WW factors more than just calories into their point system. It's a combination of calories, fat, and fiber. They have a special calculation that you put all three together and it'll tell you the point value for that particular item. Most fruits and veggies end up equaling 0 points so it's not something they worry about.…

I personally wouldn't let the net go below 500. That would mean your body is in starvation mode. The site recommends your net to be equal to whatever your daily alloted amount of calories are (before exercise). So if it recommends 2000 calories a day, and you workout for 1000 calories, you need to eat 3000 calories that…

Yeah, it's definitely the water weight you're seeing. I know I kept to my guns when Flo got here and after she left I had lost quite a bit of weight. Just keep doing things like normal, and definitely keep up drinking plenty of water. The less you drink, the more your body retains it. So if you keep that intake up, it…

Here is an excellent list of high protein foods and it also has other nutrition info you should be watching for. Good luck! http://heartspring.net/list_of_high_protein_foods.html

Yes, they're for the kids. And no, you can't find Keebler versions that taste just as good in the cookie isle. ^_^

I met my boyfriend on my mothers front porch. He had just come back from his second tour in Iraq as a medic and was stationed at the military post near where I live working at the same medical clinic my mother did. They just happened to be out for a smoke at the same time and he saw her volunteer fire department jacket and…

I was on the midnight shift for quite some time. My recommendation is to eat like a normal day. Here's an example of two ways I handled my day: Wake up at 3PM, eat breakfast. Have a snack if I needed. Eat lunch around 8 or 9 PM. Have a snack if needed. Eat dinner around 3 or 4 am. Snack if needed. In bed at 9AM. OR. Wake…

And I thought this was gonna be about Yoga. ^_^

This happens in my feet too. It's interesting that you posted this, though. I just asked my BF yesterday about it. lol

I know how you feel. Back in the day when they made us do a mile run in gym and everyone would lap me yelling something along the lines of "Come on fatty, there's food at the end!". Trust me, I understand. It really comes down to forcing yourself to stay motivated. Even when you want to quit, you have to remember those…

Good luck! I wish you the best!!!

I wish that were the case. My BF says that he "just doesn't enjoy sex as much anymore". He says it's from when he was younger being a player of sorts. Whatever the reason, it is quite 'frustrating'. And is also quite the blow to my self esteem. The first month or two before we started officially dating were hot and heavy…

And here this whole time I thought it stood for **** Head. lol

I gotta say from experience that if you don't indulge in that thing that you've been craving for days, you'll end up giving in and pigging out on it. I say give it a day. If you still have an intense craving for it, have it. The hard part is going from indulging in the Large McDonald's Fry to the Medium or Small. Give…

This mental image made me giggle. lol I always look at my neck/chin/lower jaw area. Clothes can cover most of the flub, but that area is just hanging out there all open for everyone to see at the wrong turn. And every time I get dressed I'm checking my stomach in the mirror to make sure I don't look pregnant in whatever…

I'm game. ^_^

I'm game. ^_^

Some of these are quite amusing. lol "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important." ((I think it's in my signature))

I almost just fell out of my chair laughing so hard! LOL

I like it. ^_^ Thanks.

I think I'm going to try this. But what kinds of sides would you recommend? Besides veggies.....

Because I save lives. ^_^

I think swimming would be good, but I live on the East Coast of the US and it's kinda cold out right now. ^_^ That, and I technically shouldn't be submerging the site yet. I can't even take a bath. :-( But as far as the walking in place, that might work. Put on some music and walk in beat. Maybe some hand weights and do…
