I"m there 6 days a wk, for at least 2 hrs each time, some days more depending on cardio.. I do classes Tues, wed, thurs sat., along w/ cardio, then mon, fri I do my own cardio and weight training.. I norm do 15-45 mins of cardio, normally the arc trainer or the stair master, burns the most calories in a short time.. The…

I also norm take a snack w/ me, banana, clementine, protein bar, or grapes for after my work out or mid way through.. If I go to a class in the pm, Normally something w/ protein.. if I eat dinner before…

Normally in the am, while I'm getting the kids ready for school and before the gym, I have a Low Fat whole grain waffle w/ .5 tsp of peanut butter.. great for on the go! then I take either a banana, clementine, or grapes w/ me, along w/ a protien bar for right after my work out.. Cottage cheese is also a good snack for…

I used to use the elpitical and treadmill, but didn't feel the calorie burn was the same or as high as it should have been w/ the time I was on it.. Plus those were horrible on my knee which is already messed up.. I'm w Nicvino on this (we go to the same gym) i like the arc.. I can burn 300+ calories in 30 mins and get a…

where are you from? My gym offers a class called "bodypump" it's a great class and taken 3 days a week for 6 wks you will see great changes as far as toning.. I take it now 3 days a week, still do cardio and meet w/ a trainer once a week and i love the results i'm seeing in my arms and legs! :) It's a heavy weighted class,…

The book is a good idea, it is a pain in the *kitten*... But why don't you sit down the evening/week before you are going to work out and plan out what machines you will do, how many reps and how much weight... That way it's all filled out when you get there, if you add anything different then just adjust it later on. I…

thanks everyone.. I didn't go to the gym, I to didn't want to get everyone else sick... Too cold here in PA and rainy for the walk outside! :( I am feeling a better today, ears still feel clogged, but overall not dizzy and feeling weak when stand, So I will probably go this evening either before or after dinner. I was…

The luna bars (Chocolate over nutz), is very good, lots of protein, as well as they Kashi crunch bars, lots of protein.. I normally have one of those before or after a work out.. Other things.. Toast w/ peanut butter, crackers w/ peanut butter, banana, Cereal w/ fat free milk and fresh fruit, or oatmeal w/ fresh fruit..

yes he eats them, but he knows the boys like them and me.. UGH!!! The bag is almost gone, so as soon as they are gone, will replace them w/ chips i don't like, but the boys and him do like.. Chips and salty stuff are my weakness. I am not into chocolate, icecream and stuff like that.. So this is where I lose it.. But I…

I am enjoying them.. I have been doing very good lately, but have been down w/ a cold, so didn't make it to the gym today.. I'm going tomorrow afternoon for a while though. Like I said they are banned after the bag is gone.

I think it's ok to snack on them, but just daily, at every meal, or replacing fruits and veggies you know? I had like 5-6 cool ranch dorito's today for the first time in 3 months.. they were so yummy.. but I drank water w/ them, I have not had pop in since I started this site, i have limited tea as well. Drinking mostly…

chased my kids around, did house work, ran errands, got caught in a snow/ice storm.. Pretty much the norm.. HAHA! Oh yeah and I have the cold from hell!

i'm from pittsburgh.. I changed mine to 2 a week. so we will see how that goes.

The Good, he supports my lifestyle and me going to the gym when I need to. The Bad, He won't JOIN ME! :( I really could use him either at the gym when he can, or eat like i do.. When i have cereal and fruit, he has icecream and fruit.. come on.. help me out.

thanks everyone, I didn't cut it all out completely, still have a cup of hot tea every now and then or a glass of iced tea, but not drinking Tea everyday all day!!!! More water less tea.

I am having this same problem. I have 3 young boys, 10, 5 and 2 1/2, they are always wanting to snack on chips and etc.. If I buy yogurt, applesauce and stuff like that, they will eat all of it fast.. My hubby has a sweet tooth as well, so there is always icecream, cookies around. I'm not into that stuff, but love CHIPS,…

thats what I've heard... I can never seem to meet my calories, although I may today!!! Starbucks coffee is killing me!!! :sad:

I pop my knuckles everyday almost everyday! My hubby yells at me all of the time for doing it, But still my fingers are small.. Maybe it's water?

a good protein shake, some fruit, oatmeal.

Its hard on busy days to eat right.. There are some days when I don't have time to eat the way I should, I think we all do..

The elliptical at the gym takes in my weight when I enter the program I want to do, I have to figure out how to get the calorie count on the treadmill at the gym. For some reason it doesn't show it.

Based on this post it's hard to tell, as everyone else said. if you are concerned talked to your doctor. I will be the first to admit, I had an eating disorder for many many yrs and still struggle to this day. I would go days w/o eating. Before I got married and had kids I was about 115-120 and I'm 5'8", so that's way too…

AGREED!

have you ever tried mashed cauliflower mixed in w/ mach and cheese? Or squash, it's SO YUMMY and better for you then butter

Do you like Curves? my mom did it for a yr she did really good for the 1st yr,and then she stopped losing. The exercises were to repetitive. Let me know what you think.

Hi and welcome to the site.. I have been here for about a week now and I really enjoy it. I like knowing what I"m eating and what's in the food that I'm eating. not just guessing my calories anymore. I hope you find the tools and support that you need in this group/site.

I LOVE VEGGIES!!!! Mix it up everyday, don't eat the same veggies everyday the same way.. Do something different w/ them, or find a way that you do like them and eat them like that.

I wish I could have made it to the gym today, but unfortunately my hubby worked late, and I was unable to get of the house. I did go up and down the steps to do laundry and did chase the kids around the house several times!! LOL not the same.. I am working over night tomorrow ( i am a nanny) they have a gym in their house…

I say it's up to you.. I think we all slip up every now and then when we eat, but I'm not sure about having a certain day as a cheat day. I just wouldn't want to go over board. Like today, I had a few wings and breadstick for dinner, my stomach was so messed up after I ate it. I haven't had that kind of stuff in a while..…
