  • take it one day at a time. if you have a day where you "mess up", that's okay - just keep going... you will get there...
  • Wow! Amazing before/after photos! An even more amazing accomplishment!! Congratulations!!!
  • fatfreevegan diets desserts & dogs 2 blogs that i love...
  • gotcha! Jumping rope is one thing i can actually get my kids to do with me! We laugh a lot when we do that together! I think I have the most uncoordinated 8 yr old girl on the planet! haha! But at least we have fun!!
  • Sounds like you are not eating enough. (1) You never want to go below 1200... starvation mode is real, not just something people say... your body will hold onto whatever it can if you are not giving it enough nutrition to function properly. (2) By skipping, do you mean meals? Try not to do that, either... this will mess…
  • http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/ This woman is GREAT! So many ideas for meals, recipes, etc... check out the site! BTW - my daughter is gluten free and i have yet to find a bread we like... I am dairy free and nut free and meat free and egg free... eating out our house is delightful at times! good thing i love veggies!! :o)
  • a blog i check out regularly is really good.. http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/ check that out... lots of good ideas... :o)
  • my breakfast many mornings is this: 1 banana handful frozen strawberries handful frozen blueberries water cinnamon vanilla bit of pure stevia handful or two of fresh spinach you cannot taste the spinach but it gives you tons of energy and nutrients! it is listed in the databse as 'Homemade - Strawberry, Banana, Spinach…
  • oooh! thanks! i am going to try this!!!
  • haha!! that was my question, too! :o)
  • i have no similar story, but i did lose my mom to cancer. i took on the loss, besides leaning heavily on God and knowing that there was a plan and a reason for everything, by deciding that this was a wake up call to me to take care of myself. i actually started my healthier living when mom was diagnosed but when she…
  • I was thinking Banana Chips, too... but looking online, I cannot find potassium listed... Also, Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps - they have a number of different varietys including a Banana/Strawberry mixture. These should be able to tolerate the heat!
  • I LOVED these when I first discovered them... and then I realized that I was just becoming addicted to another drink... like I was to diet coke before I cut out caffeine. I was drinking just one a day, but I found that if I skipped a day, I would get a terrible T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E headache. I realized it was the artificial…

  • I made this a few years ago for a gluten free friend... i forgot about it until you mentioned this! we are trying a gluten free diet for my 8 yr old right now (hoping to clear up some digestive and behavioral issues... made it thru 2 days so fat... oy...) ANYWAY - this is yummy!! AMAZING BLACK BEAN BROWNIE RECIPE 4 ounces…
  • I love to have tomato sandwiches. Just whole grain bread, vegenaise (i am vegan so regular mayo won't cut it), tomato and then either sprouts or avocado. YUMMY!! And this is portable - just package the tomato by itself and build the sandwich when ready to eat! Also, try a wrap with hummus, cucumber and tomato slices.…
  • bring carrots and cucumbers and grape tomatoes and bell pepper strips to keep at your desk... that way, if you want food, you will have healthy, very low calorie options... good luck!
    in HELP!!! Comment by kellycrow June 2010
  • ooohhh.... hadn't been able to go due to school commitments but tomorrow i am FREEEEEEEEEEE (after Curves, of course) so i will stop by ours... Wednesdays!! thanks!!
  • i used my HRM a few times to get an average and entered it myself as a cardio... i burn around 500 calories during a class... (funny - your starting & goal weights are the same as mine... meet ya there at the finish!! :o) )
  • I'd like to hear the answer to this one. In my uneducated-in-these-matters opinion, it is NOT the same... fruit is NATURAL. There is nothing natural about a brownie... if anyone can find me a brownie bush, I would be overjoyed! haha! But seriously, fruit has so many other redeeming qualities and I just never worry about…
  • is there a reason you are looking only at packaged foods?? i personally try to avoid prepackaged foods because they are generally processed, high in sodium, and just not 'real' food. I DO, however, enjoy the packages of dehydrated fruit that kids sometimes bring for snack at preschool. I have to find out where they get…
  • After injuring my foot wearing $20 Target sneakers (which were really cute, but...) and then a month later walking the gravel track at Relay for Life for 13 miles, I decided to go to a running shoe store to get some REAL shoes! I went yesterday. They had me walk on a treadmill while filming the back of my feet, calves. It…
  • I got the headaches, too, but they go away in just a few days. Take motrin or tylenol (NOT excendrin as it has caffeine in it!!!) and get your sleep. Doesn't the fact that you get a terrible headache without caffeine prove to you that it is an addictive drug?!?! Shouldn't that be a clue that it is bad for you?! I know it…
  • i quit caffeine long before i worried about my diet. my main caffeine intake was through diet coke... ugh... i had coffee at times but not often. i had a few days of headaches but then it was over. i never felt (nor do i now feel) drained without it. as a matter of fact, it is a freeing feeling to not have that…
  • I saw that on the news yesterday. (didn't look at the link, just assuming it is what we saw yesterday) I am with you - I won't eat those things anymore. I try hard to avoid the overly processed foods like that anyway. And the sodium... oy! don't get me started!! haha!!
  • Thanks. (1) REALLY??? about the Curves thing??! REALLY???? They have a 'Smart Tag' thing that supposedly tells you how many calories you have burned and mine consistently says 350-450 calories. If I have been eating those calories (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't) then clearly I have been going over my allotted calories.…
  • http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/ this blog should help... she is actually vegan but also anti-candida... hopefully you will find some useful information...
  • I rarely even get close on sodium (although sometimes i just wanna eat salty things! haha!)... i have found that the more processed food i eat, the higher the sodium... try to eat more fresh, raw fruits and veggies... even some of those have sodium, but you will find that you are eating less when you replace processed…
  • mine is at 26.21.... i'm getting there!! :o)
  • i am frustrated too... i lost the first 20 so quickly... but now... well... i am stuck... i am still working out, eating well, etc... but when you are frustrated, it is easy to let things slip which i think i did for a little bit. on tuesday, i met my husband for lunch and we ended up at the cheesecake factory. i am vegan…
