if I can run them off of a copy.

How focused are you on your breathing? I know that for me, I really really concentrate on the breaths. Not just for the beginning of each breath, but the breath for its entirety. Focus on pushing it with your diaphragm, up through your throat, and out through your nose, and then in the same way. I think if you can put 10…

Wait a minute. I have a problem with the magnifying glass question. One, who is to say that the magnifying glass is powered by the sun or that you aren't in Alaska or wherever they have 24 hours of sunlight. Wait until night, and then walk through and get scorched by a full spectrum 1,000,000 watt bulb behind the glass.…

People might hate me for this, but I don't see anything "wrong" with what was done. People should not be subjected to what those contestants are being subjected to, BUT they are contestants on a game show. It goes with the territory. People should be clear that the show is about entertainment and profit and not about being…

I have an agreement with my fiance. It is highly motivational and less than appropriate to mention.

It is definitely not cool that your dad said that to you. I would think about his motivation for saying it before I allowed it to effect how you view yourself. I dont know your dad, but I feel ALOT of fathers make comments like those, step out of bounds with their words, as a way of exerting control in a situation that…

The app is awesome. It is great all around. The only complaint I have heard is that you cant wall post and do the 'facebooky' type stuff...but if you want it for tracking and calorie counting...AWESOME! Plus the scanner pulls nutritional data on food in the database. It syncs automatically. AND I heard that they are going…

Yep...add nuts and peanut butter and avocados. You have to eat more. Someone posted an article on here a bit ago about someone who was on a 700 calorie diet and they just gained wait. It effs with your levels and your body winds up storing everything. you arent hungry because your metabolism is gone. work out. eat more.…

I could try to do that for you

Hey!!! There's no code in my box. How do I get on that?

This is what I have been waiting for. This was my belief. Studies are coming in....ringa ding ding!!!1 http://www.thatsfit.com/2011/02/21/when-is-the-best-time-to-exercise/?icid=maing|main5|dl7|sec3_lnk1|45699

I think they are the bomb. I keep them in my freezer at work. If I feel like I want a late afternoon snack and I am a little beat, I have a vitatop and a cup of coffee. It helps me to remember the days that I would allow myself to eat full on MUFFIN muffins from Dunkin Donuts and the like. I have tried the corn, the banana…

I can't offer advice other than back off of the dieting and see if it has a positive effect. I get those really bad headaches, bordering on migraines, if I dont get enough food, I dont get enough water, or if I work out too hard OR sometimes after certain lifting exercises that work my shoulders and neck. Is your only…

You can try any suggestion that people in here are telling you, but honestly it just takes time and determination. Drinking water helps when you are hungry, brushing teeth helps when you are hungry, but when you AREN'T hungry and you want to eat, it really comes down to having a food compulsion which you just have to learn…

You should discourage this...just as a side. I know it is completely NONE of my business and I mean no disrespect and am not offering insult or critical commentary, BUT from my experience, girls who don't know how to be alone tend to develop dependency issues and overall maintain an underdeveloped sense of selfworth or…

Also...what kinds of phones are you people rocking that you still write a journal on paper? Android and iPhone both carry the ap for MFP and it is coming soon to Blackberry. If you don't have it already, I highly suggest it. Nothing logging my calories in my phone and having them sync to my site and there is nothing better…

How long will you be gone for? I would suggest...and this is just me...I could be VERY wrong....so please don't take it as gospel....I don't want anyone to yell at me here....again, only my opinion....take it for what it's worth....who am I anyways.....DON'T SWEAT IT!!! You are going to be in another country...away from…

First, don't view your 6 day hiatus as falling off the band wagon...or regular wagon...making it sound worse than it is well make you feel worse than you should. You had a lapse, a moment of weakness...albeit a long moment...and you've come to your senses. Good to have you back. Now that the niceties are out of the way. I…

What you did was a good thing. The WRONG thing to do would be to try to relive your old likes through the food by eating a ton of them. You are dissociated from the food, which has to feel great!!! Think about it, 60 lbs ago you might have eaten a few and still had a desire for more. Today you ate 1...just ONE...and you…
