  • Try Allegro- AKA "Clown Juice". No idea why there is a clown on the Original bottle, but the stuff is awesome. I have tried Original, Teriyaki, & Hickory Smoked. All were good. I want to try the Hot & Spicy next. The good thing is that you don't even need to marinate your meat for that long to get good flavor if you're in…
  • You'd think if it bothered you so much that there was a repeat thread that you just might not click on it...Just a thought.
  • You sound a lot like me. Do you have GAD? I find that my anxiety keeps me from trying things that I am afraid that I may fail at. I am afraid to go back to school because I'm scared I may not do well (even if I do my best). I was afraid to commit to losing weight because I was afraid that even if I tried my hardest I may…
  • Line a baking sheet (with sides) with aluminum foil. Lay peeled & butterflied shrimp onto baking sheet without having shrimp overlap. Pour an Italian or similar type dressing over the shrimp and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Broil shrimp in oven until done. -You can also add in some portabella mushrooms to this and…
  • What a change!!! So glad you were able to find some clothes you feel (and look) good in! Keep up the good work!
  • I have felt the same way recently. I started out at 147 (at 5'3) on 6/10 and am down to 138 now. I would like to be down to 131 by the time my vacation rolls around in September but I'm not so sure that's going to happen (also I'm scared that I am thinking I'll look fantastic (compared to now) at 131 and that once I get…
  • Keep at it! It will come as long as you are taking in less than you are burning. Bodies do crazy things. Like recently I was at a plateau then "magically" dropped 2 pounds. Don't be scared by weight fluctuations either. Maybe try measuring your progress with actual body measurements instead of watching the scale. If you're…
  • I'm a soda person too (that's actually the thing I miss the most)! I usually like Dr. Pepper, Coke, & Pepsi but they don't fit into my macros if I want to have a snack and some decent meals. I agree, most of the diet drinks are super nasty and not even worth drinking. The only one I've come across that is pretty true to…
  • What he did was actually very considerate. The only time that I get upset when my boyfriend doesn't eat what I've cooked is when I've worked hard on something (he knows in advance that I'm cooking something time consuming or complicated) and he DIDN'T tell me that he already ate a big/late lunch because then I probably…
  • I bought the FitBit One and like it. I chose it over the Flex because of the reviews about people petting their dogs or moving their arms and having steps counted. QVC has them on Easy Pay right now I think.
  • The Funny Bone Comedy Club. A friend and I volunteered for a "hypnotist" show and have vowed never to show our faces there again for fear of being recognized.
  • I'm usually a brownie/cookie/cake fan so here's my "go to's": Mrs. Thinsters Chocolate Chip Cookies- You can have about 5 for about 100 calories (At Sam's Club) Snackwells Devil's Food Cake Cookies- You can have 2 for 100 calories Fiber One Brownies- 90 Calories per brownie (So far I've tried the chocolate chip and lemon…
  • I would say to let your wife eat whatever she wants to eat and worry about yourself and your daughter. You have to put your foot down on her feeding junk food to your child, especially since you say that it is having a negative impact already. Maybe try talking to the pediatrician about it while your wife is there any…
  • Not exactly sure but I'd also like to know if someone has an answer. I LOVE sweet potatoes! :) From what I can tell an 8oz sweet potato is about 150 calories. Edit: This is what I found:…
  • I didn't do too bad at all and still managed to gain a pound. Meh, oh well. *shrugs*

  • I'm 5'3 currently 143 pounds at 24 years old (started at 147 pounds 6/10/14). I started out eating 1200 calories and then eating back SOME of my exercise calories but I recently talked to a dietician who told me that she recommended that I eat 1200 calories a day AND burn 350-400 calories every day exercising to lose about…
