30 day shred. I take the dog for a walk instead of doing the cool down. Start there, you will find you have a ton of energy afterward. Also make sure you are getting enough sleep.

I just realized you are not in the states and don't have a Sams Club. I have heard that for protein powders you want a high ratio of protein per serving. so 20 grams of protein in a 40g scoop is only 50% protein, the poster said to shoot for 70%

I use pure protein plus, it is only sold at Sams club but it is a great price, low carb, high fiber, and has omega-3 added. I make smoothies with a scoop of that, a cup of almond milk, and a cup of frozen fruit ( blueberries, peaches, banana), it turns into a milk shake. amazing!

soup! my plan is to heat it up and keep it in a thermos so I can have some in the library. individual yogurts and granola (put it in baggies for transport). this may just be me but I love to suck on frozen berries, the raspberries melt pretty fast when you suck on them, and they are great if you let them melt then add them…

if it is that long, you should have a snack. you need to plan your meals to fit you. thinks like nuts, fruit, and popcorn might be good

that face is priceless!

I am in the process of getting diagnosed, I have a lot of the symptoms and am on metformin.

I plan on bringing some of the newer stuff that is in good shape to a consignment shop. You don't make a lot but it is better then nothing!

I love grilled veggies, onins, peppers, squash, all that stuff, but a little oil and salt and pepper. The grill brigns out the sweetness

I think some people are missing the point, if your child is morbidly obese and you continue to feed them crap, then that is abuse. When doctors tell you, you are killing your child and you fail to do anything, then you are an unfit parent. How do you feel when you hear about a baby being born addicted to crack, it really…

Taking a child away from a parent because they are obese will not solve the problem. If anything it will make them eat more. It breaks my heart when I see a family where everyone is overweight! As an overweight child I know how bad it sucks and I will do anything to not have my child go through that. I also know how hard…

my dog. this might sound weird but my boyfriend and I are more in love with her then each other I think. My camera is full or pictures and we will call each other to talk about something funny she just did. I also love trashy TV, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, all of those shows. I have to allocate myself an hour or two each…

pony tail with a thin band with rubber on it to stay. My hair is way to thick and heavy for a bun to stay. I love the idea of a cloth headband for sweat. I sweat so much and it makes my hair so oily!

i would suggest reading reviews on Amazon. I have a taylor scale as well and tend to weigh myself a couple times and get the average. I don't think the body fat % ones are very accurate. How would they know?

The idea is that carbs spike your blood sugar and make you hungry while protein keeps you fuller much longer. I would suggest trying the Zone diet approach by setting your ratios of carbs/fat/sugar to 40/30/30. This is much easier to maintatin for the long run. The carbs you do eat need to be whole grains. The zone diet…

this is great for you, but one of my fears, haha

this has happened to me several times. I am not sure what makes it happen but I take the little clip on thing off or rewet the straps. sometimes you have to restart it.

You know yourself best, but even if i fill up on other stuff first, I will eat the same amount of pizza.

too much would be 300 or more grams. I have mine set to the same ratios and have never been able to meet them with 2 protein shakes a day! The benifit of protein is that it keeps you fuller for a lot longer then anything else. As long as you are losing weight do not worry about it too much. as far as ways yo add more…

It is all up to you. Weightloss is about taking control of your habits and realizing you are the only one in control. I know how hard it is, my work has pizza parties all the time it seems, infact there is some in the fridge right now! Log the calories for 3 slices, once you see what it does to your diet you might be…

I wait till I am under 100. I fugure if I am still sweating bullets I am still burning.

carbs are turned into sugar which spikes your blood sugar, proteinis the way to go.

I have major feet pain due to wide, flat feet. They have solved all my problems. Each style has a different feel so I suggest trying them on in the store. They were difficult to get on at first but now they slip right on. I only use mine for gym/ work out videos and they have been awesome.

this is great!!! From what I understand it blocks fat absorption, but If you don't eat a lot of fat then I am not sure what it does.

Another high protein snack is edamame beans. You can buy them fresh or frozen, shelled or non. I use the frozen ones and heat them up and eat them plain. you can use them inplace of peas as well.

I want to be able to fill out my clothes. I read an interview that designers want the clothes to look like they are on a hanger. This such a messed up world! Not sure if this is going to far but I fail to understand anorexia, if you want to look like a model, why do you end up looking like a skeleton? I understand wanting…

it makes you retain water and it raises your blood pressure. Things like lunch meat and soups have a ton of salt in them.

Dont worry about the sugar from fruit to much. I would suggest eating two servings a day and things like berries are lower in sugar. Look up low GI fruits and that will give you some good options

is this on your actual ear? I have a friend that has a cross on her ear, it is hard to tell what it is. I really think it is how you pull it off. If an employer is doupting you it could be the reason they use to not hire you. The foot is not a bad option, it can be painful though.

what is it that you are getting, I love mine behind my ear, but it is just bigger than a quarter. The back is always a good spot and a lot less painful. Have have bigger stuff planed for my back so I though my wrist would be a good spot for something small
