You said you don't have time at work for small meals, what about snacks like banana's or granola bars? If you could throw a banana or healthy cereal bar in mid-morning or mid-afternoon that would give you an extra 200-500 calories depending on the brand of bar and the fat in them is usually at least the "healthy" kind.

This is up there next to the sugar tax that considers luna bars candy but kit-kats ok and the potato tax that didn't count pringles but counted all other chips. Not the governments place to tell fast food restaurants what they can and can not sell me.

Love the idea of a swimwear edition. It is summer after all :)

There is a zumba class in Q80, there is also Tae-bo on Wednesdays at 5 which I'm wanting to try out. I can't do Zumba because it's in the middle of the day. :( I was totally beyond apprehensive to go alone (thus the point of this post!) but I have been going most mornings for the past 3 weeks and really it's been great.I…

My husband is in the Navy so I have to cook a lot for just me. Something I do a lot is make spaghetti squash then refrigerate it in individual portions, then for dinner all week (or in your case lunch) I dump that nights squash into a skillet with other veggies, sauce or diced tomatoes, and sometimes some ground meat or…

Ditto...Either that or good for them, I wish I had their determination depending on how hard they're going.

I mix it with Avocados, Tomatoes, or Fresh Mushrooms, or any combination of the three. I also like to use it instead of sour cream on baked potatoes My husband likes it with fruit or jelly

bump bump bump bump bump....yum!

Glad you joined! We can all use the support, future wives included :)

I love microwave breakfast wraps. I mix an egg, some shredded cheese and whatever veggies I have (sometimes I throw in some lunchmeat) in a microwavable bowl and heat for 1 1/2-2 minutes while I get dressed, then I just dump it out on a tortilla wrap it up and eat it in the car on my way to work.

I've never been a smoker but a friend substituted carrot sticks for smoking in college. Chewing gum helped me quit biting my nails maybe that would help your sugar craving too since it's kind of sweet?

Take it easy Berry, don't want to you to get hurt too badly! Good luck trying to stay healthy while traveling.

To everyone asking for pronunciations: http://www.forvo.com/ They have a recording of the pronunciation of "every word in the world" not sure if that is true but I've found everything I've ever spelled correctly :)

Schadenfreude is waiting until the last second to let the elevator door close in someones face, Sadism involves severe cruelty like getting joy from raping someone or from beating a puppy.

I try to keep my weekly and monthly averages as close to my goal as possible, my weekly average is usually over whenever we travel or have people visit but I try to make up for it by keeping myself in line the rest of the month.

I love January, makes my membership cheaper :) Without all of those new years resolutions buying 1-year memberships to only go for 1-2 months they would have to charge me at lest 2X as much :)

Not wiping down the machine is my biggest, I don't care what you look like/wear/how much makeup you have on but if I am choking on your perfume you shouldn't be allowed in without showering first, that's part of why the gym has showers! I also hate when there are a ton of empty machines that do the same thing as me and…

This is awesome!

So that I'm sure I get this....on July 1 I'll post the pic I took June 1 and July 1 to show my before & after? Count me in!

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTk622JJxOO5afKjDyb5n8nZCNJCXRamLmYr75Ob_9x_t5qYFbN try the mean abs challenge, it is focused on the core but incorporates some upper body also.

900 calories per day isn't healthy for most people....have you checked with a doctor to make sure you're getting enough? Coma patients get 1200 calories/day just to keep their brains and organs functioning, that's why it is kind of used as a benchmark for "starvation mode"

THIS I've had the same problem, and I found during that time that even though I wasn't hungry I started getting tired easily and some days would get dizzy. Once I added some nuts/avocados/other higher-healthy fat items I quit having the problem as much and it made my weight loss easier. If there is a day you still have…

So, if I drink a bottle of water, and eat my crystal light powder seperately, it would count as water but if I mix the powder into the water, then drink it, it doesn't count. Hmmmm, not sure I can agree with your theory of what counts as water. Any unsweetened water base drink can be counted as water. [/quote] This is my…

I'm doing mean abs June http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTk622JJxOO5afKjDyb5n8nZCNJCXRamLmYr75Ob_9x_t5qYFbN and even tho it's only day 6 I have already seen some results. Core training is a great way to tone your stomach without necessarily loosing weight. Yoga and Pilates are both great for toning this area too,…

I can't work out on an empty stomach so I usually eat a banana or a cereal bar on the way to the gym. Every now and then I will have a protein shake depending on what my other meals for the day are going to look like.

We aren't here to judge! If you're not comfortable posting the pic now maybe you will post before & afters at the end of the month to share the amazing results!

Chewing gum helps me if I'm just eating to eat and not actually hungry...Also, when I want a snack I plug in the calories, then get exactly that amount of the snack out, then put the rest of it up so I'm not tempted. I've found putting the calories in first keeps me from going back for more because I feel like what I took…
