  • when that happens to me I eat nuts...I think it's the best choice. Oh and you can change the amount of protein for your daily goal by swiching to "custom" goal instead of "guided". I have mine set to 40/40/20 because that's what keeps me satiated...plus if you're athletic you'll need that extra protein.

  • I'd just like to add that I use Stevia as well and it DOES have healthy benefits. :happy: Splenda was not approved by the FDA until the then surgeon general passed it...who now works for Splenda. EHEM!:noway:

  • Lol...so true. There such a fine line between pushing yourself and pushing too hard...it sucks doesn't it? You may want to ice that too. Heat may aggrivate it more. I'd google that symptom to find out more about it.

  • Strange things start to happen when you push your body to the max. I've been having the same symptoms myself. It may be the pill, but I doubt it. Last time I trained for a 10k I skipped a period altogether, but I wasn't eating enough either. Maybe you should try eating more. (Training properly can be expensive)

  • Take comfort in the fact that there are so many others in your same shoes. Reading your post made me feel like I could definately relate. I've noticed being able to resist temptation when I have a more positive self image. (LOL...I have this mirror that makes me look 20lbs thinner and knowing that's what I could look like…

  • Just do the best you can. It sounds like you're being really hard on yourself. Don't give up! Just treat yourself right. Eat healthy and keep your heart, lungs and body funtioning as best you can. The best advice I ever got was that just because you don't see changes on the outside, doesn't mean they aren't going on…

  • Oh yeah sub away!!! I always use low fat cottage cheese. You can also use a little crumbled goat cheese which is low in fat and high in protein. Goat cheese also come in different flavors to add "BAM" to your lasagna without the added calories .

  • You want it because you can't have it! Anyone on here can relate. Sometimes other foods can trigger a sugar craving, like sugar substitutes and salty or creamy foods. Find out what they are for you. The idea is to get your blood glucose in check to curb the need and you will need to balance it out the whole day. Find what…

  • CIRCUIT TRAINNING!!! It's my favorite! I feel the same way you do. I love the feeling of weight training, but cardio is so repetative and boaring for me too. If you're unsure how to get started with circuit trainning buy Jillian Michael's The Biggest Winner DVD set w/ "Full Frontal" and "Back in Action" It really gets your…
