So far so good for me! No fast food, or restaurant food/anything not prepared by me!

I had the same problem... I was never regular... I am doing a cleanse right now which is definetly helping, you may want to think about doing one...

Well, in lieu of Super Bowl Sunday I decided to get some chicken sausages from Sunflower market, they have only 176 cals per link, if you have ever seen them, they are HUGE (probably twice the size of brauts), so I may not even eat a whole one. I was just going to have the sausage with some type of veggie, maybe some fruit.

I dont have Cancer but I have hypothyroidism and I take Levothyroxine for it.

I say, if you havent puked this morning you good to go, pop an excederine and just do it! If you need to take it easy, perhaps sit your butt down in a bike and pedal your heart out, then do that. You obviously felt well enought to think about going to the gym cause you put your workout clothes on, just DO IT!!!!

Alright P_Cakes, I went to the gym, and I managed to burn 539 calories today. Yay me! If I keep that up all 6 days this week, I can get to 3240 cals burned for the week. Not too Shabby, I am going to try, REALLY try to get there! I think the key is to switch up the machines... I did my normal elliptical for 40 mins today,…

For me, if I had that temptation I would try and think of how lousy it would make me feel afterwards. It may taste good going down but then what? You're left with guilt, disapointment and a TON of extra calories that your body doesnt need. If its too much of a temptation throw the sucker out!!!!

I think we would really need to see your diary before we can make suggestions. But as I am sure you already know, I am going to tell you that you need need NEED to drink your water and you have to get over your sweet cravings. I am not sure what type of sweets you are eating but what I can tell you is that regardless of…

***Weigh/Check In*** Last Week Weight - 175 lbs This Weeks Weight - 174 lbs Weight lossed - 1 lb Challange Comments: I drink enough water for 3 people so that one wouldnt be much of a challange for me. Burning 3500 calories in one week is huge, I normally average 400 cals burned from doing cardio (45mins), even if I…

How do you like Zumba on the kinect? I havent purchased a kinect yet just because I thought it was going to do more action type games and so far its been like the Wii..... I like Zumba though, have the dvd's, just not sure if its worth spending all that money yet...

I am experiencing the same thing right now. First week 6lbs gone, 2nd week, a couple more, now 3rd week down and NADA! But I am not gaining so thats a good sign. I have been doing a ton of strength training so I am not too concerned right now but if I dont lose anything after week 4 I may be a little bumbed.... As long as…

None of that stuff is going to be very good for you. I would suggest making it yourself.... Just saying.... :)

Mrs. Dash makes 0mg sodium mariades. I would try those. :)

Lettuce wraps are one of my favorites for lunch. You can put almost anything in them.. I posted a recipe for Asian Turkey cabbage cups if you want to look for that, or tuna/chicken salad is great in some romaine lettuce. Tuna has been one of my main go tos for lunch, super simple I just mix a can of starkist very low…

Not sure where you live but if you have Fresh and Easy stores near you they always have boneless, skinless, chicken breast for a great price, like $1.99/lb. Also bananas are normally pretty cheap. I buy alot of frozen vegi's, if you go with the store brand you get some good deals. Oh and canned tuna. One of my staples, I…

What in particular about the texture do you not like? Celery is crisp and crunchy, usually not a texture people are weird about. What I dont like about celery is the strings of fiber, so if you are like me you can actually use a vegetable peeler (or your fingers) and peel the outter layer of stringy fibers. I only peel my…

Okay so just for fun.... Ok ok, I was bored at work.... Anyways I decided to run some numbers for you :tongue: I was pretty shocked in the difference..... So these are the numbers for making your OWN ranch dressing from the hidden valley original ranch packet, mixing it with 14oz of FAGE Total 0% plain greek yogurt. ****I…

This is just a suggestion, I havent ran the numbers or anything, but what if you bought the ranch packets (you know, to make your own dressing/dips) and used either a plain yogurt or light mayo, you can control the amount of flavor/powder you put in it as well as make it healthier with yogurt or something with less…

Okay Whew!!! :)

I would use the calories burned off the machines, MFP seems to be really high. Once you enter how long you did an exercise you can change the amount of calories burned, dont use the default MFP numbers, enter in what you actually burned.

I mean no disrespect by this at all, but 2 TB for one chicken breast is ALOT of oil, even if it is olive oil... Perhaps this is a typo, should it be 2 tsp? Even still you really only need a drizzle.

I conqure! You CAN do it, dont let anyone else tell you otherwise!

I am kinda feeling the same way today... I have gym membership at pure fitness which also allows me to go to LA fitness since the bought out pure... I do the Pure saturday seminars (group class) with no problems but I am kind of affraid of LA, as its more a "HEY LOOK AT ME" kinda club, a place to be seen rather then…

I found this, may want to read it... http://health.yahoo.net/experts/joybauernutrition/sugar-how-much-should-we-eat/

I did a little bit of research on sugar and what I found is that the 40 or so grams of sugar you are allowed a day is for things with added sugar. So fruit you can eat and although MFP counts it cause, yes fruit has sugar, its natural sugar. I dont worry about it too much, I add up everything that doesnt contain natural…

I dont think there is such a thing as normal. Honestly you have lost a good amount of weight so it could just be your bodies way of saying "FEED ME cause your working me out" Its all about food choices, I would try to eat more fiberous things in the morning to keep you fuller longer. I went from eating breakfast to mainly…

I would suggest a protein shake. You can also go talk to someone at GNC, vitamin shoppe, or some other supplement store to see what they recommend, as there are a TON of pre/post workout options available.

OMG THEY ARE THE SAME!!!! LOL, http://www.diet-blog.com/08/new_superfood_chia_seeds.php

LMAO!!!! You know, they kinda look like it, google them!

On average I am eating 1/2 the exercise calories back... I am just wondering if I am not eating enough... So I found a site that tells you how to calculate your BMR and based on your activity you can find out how many calories you should be eating to maintain your current weight (ill post the formulas at the end if you…
