That sounds delicious! I've been looking for good breakfast ideas. Do you use a certain brand of cereal?

I second the Laughing Cow cheese. My evening snack lately is one wedge of cheese with four Triscuits. All-natural and low-calorie. Mmmmm. (Stick with the "original" Triscuits. The special flavors start introducing extra ingredients that I try to stay away from.)

I just ordered the DVD this morning from Amazon. I'm a little scared...but excited too. That little voice deep down is mocking me, saying "another workout program? how long will THIS one last?" But I'm doing my best to ignore it. I'd like to join your group to keep me accountable.

Your after picture looks the the before picture's daughter. Totally incredible and inspiring. I'm in awe. Congratulations!

I agree, once in a while you have to enjoy. I REFUSE to believe that I can never have a steak or a cheeseburger ever again. Another tip: Get a to-go container right away and put half in it before you start eating. I've actually done that at Outback! Eat the other half for lunch tomorrow.

This link was posted earlier with a similar question. Bottom line: YES! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo

A handful of raw almonds and a glass of skim milk.

I was reading online a bit about different HRMs. The Polars sure seem nice. But I saw several reviews that complained about the batteries, and that you have to send the entire thing back to Polar to get the battery replaced when it dies. Any opinions, Polar users?

Excellent! Thank you!

bump to put in "My Topics"> Thanks, Banks, very helpful!

According to LOTS of information I've seen here, you SHOULD eat your exercise calories. And, 1200 is the minimum number of NET calories you should eat. That means 1200 plus exercise calories. Eating less than that can slow down your metabolism, cause your weight loss to come to a halt, and discourage you. That being said,…

Posted this before I saw yours, Crystal. I'll take a look at your link, thanks! Edit: Okay, I read your other post. Whew! Sounds like I'm okay with what I'm doing. Try to stay away from sweets, read labels, stay away from foods that ADD sugar (sugar, sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, etc.) I would imagine anyone with…

I have the same question. I don't have any sugar-related health issues, so usually I take a look at what I've eaten. If all of my sugar is non-added sugar, such as fruit, I don't worry about it too much. I'm good at looking at labels, and I stay away from HFCS, and anything that lists "sugar" as one of the first…

That's why it's good to use the food diary here...now that you've recorded it, you know! Otherwise, you could have gone on thinking it was healthy and continue to eat that way. Learn a lesson from it and move forward. (I think my mouth actually watered when I read "pancakes with syrup". SIgh.)

Great job! Next time you're tempted, remember how good that felt.

PB&J: One slice of 100% whole wheat bread to make half a sandwich--1 Tbsp of Smuckers Natural peanut butter (I like the chunky one) and 1 tsp of sugar-free strawberry preserves. Plus a side salad. A big issue with salads can be the dressing. Of course, my favorites are all of the fattening creamy ones. I've switched to oil…

Along the lines of many other responses here: I've learned two VERY important lessons in the last year that have drastically changed my marriage. This applies to marriage in general, not just getting healthy: 1. You CAN'T change your spouse. 2. You have to work on YOU. No matter what. It's natural, especially for women, to…

I love the granola bars--honey almond flax is my favorite. 140 calories, a little high, but 7 g of protein! Protein is what I have the toughest time getting in, so these really help. And they do keep you full. I usually have one in the afternoon so that I'm not feeling starving by dinner time.
