I love yoga, hatha, vinyassa flow, iyengar style (never done a whole iyengar class, but I have done extended poses with binding) I'm pretty anti bikram though... I have a whole rant against it... it's perfect for a small portion of the population, not for everyone. sending you a friend request! I love yoga dudes, I can't…

I'm dropping about 1 lb every other day! It's awesome and encouraging... i haven't even really started exercising yet! I'm nursing a baby, so that helps burn extra calories, but i'm also eating clean healthy food and moving a lot more than i did before. wtg everyone!
-
i'm with you, i go over all the time... I really watch my sodium, protein (sort of), calories, and fiber intake... sugar just kind of falls where it will
-
all ranting aside... I do grab the occastional snack wrap from Wendy's when i need a salty snack on the road. No pop, no huge burger, no fries no *sob* frosty.

I beg to differ. I'm in Canada, on vancouver island and our food Is a little pricier than others, but not like Hawaii expensive... that said, i never pay more than $12 to feed my family. the chicken example... i bought a farm raised chicken... the smallest i could get was $20 (probably 4 lbs)... I roasted it up two days…

can you do it at a time that isn't that disruptive? Like if you are home during the day they are most likely out at work, or at least less likely to care? these I believe are the mats that you would want... you can get them all over the place...…

I have always noticed (not backed by research) that there is a lag of a few days before anything shows on the scale... that's just my experience though... that's why I like Wednesday weigh-ins, I would have a chance to feel the full impact of the weekend, and start to see the benefits of the week.

maybe not the right community. lol

bump!

my magic bullet does just fine. I have so many things that chop, slice and blend. I have a big food processor, a mini chopper, a blender and a magic bullet. I NEVER use the blender (just added to my things to sell list) I sold my juicer; doesn't seem practival to ditch the fiber in my food. I'm not worried about force…

oh I know, it's just a hypothetical why I will one day run a company that teaches people to cook from scratch to save money, the environment and their health... I think it would be a hit, like nutrisystem or that other fresh one, but with the lessons on exactly how to make the food too, and where to buy it.
-
other causes are eating less meat (i'm semi-veg) so sometimes I cant make 1200 calories without trying, I try to focus on making my meals add up to 400 calories... I'm a breakfast eater. I'm grumpy without food, I need it before ANYTHING else, so I want a nice filling breakfast... if my breakfast is falling short of…

I was told to keep doing whatever I was doing, but don't start something new. I couldn't get my doctor to commit to a maximum heart rate, she said just be careful. I Never gained a ton in this pregnancy, but I did gain in anticipation of getting pregmant, so you are in better shape than I was... I was back to my pre…
-
i weigh in every day... people argue that this is unhealthy, but I swear it keeps me on track for the day. It doesn't upset me when i go up for a day or two, i know that is to be expected.. if i was going up for more than a day or two, i would start to reevaluate. If i hit the scale after a week and was up 5 lbs, i would…
-
it warns me if i get under 1200 calories... i thought that was a setting for everyone. it doesn't care if i burn off ALL my calories, as long as i eat my 1200. maybe it's lower now,
-
so what? I think this is my third membership. lol! some of take a few tries to get going

I'm not an expensive clothing shopper so getting rid of stuff has never been to stressful for me. I kept all my skinny clothes, and I'm looking forward to ditching the interim fat stuff. I had to do the re-wardrobe twice... once from size 22-14. then from 14-10/8... When I was a 14 I hit the thirft stores, because I knew I…
-
this picture is 5 years old. I'm working back to this... it just gets me that the BMI charts still say you are overweight. Bite me. I was so much fitter than most of the skinny people I knew. I glowed, my skin was radiant... I'm 24 lbs from this still.
-
losing more than 2 lbs per week isn't going to help you in the long run, and will cost you muscle mass, which is the stuff you need to keep the weight off and burn more calories naturally
-
can you see this pic? this is me at my fittest; I was around 158 lbs... do I look fat still?
-
I'm in the same boat about the baby fat.. "I just had a baby" isn't an excise anymore... is the zumba core a good game? I keep renting games, but not playing them because I just can't find time, but I need to do something here! My little guy is 8 1/2 months now, I'll be going back to work as soon as I find work. I'm losing…
-
exercise times 1000 I just don't have time, I hate being cold, or wet, or dirty, or hot... I hate exercising outside unless it's the perfect temperature and weather. The gym is expensive, or full of teenagers, or busy, or smelly, or full of old people, or too empty, or there's a creepy weirdo creeping you. It's also stupid…

yea, I made cookies for the kids' lunch, and I wasn't going to have one, but then I caved
-
I like salsa for an almost impactless dressing... otherwise, I make a maple balsamic vinegrette... I think about 60 calories per tbsp. 4 parts olive oil, I part maple syrup, 2 parts balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard (like 1/2 part or less) or other herbs, salt to taste
-
I never have tahini in my house, so I make it without, or I grind some sesame seeds before adding the other ingredients
-
omg, I can hardly convince myself not to weigh in more than once / day. I tend to strip down to my undies when I go to the bathroom to make sure I'm not gaining.
-
I'm not going to trash bikram yoga, although I will never go back myself. I do want to warn you because of all of the sweat you are expelling, PLEASE only do this often if you are a very healthy eater. I was doing it for a long time and got sick. then I got sicker, when I would get a little better I would go back then I…
-
why am I not doing this right now!?!? ok, time to take half an hour a day for me.
-
there is a difference between cravings and excitement. When I meet a new food that I like and is really healthy, it's all I want. I wouldn't run out and get tested for deficiencies yet. Enjoy your yucky veggies!
