Kodiak cakes! You can buy online or check their site for a store locator. I find mine at Target.

Get a heart rate monitor! If you want one that works well and is on the cheaper side, look for the Polar FT4 on Amazon.

Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale, anything pumpkin from Starbucks, and chicken pot pie!

Things like work out tapes it would be impossible to do a guesstimate. To get an accurate calorie burn you'd have to utilize a heart rate monitor unfortunately. I suppose if you want a very rough estimate you could enter it as circuit training?

Are you using weights? If so, how heavy are they?

At the moment I have 9, if I had my way I'd be covered but alas I am too poor haha.

I don't think it's likely that you gained muscle overnight, but there is a good chance that your muscles are retaining water. Are you doing 30DS every single day, or are you giving yourself a rest day here and there? I find that if I don't give myself breaks occasionally then my weight goes up from not giving my muscles a…

Yes, I used sparkpeople from 2006 until about a year ago. I am much happier on MFP :)

Unfortunately you can't spot reduce. You could do 1,000 crunches everyday and while you will be helping build muscle, the only way to get rid of belly fat is to lower your overall body fat percentage.

Haha I wish that were true! I would definitely be VIP and maybe I'd get some other good freebies haha.

There's this one woman who is in her early 60s I'd say. At my gym there are fans around the cardio area and if nobody is using one, you can go grab one and plug it in in front or behind of your machine so you have the cool air blowing on you. It's really nice and I enjoy that they have that option. Anyways, this SAME lady…

I'm in! I got in a car accident almost a week ago and my injury has stopped me from exercising so it's been hard to stick to my calorie goal, but this will help me!

I love deli meat sandwiches too and I've had a hard time finding one that is lower sodium, so I've switched to just using leftover chicken breast I cooked myself as my protein on my sandwich or canned tuna in water which is much lower in sodium than deli meat. I still have days where I am a little high on sodium, but I…

You need to count the oil you put in the pan. Say you cooked 3 servings of the chicken and cooked it in 1 tablespoon of oil, I'd say there's 1 tsp of oil per serving.

Generally a protein bar or a protein shake.

You don't want to stay under 1,200. You want a minimum of 1,200 calories a day.

This morning in my yogurt :) When was the last time you had broccoli?

My favorite is just roasted with a smidge of olive oil and some s&p :)

Sitting on my butt? I took a vicodin because I got in a car accident Tuesday night and messed up my shoulder/knee pretty badly, so that MIGHT just make me fall sleep early. If not, might go over to a friend's apartment, but chances are I'll stay in and snuggle my cat/boyfriend and watch Criminal Minds.

I work in medical imaging as a patient coordinator. I'm also a freelance makeup artist.

You look fantastic! Congrats :D

Good luck to you on your journey! :)

Ohhh yes and I forgot! I like to get a salad with spinach, sweet onion chicken, onions, pickles, cucumbers and jalapenos with a little bit of the sweet onion sauce on top. Delish!

My favorite is the flatbread with the oven roasted chicken, no cheese, lettuce, lots of onion, pickles, jalapenos, cucumber and yellow mustard or if I'm feeling splurge-y, honey mustard. I also get it on wheat bread half the time, but sometimes I just crave that flatbread.

I'm 23 (almost 24) and I have 33 more lbs to lose :) I added you!

Yeah I'm all about the finger scrape and lick. Don't wanna waste any of that precious PB!

You can do Fresco in WA, Sometimes it is on the menu sometimes it isn't, because it's just a style you can get your meals in. You can ask for almost any taco or burrito fresco style. Also, I've gotten unsweetened iced tea at Taco Time before, it's called the Gold Peak Iced Tea, but then again I think Taco Time franchises…

I normally go through phases with my oats and tonight (yeah I had oats for dinner) i tried something new and I am in looove. I used vanilla whey, mini choc chips, White Chocolate Wonderful PB and some truwhip! It was RIDICULOUSLY filling for 555 cals. Seriously I'm stuffed now. Tasted like the most indulgent dessert EVER…

It is going to be completely different for everyone, and for most people it's even different each time. I've gotten anywhere from 150ish to 250ish I believe. I suggest getting a heart rate monitor!

I've done 30DS before and I'm back doing it again. Today was L1D6 for me so I'm 1/5 of the way through! Anyone can feel free to add me :)
