I'm 5'3" and my ideal weight is 115-120 BUT if I'm little over 120 and feeling good, I might just stop there. It all depends on YOU and how YOU feel. You just have to listen to your body.

During the week it's usually oatmeal with frozen blue berries or what ever fresh fruit I have on hand or whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter. Weekends is when I'll have egg (over easy, scrambled, omlette, etc) with toast, pancakes, or french toast. Of course I keep on hand Cheerios and yogurt for those morning I…

I do this all the time. 90% of my dinners are made from scratch. Most of the time I will enter just the ingredients into the recipe over my lunch break or the daybefore. This way all I have to do is enter the entire thing for my meal and I'm done, and it will still be there for the next time I make that particular meal.

My favorites are fruit, veggies, almonds, and certain kinds of popcorn ~and this is just whats in my desk at the moment :flowerforyou:

I was a very chubby kid growing up, but didn't know it until middle school when this one girl tormented me about my weight calling my fat, lazy smelly, and even got my "friends" to turn against me. Lucky for me see moved after two years of this, but I was left with a horrible self image/self esteem. Fortunately, I lost a…

One of my nieces is in kindergarden, and I asked what they were doing in school. She said they are talking about what they were going to be when they grow, her response " I don't want to grow up". Gotta love kids.

Wondering the same thing since I'll be starting p90x tomorrow... but I think a heart rate monitor is the best way to go.

[/quote] My calves are bulky with bulky muscle - what conversation should that be, then? Its not fat - they're muscular. So, what can be done? [/quote] I'm with you, how do you un-bulk muscular calves to make them longer and leaner muscules?

My fear is that I'll have big thigh and calves. I dont have small(skinny) legs to begin with my I don't them to bulk up as I work out more. I'm already seeing it happen and I want slim muscular legs not bulk.

I like to snack on fresh fruits and veggies, unsalted nuts, greek yogurt. Try to lessing the processed/ packaged things you eat by making it your self. Salsa is pretty simple to make, and you can make a large batch and freeze some of it. If you are tracking your sodium you know where the majority comes from, so try and…

Use it in place of sour cream.

I guess you could call it a taco salad. It consist of black beans, pico de gallo, salsa verde, rice, and a little taco meat (this was left over from dinner so I through it in.) I pop it in the mircrowave and I'm good to go; I guess it could be eaten cold too if you like.

I love taking cut up fruit and veggies. Hummus is a good replacement for those fatting dips. Turkey brats and burgers are great to grill, and I think they taste better when cooked on the grill. If you must have chips (which I know is hard to avoid) baked varieties are a better option, and I think they taste just as good as…

These could all be different brands of chicken breast. The best thing to do is to follow the nututional value on the packaging and weighing before cooking would be the most accurate.

I think I would fly off the treadmil at that pace! Slow down I feel a good pace is any where between 5-6mph.

What she said!

I feel your pain. I've learned that being force to drive it (I had no other form of transportation) was the key. Yes I sucked at the starting part but the more I did it (by myself) the better I got at it. I think my problem was that I just relied on the other person too much, but when I was alone I had to figure it out. I…

I eat them as a snack either mid morning or mid afternoon. Never a bad time to eat them because they are so good!

I am only running 2-3 times a week so I am resting up inbetween runs. My time is getting better by a few minutes each time, so I might be running fast? I am running the same path, so maybe I just need to mix it up a bit and run a different route. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the tips... Not going to attempt eating yet since I've already bit my tough and cheek without realizing it. But I'm on the hunt for a straw now.

I'm 5'3" 135 and wear a size 8

I just bought it. It's realatively cheap, and there are some great recipes in it!

I have been switching from canned veggies to frozen... does frozen have the same sodium issues?

I'm not sure about the itching, but I have had spots under my boobies before. The doctor said they were from either not being dry enough after showering and then putting a bra on OR being sweaty and working out. I'm not sure what she called it but it had to the bra keeping the moisture locked in. If I were you I would go…

Flax Seed. This works for me, and I was reading a post a few days ago about how it has helps other people too.

YUM!

Bump: love black beans.
