what about that nutella stuff...its really good. I tsp maybe.

I know you don't want to hear this :) decaf TEA with equal... that's what I do...or at least try to. in desperation, I eat a fiber one chocolate pop tart (must be the fiber one brand)

They used a machine to measure after entering my stats (age, weight etc) I am glad I am within healthy range, I never imagine I would dip below the 15.4, this is unusual for me....but shows I have been working :)

I got my body fat % calculated today....and it has made my day, weekend..probably whole week ahead that it was 15.4%. Last year at this time is was 20, which is still good for my age...but the calorie watching, running & spinning has PAID OFF!! It has never in my life been this low. Had to tell someone who understood..and…

Do you run on the treadmill or outside? I think 13 minutes is just fine for starting out. Don't try to beat your time, just try to go farther than a mile next time...I think going a little farther at a slower pace is good... quit smoking and you will be able to endure more! :)

I say just do it. Get one race under your belt and then you'll know what to expect for all the others you will do. Have fun!!!

All I can say is that my body rebeled a bit when I cut my calories....so maybe this is your body getting used to the changes you have made. it could be the sweating, but I would hold off on acne meds and see what happens over the next few weeks...don't aggrevate the problem with harsh chemicals... Good luck!!

what are the calories, fiber etc?

You are a riot! Our mantra should be "must resist confection aisle"..haha I am just thankful the bakery isn't close to my house....well, not too close.... Maybe someone should take my keys.

Congrats on resisting cinnabon!!!!! Good for you....I wonder how many calories are in those things..

I bought donut holes for my kids as a treat. I never ever ever want to eat them. The kids eat them and if leftovers sit for a few days, I toss them...I have never wanted to try them at all..UNTIL TODAY. They were so good..and I ate hmm, lets see...about 8 of them!!!!!! I would have eaten more, but they are gone. I felt soo…

What kind did you get?

With each of my kids it took me at least 1 year to get back to my pre-preg weight. Although after each one I tried on my jeans within months of having the baby because I thought I would fit!HA! they didn't for a long time...

I totally agree with the previous poster, walking or any pool exercise is great!! Maybe get some small weights at home and do arm curls, start really small and work up as you lose weight and build muscle. You know, even a stationary bicycle at an even pace would be a good thing to start with. Good for you and good luck!!

Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad 4 sesame seed bun tops 1 small red onion 2 plum tomatos 3/4 lb lean ground meat (I used 95% lean turkey) 1/2 finely chopped dill pickles 3/4 ketchup 1 tbsp yellow mustard thinly sliced romaine lettuce -about 8 cups ( I think I used more) 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese slice bun tops into strips,…

ok do you mean an exercise ball that you can sit on? or a medicine ball to do crunches with? I sit on my exercise ball anytime I am sitting...at the computer, dinner, etc....helps posture... also do crunches on it (with medicine ball) push ups, etc....

don't try to compensate, that will just add more stress. Just stay within your calories tomorrow...a new day :) At least that's what I would do! Don't be too hard on yourself.

I am having the same issue today. I only have 670 calories left for the day/night!! I just ate 3 servings of graham crackers with some butter!!! BAD!!! I tried the water, but I just needed to eat.

Hey, that monitor sounds cool. I want one!!! I didn't know you could figure calories burned from a HRM...I have alot to learn about, I love gadgets too....

I am so sorry to hear that. Please focus on your kids, your health etc and stay positive!

Hey I need a $1 coupon for the F1 yogurt!!! I better start looking..... :smile:

Is SOOO good and only 80 calories. (5 grams of fiber!!!) The key lime flavor is like a dessert.

I just ate chocolate too..and its all ok!! Seriously, we have to live a little..and we can move on and not over indulge tomorrow :smile: be happy!

I really like www.roadrunnersports.com they have really helpful people you can call to help you figure out your arch, etc... I bought nice running shoes and no more back pain, hip pain etc...

Spinning class and the Arc trainer (similar to an eliptical) burn lots!!! That's what I do!

Good luck! Stick to it, its worth it.

Oh my gosh! Great! I ran my first 5k last fall and I was so nervous my legs were shaking, but then the crowds were cheering along the route and it was so fun! Have a great time with it, and be proud that you can achieve such great times.

Holy cow. That is mean. I have a friend and her husband is so scared of her losing weight and getting in shape because (or so we are guessing) he is scared of losing her. Do this for you! Pardon the expression..but to hell with him! Your efforts are for you!!
