Just read your profile: "I don't usually go to the gym or anything so my weight loss will probably take even longer. " Well, yeah that won't help too much... Not saying you cannot lose though

The answer is NOPE, not hard at all. * You need to set to the right calories, which will give you less lose a week, which mean you might want to up your calories depends on how hard you workout. That could mean you might need to eat more. * Make sure you eat your exercises calories back (if you are using MFP tool to adjust…

Instead of using can pineapple, I prefer fresh, so I looked up online and found this one: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=912 Ingredients 4 chicken breast, no skin 3 tbsp soy sauce 4 slices fresh pineapple, 1/2 cup pineapple juice 6 fl. oz. light beer (--> I probably will skip this one) 1 tbsp black…

Better_Balance, you are right, I shouldn't and won't start the bodyrock workout. I'm just so jealous at people can do it. :-) I'll stick with safer workouts for the time being.

I usually pick the one in glass bottle, the ones in the natural food isles. My hubby love coconut water.

No judgment on shopping on Friday night, I've done that so many times. :-) Less crowd and I like the quietness. I spent most of the time in the produce session and natural food isles, and pretty much skip most of the other process food isles. I'm a little disappointed with their produce session, often their vegi are old,…

Often she will talk about more beginner's move. I'll say you can look back to some older video and just pick one that you feel more comfortable to start. Have fun.

Any bodyrocker (http://www.bodyrock.tv/) here? I am wondering if I can do their workout or not. I never started, but always want to do it (always got other workout take place instead). Not sure it's a good time to start it now or not.

^^^ This ^^^ Homemade smoothies also a great idea

* different types of fresh fruits * handful of nuts (any type)

I would suggest to talk to your doctor, if it persist or get worse. Otherwise make sure you take your time to warm-up, cool-down, and stretch properly.

Balanced REAL food (minimize processed food, fast food) - meat (while meat, red meat) - whole grain - vegi (lots, and many varieties, more color the better), beans - fruits (lots)

Just sharing some reading "Properly measure your exercise intensity", from BabyFit.com: "The Talk Test Monitoring your exercise intensity is important for your health and safety. The RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)--that all-too-familiar scale of one to 10--gets a lot of attention during pregnancy, but another method,…

It's good that you are trying to be more active as you can. However, 3-min walk is way too short to worth of logging, it probably barely raise your heart rate. Consider taking a longer break to do a 20 minutes (at least) walk, instead of breaking it up many times.

Never tried with avocado with it, I'll have to give a try. Sounds so delicious.

I'm a big fan for eating plain brown rice. It taste great without flavoring.

Good one. Had to share this on FB

Read book: In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto http://www.amazon.com/Defense-Food-Eaters-Manifesto/dp/0143114964/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313009926&sr=8-1

It's good to break up a routine and confuse your body. Agree with Egger29, pick back up where you left. Personally I would not do the same thing over and over again for 30 days, which will make my body too used to what I do, and it learned to be efficient instead of working hard to burn more.

If only if it's decaf green tea

I had an ultrasound this morning (1st trimester screening). The baby is clear and very active. He/she is arching back, moving legs and arms, sucking thumb... Almost brought me tears. Got a bunch of pictures. Heart rate 157. So excited!

What a reality check when you started logging food! Logging food is a great tool (doesn't need to be long term) for us to recognize how much and how well we eat. It definitely helped me have much better sense about calories, nutrition in food that I'm eating. Even when the time (or period of time) I'm not logging, the…

Looked up online (http://www2.kelloggs.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=552), click on "Nutrition Facts". For a little serving (100g) it contains 12g of sugar!!! Only 3g fiber and 1g protein in that. If you look at the ingredient, first one listed is Suger, which is not what you want for a nutritious breakfast. Go either find…

She is totally sexy

Google the subject, mine search come up a few, for example: http://www.livestrong.com/article/211160-the-best-foods-to-eat-before-running-a-5k/ http://www.ontherunevents.com/news/0232.htm http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/BrianShea/what_to_eat_before_the_big_race.htm Enjoy your run

Get a heart rate monitor. Eating right and exercise will do the magic

In my mid-20s. Was too light in high school.

Eat, woman, eat

If you've been logging all your food, I don't even see you actually eat all the 1200+ as your setting. Also don't see any exercises. So: * eat more * exercises (eat your exercises calories back, all) * eat more whole food instead of protein bar everyday, or rice cakes, etc * eat breakfast

1. Eat a apple before lunch. The fiber will fill you up. 1 yr 5lb loss --> Vegetables are other choices which does the same 2. Refrigerate your can food. The fat rises to the top and you can scrap off. 1yr 6lb loss --> How about try to eat less processed food? 4.Fake a carbohydrate. Example Mashed Cauliflower season like…
