There are other cosmetic procedures that can help boost you a little. You could see at cosmetic medi spa type doctor and see what your optins are... I know i will need some work once i lose and maintain, since i have stretch marks (from babies) and extra skin (from losing over 100 lbs - some of it was pregnancy related) In…

I work in my house, so a different boat, but when i worked in an office i would keep tuna or salmon, crackers or rice cakes, a bag of apples. some cheese, almond butter, a clamshell of salad and hummus at work... any combination of these foods worked for a meal. Cheese and apples. Apples and hummus, tuna on salad. tuna and…

I consider it every time I have more of a treat than I wanted to, or when it gets the better of me *the day I had 4 servings of dessert for instance) I don't consider the pie last night a binge, because I stopped at the pie. If I had gone on to eat the rest of the pie, or another treat because "it's already too late I'm…

I work a lot and study a lot, but I try to fit in a few short workouts in my day can you do some 10 minute trainer sessions on breaks? I totally get not wanting to be sweaty at work though, I have no idea how I would do what I do if I couldn't wear yoga pants at my desk, or if I had to brush my hair daily (lol - I wish I…

I'm planning on getting a new yoga mat fpor me 175 lbs goal met (it's been over a week, but I have earned that one at 170, I'm getting running shoes that are actually good for running. in the long run, if I can get to 160, and stay there I'm rewarding myself with a tattoo... I'm not sure how long I have to maintain the…

beat me to the punch. I was going to ask how to log 4.5 minutes of exercise. I'd giggle if it had levels, like "vigorous"

on another note... if you really don't want to have to think about it, try something like nutrisystem if you can afford it. They do all the work for you, food is ready, life is easier... yea you still have to cook for your kids, but at least you are off the list.

I'm a mom with three kids, two preteen boys and one baby boy. I work more than full time and I'm a part time student. I don't exercise every day, I still have some fun, but I track and calculate everything, it's the only way FOR ME On the days I don't have time exercise I lean to the "eat less" side on the days I have time…

I'm in the opposite boat... the last time I was 158, I was a size 8/10... I could squeeze into a 6! Now, I'm at 170, and i'm still wearing a lot of my size 16 pants, I can wear 14's... I haven't even tried the 12's yet (I bet I could do them up, but not comfortably) wth! I have no problem with losing MORE weigh, especially…

I am wondering the same thing... do I really need one? I'm within 10 lbs of my goal weight (although my after pictures are starting to feel like other peoples' before pictures) When I go to the gym and my goal ISN'T to lose weight, do I need one? sorry if this is a thread jack, I'm just trying to get a better idea myself…

north of washington in BC I love the northwest, friendliest part of the US if you ask me

most gyms have a circuit set up... you could go through each of the machines and do 3 sets of 5 reps on each machine to gauge how heavy you should be going... have a rest of cardio day between each circuit/ most gyms offer at least an orientation to get you familiar with how to use the equipment safely, some offer an…

you have 10 lbs to go until you are a little healthier. You have another 10 lbs to go until you are little healthier than that. Even if you don't change weight at all, making healthier choices and getting more exercise will give you a longer, fuller life. I have lost almost 100 lbs once in my life, went back up 50 over a…

If I'm logging it, I'm licking it clean

i disagree. if i was addicted to alcohol, i would have to go through a detoxification process and would feel worse before better. If i need to stop eating junk food (sugar, wheat chemicals) i need to go through a detox and will feel worse before i feel better. I have done a few detoxes, i like the wild rose because it's…

I'm sort of still nursing, my little guy is 9 months old and on formula while i work, but he was exclusively nursed until about a month ago. I found that i was hungrier than ever while i nursed, but i also found that i was using it as an excuse. Don't let your calories get too low, but moderate exercise and reasonable food…

I'm not new, but i like friends! I'm on day 81(ish) and down 34 lbs so I'm doing something right!

When i do that, i just eat a lighter dinner (like a big salad with some tuna or something) and go over a little bit. i find that i almost have to go over a little here and there to not let my body get used to low calorie intakes. I'm also personally concerned with being able to live within my own lifestyle and not go…

You might also experience mood swings when you change your diet. I'm the worst person to be around when i cut refined sugar and carbs. It takes a few weeks, but WATCH OUT! There are a lot of foods that help with depression. I wouldn't go to any extreme diet unless that's wat you want, but i find a "generally" healthier…

"what are you eating?" "nunya" "what's that?" "nunya business!"

bump?

I never knew it was actually an acronym! I just assumed you were bumping your post to the front of the line. lol

once i finishe the 30 ds then i'm going to restart it and do it again so i can get through it without wimping out on anything, like the real push-ups. i'd like to get to where i can do insanity of p90x... i also want to run a 10 k and get into cycling, maybe a marathon, I consider exercise videos to be a means to an end,…

you can get matcha at any specialty tea shop, or in china town,,,

I'd like to become a certified yoga instructor, and maybe a personal trainer, but i'm happy in my career, so if I did it would just be for fun, and maybe to stay motivated... I blame that choice the first time on why I got fat the second time... I "won" the gym, so I was looking for what's next... I should have gotten my…

there has to be more...

I was drinking it for water weight and detox properties, but I found it just tasted yucky and didn't do much else... It's hard to tell when something is beneficial when there is nothing really wrong in the first place? it can't do any harm... so try it for a while and see how you feel? Anything that adds fluids to your…

another idea if you want the caffeine hit, but aren't attached to having a hot beverage is to add matcha powder to a smoothie... matcha is powdered green tea, it's full of antioxidants and all the benefits of green tea only better because you consume the whole leaf! I like a hot drink in the morning, so I don't do this…

how do you make something Cuban style? I tend to fall right back on chili powder and coriander (I call that Mexican style) or turmeric and cumin (middle eastern-ish) or is this a recipe?

yea, when I'm thinner I'm like a size 8 on top and an 12 on the bottom. I am losing my boobs, but not my butt still. LAME
