  • This is so true! Most likely water weight. You've come so far, this is just an obstacle in your way.

  • justsomerando, could you tell us the recipe? I LOVE coconut. I freeze pitted black cherries for an occasional summer treat. High in sugar but high in nutrition too, yummy.

  • I use nuts, avocados, eggs, brown rice and coconut or olive oil to get the calorie count up where I need it. I don't like meat either so I allow for healthy fats. I also set my fat ration for a higher level, usually about 50%! Since I use healthy fats this is not a problem, weight is going steadily down and I feel…

  • I really agree! I won't tell anyone else what to avoid, but I know that for me, I feel 100% better and look better too, when I stick with real food. No crap.

  • I would go for something quick and healthy...eggs are great as someone suggested. Nuts are high calorie and high nutrition. I really would not do chips or junk food. A calorie is not just a calorie. Junk food will make you hungrier the next day. Just my two cents on it. Good luck!
    in Calories left... Later at night... What to do? Comment by toimisaki March 2013
  • It really depends on how much energy you put into it. Zumba is so much fun especially when the music is great. One lady wears a pedometer to the class I teach, and it usually reads about 5000 steps for one class, but those certainly aren't your average strolling-walking steps. You have to really know the moves to get the…
