Not this - sorry, but this goes against every nutritional guide out there - you have already fasted for the overnight while you slept - your body needs fuel - and the insulin is used to tell your muscles to burn the fuel in a specific order. Please check in with a nutritionist, or your doctor. like I said before - we all…

Oh, and to track your sodium, go into foods tab and click on settings all the way to the right - you will have choices. Choose the 5 that are the most important to you - mine are calories, protein, carbs, fiber, and cholesterol. You choose yours!

Every body is different just like each of us is different. What works for me may not work for you. What I can say for sure is that you should not jump around. Choose something, try it for a couple of weeks. If it is not working then try something else. Lots of advice/information on eating every three to four hours to keep…

I eat them just rinsed as a protein pow! Put them on salads and add to anything I like lots. Mash them and use instead of mayo. Oh the fun you can have with a garbanzo bean - I even like saying it!

Just an FYI, and I LOVE Jillians's workouts - WEAR correct workout shoes. I purchased ripped in 30 - it is a hell of a workout. Day 2 doing on a hardwood floor barefoot and I tore a tendon in my ankle. Dr said I would not have had I been wearing correct footwear. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT - hopefully I am the only dumb *kitten*…

Just an FYI - from Dr. Oz and John Tesh - both of whom do the research for us, it is the bubbles, the carbonation that is addictive in sodas (as well as the caffeine). Something about exciting your feel good hormones. As someone who is allergic to caffeine I dropped my 2 liter a day of diet coke habit about 10 years ago…

You can use almond milk for some things and not for others - I use it for baking, but not for mashed potatoes - I do however use it for mashed cauliflower and it gives it a slightly sweet taste. We only use the unsweetened at our house - like the 40 calories as opposed to the 60 in the original and flavored - although I…

I am in a similar situation as you. The one thing you don't talk about is water - If you are not already drinking water, do it. If you are, increase it. 8-10 glasses a day. Add lemon or lime - from a fresh fruit, not concentrate if you want but add nothing else. I was told that increasing your water can get you off any…

If the gym offers some classes try one or two - you may find a buddy there, or, find someone here on MFP who you can buddy with and just report to each other through messaging. Good Luck

What you are really asking is do I always have to make the healthy choice in the new lifestyle you are changing to. The answer is that you already are - you aren't going to drive down to mc greasy and order one, you are going to make it yourself. That being said, sticking with lean meats and low fat/low sodium cheeses…

Good luck with the turnip thing - even drenched in butter the good old southern way they are still just nasty. I recommend finding something you like better - no point ever in putting anything in your mouth that you don't like the taste of - it matters not how good it is for you - there is always a substitute!
-
Go to Walmart, Target, KMart, etc - it is end of season - buy a table top gas grill - learn to use it - this will help ALOT. Also season your foods with Mrs. Dash or other lower salt seasonings to help add flavor but not sodium. Third, I LOVE a big juicy hamburger. So I learn to substitute - I eat low fat turkey burgers -…

Like life, this quest to get fitter, lead a healthier lifestyle and lose weight is a process, not a destination. Take joy in where you are now and continue to make necessary changes to get where you want to be. When you get there you will decide on a new place to be and will make your plans to get there. Just make sure you…

Go to bed - tomorrow is a new and different day and learn what triggered your bad day. Learn and move on - it is a process, not a destination and believe me this is a marathon not a sprint!

Don't lie to yourself and DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. Tell everyone who you love that you love them EVERY CHANCE YOU GET. Life is short, live hard, live well and have fun. Don't be the good time friend be the ALL TIME friend!
-
I look at your weekend and say - great, it was only a pound and I am ready to kick start again today! We all have days we have to be "bad". If you don't then you will fall completely off the wagon and make yourself crazy. If you know ahead of time that you have something special - burn the calories before you head out -…

I loved it! It only takes a short time, once I had the routine down I could do it anywhere without the dvd or equipment, and I lost pounds and inches! I always started with 30 min of some kind of warm up cardio - treadmill or stationary bike. That being said, I toned up but did not bulk - VERY happy with results - I found…

Not only are you freaking funny, you are a serious inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
-
I am not exactly sure that the distance is the issue, it is the time of the intervals. I believe it should be like 2 min HI then 30 - 60 seconds recovery, repeat til you feel like dying or 20 minutes whichever comes last! Good Luck

small manageable goals that slowly add up to the big picture. Maybe it is logging every day for a week to then logging for 100 days. That all includes just doing it. Struggles are what make us human and why we are here in the first place. Decide it is your time and Just do it. and if you have a tough day, brush yourself…

yum!

Interesting, very very interesting!

So this. I have tattoos and I tell my son exactly this - get them for you and make sure they are not visible in a polo shirt and shorts. I have had friends not get jobs that they were qualified for because of body art. They are permanent. Use your head, and never, EVER put anyone's name on your body except a blood…

This, and her Ripped in 30. Both killer workouts that need very little equipment and space. I use the large water bottles as weights and just fill them to my needs for whichever workout I am doing. They also sell water filled dumb bells - just fill them before your workout. They empty for travel weighing just a few ounces…

Congrats. LOVE THIS! In answer to your am or pm, do mornings - pm your adrenaline and endorphins that are created can deter sleep - also, continuing to move throughout the day assists in moving the lactic acid out of your muscles! This is part of what is causing your pain. Good Luck to you - keep us informed of how you are…
-
nice! Will def try!

If you can handle it, try cinnamon altoids. The minis are good, but I actually use the big pieces. Not only do they help with cravings, but because they are seriously strong they keep me from putting other crap in my mouth. and the flavor stays so I eat maybe half a dozen a day - only when a craving hits! Congrats on…

So this!!!!! You have made enormous changes to your life and your diet. I commend you, but I also remind you that life is for living, not holding yourself to rigid standards and feeling deprived or like a failure when you don't meet them. Be realistic. One McD's double cb a week is not going to kill you! Live healthier,…

Save the pulp from your juicer - freeze it in ice trays and use in stock for soups or add to tomato sauce for incredible richness and extra vitamins and minerals added to your pasta sauces and soups and stews. We freeze into cubes then put in an airtight container in freezer to add. AMAZING addition to all my cooking!
-
Cravings and hunger are not the same thing. If you crave something, make it the treat in your day. For example if you MUST have some chocolate then have a piece - just don't eat the whole bag or never more than a serving - want a cookie, eat a cookie - ONE. Not ever deviating takes away your life, spontaniaty. But count…
