My hoop came today. I played with it for about 10 minutes. I couldn't keep it going more than four or five spins. Hopefully I will get better.

Like others have said, log log log. Also, give yourself permission to eat the foods you want. It might take some time, but after a while you start to realize that one slice of pizza, or a donut, or a candy bar, or a cupcake, or some chips doesn't "blow it." Stop telling yourself you can't have those things. Eat toward a…

One raw egg is around 35 mg of sodium. So, the two eggs by themselves are only 70 mg of sodium. The reason the poached eggs have more sodium is because, if you poach it properly, you are adding salt and vinegar to your water, some of which gets absorbed by the eggs.

I ordered one from Your Hoop, but it hasn't arrived yet. Should be here Monday. It seems that they are all about the same: PVC irrigation hose wrapped with decorative tape. I looked into making one myself, but you can't buy just the supplies for making one hoop. The PVC stuff comes in 100 yard coils and the tape is all…

Is there a Trader Joe's near you? They have frozen meals that don't have all the artificial junk in them.

I mentioned this to her boyfriend but he just shrugged it off.

I love Peanut Butter and used to get the small one if I had some extra calories on a maintenance day, but now I just mix some PB2 with unsweetened almond milk and a little honey. Way fewer calories and it even tastes better. I always check the nutrition menus before I eat out, so nothing really surprises me in that regard.…

Think of your goal more as a week long goal rather than a daily goal. Eating over one day a week won't ruin your diet. Add up all the calories for the week and divide by 7. Then you can see your average daily deficit, which is more important than your individual day deficits. As long as you have an average deficit, then…

I suppose it depends on how big your nose is.

No, picking your nose is good, it gets the calories out of your body so they can't be swallowed. Well, unless she eats it after she picks it.

I do three shots, three separate things of grounds, but I run approximately three ounces of water through each time. Some days I will have 3 or 4 "cups" with three shots each. So, if the three shots are 27 calories vs 9 calories, it could add up a bit. I mean it is still not much and I am probably obsessing more than I…

I went ahead and ordered a hula hoop. It will probably take a couple of weeks to get it, though. I wonder if my BMF armband will be able to accurately track the calories, though. Sparks People has hula hooping in their database and from what I can see it burns about the same amount of calories as a brisk walk.

People say things, but I think they are just being nice. My sister made a comment about how much weight I have lost and she hasn't seen me in five years and I weigh more now that I did then! I took my starting picture and my current picture and put the starting picture over the current one in a separate layer. I matched…

Today I dehydrated ginger and lemon zest, and then ran it through the food processor. I ran it through the Keurig and it made a decent tea. It was definitely better than water alone.

Congratulations, you look amazing.

I primarily drink water, but I hate it. I've tried putting lemon in it, but it makes it worse. I don't want to use any kind of chemical additive, like Crystal Light. I might try getting some herbal teas or something.

I haven't ever compared what I should be losing to what I am losing, but it seems pretty accurate. I think I'll start the spreadsheet, though, just out of curiosity, and because I'm a data nerd.

Apologies if I missed it.

I asked about this on the BodyMedia FB page and was told that this happens if your body is in a position that the armband doesn't recognize as sleeping. It happens to me several times throughout the night. I assume it has something to do with me sleeping on my stomach with my arm tucked under my pillow. If I turn a little…

I start retaining water about a week before my period, no matter how closely I watch my sodium intake, and don't lose it until about 3 - 4 days into it. I crave salt like crazy the whole week before, also. The first 2 days of my period I am hungry all the time and usually overeat a little, because I get overwhelmed by it.

I'm sorry you are still having trouble breaking your plateau. I went through a similar thing recently and I stopped my diet completely for about 10 days. I didn't even log. I just ate whatever I wanted (within reason) and didn't worry about it. After that, I went back to logging and counting calories. I gained about 6…

There's a forum for suggestions, you should suggest it there so MFP sees it.

Are you still breast feeding?

Oops. I just looked closer at the hoops and realized the size is the diameter and not the circumference. That makes more sense. So a 42" hoop is around 132" circumference, which should work, even for my big ole frame, I think.

I've been doing it for a little over a week and already feel much better. I'm still sleepy a lot, but not nearly as fatigued. For about a year it felt like I had a lead blanket over me and every single thing I did took tremendous mental and physical effort. Now I feel so much better it is amazing. My head is clearing, too.…

Most fast food places have lower calorie options. Splitting what you do get in half and having the rest later is also an option. I usually go to the restaurant's website and look at the nutrition menu to make my choices in advance.

I would love to try hula hooping, but I have a 43" waist and the largest hoop I have found is 45", which would not even fit over my chest.

http://www.breatharian.com/fivemagic5dwords.html Haha, apparently the only thing you can eat or drink on that diet is double quarter pounder with cheese and diet coke. "All McDonalds are constructed on properties that are protected by 5th Dimenstional high energy/spiritual portals. "

From that breatharian site: "At the first part of this "million of years of fun" period every body got rape up in the 3d fads and sensations" Um, okay.

Um. No.
