I use to LOVE running first thing in the moring before work, around 5am! Get up with the sun. HOWEVER I've turned into a gal who NEEDS her FULL 8 hours of sleep and with two kids, getting up at 5am and having a proper night's rest for my body is hard. Recently I've been having my workouts at the gym in the mornings, and…

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you: BUT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I drink about 4-6 liters of water a day (my body is happy to be hydrated) and experience the very.same.thing. SO frustrating when I get up several times a night to pee (or many times during the day) and am still thirsty : / I also watch my sodium…

To get my omega's and DHA in-I take UDO's oil. 1tbsp in the morning and one at night. Noooooo fish!

I'm in a similar situation to you. I'm 5'6ish and 188 wating to loose about 45lbs-I have my calories set at 1,300 a day. I also work out about 5-6 days a week and I have a VERY hard time eating the calories let alone what I burn during a workout. Before I was on MFP I'm sure I ate well over 2,000 calories so I've reduced…

Organic Tofu!!! It's flavorless and you can buy it in different consistencys like extra firm (my favorite!!!) or silk (almost like a liquid-throw it in a smoothie..or add a tsp of caco powder or blend with berries for a fun pudding!!)

Seriously. I spent the rest of the afternoon in a fluffy lulu hoodie and pants on!!! :tongue: Thank-You folks for the links!!!! I definitly came home and ate lunch right after my workout (cuddled in a hoodie!) so..I guess layering it up post work-out is the best solution!!! buuurrrrrrnn baby burrrn!!! :glasses:

- just want to add that a few days ago I was beside myself upset, I had been eating well and KILLIN' IT at the gym and GAINED SIX FLIPPING POUNDS AND 2 INCHES on my waist. I posted here and was given some great advice-muscle inflamation and water retention did me in!! A few days later I jumped on the scale (I'm so tempted…
-
I love this advice!!! I remember when I was a child and my Ma would start a new healthy eating program...I'd be SO stoked to eat the food with her, it was SO MUCH BETTER than the Kraft Dinner I was use to. Two Words: PITA PIZZAS!!!!! I live with two children under seven and make their dinners. Sometimes what I eat and what…

Ok...so net calories are the difference between the total calories I've consumed and what I've burnt off...and it is reccomended that I eat some of them? I'm sure MFP explained this to me when I joined two years ago..but I'm re-figuring this calorie counting thing out..it is a newer concept to me.
-
To make a long story short: yes, personally I have. The fronts of my thighs are coated in the damn stuff-my bum as a moderate amount..my hips a bit and even some on my arms. Last year when I lost 50lbs through diet and lifestyle..I definitly lost some cellulite all over!!! The more I workout and drink water, the more I…

YES!!! Me too!!!!!! Vegetarians are sexxxy...and protein challenged hah (at least I am :sad: ) I was a strict vegan for a year, felt great. I also do not eat eggs or cow's milk-but will eat something if it's a "treat" and has it in it. I also try really hard not to eat cheese...mainly because it does a N U M B E R to my…

Wow you folks, thank you so much for the support. I will open up my food diary for sure-but I've only updated it yesterday and for today. I'm back at mfp so it's not really reflective yet. I realize 1,000 calories burnt in cardio sounds like I could be over doing it but I don't think so..it's only about an hour and fifteen…

You can make your own solution with like, apple cider vinegar (smells nicer than white vinegar, antibacterial), lavender, tea tree oil, orange oil in a base of distilled water. Add to a spray bottle and whipe down after every workout :)
-
WOW!!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESS SO FAR, THAT IS AMAZING! And something to be really, REALLY proud of!! I'm also on a mission to be slimmed up by the summer and have about 50lbs I want to shed in total. I just joined yesterday and everyday I feel more and more motivated. I'm the same age as you and have constantly battled…

YES! Almond Milk is amazing
-
Ditto on the Stevia. ALSO- there's this honey type of stuff called Agave Nectar. It's juice from the cactus plant and does NOT effect blood sugar levels, so it's totally G.I friendly. I would highly reccomend this for green tea. :)

Spaghettie squash is such a lovely alternative to pasta. It's really nice if you crush some baked garlic ontop with some grapeseed oil and black pepper. Also delish with pesto!!!
