Cheat days are good for your metabolsim to keep it guess. Its probably just water weight. I was on vacation for 4th of July gained a few and within 4 days it was all gone plus some. High sodium will make you hold onto extra water. Watch your sodium next few days and have some potassium that will also help it flush out and…

Omg you are sooo right, look at food labels really pays off. after awhile you will get the hang of it, my hubby got annoyed with me for awhile but now he understands. Like now I know to buy frozen rice instead of out of the box because no sodium. And I know market pantry cheese is lower sodium.

I am not a runner so I know training for it does involve alot of running. Maybe you should try running on some inclines. That will help you training and be harder. Are you running at the gym? I would say you need to for sure add in some strength training. Cardio is Cardio its great for the heart but doesnt really build…

Eating lean protein, I eat like 10oz of meat for dinner! Eat greek yogurt! Eat raw almonds unsalted (these are great for a snack and lots of calories) If you are going to have any breads have 100% whole wheat. Eat brown rice, I buy the birds eye that you can find frozen and you just microwave fresh fruit! Frozen vegi's…

Well said!!!! Its not a diet its a lifestyle change!

Eating clean I dont really ever want to go out to eat. I can make stuff taste better and for way cheaper. Plus when I was on my 4th of july vacation and I had a ton of junk food it made me sick. My body loves eating healthy! I dont crave salt or soda!

Oh and yes hiit training is AWESOMe, but strength training is WAY more important and burns soooooooooooooo many more calories then you would think and it doesnt really feel like work. I do only strength training at the gym and cardio on off days like riding my bike.

I hot a small plateau a few months ago and learned that every like 3 months you should have a week off, where you eat at maintenance and dont workout. It will help with you metabolism. When i did that I lost 4 pounds just like that. It was hard to do but worth it. Also make sure you are getting plenty of water atleast 12…

I have had a kidney stone and was in the hospital for it. I only have 1 scoop of whey protein after my worksouts. But i thought I would add that kidney stones are more caused from drinking soda which leeks calcium out and to much sodium! that was the cause of mine!

bump I want to know what Steve also thinks of your post. 50 reps on that machine sounds nuts.

With summer and every weekend being parties of all types its harder to not have a drink. I try to stick with Saturdays I have 1 or 2. But no more then that and I become sober cab. I like bud select tried it this weekend. And I think with a lime it would be amazing!

i use the app on my phone. bar code scanner is my best friend. But I also like to create a recipe so I have it for later use.

I agree with your post whole heartly. i think some people lie to themself with alot of stuff and wish for the lbs to just be gone. I think some people lie to themselfs and say they eat really well then they have 4000mg of sodium and 2 cups of water and then blame not losing weight on other stuff. I did some measuring out…

I did make these today and they turned out awesome, they cook fast so got alittle to burnt but it was fine. I made 4 of them. gave 1 to my 15mo old son and I had 3. I made the PB sanwhich and then on another I put greek yogurt since I was having that anyways. It was great will be making these ALOT! Oh and I threw al the…

I find if I drink water from a cup I dont drink as much but If I drink it from a water bottle with a straw all day long I can drink 12 cups no problem. But yes you do need 8 cups and eat under 2500mg of sodium in a day and no white flour foods because that will just turn to sugar and make you gain as well. But eating high…

My husband LOVES mexican so I like to make burrito's at home that are pretty healthy. Still working on making them EVEN healthier. I use whole wheat tortios I use Newmans Own salsa low cal, low sodium and all natural I use low sodium taco seasoning I use ground chicken or ground beef 1/8 per burrito I use low fat sour…

"All White" is a brand of just egg white that come in like a milk carton. 1/3 of a cup = 2 large eggs. So you probably used 1 egg to many.

Bump

Awesome job!!

my best suggestions about food is sodium. Like if I am going to buy chicken brests I look at the sodium first, some have 200mg some have 45mg. The chicken with 200mg was probably injected with stuff including salt water to make it look more plump. The more sodium something has the more processed and unhealthy it is. Also…

Whats your; Starting waist? 32 current Waist? 27.5 Goal waist? 26 maybe Height? 5'4

To help with bloating you want to increase your potassium. Eat a banana, add spinach to your salad, green grapes are also a good source. And yes cut back your sodium you want to be between 1500-2300 on normal days. So during TOM stay closer to 1500.

I take a Market Pantry MV called "for an Active metabolism". I figured I would be taking a MV anyways so why not try this one. I think the only thing it has caffeine in it which for me was good since I dont drink coffee or any pop.

You could of been at a calorie deficit for sooooooooooooooo long 3+ months and your metabolism could of had been in starvation mode. And now that you have not been tracking you could of been eating more and changed up your metabolism. If you have been at a calorie deficit for along time its good to take a 1-2 week break…

I go to Golds Gym and I love it. Been there for years. they have classes a pool and daycare. Its really really cheap too. I know the one I go to is open until midnight so check there website to see what the hours are in your area.

For me its grill season so its easy season. Grilled chicken breast just seasoned with mrs dash so no sodium added. I eat steaks and burgers and pork chops all the time. Just look for natural and check the sodium on meat!! I also eat birds eye steamable brown rice. That's easy and I microwave frozen vegis. Also look at vegi…

Omg they all look so amazing. Deni did soooooo good too!

And it could be coming from spots your dont measure. I wouldnt worry about i!

1 cup = 8oz I drink out of a 24oz refillable bottle so it counts as 3 cups and I refill it 4 times ;)

There is no magic number. I get Kidney stones from sodium. So there is many reason's to have less sodium! I do suggest to add it to your diary and stay around 1500. Its hard I know! If you buy stuff that doesnt have hormones add for meat it usually has very very little sodium!
