  • I just make sure I don't use it as an excuse to eat chocolate and poutine and I do ok. I also heard somewhere that the health of your liver effects the way you break down hormone overloads that cause PMS, and I do feel that the healthier I am, the less it gets to me
  • i hate to be negative, but for most people to have a truly defined body, they have to work at it for a lot of hours every day. The average person doesn't have hours a day to focus on chisling their bodies. (by average people i mean someone with a job, family, school, social and volunteer obligations) I'm working toward…
  • If I'm not smiling, i look like I'm glaring. I just try to always be smiling, it's healthier anyways
  • I was going to start it again and go for perfect form, or it's a great maintenance video for days at home... right now, level 3 is my rainy day plan since i can't get to the gym, but I'm trying to train to run and do some cycling road races (might as well start swimming to get the triathalon if I'm going this far)
  • I'll accept your high five. I think i have the neediest family in the world.Two preteen boys that still need to be reminded to wash. A baby, who loves me to a point of silly and a husband that is still getting used to the blended family thing. I feel like a referee, a coach, the waterboy and the crowd in the grandstands.…
  • I log all of my fruit, but i won't kill myself to get specific about veggies... i pretty much bunch them all in together; if i made a stir fry and used about half a cup of mixed greenish veggies, i will call it all broccoli instead of counting out each mushroom, each celery, etc I'll be withing 50- calories in the meal as…
  • I would go with something other than TVP like quinoa or millet. I also add something crunchy like sunflower seeds or nuts. I use a ton of garlic, some cumin and coriander and ginger for seasoning. It's still not meat. The bland compared to the store is likely salt content. That's a side effect to packaged foods... if you…
  • they fixed it yesterday. Thy entering your weight today and see if it changes. If it doesn't try deleting your last weight entry (from your computer) and re-enter it. That's how I got mine working yesterday
  • I like bench marks. Do a workout video, go for a run, climb a local hill. Remember how it feels now. After a month or two of working out and losing weight, come back and do that same activity one more time. See how it feels the second time. I like to have things to look forward to. For me it's finishing a 5k, 10k maybe a…
  • you could try to find a gym that has a good drop in rate, or that doesn't force you into contracts. Your fiance doesn't sound very supportive of you, but then again, i kind of roll my eyes a little when people think they want to get in shape and the first thing they do is sign a contract with the gym. I would start with…
  • if you can close your dorr, you could do a series of situps, squats, pushups and lunges. Can you lay out a yoga mat? I'm sure there are a million "ten minute trainer" type videos out there. At one of my jobs, we had actually convinced the boss to bankroll a treadmill, although we never went through with it because we…
  • sometimes it has to do with being able to not report ingredients too. Like if there is less than X amount of aspertame per serving it doesn't report.
  • you might also like the 30 day shred.
  • i REALLY prefer my kale cooked. cut it into strips and boil it. I have also made a cole-slaw style vinegar salad with kale, and that was ok, but it tases really "healthy" I love tossing it into stews, curries, etc. I put it in my smoothies, but i prefer spinach. If you don't like green smoothies, just don't go there. I…

  • For me, summer is as back as christmas. Survival only! As much as it's easier to be active, it's also lazy days at the lake, camping food (smores mmm), BBQ's, my birthday, kids are home all day so there's popsicles, more lunch... This year however, I'm hoping it will be long bike rides, swims, hikes, healthy picnics, etc.…
  • i HAD over 50 lbs to lose, now i hae 10. I feel kind of like a seasoned pro since i have done this once before (lifestyle overhaul, then i slipped) and i have been losing weight for the last 4 months on this "go" feel free to add me, I share my diary, and I'm a good example of moderation and healthy eating (most days)
  • When I get to 160 and keep it, I want to get a dogwood tree (white flowers) coming up from my ankle. I want the tree to have roots to the ground, and a few little pictures hidden in the picture; a tiny skull, a dragonfly, and maybe a hummingbird I want it to come about half way up my calf. I may chicken out on getting one…
  • Yup I'm with you. My sister has a birthday the day after me, so it's a double whammy... I finally lost it yesterday and went a little crazy with cake and booze. I have a lingering cold and I think it's because I haven't been as focused on healthy as much as keeping in the calories. It wasn't a great milestone, and I had…
  • I "run" with my kids... like a fitness test against each other... if we are in the right shoes we will say "I wonder if I can run to the lights without stopping, and we try together... but yea a full on jog for a long time, makes no sense to me. but at least they are doing something. I alwys wondered about people at the…
  • it might be the PMS or the allergies, but that one brought tears to my eyes!
  • people look at me like I'm crazy when i say i don't eat food from boxes, and that i get a lot of my food from places other than a grocery store! in the summer, i only go in to buy milk and a few things to keep the kids sane
  • There is no big changes you have to make when nursing except waiting long enough post partem that EVERYTHING has healed (i had an easy birth and started jogging at 5 weeks. My doctor kicked my butt when she found out, she was just about to give me permission to go for long walks not runs) After that just don't cut your…
  • I like this thinking. I really just made this post to attention *kitten* some happy birthdays.Thanks for the attention! I remember when i was on WW, someone talked about mindlessly tossing a dessert in their mouth then spitting it in the garbage because they realized they didn't mean to eat it, and didn't want to log the…
  • I eat mine with a spoon right out of the skin (cut in half) sometimes a little salt. Sometimes i slice it on my sandwich instead of mayo. They are awesomely filling and keep you regular. LOL
  • hmm not sure how to make it fit. i thought that part happened automatically ish
  • I eat half an avocado pretty often. They are great for the baby too!
  • are these bready or pancakey?
  • the night before soak some dried beans in your crock pot (not turned on)- i don't actually know how much the inflate... i think they double in size... (the dried beans are dirt cheap too! added bonus) in the morning, drain the liquid and add some tomatoes (i use fresh almost all the time, or i get the mashed ones in a…
  • That was my first thought.
