I checked it out, too. Seems to have lots of great ideas! Thanks!

www.skinnytaste.com has a lot of great slow cooker recipes! I just tried my first one yesterday and it was delicious!

Amazing job!

For those that have asked, my zone is 134-162. There are times when I reach 185-190 and at that point, I have to stop and rest....

A scale is definitely the best way to go! I measured out two individual 3 oz servings last night and one had 7 carrots and the other had 10.

Good luck! My husband and I are on day 5!

It's not that one weighs more than the other, it's that one is smaller than the other....Imagine a baseball and a softball, the softball is the size as a pound of fat and the baseball is the size of a pound of muscle.

It's very normal! Your body is building muscle which weighs more than fat, but has less volume. I am at the same weight as when I started 2 weeks ago and have lost 2 inches in my waist. If you are ever unsure, take your measurements...

The ab workout is also at the end of the workout you're supposed to do it with. I just finished week one and recommend doing it at the end.

I LOVE, love, LOVE Zumba for the Wii. It is a great workout! I highly recommend it for people who prefer the comfort of their own living room!

Planning is definitely the key! Just remember, it's never set in stone, so if something unexpected happens like you leave your lunch at home and you travel 30 minutes to work, you can always just fill in the blanks. Good luck!

OK...Iron is one thing, but why are you taking an antacid on a daily basis? If it's for indigestion, you definitely need a second opinion and you should change the foods you are eating because they are really not agreeing with you! If you have a good multivitamin, you can get the calcium, vitamin d, and b12 all in one. If…

I agree completely!

That is AWESOME! It feels good to have a support system at home, even when they aren't on the same journey.

Never thought about that...GREAT point! :happy:

Not for my hair, just a detox.

LOVE it! I so needed that this AM! Thanks!

Bob - People become vegans or vegetarians for many different reasons. A lot of those are personal and others not so much. I became a vegan because I feel 100x better without meat or dairy products. I feel that your comment is a bit judgmental and ask that you do better research before making a post like that. I would be…

Check out the Enjoy Life brand snacks. The website (www.enjoylifefoods.com) shows all the different products that they have and it focuses on being an allergy friendly brand. I have had many different things and they are all delicious! Good luck!

Actually there is....If you don't get enough calories, your body can go into survival mode. It will hang on to the calories you have taken in because it thinks your not going to feed it. Every once in a while is fine, but if it is regular thing, your weight loss can come to a halt.

I am totally addicted...lol! :happy:

I was one of those people who said I would never, ever give up Diet Pepsi. It was my one true vice. I would have at least 3 a day. After finding out about aspartame and the secrets most people don't know about (it was turned down by the FDA MULTIPLE times before it was finally approved) and listening to some of the…

A couple of things have helped me out...There are two books that I highly recommend even though they are vegan. #1 is Skinny B****. (hope you can figure that out.) I actually have the hardcover and audio book. #2 is The Kind Diet, written by Alicia Silverstone. I am in the process of reading this one and it reminds me of…

Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work!

HI! Glad to have to have you on MFP! It's a great site and you will love it! I've been here since January 22 and it's been the best thing that's ever happen to my new healthy lifestyle! Feel free to add me if you like!

That is great!

Awesome! You look like a completely different person! GREAT JOB!

To answer a couple of questions...If I am eating out, I try for a salad or half portion of pasta with red sauce.Depending on the restaurant, it can actually be pretty easy. If you are at someone else's house, it can be difficult. I don't mind telling people I am a vegetarian, so I mention it in "casual conversation" ahead…

I LOVE Zumba Fitness! Just Dance and Just Dance 2 are great as well.
