TDEE - total daily energy expenditure, the amount calories your body burns in a 24 hour period, sleeping, working, exercising, playing and even digesting food! You can use this site to figure it out - www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.htm

Make sure you are logging everything (drinks, snacks, meals), make sure you are measuring your food correctly and not just guessing. Figure out your TDEE minus 20% and eat that for a couple weeks to see if there is any change. Also make sure your drinking your water and watch sodium levels. Get yourself a measuring tape…

bump can't wait to try the spinach, carrot and sweet potatoe recipes

Great results. Hoping I can start lifting soon. Are you going to a gym to lift or are you doing it at home. Also, how many times a week are you lifting?

Congrats on the NSV. I can't wait till I am able to do my new size shopping

Ok, I am in. I am also doing the Squat Challenge too, this is going to be fun.

Wow, Fantastic. Keep up that Great work.

I have the fitbit zip that i got 2.5 weeks ago. Most of my exercise comes from walking so it was perfect. I love it, I can check to see how many steps i have taken or how many miles for the day and it gives me a push to try and hit my goals. If most of your exercise is going to be from something other than walking then you…

Sounds very tasty. I have canned pumpkin too, but i am out of yogurt

wow, omg, why did i not listen when you said to eat something before going to the site. There are so many delicious and nutritious recipes. Saving the site and pinning what i want to try

I'd say go for it. If it is like a size or two smaller, it would be great motivation for you to stay on course.

As long as you have a calorie deficit that isn't too great then you can loose weight, even if you are only walking. I have lost just with walking, that's pretty much how i started before i even started counting calories. Just add to your normal daily activities, park further away, get off the bus a stop early, when…

I have one of his DVD's, but haven't actually tried it yet, schedule too crazy. But i'm hoping to start it soon. Curious to hear from others too see thier results

I love making a steam pack and putting it on the grill. Large piece of foil some slices of orange and lemon lay the fish on top and load on the veggies(brocolli, asparagus, green beans, sweet pepper, garlic), a touch of pepper and then close it up and place on the grill for about 20 minutes.

awesome, great post. Simply put and easy to understand.

O, I will definitely second the homemade peanut butter. I love it soooo much. Also this way I know exactly what is in it. I use roasted peanuts in the shell, the fresher the better. Shell them of course and put into a food processor with a little bit of honey. My son likes his with a bit of cocoa

O I know how that feels. lately though instead of wallowing in misery, I have picked myself up got a glass of ice cold water and went for a walk (preferably outdoors, nice fresh air), then usually another glass of water. That usually clears my head and puts me back on the path. Your gonna have good days and bad days, just…

To be able to go into a store and not have to hunt for clothes like its a needle in a hay stack. To be able to look down and see my Who Ha without being a contortionist. O and definitely the legs rubbing. To be able to go through my closet and complain I have nothing to wear only because everything is too big. (SHOPPING…

Wow, you look amazing. Great work.

Make your own super easy an you can control the ingredients, like sugar and salt content. I made my first batch a couple days ago and ready to make some more.

would also like to know

Can't wait to get off work so I can go home and try this.

I have to second the Probiotics.You can take them in pill form or get them from yogurt, love the Danactive drinkable yogurts. Woks wonders with both me and my son. Also, limit your intake of bananas they can bind you up. If you are really have actual problems going, as in stool is hard try Miralax, when my little guys…
