  • its probably because ur still hungry and crave/want more. you can follow it up with fluid and see how you feel, after 20 min if your still hungry you can eat something else.
  • ive been on an omlette craze lately, 3 whole eggs, feta chese, salsa, and add any kind of other veggies you like.
  • lol I don't know why I added "for you" after pb2 but its PB2 powdered peanut butter ha!
  • theres a lot of people who can eat pb by the jar, im one of them, schmuckers all natural chunky pb mmmmmmmm. Anyways PB2 for you is a powdered pb which is further processed to remove more fat. You add water to the consistency you want and it will def give you the taste of pb with a lot less cals. It's not exactly the same…
  • first yes congrads on the loss. A couple things to remember is if you solely rely on your diet to lose weight it will be slow and most of the time not as fast as you'd like. You do mention you workout on occasion but remember, all the caloric numbers/goals etc are theoretical and are guidelines that are not set in stone…
  • everyone is going to have their own reasons for action taken on booze intake - or even removing it. this will depend on your habbits when drinking (on top of the additional cals). for me, I want to eat while drinking for the most part. when I was over-weight I would not only over-consume booze but I would add food cals to…
  • I have a sweet tooth and this is what I had to do. I had to re-train myself how to eat. I great tool for this is to weigh your food and track everything on mfp just to show yourself what proper portions are. I still have cookies, pizza, wings, candy, etc but I log it and as logn as your true to yourself and commited (don't…
  • On top of all of the above, a cardio exersize that always kicks my butt is stairmaster!
  • I'm all about the fiz! If you can have room for that 12 oz can of soda why not? Yes I know thats not the point of your post but just had to say it LOL. Anyways they ahve those mini pepsi cans which you should give a shot. Also Since I like the fizzy drinks theres stuff called sparkling water thats flavored, yes it's not a…
  • Brewfest!!!!! Concert, food, micro brews, > 3000 cals for this guy!!
  • and you can mix any meat u like or veggy toppings just watch the amounts. nuts, bacon bits, YES BACON!!! I really like the taste of those sweet banana pepper rings too. canned beats are also good.
  • check out my food diary, I typically have salads for lunch on weekdays.
  • I think it's important to realize where the numbers actually come from. The cals you eat, goals, etc are theoretical (calculations) that need to be applied to you over a long enough period of time for you to justify them to your body. Also food calories are not 100% accurate (even if you weight them) so that is also a…
  • yes spiders.......KILL THEM WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!
  • One of the biggest changes for me is my confidence. I would no longer say no to doing something thinking I'd look like afool or wouldn't be able to do it because of my wieght. I've very confident in myself now and it clearly shows. Confidence opens other peoples eyes too and they look at you in a different manner. I no…
  • this is exactly what I expected and why so many people struggle with this. Everyone sees food as being the problem and its not, it's how you perceive it. The sooner you stop thinking that food is the problem the easier it'll be to wrap your head and mindset around it. Food is an energy source in which you have to train…
  • this is where changing your eating habbits comes into play. The reality here is all the tricks in the book or other posts/shows/youtube clips tell you how you can plan for this are all meaningless. Your changing how you eat and if you don't get used to eating proper portions you will always have this problem. There is no…
  • I see this happen and it motivates me ~ from a coworker "I wallk in the parking lot everyday for 10 minutes during lunch to burn off lunch" Their breakfast consists of a sausage cheese and egg crescount (prob spelled wrong ha) and lunch half plate of fries and a full salami n cheese panani......... Ya u go walk that 10 min…

  • Once you start using them more and tone them up it should get better. This is going to sound weird but your running form should be "lead with your knees not your feet". What this will help you do is put more work in your knees rather then focusing on raising your feet which will make your shins work harder. At first start…
  • in order to do intense program like that (for longer then 1 week) your body will need more carbs then you would typically use for normal moderate excersizes. As you tweak your targets you'll ntoice the percentages of proteins/fats lower. All three will still equate to you total cals per day :) The key here is you'll need…
  • i havent been to that place in a while but id imagine they have good selections for you to stay within ur limit. If not just portion the meal u choose to fit ur targets. If u still cant or dont want to do this then enjoy the meal. NO REGRETS
  • this is my motivation and my why. if i look like this again im finding the nearest bridge
  • I actually like seeing a week or two with no results. You can review your previous acitivity level vs your journal. You can then make sure your weight/height/bf% numbers are up to date and then tweak something. Increase your activity level or even decrease it for a week then bring back to previous levels. This period can…
  • Oh there's plenty. First I would recommend simple acts like standing squats, lunges, stairs, push ups, crunches, and donkey kicks. All can be done with no equipment and hit key muscles :) Do 3 sets ASMAP with 30 seconds to 1 min rest itnervals of each and you'll tone up.
  • A couple things here. Depends on the amount of meals/snacks you have durign the day, bottom line is the end fo the day results. Doign activities like weight training and airobic excerizes such as insanity you don't know how much cals you;ve burned. If you want to get a good feel about programs like this you should follow…
  • The label's correct. Peanuts are high calorie so you should track your consupmtion accordingly!!! I use schmuckers all natural chunky pb sometimes but I purchased PB2foryou which is powdered peanut butter that has 85% less fat then reg pb. It does taste like pb although not as good but it def helps you get that pb taste…
  • Sounds like to me you just need a "quit acting like a baby and suck it up do the work to get the results slap in the face!" you said it yourself that you DECIDE on eating bad which won't get you the results. Traveling for work is very tough because you do have long exhausting days where when it comes meal time you want the…
  • As mentioned above recording food before eating it and seeinign the numbers in front of you means alot. You can then twak your meal accordingly (for example I just ate half a sweet potatoe instead of whole). Also I assume you want to lose weight, therefore I recommend this: Plan on hitting your goals with nutrition and NOT…
  • To help make yourself more confortable (feel more in control) you should take advantage of tracking your nutrition. This will at least help put the numbers in front of you so you can realize and understand what they mean and what your body needs. You'll start learnign more about the nutritional values of food and what food…

  • external motivation is great but the true motivator IS WITHIN U! u will always have urself second guessing yourself...not wantign to change...thinking your old habbits are the only way to live....this is truly the hard part is changing your current thinking of food and how to handle and make yourself stronger to over-come…
