  • I use Braggs amino acid for asian style salads. OR make a creamy one with avocado mashed up and plain greek yogurt (add some garlic, and onion powder)
  • Same here! looking for some support! :)
  • I can't vouch for this quite yet, but I bought sparkling seltzer water with lemon/lime twist at the grocery store. I tried the vodka soda with a lime last weekend, and it just wasn't my cup of tea. I am going to try this hoping it has more flavor! It is Canada Dry, No Calories, no sodium etc. Here's hoping it is delicious!…
  • No baby for me, but I am looking for friends! Just turned 25, and am at my personal heaviest. I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago, and the heat drives me to the pool all summer long. I want to look amazing in my bikini this summer, instead of... well what I looked like last year. :) I feel like I have been doing what I should,…
  • Great post! I always *hated* running, but saw my best friend go from hating running to doing 5 and 10 k races! My main motivation is having music I enjoy. If I am distracted from actually running then it is better. Other people I know love watching tv/movies (only if your tread mill is set up for that). Just this week I…
  • oh my love this post! If it weren't for my ipod I wouldn't work out. I love the new Black Eyed Peas album (The E.N.D.) Also Red Hot Chilli Peppers are great to rock out to (All my life is a great workout kickoff) Ludacris (Get Back, and Stand Up) Britney Spears has a great beat to many songs, perfect for the treadmill No…
  • Yesterday I found a GREAT video on netflix instant watch(i'm sure the dvd is available too) The Trainer's Edge, Integrated Strength Training. It has 3 different levels so you can pick which works best, and keep using it. It has a lot of dual exercises so you will do squats and biceps curls at the same time (it is about 40…
  • Don't get stuck on the number. I have averaged 1lb/week too, but lost none some weeks, and more others. If you feel better, and are losing inches you are doing great! I was frustrated too, but I keep telling myself it took time to gain the weight, it takes time to lose it.
  • ok y'all just updating. I did a strength training workout in addition to my cardio this morning. I love that netflix has instant watch workout videos!! and I know I will be sore from all those damn squats. still working on the water.
  • I have added peanut butter to my oatmeal to give it some flavor (and maybe a little protein), but it does add calories! Also I prefer it for lunch with some fruit as opposed to breakfast.
  • Yes I like this. Everybody is different, and if you aren't diabetic or pre-diabetic then don't worry. I am still going to try and keep it low. The other threads suggested switching to unsweetened almond milk as it has less sugar. I personally haven't tried it. Maybe I will get some for my coffee.
  • Love this idea! I already did extra workout this morning in anticipation of my dinner/drinks/movie date tonight! Love the extra water too. Working on it as I type!! :drinker:
  • I was just reading some posts in the archives about this because I was just as confused. I guess some people don't count the "healthy sugar" in fruits/veg, and milk, but others do. I don't really have an answer, but want to hear others!
  • damn girl! you look amazing!!!! Such a motivation. :)
  • I am going to pass on one of my favorite pieces of advice from these very message boards: You didn't gain this weight in 3-4 weeks, it takes time to loose it too.
  • For Christmas I got my parents a fruit infusion pitcher. It makes great flavored water and the fruit lasts 7-10 days if you keep refilling the water. We had lemon, and clementine, but cucumber is so good in the summer. It also can do raspberry iced tea. They are pretty cheap on Amazon.com too. I know this is still water…
  • You can have too much fiber also. I had too many servings of Fiber One bars one day, and that messed me up a bit. Good luck! Sometimes this just happens. :)
