Oh wow it does look like 30DS helped! Your tummy and thighs definitely look more toned. Keep up the good work!

Good for you!! Keep it up!

omg, now I'm a little freaked out - I should NOT have googled about yolks. I found out that white part (not the clear egg white, the tiny amount of white thick mucus towards the edge side of the yolk is where the chick would form and that if there is a tiny red spot in it, that means the egg was fertilized (?!) :huh: . I…

Eggcellent thread. this thread is making me laugh :laugh: Just in case anyone else needs a laugh...I'm with the ladies that thought the yolk was the chicken. WTF? I'm pretty sure someone told me that when I was young. And until reading this thread I was also pretty sure that the white part that is sometimes with the yolk…

haha that made me laugh out loud :laugh: My parents too used to make it like some of the others suggested - like a hamburger or "crab cake". It tastes good, not fishy and gross, but I'm not sure I could make a "tuna salad" out of it. I'm just not a huge fish person though... ETA: If you have kids, here is a tip: my dad…

Thanks so much for posting this - it sounds delish! I'm definitely going to try it soon:smile:

Maybe try to think of it in smaller chunks, when I saw your post I immediately though - wow almost half way!!! You've been doing things right so far, so keep it up! Like others said, I try to remind myself about how much better I actually feel when I am eating healthy things (less gas, more energy, etc). When I don't want…

My diary is open to friends too so feel free to add me! I am new here on MFP (1 1/2 weeks) so I don't have a long history of food logs to view but I log every day - exercise (if applicable) and food (even when it's bad like cadbury eggs!). I am eating TDEE - about 20% (a little less so I don't go below BMR). I am moving…

Congratulations! That is fabulous!! I'm sure you are an inspiration to many!! Keep up the good work!!! :smile:

For me a huge problem is soda and beer :drinker: , really anything carbonated --> serious gas. :embarassed: Oh and also cruciferous (sp?) veggies are big gas makers (i.e. broccoli and cauliflower). They're good for you so keep eating them but maybe not if you're going out that night or not at work for lunch :laugh: p.s. I…

Oh I really hate when people talk about "muscle turning into fat" as in, "I used to play sports but when I stopped by muscles turned into fat." No, what really happened is you didn't work those muscles anymore but kept eating like you always did and you lost muscle mass and added fat. There was no magical process by which…

I disagree with people saying not to worry about sugar. There is a lot of medical and fitness literature out that says eating too much sugar causes your blood sugar to spike and crash, this is why you're hungrier after eating something w/ high sugar than something w/ same calories/fat/protein but no sugar. It happens to…

Definitely change to a tech sock! I have them and I never get blisters but one day all of mine were dirty and I wore cotton socks - got a blister on my toe. Also think about how you lace your shoes because it sounds like maybe your toes are trying to grip and that rubbing is causing a blister (just a guess/thought). I…

I like it too. The brand Stevia in the Raw is a good one becuase nothing else is added (unlike MANY other stevia containing sugar substitutes). I haven't heard anything bad about stevia (yet) but as someone else said - everything in moderation, still don't want to overdo it. I just need something in my coffee in the…
-
I have been looking into this as well because I too am trying to eliminate added sugars. I found out that if you stick to PLAIN greek yogurt (any brand probably) it should have the least sugar but will still have some becuase milk has sugar. Then do as the others suggest and add honey or fruit if you like more flavor. I…
-
I agree w/ the previous poster. I've never heard of it being a problem. The only problem I've heard of is that if you make a huge sudden increase in your fiber you may have diarrhea :) I was also noticing that the fiber number seemed low as I thought you were supposed to get more becuase fiber helps you feel full and makes…

I have splenda when I'm out and about becuase I like that better than the blue and pink packets. But at home (and at work becuase I bring some with me from home) I have "Stevia in the Raw". I found it at Kroger. I think it tastes good and is not bitter - maybe it is some of the brands people are trying? You have to be VERY…

Being stressed! Also just seeing sweets - makes me start craving them and makes it hard to resist. It's best for me when I don't have any at my house- out of sight out of mind (sort of). I really hate when the secretaries here have candy sitting out in bowls that I have to walk by. I just try not to look so I won't get…

I like vodka soda with lime. Vodka and diet tonic is ok too but most places don't have diet tonic so I stick to soda. I love the previous poster's idea of crystal light - I'll have to try that. One of my friends (when making drinks at home) mixes vodka and G2 which is a similar idea. I think I remember reading that vodka…

I am just getting back into running and doing a program similar to C25K, but I"m only in week one so far so we'll see how this goes... 2.5 yrs ago I wanted to be a runner too and I didnt' like the structure of a program that made me walk x run y, so I just went out and told myself I'd go for 30 minutes and run as much as I…
-
I would suggest going to a running store and/or looking online at watches and heart rate monitors that calculate running pace/distance. My heartrate monitor (Polar, not sure what model) has a shoe accessory that you can use and that will tell you how far you've gone and your current pace (wifi links to your wristband so…

Another vote for sweaty bands! I love them! They are the only ones I've found that will stay on my head. They have velvet/velour on the underside and that makes it grip to your hair w/o pulling. They don't leave creases on my hair, which I think is becuase of the velour and becuase they are 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. I used…

Exactly what I needed - thanks!

Karenhray - Unfortuneately, I don't think the elliptical is equivalent to running. This is just based on my personal experience. I used to be able to do 45 min hard core on the elliptical but couldn't run for more than 10 straight. I think the muscles are used differently. As for shin splints - I was a runner 2.5 yrs ago…

I'm doing something similar but it is from Runners World. It has you run/walk 4 days a week instead of 3 and keeps you moving for 30 minutes at a time rather than 20 or so that the C25K does. I just did day one yesterday (run 1, walk 2, 10 times) and it was great. I chose my program over the C25K becuase I thought it would…

I have a serious sweet tooth too. I like the jello thing too (I get sugar free). I also buy the sugar free jello pudding mix and mix it w/ skim milk. It's ready in 5 minutes or less and there are a ton of flavors. You can portion it out into 1 cup servings and keep in your fridge. I also like low cal chocolate milk like a…
