I'd nap! I feel like the less I'm awake then the less I'll wanna snack on the bad things, LOL! I don't get to nap much so when I do I try to take advantage of it!

Pack lots of healthy snack. You can cut up fruit and put them in snack size bags according to portion sizes, that way it's already done for you! Sprinkle them with a little lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. You could also eat a few seeds and nuts, but in moderation! Prepackage them according to portion size as…

I had a cheat day yesterday and I kinda thought I ate more than I should have! I thought I would have gained quite a few pounds but it ended up being only one pound and I didn't feel so bad after that! Just remember that losing weight is a journey and a change of lifestyle. You're not going to lose all the weight at once,…

I don't know about chocolaty kinds, but I really like to make sugar free jello (5 calories for 1/2 cup) and eat it with some sugar free fruit cups (45 calories). It's pretty nice, even with some fat free whip cream every once in awhile! You can put it all in a tupperware and take it to work if you wanted!

You also asked when that deficit would change! As you lose weight and your activity level changes then your body will burn a different amount of calories per day and therefor your deficit or your daily net calories will change. I think MFP will do all of that for you though, but it will never tell you to eat less than 1200…

I've seen clips on Youtube and it looks like any other basic workout. She uses step and a few weights! Nothing major! But I like step so I'm thinking about getting it, LOL! She's kinda my body idol! :)

I personally don't think you're burning too much! On The Biggest Loser they stick to their daily 1200 calories (or whatever is set for them) and only go over about 100-200 based on how much they've exercised. Then they burn, burn, burn those calories. The more they burn then the more they lose. This is why they drop such…

I took a quick look at your diary and it doesn't look like you're eating many fruits and veggies! If you eat at least one serving of fruit or veggie paired with a protein with every meal and snack then it will really help! A protein can be meat, fat free milk, string cheese, egg whites, or nuts and seeds (in moderation).…

I log my food and count the days as from when I wake up to when I go to bed, even if I go to bed after midnight it would go on the "day before"! We're on a crazy schedule right now and sleep in late and stay up late as well, so it only makes sense to count everything on that one day! Sleep to me counts as 5 or more hours,…

I like to keep it quick and simple. I do Quaker Weight Control Instant Oatmeal made with water and cut up a medium banana in it with a cup of Fat Free Milk. A second thing I like is a good cereal like Kellogs Multigrain Cereal with the banana. If I want something different I make a egg scramble. That's 3-4 egg whites with…

If it's 0 calories then you can log it as water! Some people say that you should log only half of it as water, meaning you would have to drink 2 cups to equal 1 cup of water. On Weight Watchers they say to do this for coffee and tea, so you could do this for your mixes as well, especially if they have calories in them!…

Team West/CA 2 I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!! I did so well this week and lost 3.2 lbs for week 4! YAY ME!!! Here are my results for week 4! Week 4: lost 3.2 lbs Went to 2 classes this week! CW: 202.6 GW (wk5): 201 (just in case!)

You said you've been working with a personal trainer? Muscle does weigh more than fat, so even though you're the same size you might weight more because of more muscle! :)

Well, there are water pills that you can take called Diurex that are suppost to help you get rid of water weight. You can buy them over the counter just about anywhere! I think they take a little longer than 24 hours though, something you might want to look into! :) They don't make you sick or anything, just cleans your…

I've read a few of the posts about HRM's and it seems everyone is saying not to buy one from WalMart and to spend a little more money on a Polar! If you want a Polar, try looking for one at amazon.com. They can be much cheaper there!

Yeah, you would have to put in each thing! If it's a package or something that cam from a box then that is simple enough without having to log each thing in that package! Also, to help out, try eating a larger breakfast, a moderate lunch, and a smaller dinner This will help you to not only sleep better but it should put…

My husband and his buddy use the brand Six Star. They say it's one of the best. You can get it at WalMart for like $18 or something like that. You take it AFTER your workouts, because you need protein after a workout to help your muscles recover! :)

If you need help quitting smoking, try going to your doctor! My husband got put on Chantex and it's been really helping him to quit. It really takes away the urge of smoking and so on. Instead of resorting to things that you might think are unhealthy or what you want to stay away from you, you can try resorting to…

Says the person who's 92 lbs! :laugh:

The best way to stick to your calories is to fill your meals with fruits and/or veggies! They are nutrient rich, whole foods (meaning not processed), and low in calories. For every meal try to eat a fruit or veggies paired with some protein. For protein you can eat meat, fish, fat free milk, string cheese, and some nuts…

Week 4 woop woop, LOL!!! I can't wait to go to classes this week! I love my Zumba class and I really wanna try a Step or Spin class! Maybe I should start small and go to Step first, LOL! Week 4 SW: 205.8 Week 4 GW: 204 (this should be a better goal since my WL is being slow)

YAY ME! I LOVE going to classes! I go to classes like 2-3 times a week! Hopefully I can keep it up this week! Hubby will be off of work this week so it should be easy!!! :D

I use it here and there and I also go to a Zumba class! I really enjoy it and I'm doing fairly well! I don't use it consistently but it does help! :)

You could reward yourself with going somewhere you've always wanted to go, maybe a mini vacation or something! Maybe some pampering like getting your nails done. If you already get your nails done then maybe splurge for the pricier option or some extra special nail art! I'm planning on buying myself some new shoes, a…

I don't have any exercises for you, but I think the biggest key to losing that weight in that time is what you eat! Make sure to load up on fruits and veggies and cut out as many processed foods as possible! If you do that and burn more calories than you eat then you should be able to do it! :)

Thanks so much everyone! I have lots of strength exercises from books! Thanks for the great ideas so far! Keep them coming!

I lost 1 lb this week but didn't get a chance to run any miles! :( Gotta keep going!

When I was on Weight Watchers a few years back the instructor there showed us a study that for healthy weight loss you should drink an extra glass for every 20-30lbs you're overweight on top of your 8 per day!If I remember correctly it had something to do with carrying around the extra weight and your body needed it to…

LMAO! Go to a good bra store and get fitted! Most women don't know what size they really are, especially once you lose weight! Spending a little more money on a good bra will certainly make the difference and be more comfortable! :)
