Hi Everyone! Hey Claire, do you make your own hummus? Made some last night for first time-it was delicious-never buying store bought again! Name : Cheryl Location : High River, Alberta, Canada CW : 127 lbs GW for this challenge : 120 lbs GW : 118 lbs Workouts : Jillian Michaels "ripped in 30 days", weight training, running…

That's awesome! what event is she training in?? I was lucky enough to get to carry the Olympic Torch last year!

There are often question on MFP regarding how many calories to eat. I for example have set my caloric intake at 1200 calories. by exercising it is easy for me to get at that 500-800 calories a day. For the first three weeks I didn't realize that I had to "eat back" my exercise calories. Do you think this is what could be…

liquorice babies. I would get up out of bed and hunt them down! LOL

what kind of peanuts??? salted, unsalted, skins off? I love this idea, my husband loves his PB

bump, very interesting! Cheers!

Generic - Popcorn, Air-Popped Net Carbs, 2 cups 60 cal 10 carb 2 protein And THANKS to everyone for all the great ideas!

Also, I too eat every 2-3 hours and drink lots of water. I find a glass with a straw makes this much easier.

I agree after peeking at your diary some of those calorie counts are way out of whack! seems like everything with the word homemade. I encountered this also, so i tried playing around with the different entries and noticed a huge difference with the caloric counts. Try keying in your food items that you eat regularly under…

Yes! I can't believe how many people recommend this stuff! This is a great thread, thanks to all for info and the participation!

I agree! My Family has been on the Clean Eating diet for 7 weeks now,,,,,we will never go back to the "old way" of eating processed, sugar laden, chemical filled, junk food again. Eating Clean is a lifestyle change. Initially it takes a little getting used to, but now we love it! it is basically eating the way our…

Great job! Even the lady on the TV -last photo- is looking! LOL!

My husband and I have been "eating clean for 7 weeks now and love it. I heard about it through a friend and thru reading books by "Tosca Reno", she very knowledgeable in this subject. It is basically cutting out processed foods, junk foods and sugar. You eat every 2-3 hours six times a day as opposed to eating three square…

there are so many threads regarding this topic! you need to do a search about eating enough and eating your exercise calories, and starvation mode. in short, you are not eating enough! 1200 calories is not a lot, you really shouldn't go below it, when you exercise you are burning even more calories which means you need to…

protein!

When i realized my "handles" fell off! LOL! Couldn't believe it, just noticed one day they weren't there anymore :)

i have Jillian Micheals "ripped in 30" is this the same w/o? does anyone know, if not what are the differences if any. Thanks I will start level 1 today, although I am trying to figure out how to incorporate it in with my weight training and running. My husband and I are on the last nine days of our 8 week fitness…

Excellent post! I am taking your advice and increasing my calories! I too have been following the clean eating method. Look better, feel better. thanks for the tip on peanut butter!

BUMP AND THANK YOU! I am new (6 Weeks) to this website, and already have seen a stall when I didn't eat back my exercise calories which put me under 1200 cal per day. I am eating them back now! Good luck. "Tough times don't last, Tough people do! " You will get through this:)

I just stab mine with a knife a few times at each end and MICROWAVE for about 20 MINUTES, cool slightly, cut in half, scoop out seeds and viola, easy and delicious spagetti squash!

"EAT CLEAN" by Tosca Reno. Go to library read up. I have been following clean eating for 6 weeks now, lost 12 lbs and feel great!

what about the salad minus cheese, plus tuna? Please tell me it's okay, It's the only thing I eat there now since I found out how fattening the wraps are! LOL!
