mustard (I like more rough-ground spicy types) is actually really good. Combine with banana for gluten-free "pancakes" Combine it with lettuce and any other veg you like on salad and use whatever dressing works for you Also, yolks! I assumed at first that you were trying to keep calories down, but you're using a pretty…

I also have a "big" kid, who is perfectly porportionate and not even a little overweight (although he certainly could've been called that in his pre-crawling stage!) We've all seen the horrific "feeding a 6-month-old fast food" videos, but it would be better not to jump to judgemental conclusions. Since my husband and I…

You could also try doing a beet "shot" separate from your big glass. I did this with celery, as I can't stand the way it makes the rest of the juice taste. That way I can get the benefits but still enjoy my tastier glass with all the ingredients that I find appealing!
-
My husband and I also found that the thing that was really overpowering our juices in a bad way was celery. Now we just make the juice without celery and then make a small shot of celery juice that we gulp down. If you can identify where the "yuck" response is coming from, get that one out of the way in a small dose and…

HI All, I've been missing for a couple of days because I'm doing a 7 day juicing thing (let's call it a kickstart), so I haven't been counting calories this week and therefore haven't been on MFP. Don't worry, these are super hefty juices and I'm getting plenty of calories, I checked :smile: ! Day 1 was rough, the caffeine…

a couple of other ideas are: 1. Gardening, if a kid grows it, they'll enjoy eating it more 2. Get your munchkin in on the grocery shopping and have her pick out some veggies she'd be open to trying (although you're going to have to establish a rule that she actually WILL be trying them!) 3. Fruit smoothies with veg thrown…

NICE! I've also seen the boobies in real life when I lived in Ecuador. They sell t-shirts to the tourists that say "I love boobies" with a pair of blue birdie feet under them. The boobie jokes are endless. Quotes from a trip to La Isla de la Plata with my parents to see the boobies include: "Never thought I'd take my…

ha ha! as I was wording my post, B_C beat me to it!

Bernadette, I invite you to follow this already posted thread, as well as the thread she refers to within (which includes many PubMed references) for some thoughts outside of MFP. Also, the dietary changes you are referring to that you have made are very different from what many refer to as "detox" I agree with Wetcoaster…

Whenever the product name is in the title of a thread, I immediately think sales! If you're trying to sell this, go away, we don't want you here! On the off-chance you're not selling, here are my thoughts: My sister is doing a similar shake, different brand (no plug, the name isn't important since they're all the same) and…
-
Pros: It won't kill you like a heartrate-stimulating pill could Cons: It's not a real thing. Detox is a total misnomer, since it's actually what you do to eliminate addiction to alcohol or narcotics, not lose weight. What "toxins" exactly are you looking to get rid of? Fat, even too much of it, is actually part of your…

Hi all, I ran this morning (only 2.5 miles) and walked yesterday. I will try to go to the gym tomorrow and run on Saturday (speedwork!). I was tired this morning, but I made myself do it, so yay for small victories! Liz: are those your new capris? wtg! Sherry: Looks like you're back in the game! Pam: WTG, you're workouts…

Gimme more! This is really an education! This is why those tabloid shots of celebs at the beach looking "terrible" are so shocking, we never get to see the real thing in print! I can't imagine what it's like as a model to see what the photographer "fixes".
-
I smell an advertisement! I'll stick with TDEE-% and exercise.

Love it! I ran with my mom as a kid, and although I gained weight, I knew exactly what to do once I made the decision to get healthy again. That's such an amazing legacy! Enjoy the 5k with your little running buddy!

my size 10 goal pants now button! still too tight, but these are ones my MIL bought after my pregnancy,and I really like them. I haven't been this size since pre-baby, and it feels great!
-
Have had a couple of late nights and it's been messing with me, but my eating is much better. Will do some walking today and run tomorrow.
-
NSV=Non Scale Victory, so like a new pant size, new record for running distance or time, the next belt hole was one for me!, a compliment from a stranger, a picture of yourself that you like on the first try etc. I was just saying that every time you notice that one of these items no longer applies to you, you'll be able…
-
:) mmmmm... carne asaaaada!
-
Just an observation: Some of these are just physical realities and we're working on them. I've experienced some of them and many of them are just NSVs waiting to happen! (I just realized I don't do the pillow thing anymore, and it made me feel great!) Some of these you can change today by letting go of your own…
-
Yay for a new and intelligent perspective! I'm not for eating extremely low cal, but this makes sense. Thanks!
-
You are correct, the problem is that people use this true statement to support the false statement that "muscle and fat weigh the same". When you are comparing the weight of different substances, not objects, you have to standardize volume. The substance that is denser will weigh more. This is, for example, why cooking oil…
-
yay!
-
oh yes! I'm a total snob about what's worth it to me now! It has to be something special!
-
Eat what you want! If it's really that much of a problem for you to not eat it, have some, it seems like it'd fit in to your calorie goal. Set a limit for yourself and stick to it. Make a salad to fill yourself up the rest of the way.
-
My understanding is that it also measures your steps throughout the day (and heartrate? not sure) and uses that to approximate a more accurate "calories burned" Please correct me if I'm wrong.
-
I like my blender and may check this out when mine poops out. but the good ol cheapo Oster blender basically does the same thing for me. Shakes/ juices are lovely, but weightloss does not come from a blender. If it gets you to eat more fruit and veg, then great! If you use it for margaritas, yum! We've all got little tools…
-
You have enough time to be conservative. I did a 16 week plan from starting at 3 miles being my longest, and I definitely didn't stick to the plan as much as I could've! and I did 2:38 (my goal was breaking 3 hours). You likely won't have any trouble breaking 4 hours if you make sure you get your mileage in. Also, I can't…

Question: Why Juice? Fiber keeps me full longer. I'm not saying it's bad, I just really don't get why someone would juice over eating the actual fruit and veg they're putting in.
