packaged pasta sauce. sodium killer.

Wow, this is inspirational. You look awesome!

white rice. i figured it at least had some fiber. not much fiber or anything but calories. corn. i love frozen corn.

oh, yeah! processed salads. i had a four hour layover and chose the healthiest looking thing i could find, a sesame chicken salad that was almost all cabbage, white meat chicken, and cucumbers. Ate the whole thing before seeing 1900 cals on the bottom! OMG!

totally normal! as your body gets used to healthy portions it will start to ASK for them. I just posted about how quickly this seems to happen-- consider it a blessing that your body doesn't want those allsorts anymore!

don't own a scale. eat as clean as possible but don't deny yourself the things you love.... BUT ...fast food is poison, even in moderation. you're not running AWAY from _____, you're running TOWARD being fit, confident, and beautiful. --the last one is my running mantra, i insert whatever negative thing is foremost in my…

Boycott. That's all there is to it, I guess.

Yay, happy Saturday! I'm missing Chinese school because I'm sick. :( Does anyone bring salads to work? My salads are HUGE and I never know what to put them in.

Yep! Time Of the Month!

Welcome! You're going to love it here. I'm pretty new and everyone's been really awesome. Add me as a friend if you want!

Not to lecture you, but please be careful with your weight goals. At 4 ft 9 (145 cm) a healthy weight range is 92-116 lbs, or about 41-52 kg. Healthy people are hot!

Was your original post about feeling sore from exercise? I mean, calves, stomach, and even your chest (think pectoral muscles, rotator cuff, obliques if you're short) can be sore from full-body exercise but nothing but your calves should hurt if walking is all you do. The vomiting is a big concern-- you shouldn't be…

Plus, uh, 35 kg is your goal? That's like 78 lbs. How old/ tall are you?!!

Why is all that happening? It sounds like you're pregnant, not exercising!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Thanks for all your help. You definitely nailed my problem with getting breakfast in (school starts at 7:15) and I was wondering about the exercise calories too. I do use a HRM and I go HARD on the treadmill and on my bike commute. I'm sure I'm building muscle but shouldn't I see inches start to drop? Good to know on the…

Awww. Okay, the field trip was SO worth it. We went to the Asian Art Museum and the kids were so prepared. I was incredibly proud of them. When the docents would ask questions they were ON IT. "Now, this is a statue of Rama and--" "He's an avatar of Vishnu!" my kid would blurt out. "Parvati and Shiva were partners! They…

Can we start a new teacher thread called, "crappiest things your boss has ever done to you?" We've been planning a field trip for a month. Two weeks ago, our math teacher quit without warning and stopped coming in; didn't even finish out the semester. The first thing I brought up was the field trip. Because we have so many…

I love it, but it tastes like horse food. It's kind of delicious made lukewarm and with some orange peel in it. I lived in Argentina for a while, though, and so I remember it fondly.

Net calories = Calories eaten - exercise calories. So if you eat 1200 calories, and burn 200 walking, your net calories are 1000 and you should eat more.

Whew! We dd the Ramayana today; the kids were climbing the walls acting out Rama and Lakshmana fighting Surpanatha. It was awesome, but I didn't drink enough and now I have a headache.

You. are. awesome. Come join the teacher thread, we're friendly. Although we do like to b!tch about the lack of bathroom breaks.

Louis, actually. But then, I'm Italian. Never mind. I guess it should be Luigi.

I just don't want that square butt thing--you know, where the butt is flat and then there's like this square of butt in the middle of the flat part? hahahaha.

Oh yeah-- click the red link on the right called (BOUNCE)!

Check out Title Nine. They have the most incredible selection of sports bras for women of all sizes, all tested and reviewed and guaranteed. They're not cheap, but even if you just get one it will be sooooo worth it. www.titlenine.com

Health comes first! Extreme calorie limitation while you're sick will only work against you! Drink the Gatorade, don't worry about the calories until you're better, then get back on the wagon. Plus, you probably don't feel like ingesting much else, anyway, right? Good luck and get better!

Good on ya for being a model for those first graders. You've already made it through step one-- the mental shift! Good luck and welcome!

Oh, and happy Monday! I'm giving a test. Dun dun dunnnnnnnn.....

I've been thinking about teaching healthy eating to kids and I LOVE these books, Hungry Planet, and the new one, What I Eat. Hungry Planet shows what families around the world eat in one week, and What I Eat has people who eat typical meals of 800 cals up to like 12000 cals, where they're from and what they do. Really cool…
