OMG...that calculator! Given my weight (a lot), I'd burn SO MANY calories! I used to do some Bikram yoga a few years back. It was so hard but felt SOOO good afterwards. Should really add it into my fitness regimine to help with flexibility. :)

I've been eating those Chobani greek yogurts and that seems to really suit me. It's enough energy to get me through the sweet hell my trainers like to inflict on me, but not too much that it wants to come back up and spew. I usually add a bit of granola for the 'crunch' factor. :)

Great question! I gave up the scale for Lent and have been giving this a lot of thought. I'd go by the fit of my clothes. I have an idea of the size I want to be and if I can fit into that size and feel comfy and confident, then YAY ME! The other indicator for me would be that my diet is rich in F&V and lean protein. That…

Hi all Lushes! I read through here, but rarely post...I'd really like to get better at that. LOL I haven't been dry much at all. However, for Lent I gave up vodka and wine (and also the scale), leaving me with only beer as a choice. Get's me full before I can have too much! LOL St Pat's day, my birthday, and Opening day of…

I wonder what types of foods you're eating. Perhaps you're particularly low on protein? After I workout (which generally kicks my *kitten* from one end of the gym to the other LOL), I try to eat a protein rich snack. If you're eating simple carbs, they're going to flush right through you and you'll be hungry a lot quicker.…

I use exercise as a part of managing my depression and anxiety. I can be *thisclose* to popping an Xanax to deal with my anxiety, but am on my way to the gym, so I wait, workout and then see if need it still. 100% of the time, I do not! :) My issue is food. I also use it to deal with depression and anxiety, but it isn't in…

I like the idea of giving up the scale!! I might do that! I've been frustrated because I'm just not holding up the nutrition end of this change...and then get mad at myself when i see the number on the scale even though I know it's all my fault. I keep telling myself "It's easy: Just eat around 1600kcals a day, that's ALL…

I make a shrimp scampi from WW that I love. No dairy. Ingredients 2 tsp olive oil 6 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced 1 tsp dried oregano 1 pound(s) shrimp, medium, peeled and deveined 1/4 cup(s) wine, dry white or vermouth 2 tsp cornstarch 3/4 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth 3/4 tsp table salt, or to taste 1/8…

I'm looking at my diet in terms of these 2 a lot right now (not yet changed anything though :grumble: ) I think you should cut out as much sugar as possible. On my MFP diary, it says 25g of sugar. Some of the trainers at my gym (super small, independent gym) talk about sugar, and how it really impedes muscle creation. One…

WTG! Nice work! I've just gotten over a week-long cold. I spent that week eating things to make me "feel better" (HAVE GOT to stop that!), but on the good side, I hit bootcamp 3x during the week! Gonna be dry but cold this week in the lovely PNW! :)

I grew up on SW and graduated SWHS...so did my brothers...small world!

I do this a lot with pizza. My first piece usually is a full on piece, then I eat just the toppings on the next slice LOL

the Enell really seems to support but I was going to get arthritis just trying to get all those hooks and eyes closed! LOL Jane strap...hmmmm...might need to check it out! :)

http://www.barenecessities.com is what I use. I'm rather large chested...38G/H and the bra that I got from here really seems to be a good fit for me. I know it's tough to spend a lot of $$ on bras, but with big boobs, it's SOOO SOO worth it to have a good supportive bra (of any kind!).

I need to start posting in here. I'm a total lush. If I cut it out completely, I'd be hot in no time! LOL My trainer tells me "90% is nutrition" and boy oh boy, is he right. So, how do limit yourself? What do you tell yourself, what guidlines do you set in order to limit your booze? Thx! :)

Hi all you PNWers! I'm one too. Born and bred! :) Currently, I live a pinch East of Seattle.... I *should* be taking VitD, but have fallen off the wagon on that (and other things *blush*). My doc recommends 2000 IU a day for us in the PNW. She checked my VitD level a year or so back and it was LOW LOW LOW. I think one…

My trainers (and trainer-brother and trainer-friend LOL), all tell me "80-20" 80% of your fitness progress comes from diet. And BOY OH BOY am I seeing that! I need to really figure out what clicks for me on the diet front! GAHHHH!

There are sandwiches (anywhere really) that really taste better wtihout cheese. You can taste the meat, veggies and condiments much better, IMO. Sometimes it's about adding up the little things. (remind me that when I go for the extra beer at night :blush:

I was in the enviable position of only gaining 10-15 # with each of my pregnancies. I can honestly say, that I focused on nourshing my baby with some cravings that were not very healthy. (pancakes and milkshakes and peanut buster parfaits with #1, bacon cheese bagles/cream cheese and lattes with #2). My thought is that…

Hi! I circuit train at least 2x a week via a boot camp class. It really kicks your butt huh! :) I actually just did a search in the cardio section of MFP for "circuit training" and then put in my time for that. HTH

I tend to lurk a lot and not post...but I wanted to say YES! You should be fine!! You'll just want to monitor any milk decreases, and make sure you're getting enough calories so your production doesn't drop. One thing my trainer told me (and not just him, but my brother (trainer) and his roommate (trainer))...80% of your…

I think I found my home! :love: It's my biggest downfall. It drives me to eat bad things as well as the calories from the booze itself. I haven't quite figured out a goal for this "month" as I *just* found this thread today. I did want to say re: vacation, I found I didn't drink as much as I do at home because I was busy,…

Sounds like low blood sugar/you worked out without any fuel in you. I got like that before. I wasn't a breakfast eater...still really not...but now, I make sure to eat *something* before workouts. Today, I didn't have a lot of time, so I had 5 PB crackers on my drive from the doctor's to my trainer's. Too big of a…

I'd say about 3-500 cals per day...depending on how old your kiddo is. On WW, I know they suggested 2 points (about 100 cals)) per every nursing session. If you find your supply dropping, up your calories.

Low fat cottage cheese is a great one! :)

Yeah, I usually put in about 800 cals (I'm considerably over 140 LOL). I figured that I burn 800 in a spin class in 1 hour...according to my HRM...so 800 isn't so bad a number for Bikram.

I don't wear a HRM there either. Probably goes against that whole yoga "be in the moment thing :lol: I just googled calorie calculator bikram yoga....tried a few of them and they all come up with around the same amount of kcals burned :)

I've done it. I love it! Well, like after I'm done. In there, it's really flippin hot! When I put into calorie calculators, I find Bikram burns somewhere in the neighborhood of 1300 cals for the 90 min class!:noway: I believe it though. It's hard! WTG!

Even my DD hates her. What an ugly ugly person she is. I cannot believe people would keep her :explode: I hope her time at home blimps her up....
