Hey - Good for you doing a marathon. I'm doing the March for Babies tomorrow - it's only 5 miles walking but I've always wanted to do a marathon. Good Luck - I hope you do well! :glasses: :bigsmile: :smooched:

You should see how much cleaning and cooking is - I feel better about that on the days that I can't make it to the gym, usually the cleaning and cooking days!

I'm sorry to hear that someone put you down. This may be the hardest thing to face. My advice to you (and myself - if I would just listen to myself when it happens) is to go the gym and work that much harder. You are hurting yourself if you self sabatoge your diet and weight loss and not the person who hurt you. BUT - If…

Get a great pair of sneakers and get walkin girl!!!

My personal trainer told me that popcorn is the best snack to eat when you are dieting. Here's the deal. Buy a regular size bag of popcorn, eat the whole bag!!!!! REALLY!! The entire popped amount equals about 5 cups of popcorn. Approximately 220 calories. Here's the other thing, when you pop it, all the oil that is in the…

1 cup plain low fat yogurt 1 cup blueberries 1 medium bananna 5 large strawberries Combine all ingredients in a blender at around 10:00 and puree - Keeps you full until around 2:00!!!!!! I still eat a South Beach Living High Protein Peanut Butter Bar at noon though!

Okay, I'm just responding to the last post, not the entire string. Here are some great filler upper snack ideas. 1. 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (24 plus grams of protein) 2. Whole bag of popcorn - once popped the oil is spread out and it's like 30 calories a cup. 3. South Beach Diet Granola Bars (14 grams of protein!) 4.…

2 cups plain lowfat yogurt, 2 servings of 1/3 cup Chappaqua Granola 16oz Coffe 1 oz 1% milk 3 TBSP Sugar I had ya until the sugar huh!

Okay, every morning I have coffee and in that coffee, I put up to 3 TBSP of sugar because ever since I started drinking coffee, I have liked it very sweet - ( I know, a little coffee with my sugar!). My life is very natural and organic and I don't drink or eat anything with chemicals. My question is, how bad is sweet and…

Okay, How bout zero. We had a snowstorm hit and I wasn't able to go to the gym this morning. I was going to take a class called Boot Camp, which is taught by my personal trainer! It was at 6:am and I am so bummed that I was too wussycakes to drive. I'm going to take my doggies for a walk in the snow now, but won't burn…

Okay, I saw this on someone else's post January 29th, 2008 - 200 pounds February 20, 2008 - 195 pounds It took me years to get that big, but five pounds in three weeks - I've cut my calories in half, nothing but healthy foods, and I'm working out EVERYDAY!!!! I walk for an hour every morning then work out for about an hour…

Oh, I totally agree with you. I actually bought 6 boxes and only opened one. I watched my husband eat a whole sleeve of thin mints while I was just eating two Caramel Delights. If you can, don't eliminate the cookies entirely. It's so hard for me too, but if you eat one in the middle of the day and one later on, you savor…

Hey Bud! Me too, although I haven't been running four miles a day, I've been walking four miles a day and I joined the gym three weeks ago with a personal trainer. I see her twice a week and gym exercise everyday. I have to walk my dogs, that's a given, but the gym, I'm doing stuff I have never done before. I don't get it…
