mmmm that wrap with rice and chicken sounds great! Thanks for sharing and great idea of prepping ahead of time. I try to most of times but I do not always make it :) www.carblovers.com check out their lunch menus. I eat the express plate or the dinner quesadillas most lunches. quick and easy!

I have black bean quesadillas most days. Makes 2 4 corn tortialla shells 1/2 black beans 1/4 cup shredded cheese 1/4 cup salsa I mash 1/4 cup beans and spread on corn shell and top with salsa and cheese. Put in skillet and crisp it up on both sides very very good and all for under 400 cals! I do use sodium reduced black…

I eat most of mine back. I just make sure I NET 1200 or a little more. I do not like to go below that because then I will gain. If I do 5 miles and burn 500 cals, I eat about 400 back. Sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. Really depends on the person and their body. Some will gain if they eat them back, maybe…

Hello!! I understand what your saying. My mother n law will do a weekly cal diet instead of daily. She says at end of week it all balances. My daily cals are 1350 but my maintaining cals are much higher than that. So if you go over a little your still losing. You just do not wannna go over your maintaining cals if it were…

Yeah I have barley with my banana in the mornings. Its not just a banana but its with other stuff :)

No worries hun. Im sure next week will be different if your doing all the right stuff and it sounds like you are. Try measuring yourself? Im sure you shrank somewhere and you might not show on scale but show on your body. Muscle weighs more than fat. No worries girl, your totally motivated and your doing awesome! Keep up…

For me, I have around 300 carbs a day close to 100 protien and around 40 fiber. My sodium is always under 2000 and fat is usually under. I walk everyday and eat about 300 of my burned cals. I focus more than anything on cals in and cals out. Oh and all my carbs are from fruits, veggies, and whole grains. But I eat the same…

Not sure if im on the banana fad diet or not but I have one every morning. They are loaded with good stuff and keep ya filled up so... I say they are awesome for ya! Some say they are bad for ya but I sometimes even have 2 a day and I lose weight every week. Good luck to ya!

This site is the best! I wish you the best of luck girl! This is a good support system here. Add me if you like. :)

Really??? I have a doctor who gave me tips on how to lose weight and he used the term starvation mode. He said for females 1200 was what my body needed in order to funtion properly. He joked about not eating and going into starvation mode and advised me to stay safe in that area. With you coming from a family of doctors I…

Iv been to Haiti and iv seen starving people. Starvation mode never struck me as a bad word. More of a medical term to help people understand what happens if they do not eat enough. People around the world at just starving. Not in starvation mode. Just starving period. Its hard to see people like that, but its real. Hmmm I…

Yes sounds very good! And girl im sure its just water weight. If you have been moving and eating out and its hard not to during that time, its just from all the sodium. Im sure you went wayyyy over and just need to flush it all out. I drink alot of coffee as well and tea. I know its not that great but I have a huge cup in…

She said it perfect here!

Its ok, go for it! Do not pig out but enjoy what you want in moderation. Every now and then you need a cheat day anyways. Enjoy it!

Most of my friends log as high impact aerobics. Sounds about right I would say. Good luck to ya!

Whole wheat carbs are good for you. Not as much sodium in the bread as there would be lunchmeat unless you go veggie.

Its so weird that I ran accross this post because I talked to a new friend today and she asked me to go to one this Aug with her. 9 laps in pool, 12 miles on bike, and 4 mile walk, run, or jog. Never done anything like this so its a first and I have not a clue how to train for something like this. So id be curious too :)…

Bread doesnt have that many cals for 6inch so I would maybe take 75 off. Or try their flatbread! Its thin and would be comparable to just the shell like you are wanting. Im sure they would be more than happy to tell you how many cals are in a loaf and just subtract 1/3 for the "stuffing" Its going to be pretty close I…

Thats great! I think your body once its in a routine will start burning and losing. Took me a while to find the right groove and eating in/out balance and exercise equation. Im happy for ya! Good luck on the rest! :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Leslie Sansone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is the best and has helped me to finally start losing weight. I do not have a HRM but I do log her as 5.0 walking. Which ends up being 500 cals for me and I eat probably close to 400 back. I have lost every week. I love her workouts. Your doing way more than just…

Bananas are my best friend. I eat at least one a day and sometimes 2. Very filling and loaded with potassium which if you are a runner or jogger you will want them because they help prevent calf cramps in your legs. I never worry about sugar if its from fruit. I get close to 100 a day and still lose weight. Carbs from the…

Talula May! I sound like a hillbillie stripper hahahaah

I do not like stuff that makes me hurt afterwards hahah but what I do now which is Leslie Sansone walk at home and im losing weight everyweek with her and I never hurt. If I hurt, then I wanna quit haha but this is just me. I wouldnt think you had to hurt to know your losing weight or doing it right. Good luck!

I know. Its working for me so I think ill just leave it alone and not mess with it. If I wasnt losing I would do something differently but like you said dont knock a good thing heheh :) Thanks all!

Leslie Sansone you do more than walking in place. Side steps, knee lifts, kicks and 2 min boost at the end of each mile (jogging) so im wondering if it all just balances out as a general rule of 100 cals per mile burned. Any thoughts to that?

At least you get what im trying to figure out. Not that the rest of you all dont, its just Leslie Sansone is telling me I just did 5 miles but I sure in the heck didnt run it. Im losing weight at a great pace doing what im doing and I dont wanna mess it up I just wanna understand the concept. hahah very very confused on it…

Wow, interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Ditto here. One week its really high and next its low and then none ect ect you get the idea. But I think your ok. Iv been walking alot! Some days 5 miles others at least 3. I eat all my cals back so id say your doing great! Eating healthy and under cals will help you lose and I did to but just about a pound a week but…

Thats awesome! So happy for ya!

I do not go to walmart much, but thank you thank you thank you for telling me where the pita bread is!!!!! I just thought they didnt sell it! Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
