the shakeology is considered a red container.

My go to snacks are homemade granola bars, unsalted almonds, unsalted sunflower seeds, unsalted cashews, unsalted pistachios, fruit, laughing cow cheese wedge and 16 wheat thins, celery or baby carrots and otria greek yogurt dip, celery and peanut or almond butter, greek yogurt and fruit.

I drink the Ideal shake too I love it. I have mine for breakfast and then I eat 4-5 small meals after that. Like some said before your calorie count may not be accurate so you may be eating over the calories you think you are. Sometimes I have my shake twice a day like have it at breakfast and lunch and I would eat a mid…

the documentary fat sick and nearly dead is all about juicing. This guy drank nothing but juice for crazy amount of time. It worked for him but I like to chew my food. I use a meal replacement shake to replace my breakfast because I am not a big fan of breakfast unless its waffles dripping in syrup (which kind of defeats…

I used this site during my last pregnancy it helped keep me accountable. If you have a special diet then ask your dr. to refer you to a nutritionist they did this for me and it helped a lot she was able to give me meal ideas and you can get protein from other places besides meat and the baby will be just fine. A…

with my first child I gained 0 but I was also sick as a dog for 6 months straight too. With my second I gained 6lbs total. I was overweight with both so my doctor told me it was ok to lose weight while pregnant but not to gain more than 7lbs. It all depends on the weight you are starting out at. I saw a nutritionist while…

I have found that eating smaller meals and eating 5-6x per day helps me from snacking. Its when I go 4 hours between meals I find myself wanting to snack mindlessly especially when cooking. I also crave sweets after a filling meal. I have started using a meal replacement shake in the mornings for breakfast and I have the…

I completely gave it up but it was just for my own reasons of not wanting to ingest all the chemicals and the fake sugar. There is nothing wrong with it in moderation I still have one every once in awhile. I primarily drink water or seltzer water but that is just me.

I know it was an eye opener for me too especially jarred spaghetti sauce nearly knocked me over. I love skinnytaste.com she has great recipes and that is where I found a great make from scratch marinara sauce. I also cut out all drinks that are not water or seltzer. I prefer to eat my calories and not drink them. I learned…

Mine was set at 1200 per day too and I found I couldn't stick to it I was hungry and cranky and would binge. I had to go back in and set my goals to 1lb per week and it gives me 1590 cal per day which is much more doable for me and some weeks I lose more than 1lb. I personally try to limit my bread intake especially…

My grocery list: milk eggs bread thin bagels cheerios raisin bran yogurt lettuce tomato cucumbers baby carrots celery shrimp flounder - not every week because one bag lasts 3-4 meals. oatmeal bottled water seltzer water juice chicken - I buy the 6-8lb packages when they go on sale and then split it and freeze it beans…

I am sick right now and have been living off of chicken noodle soup in a can. I always keep either healthy choice or campbells healthy heart on hand all year long for times like this. I am not proud of this but I did get my kids mcdonalds for dinner last night and tonight I am bringing home a rotisserie chicken and a salad…

Its a t.v. show and if people try what he discusses on his shows without talking to their medical professional than whose fault is that? He is a doctor but he is not everyones personal physician. I have only watched a few of his shows and I have never seen him endorse a weight loss pill. I have seen him bring people on who…

I had an issue with little energy and mine turned out to be an iron deficiency. Of course mine was diagnosed by a blood test but you could easily try to eat more iron rich foods. If you don't already take a multivitamin you could try to add that to your diet as well. It could also be the weather not sure where you live but…

about 4 years ago I had my regular yearly blood test and my fasting blood sugar came back as 126 and I had some student scare me half to death about diabetes. My primary doctor told me to make some changes add some exercise and he would retest in 3 months when I retested it wasn't great but it wasn't high either like…

I went to seltzer water and haven't turned back since. Sure I miss it but it isn't worth the calories to me. You just have to be careful with seltzer because some use aspartame as a sweetener and some are loaded with sodium. I alternate between water and seltzer during the day and I didn't have withdrawal symptoms either…

done

My kids babysitter had a problem like this and it ended up being an iron issue. It wouldn't hurt to have blood work done to make sure. I had low iron with my second child and all I had to do was eat high iron foods and take an over the counter supplement.

I love my wine.... I usually only drink it on Fridays and Saturday nights, but I am finding myself having at least 2-3 glasses nightly this past week since my hubby is working days. I have been making sure it fits into my calories and with one glass at 112 cal it can be hard. I try not to eat when I drink because its too…

I get up at 520am. I set my alarm clock across the room so I have to get up to turn it off. I have no choice but to get up because after work and at the end of the day my kids have activities and dinner to be made and cleaning to do and baths and bedtimes and by the end of it all its 9pm and I am exhausted I would just…

go on skinnytaste.com she has a creamy lentil soup recipe and a lentil salad recipe and probably others I haven't tried any of her lentil recipes but I have tried others and haven't found one yet that I didn't like. I usually just do a simple lentil and chicken sausage soup that I love.

I gave up eating take out... I have been really bad about going out for lunch everyday of the work week and then I am guessing on the calories. I am going to pack and eat only what I bring to work and see what happens

That's stupid even Jillian Michaels 30 day shred one of the levels has a version of this as an exercise. (lighter weights and on the knees)

Seriously illegal??? Then I should be arrested because I wear them in front of my kids. They are great for lounging around the house, doing housework and grocery shopping.

for me personally I do not like to drink soda period it caused me to crave sweets. I cut out all soda and I did not magically lose more weight than I was already losing but I feel better and I am not consuming all the extra sodium that those drinks have. I drink only water or seltzer water. The seltzer gives me the bubbles…

I just got a popcorn popper for Christmas and I love mine I use sunflower oil and its only 35 cal per cup its great.

I put my alarm clock across the room and I also go to bed early and I mean I am in the bed no later than 930pm. If I go to bed later I can always talk myself out of it even having to get out of bed and turn the alarm off. If I do not work out in the morning before kids get up I have no time later to do it with work and the…
