If you are still struggling with the concept of clean eating then I HIGHLY recommend getting Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Recharged book. There is a ton of information, recipes, and even some sample menu plans to follow. After scanning your diary, I would suggest eating smaller meals more frequently. Make sure you get a…

I used to sweat a lot whether I was working out or not. I find now that I have lost 40lbs I still sweat a lot when working out (I keep a hand towel with me) but in terms of day to day, if I have worked out in the morning then I find I don't sweat as much during the day. Weird!! Yes stay hydrated, do no drink less water…

I am a FIRM believer of eating 5-6 meals per day and ALWAYS eating breakfast within one hour of waking. You should be having clean, well balanced meals/snacks between 200-300 calories every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Yes you will be hungrier at the beginning and it will be because your metabolism is working how it is meant to. Carbs…

I used "5K" titled Run 5k by Felt Tip Inc. and it is just for 0-5 km. The second one I have is "10K Runner: Couch to 5k to 10K" by Heavy Duty Apps. I would recommend this one as it is set up to progress past the 10k if that is something you might be interested in doing. Both programs you can use your ipod playlists to set…

I used the C25K program and LOVED it. It helped to build my endurance, and strength. I have since downloaded the Couch to 10K app to set me on my way to a 10K and half marathon goals later this year. I was never a runner and found the program and app to be so user friendly for any fitness level. I love that I can crank my…

It depends on the time of my workouts....if I do the 5 am bootcamp then I have 10 almonds and water before and a regular breakfast after. If I do the 9am bootcamp then I will have Kashi Go Lean cereal around 7 - 7:30 that way I have a good hour & half before working out. That provides me the energy to get through the…

Down 1.6lbs this week to 156.4...Yay! Finally made it to my pre-pregnancy weight from my FIRST child....been a LONG 5 years!

Hi, I'm in Edmonton!

I was always told to not eat to heavily before working out. I usually work out in the mornings...if first thing in the AM then just some almonds or a half banana...if it is mid morning then I have a bowl of Kashi Go Lean at least an hour before going. After an early morning workout I would have my normal breakfast and…

1200 is as low as you should go for weight loss...anything lower than that your body will go into starvation mode. Weight loss rage is between 1200-1500 cals and maintenance is 1500-1800 cals.

if they don't fit then get rid of them...I find now that I am on this journey that I am more motivated not to let my pants get tight. they should be just right!

Down 1.8lbs this week with current weight of 158.0

Thanks everyone...looks like the polar brand is a popular choice...off to check them out. Cheers!

Not a good week for me Up 0.4lbs from last week Goal = 5 lbs Weight Lost = +0.4 lbs

I would love to join a challenge if it isn't too late. I weighed in on Monday and am starting at 159.4 and would like to have a 5 lbs weight loss for April, that puts me at a 155 lbs goal. My current challenge is getting my eating on track. I do bootcamp 3 days a week with an average of 400 calorie burn. Add in running…
