I'm in the same boat with the husband being in fantastic shape (with a six-pack) and eating whatever he wants whenever and not gaining a pound! I read an article on yahoo news that said drinking 2 cups of hot tea/day promotes a healthy lifestyle. I LOVE tea, and have found lots of flavors. Bigelow makes a fantastic French…

EXACTLY. I do not want to be the one on 19 different medications daily...nicely put

FROM www.fitwatch.com Strategies to Deal with Weight Loss Saboteurs Posted in: Exercise, Health, Nutrition, Self-Improvement, Weight Loss | Be the first to comment! Doesn’t it drive you crazy? You’re trying to lose weight and improve your health, and then someone comes along to sabotage your efforts. Whether it’s jealousy,…

Wow! Ya know, I think that is her defense mechanism. Maybe she is jealous that you two are working together and have a support system for losing weight in a healthy way without drugs or surgery. I totally see your frustration. That sucks i DO NOT tell my co-workers I am working out or eating better because every time I do…

I kind of like that they have "real people" doing the workouts because it lets you see that if they can do it, I can do it. I dunno...I see what you are saying though, but if you watch biggest loser and saw how much they weighed BEFORE, it is encouraging :)

OMG OMG OMG I LOVE THEM!!!!!! I have The Biggest Loser-The Workout, Biggest Loser Weightloss Yoga, The workout-2, Cardio Max AND Bootcamp. Start out with Biggest Loser-The Workout (the first one). It has 4 complete workouts that you alternate, 2 one week and 2 the next week for 6 weeks. I've worked out to it before and my…

My Dad has that and he says that when he is the happiest is when it is summertime and he is out doing things. I read up on it and it is the lack of Vitamin D (the sun). People who have that, or just anyone in general, are told to get at least 15 minutes of direct sunlight daily because it helps you produce seratonin (the…

I use the diary as a guideline. It helps you notice how many calories are in certain foods so that you can educate yourself and train your mind to pay attention to what you are eating. I am usually over by a little bit, but I dont worry since the FDA reccommends a 2,000 calorie diet and my fitness pal is saying my limit is…

WOW that's a good one lol...i DID THAT THIS MORNING!!!! :explode:

When everyone else at work sends for fast food but you firmly stick to your leftover (healthy) meal you brought for lunch and arent even swayed by the temptation.

You need a carb, protein, a fruit and a dairy. Grab a nutrition bar with protein, a fruit and yogurt (key lime pie is my favorite from 'Fiber One'). Sometimes I make Fiber One blueberry muffins ahead for the week so I can grab and go in the morning for 5 days, and drink a glass of juice or milk to mix it up.

You can read my blog if you want, I have found some info from various sites that I thought was very helpful to me and would like to pass it along. (If you cant get to my blog let me know, it should be public). http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Romba

Eh, just learn from it. Cheesecake is SOOOO good, but SOOOO high in fat lol. You'll be fine. I drank beer last night and blew my calorie intake...but I still worked out today and I'm not drinking tonight. Once in awhile, you should have something you want so you do not go into re-lapse. Dont deprive yourself of everything…

You may get headaches...try drinking green tea. Japanese women believe drinking 4-5cups a day helps your metabolism and it gives you energy. Japanese people drink it with no sugar, but I have found that adding a tsp of honey to it makes it awesome. Green tea does have a little caffine, but it is not the same as drinking…

thanks! i joined

115lbs LOST?? WOW AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!! You deserve it.

Your muscles weigh more but when you exersize, if you eat immediately after, you are feeding your muscles (so to speak). And your muscles work all day for you, even while you sleep, to work off fat.

YES IT IS YUMMY!!! Just eat in moderation because, even pineapple does have the most calories of almost any fruit, but you gotta eat something sometimes lol.

Then eat a grilled cheese and fries!! If your body wants something it is craving it because it is lacking something that is in whatever food you crave. Grilled cheese and fries wont be that bad if you bake the frozen crinkle fries (mind the serving size). And grill you a sandwich girl!!! just be good for the rest of the…

And here is a 'better for you' desert. Angel food cake is not as bad for you as most deserts out there, and this one uses fruit and is so easy. Plus it makes the whole house smell good when company is coming!! Easy Angel Cake 1 pkg. Angel Food cake mix (one step) 1 large (15-20oz.) can crushed pineapple undrained Cool Whip…

and one more... Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti 1-1/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips 2 cups water 8 oz. spaghetti, uncooked, broken into 3-inch pieces 1 bag (1 lb.) frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrot blend 1 can (10 oz.) RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA…

Here's another good one Santa Fe Chicken 1 Lg onion diced 1 T butter or margarine 1 1/4 C chicken broth 1 C uncooked long grain rice 1/8 t garlic powder 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves. 3/4 C shredded Cheddar Cheese 1 C salsa chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional) In large skillet, saute onion in…

My favorite recipe in the world! (I use chicken tenders sometimes instead of a whole chicken cut up). Blue-Ribbon Cranberry Chicken 1 16-ounce can whole cranberry sauce 1 8-ounce bottle reduced-calorie Russian salad dressing with honey (about 1 cup) or regular Russian salad dressing 1 envelope (1/2 of a 2-ounce package)…

Remember...muscle weighs more than fat...If you are seeing muscle definition, you are on track! I have gained too, but I have been using weights so I think it is normal. Eventually, though you will start to lose I think. I wish there was a ticker for your measurements instead of weight because my waist is an inch smaller…

For starters, dont beat yourself up girl!! If you want to cut down for the rest of the day, fill up the rest of your plate with veggies :) You could have a salad or even tuna. Fish is not too bad if you do not fry it. I think what I would fix would be green beans, peas and carrots and a piece of boiled chicken or tillapia.…

The best of luck to you! I love this site...I have lost 4lbs already and I've just been signed up for a week. It has motivated me to exersize, starting out slowly but I'm already seeing results! Here is some inspiration that may help you along: 10 Tiny Changes for Big Weight Loss By Chalene Johnson, creator of Turbo Jam®…

A wii is worth it if you get Wii active. Wii fit, although fun, does not give you a work-out (and usually comes with the game.) but Wii Active is intense! I love it!!!!!!

Ok, I have alot of advice on this subject. Centrum is the best vitamin supplement I have ever found, and I have done lots of research. For starters, if you take ALOT of vitamin supplements, you will gain weight. (I know this from experience!) I used to take calcium, selenium, vitamin c, vitamin e, zinc, etc. and I balooned…
