I HAVE to eat at 4:30 - eating right now, as a matter of fact. 2 peeled boiled eggs and a baggie of red grapes 23 raw almonds and 1 ounce of cheese 0 fat greek yogurt with cinnamon and stevia and apple slices to dip (not real car friendly but one of my favorites) I tend toward protein becasue carby's make me starving 10…

and off to sports authority i go!!! Guess they have pale yellow patent leather...that matches my purse! YAY!

i can do 1 for 3 minutes then 2 more for 2...trying to get to 3 sets of 3! I have very strong shoulders so it is really all about abs for me... you should gradually build up to it...google "this is why we plank" it has an excellent photo of what muscle groups are used (i would GIF it but i don't know how! LOL) ... Whatever…

I am happy that i get to start my Heavy Lifting class tonight!!! I will be sore tomorrow and that is a good thing too...

Do your mom and dad have high cholesterol?? Mine do, and there isn't a darn thing I can do about it but keep up the good food, eat a slight deficit and exercise. There are studies today that are showing interesting things with the size of the cholesterol molecules floating thru your blood stream, too...pray for large ones…

I always needed a sweet item after dinner. I started drinking a cup of hot tea...usually a strong fruit flavor like apple cinnamon, peach, or apricot, etc with a bit of Stevia. ...then i would GO TO BED - even if it was 9:00 - brush teeth, put on jammies, get under the covers. It took about a month, but I broke the need to…

video training - falling.asleep.now.

I was a diet Dr. Pepper aholic, but I quit cold turkey once I decided to finally lose the weight. I did find that drinking soda made me want more sugar and that nothing was ever sweet enough. I started drinking tea - flavored tea really helped me cut down on the soda without too many cravings...caffien in the day and…

Welcome to my world! No matter my good intentions, there is always one day a month like this...I was a fat person because of binging and I will not be a fat person again because I refuse to be guilty over this - I feel that for me, the guilt is what makes me say "I may as well give up since I blew it". Exercising HARD the…

this is working wonderfully for me...I figured out what my daily calorie intake shoud be and subtracted 100 then on Saturday, I get an additional 700 calories on that one day ususally spent on VODKA

2 whole eggs and 4 whites with whatever veggies left over from dinner - spinach, broccoli, cauliflower...scramble it up with low fat cheese melted on top and YUM! I have a hard time eating oatmeal or cereal for breakfast...I get the shakes and I am starving an hour later - I have a very strange body!

I tend to look at my calories over the course of a week. I don't eat all my exercise calories back every day so if I go over my 1,400 daily limit on a day that I don't work out, it doesn't affect my losses for the week.

Now I know what to have for dinner! My Lebanese grandma used marinate chicken "wing" pieces in fresh lemon juice, salt, garlic, mint & Tahini (sesame paste) overnight then grill them on really hot coals and finish them in a 350 oven after they get a good char on them. The dip in garlic sauce or hummos or yogurt... So...off…

When my daughter was in grade school and day care, it was very difficult to send snacks that she would eat that didn't need refrigeration...I have a decent knowledge of nutrition and I was stumped most days. At least, now they have apple slices, and no sugar added fruits and stuff that are grab and go. Still, what protein…

YES together!!! French fries and a Wendy's frosty!

meeee toooo...I would have to do 3 hours of cardio a day to fit that in...

14 years of retail MADE me a shopper that doesn't want help...

I eat the same breakfast during the work week...and I have 4 different "snack" combos that I make up in multiples on Sunday so my fridge is like a vending machine! I do go off the path on weekends, though as I have the time and creativity. I LOVE to cook and try new things, but it makes me stress out to have to deal with…

Ummm, sleeping on the couch in his new apartment that he doesn't share with ME! Seriously, it sounds like he filpped becasue he feels like the OP is pressuring hin to finish a project that he doesn't want to finish or worse, he has hit a wall and can't finish due to lack of skill or knowledge. Slippery slope.

I had to google pork roll, as I am a southern girl and had no idea either...ok, kinda yucky, but that is most likely what you would say about scrapple, which I LOVE, so I guess we are even! LOL - glad it was good - we all need to go off course every once in awhile!

It took me at least 4 months to figure this out and I underwrite mortgage loans for a living! It was like someone slapped me when I finally got it - the good part is that I eat more than I used to and i am now dropping 1/2 pound per week. After an 8 week stall, this is a HUGE deal!!

I am starting a lifiting class on Tuesday! So excited...my dad, brother and mother are all body builders so it is going to be very interesting to do this without them knowing. I want to work out all winter like a crazy person and wear a bikini on my 50th birthday in July!!! that gives me nine months...

It really is about the TDEE...but only if you are really HONEST about how much activity you do. I look at an hour of exercise as a "unit" since i cannot do an hour every day, i chose to tell fitness frog calculator that i am a 3 to 5 day exerciser - i was able to up my calories from what MFP says to eat and i am finally…

I was going to say the same thing...Ya'll need to mark your territory!! My husband is a bit of a fit thrower, too, so i understand where you are coming from...he is still a spoiled brat in some respects, God bless his mother's soul. But he calms down quickly and then tries to compromise...give it a day or so and go back at…

I have to have 2 sizes of pants - always - even before the weight loss i gain a FULL PANT SIZE!!! But it does come off after the first day or two. I just up the water intake and try really hard not to skip the gym, but the pain is sometimes just too much to exercise thru...those months i move my rest day and push on…

this was the first thing i cut from my diet! however i was a Diet Dr. Pepper girl...

lentils are awesome! Quinoa, lots of FRUIT...LaraBars

This works till you have kids. Once a toddler gets freaked out becasue they think they are still IN the nightmare, you tend to change your sleeping attire! LOL

This. Totally....a HUGE part - over half - of my daily calories are eaten after 5pm. That is when I binge, so now I just binge on my daily calories. It helps, too that my family knows darn well what my trigger foods are they keep them out of the house. It is funny to see the places my husband eats lunch by watching the…

I am going in on Wednesday for a full workup - i was taken off cholesteral & blood pressure meds about a year ago - i only take thyroid, D, fish oil and magnesium. I had labs done a few days ago and I am anxious to see the results of nothing by diet and exercise. I was on synthetic for 5 years or so then it seemed to stop…
