Think of it as a learning curve. If you are faithfully logging everything you eat you will then have, at a glance, just what goes in your mouth and you can use it to streamline your diet plan. I did this when I first started here before the hiatus....I was shocked at how many calories I could pack on and thinking I was…

I would think protein and carbs...that is what p90X suggests with their supplements...I have that system, I just don't think im in good enough shape to try it out yet. I also heard you should eat back at least half of the calories you burned with workout.

I am 5'9 and my goal is 150 lbs.

Metabolism and the big killer..water retention. :) Our bodies do crazy things whole on that TOM...I know mine does...crazy cravings, weight gain for the days I am on...mood swings...fun fun fun.

It may help the weight melt off, but at what price? A healthy, balanced diet should have grains, myplate.gov suggests a certain amount of grains and that half the total should be the whole wheat variety. I would research this idea a bit more, just to be on the safe side that there are no health risks associated with…

Do drink packets count as "bad"? Like crystal lite and stuff...I am trying to cut out all soda and have started using the packets....I usually have no trouble with drinking water...I can go through 2 32oz bottles in a few hours..but it is kicking the sodas that is so bloody difficult...so far I have managed, but only…

Hi! I am an eclectic pagan as is my husband and now my 13 year old daughter has expressed an interest. We follow a little bit of many paths, particularly wiccan, druidic, celtic....I revere mother nature but I hold the god/goddess in equal esteem. I have been here for a few days, though I joined a while back but then kinda…

I looked at your other work and you are awesome..I am not joking. I LOVE the picture of Will Turner and Jack Sparrow.....had I come across your gallery when we were hiring artists you would have found an email in your box asking if you would have liked to do a few pics for the game..I like your stuff better than the artist…

I would have sent back a massive rant right back about how she may think her >>>> don't stink..but guess what, not only does that stink but so does her eye for art. Personally i think she may have been jealous, because that is a very nice piece of work and guess what? Me and my hubby worked for a time with a game company…

Borax and washing soda can be found in the laundry detergent isle...borax is like 20 mule team and washing soda is made by arm and hammer...there may be other brands but those are the ones I know..I get it at walmart.

Basic laundry recipe: 1/2 cup borax 1/2 cup washing soda 1 cup shredded laundry soap bar(fels-naptha, zote- or you can use regular bar soap like dove/ivory) Just mix it all up in a lidded container and give it a good shake/stirring each use and I use a tablespoon for normal wash and 2 tablespoons for heavier soiled…

I make my own laundry detergent. I buy most food in season or pick from my garden in season and then I make most everything from scratch. I save all the ends of vegetables, like celery, carrot tops, potato peels, etc. When I get a full bag I buy whole chickens, cut it up myself into the piece and boneless/skinless breasts…

I had some snotty college age guys walk by me in the store parking lot..I had an apple in my mouth as I was loading the car up on groceries when they started laughing about "the luau pig". They started laughing even more when said apple brained the joker in the back of the head. :) My personal favorite response to any…

You are just like me! How tall are you? I'm 5'9 and I weigh 286 but not too long ago I weighed 297! I am always hungry. Right now I am doing 1600 calories a day, so yours may be waaaaay off! I started the eating 6 small meals throughout the day, roughly every 3 hours. This seemed to solve my problem and now not only do I…

Whee! I'm in!!

Wow..it seems the opinions go one way or the other. But I think it it is wrong to say eating more often makes your blood sugar stay high..it actually makes your blood sugar stay level and the opposite is true..you can avoid diabetes by eating in this fashion. BUT only if you eat right....eating this way works for me VERY…

I have recently started eating 6 meals, about 3 hours apart. I also exercise periodically throughout my day because I am too out of shape to sustain long singular sessions. So far I have found that I am more energetic, feel better overall and am never hungry. I got out of the habit for a while and my energy levels went way…

I know all about having to eat healthy and cheaply! My food budget is the highest in my budget except rent, to feed 7 people. I also use all recipes site as well, it is a tremendous help! I have found one way to buy cheaply is to use wal-marts price matching policy. Get the adds from all the stores in your area (you can…

Oh I didn't even think of cable and on demand....do you know what channels?

I want to try the Wii fit and active..but have to get a Wii first....I started using My Weight Loss Coach for the Nintendo DS....and surprisingly I really like it...you can track your food, workouts, it offers you challenges and such...it is a nifty little motivational tool.

I agree I think the HRM would be more accurate because you get different calorie burning with your heart rate, I think that is why they call some exercise low intensity and high intensity.

Hey check out youtube, you can find samples from many videos and you can kinda see what you like..that is what I am doing. Some even have sample workouts so you can try it and see if you like it.

I am in the same boat as you. I am horribly overweight and very unhealthy. I started to exercise and can only do little bits at a time. But then I realized that ANY sort of exertion is helpful, even if it doesn't seem like enough. I have an elliptical machine and at first I could do half a minute before crying..after a few…

I currently weight 295 lbs. Those are some good ideas and I think small goals is good because they are easier to reach and maybe have a less likely chance of getting bummed out? I also had a thought about goals..what about to drop a clothes size? I think I would be really jazzed if I could fit into a size smaller…
