Summer foods! Hotdogs, Cheeseburgers, fries, fried foods! Love them all. Oh, and potatoes - all kinds and cuts!

That is a good rule! I think it will be mine, too! Rice would be perfect with some of the stews! Yum, thanks!

Thank you! It's a bag that holds a lot of food and keeps it all organized! I'll look at these for sure!

Thank you! They both sound yummy!

http://www.muscleforlife.com/the-best-protein-powder-for-women/ Protein for chicks ... article kinda spells out the different kinds and then you can see what works best for you.

Boo, I can't remember the cleanse that I did, but basically remove a lot of foods for the first week (eat only veggies - bad for a carb lover), and then slowly add back the gluten, fruits, and dairy ... during different days to see if you are intolerant ... as for allergies -- you'd know by now for most of them.

As a lot of the folks mentioned - it might be best to get some blood work drawn, talk with a doc, or simply adjust the plan that fitbit has for you. Most weight loss goals/plans have you eating within the first 30 minutes of waking up. I'm a girl that has to get up at 4 am sometimes, so I know the difficultly of eating…

Thanks! I have feetures socks for PF - mine was kinda strange because I didn't have the pain in the am like a lot of folks. My pain came after wearing my boots all day and running. I'll look into the sock because all of you recommend it. Today my feet are feeling great - I iced and stretched last night. My legs are little…

Thank you all! My PF is good or tamable now. I was running 2-3 miles on the treadmill the last two weeks in them and I opted for a 5 mile run today because I was going stir crazy. I feel great :). I'll ensure to ice and stretch again when I get home.

Thanks! I have custom inserts -- I'm more so looking for advice on increasing my mileage in the new shoes. Sadly, we have shoe stores here but they are nothing like they are stateside. I've been in almost every brand with problems either on my left or right foot (of course they are different) and that's why I switched to…

Oh, I roll pretty much my entire body! I do it at night when I watch tv. My doc discouraged rolling my feet because it was doing more damage than helping, but that was a plastic roller just for feet. I think I'll try the tennis ball or water bottles. Thank you!

I won't be able to PT with him because he is deploying. I will be able to do some workouts with my pups - but not everyone and I feel bad when I leave them to workout. As for the stairs -- I've been a stair only girl since 2007! I do believe they help but think my body is fighting with my birth control (depo). So I will…

Insanity will make you soooo hungry!!! Congrats on making it to week three. Are you giving yourself a cheat day?? Those are important for cravings ... Like if I complete week 3, I'll treat myself to a yummy burger? There are also some really good burger alternatives like using ground chicken or turkey and you could always…

Thank you! So informative and helpful with your real life experience with it. My daily routine also varies and I think I am much like you and will run around like a crazy lady at work some days and others I find myself barely moving around my desk.

Awe, really. Thats pretty sweet.

Wow, thanks so much! I think I am defiantly going with the BodyMedia

yes, that is what I saw as well. The subscription isn't that bad and comes with 6mts right off the bat. Still cheaper than Jillian Micheals!

best cardio test for me is ... can I hold a convo? --- not trying hard enough can I speak a sentence? --- decent pace can I speak a few words? --- I'm pushing myself am I grunting? --- working towards a PR Trainers are there to push you, otherwise you might stay in your comfort zone. I had a trainer a few years back and…

Thanks everyone! I'm still leaning towards the bodymedia. I know I do not need a gadget, but I really want to know how much I burn during my working hours. I am often running around and I didn't like how the fitbit, fuel band, UP all track going up the stairs the same ... it doesn't know the difference between running up…

I hear you! Three months ago I was trying to workout, finish my degree, plan a wedding and now that its all behind me I only feel like relaxing and reading books. I'm fighting to get my motivation back! Stay strong and you'll figure it out!

Hi!! I did myfitnesspal a few years ago and have found myself slipping lately, especially after my wedding ... So any help and friends will be appreciated!!!!
