So if I'm not hitting my fat goal everyday that's ok? I seem to be under on fat, over on protein and right on usually on carbs. Obviously I'm super new to this!

I did it and lost 17 pounds. I did not buy any Advocare products afterwards and have now lost 55 pounds. I did it probably four months ago. It really just jumpstarted things for me. I don't think it was necessary but it helped me get started. My rep suggested I go right into another one. Of course I can't afford that, now…

Get an armband for your phone, most have a little slot for a key.

If you want to store it in the fridge put a little lime juice over the top then take a piece of saran wrap and press it down right into the top of the guac then cover with foil or put a lid on it. That will help a little. I never really make more then I'm going to eat in one sitting though! Avocados are delicious, welcome…

A little store bought (or homemade if I have the time) pesto with some chopped garlic added to it, slather it on the top into the oven it goes!

I just did the Run or Dye in Kansas City for my first ever 5K. We walked and ran about half and half, everyone was very supportive and there were all different fitness levels there.

A nutritionist told me once that anytime you eat either a meal or a snack it should have a protein and a good fat. Apparently the good fats help with the "feel good feeling" so you are more satisfied and the proteins help you stay fuller longer. I'm trying it myself. I have a hard time distinguishing between hunger and…

You will not get positive feedback when posting on the forums about crash dieting or really any other way of losing then following a healthy eating plan and exercise. HCG is a quick fix. Lifestyle change, hard work, and dedication is not but it will last much longer. Good luck to you

I don't really have any advice but I'm getting back in to it today as well and I'm heavier then you are. Good luck, we can do it, just take it slowly. Lindsey

Thanks for all the advice. I know it sounds silly but when you say cut out sugar do you mean all sugar even yogurt and fruit or just the processed/refined sugar?

Sometimes if I have been very good on the calories all day and have about 100 left I eat a cookie.....and I don't LOG it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to join please :) Lindsey

Don't be afraid to tell them what you want!! I eat out a lot and if I've decided to stay on track I just tell the waitress I want a grilled, seasoned chicken breast with a steamed or grilled veggie. I have never been met with anything other then people happy to oblige. You can also modify the menu, ask for cheese left off…

Ok so I just looked at this website and I'm intrigued and went ahead and signed up. Am I correct that they will send me one every two weeks and bill me $6.00 for a box of snacking goodies? I don't think this seems horribly expensive. I guess if they were coming more often then once every two weeks then it would be. Am I…

I have had PCOS nearly all my life and it does make it a bit harder to lose some weight. I have worked with a nutririonist before and what helps me the most to drop the weight is a diabetic eating plan. If you are insulin resistant (which most of us are) this really, really helps. Cutting out a lot of the sugar and simple…

Count me in, send me that meal plan! Lindsey

At this point not really. I'm just reading and being completely overwhelmed!! I'm sure at some point I will have plenty. It's alot easier to get fat then healthy I have decided.

I put a big thing of it in the blender with some ranch dip powder and make alot lower calorie dip for veggies or baked potato chips!!

Black bean chicken bake: 2 cans black beans 1 can corn 1 can green chilis 2 cups of salsa 4 chicken breasts Mix all the cans together, sometimes I put a diced onion in it also. Pour half in the bottom of a 9X13 pan, put the chicken on top then pour the rest of the bean mixture on the top of the chicken. Bake for about an…

333.1<<<<<<sucks, but it's going in the right direction!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else scared.....*cowering behind couch in my running shoes and sports bra* But I can do this!!

I accept your challenge!

I will give this a go, been wanting to try a Zunba video.

I slacked off and didn't get yesterday's done. I will do both tonight.

I'm in

I use Orowheat whole wheat sandwich thinks and I LOVE them. Lately I have been spreading them with a wedge of Laughing Cow garden veggie cream cheese, turkey and a few avocado slices. I also eat them in the morning toasted with peanut butter and bananas on them.

I'll do them as soon as I get home!

Done

I'm in will do when I get home from work. :yawn:

As a dip for a serving of baked chips!! This has always been one of my guilty pleasures. Of course it used to be half a bag of regular chips and a whole thing of cottage cheese!
