  • I second the new sports bra suggestion. I am rather plentiful as well so I had to play around with a bunch to get the support I needed. Check out some running shops or amazon. I got mine on amazon but had to do a return (for free) bc I didn't get the right size. It has made a big difference and that is just with me doing…
  • At Dunkin Donuts I get a medium Iced Latte Light with Caramel Swirl syrup (not the sugar free syrup) and then add 4 splendas. still not as good as the old stuff but definitely a doable alternative. Chick-fil-a is my favorite though. Medium original Iced coffee with 3 splendas. Took me awhile to get used to the splenda but…
  • I am only on day 2 but I like it. My husband did it and has ran several 5Ks very successfully. He told me to go at my own pace and if I feel like I need to repeat weeks feel free too. It also helps to go ahead and find a 5K that you want to do, like 3 months out, so that you have a goal. Mine is July 11th
  • Thanks! I needed the reassurance that I was still doing the right things.
  • No tips from me. Just a good luck and way to go for starting it. I also chose that same rainy Saturday to begin. I even survived it.
  • chick-fil-a is my go to
  • I have been doing daily burn for about a month now. I follow the true beginner program and I think its working for me. I have a toddler who is always with me unless I am at work so the gym is not an option for me (no child care gyms around). Its also nice to be able to access it anywhere. It takes away my excuse of not…
  • We make homemade pizza using thick tortillas but I also love Dominos flatbread or thin crust pizza
  • I can't speak to the gym (I do Dailyburn at home) but when I am carrying my not-so-little one that weighs 30 lbs I log it as walking with an infant. It only accounts for a 15lb child but its the best that I could find. It does give you more credit than walking without carrying anything. Good luck!!
  • I added some strawberries. So good!!! Thanks!
  • I go with 4 days on just about any leftovers. I second the freezing option
  • I get worried aboutt finally losing the weight and then gaining it all back. That has happened so many times in the past. I plan on doing MFP forever bc I used to lose the weight then get back into old habits. All the weight would come back plus some.
  • calories? where do you buy chia seed?
  • I love it. I have been doing it for a couple of weeks. I am doing the true beginner program and its great for me because I am so out of shape. They have real people on there who struggle with some of the workouts right along with me. Very motivating to see other people of similar body type and exercise ability doing the…
  • Oh and maybe spread your lunch out. instead of sandwich, chips, and fruit eat them about an hour apart if that is possible. I eat my fruit in the morning while I am charting assuming the patients cooperate. helps tide me over so I don't end up snacking on graham crackers and PB from the nutrition room.
  • I don't really know but I think high protein is best. I know I keep beef jerky in my car for when I am out shopping. I am always tempted to grab fast food or a milkshake as a snack. 1 oz of the beef jerky is like 80 calories and is perfect. nuts or cheese would be another good idea. They also make some really yummy protein…
  • I did the online dating thing to meet my husband. One thing I always did was make sure one of my photos was a full picture of me. I wanted to make sure any guy that I was talking to knew what I looked like so I didn't have to worry about whether he would accept the way I looked. It made me feel better knowing that if I did…
  • I don't know if its right or not but I have lost weight using my gazelle and counting calories. The weight loss increased when I added the gazelle. I have my doubts that what it says I burn I actually burn but I figure that it must be worth something if I have lost more with it.
