  • Funny...I came on here to ask the same exact question! I've been a little bored of the same old things. Here's a recipe I found in Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. They're actually pretty tasty! Oatmeal "pancakes" -3/4 c. oatmeal (I used old-fashioned) - 1 whole egg - 3-4 egg whites - 1 scoop vanilla praline…

  • You're not the only one! The same thing happens to me, too. I also tend to gain water weight that week and I'm concerned because I'm in a weight loss contest that ends in a week...unfortunately bad timing according to my body-clock! I'm looking for ideas, too. Here are some things I've found online about dropping water…

  • I'm also 5'4" and have a small waist to hip ratio. I'm currently working my way back into my "skinny" jeans. I like Silver jeans and I get them from Maurices. There are so many styles of Silvers to fit every dimension. I love the way I feel when I wear my silvers! Good luck!

  • Hi, Try searching for "calorie counters for weight loss." I have found several that are simple to use. Here's an example: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-goal.php I am a member of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle and Tom Venuto has a few calculators available on his website (but it's a paid site). Here is another…

  • I'm right there with you! For whatever reason I've been having cravings like mad this past week. It started on the weekend when I had my mother's birthday party and Superbowl. I had been doing very well up to then, but thought I would just have a little taste of a few things. Unfortunately that triggered a desire for more,…
    in Overeating, but WHY? Comment by mlm7944 February 2011
  • Only water for me! I've always liked water and it hasn't been a big issue for me. I guess I do drink herbal tea but I don't use any sweeteners. Peppermint tea helps when I'm having a craving. I always notice on the days I drink more water that I feel better, have more energy, and seem to do well on the scale the next…

  • I think your body does have a natural weight that it seems to be most comfortable at. :-) I am 5'4" and tend to stay around 130 lb. At the most fit point of my life, I was about 115-118, but during college I gained about 20 pounds. I've been back to 119lb. but can't ever seem to maintain it. I'm not sure if it's just that…

  • Hi. Thanks for that reminder. I haven't yet purchased a heart rate monitor and have been considering it for awhile. What brand do you have? I'm looking for recommendations for the best heart rate monitor that won't blow a budget!

I pray for help with energy, motivation, good rest & quick repair of muscles. I believe our bodies are a gift and we are meant to take care of these gifts. We are to use them for his service, so…

  • I'm finding that eating meals 3 meals and 2 snacks a day that are between 200-400 calories spaced every 3-4 hours really keeps me satisfied. I'm also trying to drink a ton of water, too. Hopefully you'll find the balance that works for you. Have you tried Kashi Go Lean cereal? It's very filling. I also am finding Pure…

  • Me, too! I am currently 138lb. and planning to be in the low 120s or less by April 9. I've joined a biggest loser challenge in my area and I'm highly motivated to make my goal. I'm eating a diet recommended to me by a body-builder coworker and friend of my husband's. I've scaled it down to meet my nutritional needs, but…
