Love the new challenges! Another suggestion for salads is not only to order the salad dressing on the side, but instead of pouring it on top of the salad... just dip your fork in it before each bite. I find that I can taste more of the salad dressing, I guess because it primarily lands on the tip of the tongue where the…

:blushing: what's a heisman???

ditto what she said :) I'm one of those who have my diary open to friends only. No one has ever made the slightest negative comment. I don't know who does or doesn't look it over. If someone made an insulting or critical comment, then I would realize they are not my friend and I would defriend them immediately. I make good…

Thank you :) It's nice to know there are such truly knowleable people on here. So... how is anyone supposed to know which members are worth learning from? Do they say in their profiles or something that they are nutritionists or doctors or something?
-
This topic is so incredibly frustrating for me. Because all this debate is not necessary. Just use your own common sense, and if you're not sure then do some research from those really knowleable, not those just spreading their own opinions and gossip. Actually, I feel (my opinion here, take it or leave it) that diet…

That's the same one we got. I love the multi-speeds and takes just 5 minutes to clean. I'm juicing only for my mid-morning snack, not for replacing meals.
-
Oh my!!! To do all those is quite challenging!!! Well at least I got one done this morning... 100 crunches! Will work on the rest when I get home from work :)
-
Wonderful tips! Thanks! Wish I'd known about the ant tip sooner!!!

I remembered last year my rash was Doctor diagnosed with a somewhat mild case of Foliclitis. Did some more research yesterday and along with juicing part of 1 meal, I started taking Tumeric pills yesterday. Supposed to be very good for skin issues.
-
Agree :)
-
What kind of rash? I only ask because I also have an ongoing rash which gets better and worse but never goes away completely and I've had it for a couple years now. The rash is teeny tiny dots and occasionally itches. I had a pb&j sandwich the other day and I started itching like crazy 30 minutes later, then took a…

Count me in!!! October 20... 11 weeks till my birthday... I'm 160 lbs now... Goal is to reach 145. That's a loss goal of 15 lbs, or about 1+1/2 lbs a week. I CAN DO THIS!!! How? Aim to reach my daily caloric recommendations minus 1, exercise 4 hours a week, abandon the wine and cocktails, drink 8 glasses of water each day.…

Good information! Thanks! I was just today wondering if it was bad to be low on the MFP recommendation, as I often go way under.

According to my recent research, be very careful with beets... Adding only 1/2 of a small one to your juice drink concoction :happy: The same for wheatgrass. If I remember right, it can *drastically* clean out your system if you use too much.
-
omg! Wayyy too funny!!!
-
How often do you go to your doctor to have your numbers checked? I can't wait to hear about his (or her) report about how you're coming along! :smile: How do you log in all the veggies and fruits calories? I got a juicer today :drinker: Not to be used for every meal, but just one to two meals a day. I'm not "getting" why…

Whatever I eat/ate or drink/drank ... EVERYTHING gets logged as accurately as I can (remember: if I don't for whatever reason write it down asap). At the end of the day... it's only your own honesty with yourself that counts. I can't deny it or cover it up by not having to see it in my food log the next day. How else will…

Love this topic discussion and so thankful it was started (Thanks ddakota!). :flowerforyou: Thanks for accepting my friend request, too :) I hope for us to enjoy our journey to healthier living. I found you when I saw a reply by one of my friends. Then watched the movie suggested, have read everyone's replies, and have…
-
Thanks for the link blu :) I didn't realize I was so short on my water intake. I'd noticed how much water you drink and thought it was too much and wondered how much was too much, so I did a search and found this topic :drinker:
-
I also find it frustrating with the many "diets" advertised. I guess If they all just taught us to eat HEALTHY, then they'd all sound the same and no one would be fat or confused. Sometimes I wonder if drug manufacturers and health clubs and junk food manufacturers aren't all in cahoots together! ;) But seriously, the best…

bump. :D

I second these! They are wonderful! and huge! and Yummy!!!

bumping this so I can come back to it :)

I have slow digestion with my IBS, so I "retain" solids for up to 3 or 4 days, which can easily add up to 3 plus or minus lbs gain on any given day. Drink more water, and make sure you're including lots of fiber in your diet. Try to avoid things which cause constipation. Under-active thyroid can cause constipation, so if…
-
LOL! Awesome!!!
-
My update is below my ticker. :( Gained a pound :( I was down by 1.2 lbs the other day! It's just slow digestion, I'm sure. Darn IBS! On a good note... my fat percentage is down from last year! And I just plain feel thinner somehow :D
-
I agree with all those who say to learn by it. Give yourself permission to have a a crazy day once in a (long) while!!! I/we love pizza and we've started ordering the Large Pacific Veggie from Domino's. Only 110 calories and 20 mg of sodium for each slice. It's DELICIOUS!!! 3 slices are just over 300 calories and only 60…

So far, I'm only on the treadmill. Just finished w4d1 yesterday... but had to cheat a bit for the last jog, by power walking. Did great the first run, but I may have been going too fast with my walks/jogs and wore myself out too soon. I think I'll do a do-over tomorrow or monday. No problem with shin-splints so far, but I…
-
You'll notice some changes within the next couple of weeks ;) No, Really! LOL! Seriously, the scales will argue with you for every salty thing which passes your lips and for each day that your body is slow to digestion! Drink more water. Eat more fiber foods :) Respect what your body can and can't do right now this second.…
