  • try blending egg whites with milk, vanilla extract, a banana and a little sugar. mmmm
  • a packet of oatmeal, light yogurt, one egg, or a small fruit
  • I forgot to explain why, so I'm doing it now :) Ok so the reason you want to eat something before you workout in the morning is because you haven't eaten for a while (because you were sleeping and you probably stopped eating at 7pm). Your metabolism needs a boost at this point. Also, anything you eat for breakfast will be…
  • My trainer told me to eat whatever I wanted for breakfast, but to eat SOMETHING before working out. I work out at 5am also and I usually eat instant oatmeal, fruit, or light yogurt for breakfast. I keep my breakfast light though, and eat a small snack (<100 calories) sometime between breakfast and lunch (which I eat at…
  • You can do it. Stick with it and use your powers of self control. I was where you are a few months ago and I didn't and I regret it sooooooo much. Seriously- you CAN do it... you just have to make up your mind that you WILL. I would say good luck, but it isn't a matter of luck-- you know what you have to do to achieve the…
  • smell so they
  • :noway: Count me in!
  • diet coke is probably one of the worst things you could drink because it messes with your metabolism I would recommend not drinking it anymore, period. water is the only think you should be drinking on a regular basis
  • mmmmm thanks for always giving me awesome recipes! you're the best!! :flowerforyou:
  • 1. it may have to do with sodium intake 2. you may have lowered your metabolism by under eating in the past 3. maybe it's a mental thing that's all I can think of
  • Okay so I'm done eating for the night and I'm going to try to wake up at 4 tomorrow to go running. Wish me luck! Thanks for replying. I feel a little better already. I just need to resist the urge to binge whenever I get really stressed or sad. We can do this together :flowerforyou:
  • Thanks Kerri. You're looking fabulous yourself! :wink: Good job sticking with it, hot mamma! haha
  • Okay so my name is Loretta and I'm returning from a break of about a month. I kind of gained ten pound back :embarassed: but I'm ready to try again. Right now I'm struggling a lot in all areas of life so I'll take any support I can get. I'm also ready and able to give support. Really I'm just looking for some more friends…
  • marmite!
  • my cat does the exact same thing!!! ahhh adorable :) is he half siamese?
  • iced tea, chicken corn soup, and fruit salad would be my picks maybe some nuts too
  • I don't know what you're talking about when you say "beauty soap," but my dermatologist recommended cetaphil for my skin a year ago and ever since, it's been very clear. I have dry/sensitive skin, so any kind of bar soap makes me break out. Cetaphil is nice because it is a non-soap cleanser. It cleans without drying out…

  • that sounds DELICIOUS! thank you :flowerforyou:
  • one time when I was running and I wanted to give up I saw this shirt that said "I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me" and I said that over and over in my head and I ran twice the distance I had originally planned to also I tell myself that nothing tastes as good as being thin/healthy feels anddd I…

  • jif reduced fat creamy peanut butter omg.... i love it....:blushing: and the weird thing is that I didn't even like peanut butter at all a year ago :noway:
  • so cute!!! I love it!
  • I'm not sure. hmmm... :huh: Do you consume artificial sweetener of any sort? I've heard that it can lead to hair loss. Also, dying your hair too often can definitely cause hair loss. I'm pretty sure my sister's hair thinned due to her getting it permed too many times.

  • My friend Dean does Capoeira and he's in AMAZING shape. I really want to join a group so I can learn too! Can you do a no-handed cartwheel?

  • I'm still at 160 :grumble: Apparently the last 20 pounds aren't going to come off without a fight!!
  • My legs are huge. Is there a way of targeting part of the body when exercising other than just for toning? My self confidence right now is non-existent. Arrrrr any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Yeah I think that looks like a good choice. :smile: Maybe you could get dressing on the side too and if it looks big you could eat half and take the rest home. The blackened catfish salad looks really good too! It's all pretty expensive though... :grumble: Anyway, I hope have fun tomorrow! Oh and happy 4th :flowerforyou:
  • I used to get a cramp in my side every time I ran as well. It can be caused by a number of things, but it's usually because of breathing. If you get a cramp, try taking deeper breaths and see if that works. It could also be the way your running if you're leaning more to one side and/or not stretching enough. Do you ever…
  • yoplait light harvest peach yogurt + a banana
  • thanks guys- yall are the best. I actually did go swimming yesterday in a two piece :noway: I took your advice and you know what? it wasn't that bad. I felt a little awkward/uncomfortable at first, but I faked confidence and I looked at the situation realistically and then I just forgot about it. It was pretty amazing...…
