Oh, and it's in the freezer section and I store it in the fridge at home. I wasn't able to find it in any other grocery store, though I know some people can find it in their regular store. And by regular store I mean like Walmart, Winn Dixie.... I only go to Whole Foods for things I can't find in those stores.

The brand I bought is Ezekiel. I found it at Whole Foods along with another brand and each brand had a couple of varieties.

Splenda makes me feel high/dizzy. And I usually have no sensitivity to foods. I drink Diet Coke like it's going out of style but if I drink something with Splenda in it I will "feel" it every time. I use Truvia at home for my tea and coffee. It scares me to think that doctors reccommend Splenda to pregnant women who…

OK I checked your diary, just skimmed the past few days. You go to fast food places nearly every day. And, order burgers and fries. Maybe try giving youself the goal of eating something from home a certain amount of days, and continue to increase those days each week until you're no longer eating the junk food.

Not to debate you but when I was in my very early 20's I went on a crazy diet. Some might say I was borderline anorexic. I was wearing a size 0-4 and I'm 5'8. I lost the fat, BUT I also lost muscle. My body didn't hold on to anything. I have a hard time believing that claim. However, I do bleieve that your body will USE…

Talk to your doctor about the side effects. Look into Wellbutrin. It has the opposit side effect, people have lost weight, or just satyed the same. Plus your fiance will be happy because it increases your libido. Talk to your doctor.

I love mexican, and that sounds good! When you asked in the past did they have no idea of what was in it, or the nurtitional content? If I ordered it I would just do a chili that I found on the database here, but I don't have as many hang ups about food as other people do. I'd just be a little more strict with future meals…

Nevermind, I see that you're female. I'm 35 as well, and as young as I feel I still have to remember that I am a woman. I've been trying to put on muscle because, at this age, if I just focus on losing weight I'll just look sickly.

I agree with this. And, just out of curiosity, what is your height? Are you male or female?

I suppose I cheat on weekends, if you want to call it that. That's when we eat out, if we do. For example, I like the veggie sub at Quiznos. It's got cheese, and advacado, not to mention a lot of bread. I don't do low carb but I do monitor my carbs and choose the healthy ones. Same goes with fat, so advacado is good thing…

I'm 5'8" and weigh 145. My goal is to lose a little fat but mostly gain muscle. MFP has me set at 1200 calories. After my workouts it's bumped up to 1500-2000. I always eat a lot of that back. I don't see how a person can exercise and not eat it back. I'd be a lazy tool if I didn't fuel before and after the exercise. On…

My spin instructor always announces the calories that he burns after a class and I go by what he says. Though I know it'll be different for me. He is usually around 800-900, one hard class he announced a little over 1000. Who knows if it's right but they all seemed OK with that number. The elliptical, for the 10 min that I…

I do a yoga DVD to stretch. Stretching always helps. But, you need to learn to love the pain. LOL Once you get warmed up in the workout the pain goes away. It'll be back after you're done. The pain is good, though. I find myself doing new workouts just to get the pain back LOL. Also, get some protein powder and drink it…

I should try it. I bought a DVD she made that works your abs without doing sit ups or crunches. It's rediculous (in a bad way). The move she came up with... you'd have to have the balance of a yoga instructor to get them done. I actually started to like doing sit ups and crunches because of that DVD. I'd turn it off and…

I only do 10 min. on the eliptical, just to get my heart rate up before doing weights. I do 5 min in one direction and than 5 min. in reverse. I don't do resistance, or whatever else you can adjust on it, I just get on and push enough buttons to get my time running. Than I get on the treadmill for about 5-10min. after…

I don't know, but I'd say eating cookie cake every day for a week isn't conducive to losing wieght.

You need a rest day. I go to the gym Monday and Tuesday for weights, Wednesday I do a spin class and a Yoga DVD for stretching. And I often times throw in the 30 Day Shred DVD at night or play soccer with my kids. By the time Thursday rolls around I'm pretty tired. I may do some light activity but if I tried to do weights…

Oh and I have sunflower seeds for salads and occasional snacking. And flax seeds that I grind up to hide in meals when I think about it.

So far I have gotten a Planters snack mix, Daybreak or something. And a Great Value antioxidant mix with almonds, chocolate, and fruit. The chocolate one was for that TOM. Those two has fewer fat grams than others. I'm OK with eating nuts and mixes like that but I do try to find the lightest ones. I also eat almond butter…

It's possible that you were just able to breath better outdoors. And it's easier to distract your mind with the change of scenery.

I use it a lot too. They used to have nutrition labels on a lot of their recipes. They may still have it on their pay version, but I'm not going that far. LOL There are a few other sites that have healthy recipes also. Cooking Light comes to mind.

Thanks. I'll make this on Sunday. I've been making a big pot of soup on Sundays and freezing a lot of it for weekly lunch or dinner. It makes things a little easier on me.

I am. I don't really have a rest day. I do from the weight training but I do a DVD or going to the park on a daily basis. You just have more energy in general. It is nice to feel the endorphins too.

My favorite is the veggie patty. I get lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and mustard. Sometimes olives. I also like the turkey with the same toppings. Oh, and I get the 9 grain wheat, I think it's called.

Thank you. I'll be getting those books.

Mine is not accurate at all. It's close, but I wouldn't rely on it. Plus some of the food items I pick from the list is something another person made at home so it's their numbers they are entering. What I made may have less or more fat (I tend to use a lot less fat), or I may have eaten more or less than that person. To…

Yeah, I found one that I like on my OnDemand. But, it's more of a stretching Yoga as opposed to a strenuous one. I do it on my off days.

Jillian Michaels has a good Yoga DVD. And, if you can put up with her, Denise Austin has a good one for "Buns". My library actually had a few, you may want to check yours.

I'm just now discovering Kale chips. They are great when you want a salty, potato chip like, snack. .

Why is GPS necessary?
