Thousands of blood cells in our bodies die each day while new cells are formed the reccomended h2o amount is what is needed to bring oxygen to your cells and replenish them. The other benifit is what ajweekley mentioned ps. it is possible to over consume water as it could deplete the amount of sodium in our bodies

my honest opinion and research on fiber show that for myself 31yrs old 5' 2" med frame should have an intake of about 25g of fiber daily especially for weight loss. Frankly I think this site is quite low in that department. other than that I really do enjoy using myfitnesspal, been using it for couple years now. Had cream…

hang in there ya done it before and will do it again. hope ur nursing your precious little one that'll defineatley help to lose some:flowerforyou:

adding to my previous post this strategy helped me to lose 25lbs.

The first time I decided I was serious about lising weight sugar was a big one on the list to totally cut out, even in my coffee ( I do use Splenda but ONLY in my coffee) everytime I had a sugar craving I'd slowly enjoy a tsp of peanut butter sometimes with a glass of milk or eat a hand full of rasins (any dried fruit is…

couscous salad

I eat red river hot cereal 1 cup with 1/4 cup soy milk or raisin bran with soy milk this gives me a great start to a high fiber day also can't say enough about apples slice em up and go snack on them from one destination to the next . If I eat about 3cups of steamed california mix frozen veggies for supper along, along…

Absolutely!!! A key factor in weight loss is high fiber. This is defineatley a good choice just becareful on the calorie and carb content (portion CONTROL) .... MMMMMM Enjoy.

Hi, nothing wrong with uping the protien(not too much anyway) and sounds like you don't have to worry about losing any weight. Just be careful how much protien your consuming as females who consume too much can cause hormonal issues and possible cysts in ovaries. You may want to talk to your physician or a dietician to…

vitamins don't have calories...... the only thing that has cals is the fish/omega oils. hope this helps.

:smile: I also agree with the excercise. I'm not a fan of the gym as I think it's a time and money waster besides I lost over 30lbs just walking around the neighborhood regularly over a 2 year period

Your weight being stuck is called a plateau. The last 5-10Lbs is always the hardest to lose. you could try to trick your motabilizim by eating more cals for a few days then go back to your routine or switch your meals so this means eat supper for breakfast and breakfast for supper:flowerforyou:

You may wasnt to try another brand of shoe something with more support. You can go to the running store and get them to figure out what the best shoe for you is. I went one year and they got me to walk a line with out shoes and watched my walking pattern to determine the type of support I needed. I ended up getting…

hang in there you'll succeed if you don't give up. One thing I tried for a while was eating dinner at the beginning of the day and ending it with breakfast ei: chicken breast and veggies even a bun for breakfast then an apple for snack later on then non creamy lowfat soup for lunch and a bowl of raisin bran cereal for sup…

don't think cow milk is good for the adult body its not the easiest to digest and can usually complicate hormones this has been my experience as well a most of the people I know. I perfer to use either soy milk with no added sugar or rice milk made from brown rice tastes great and healthy too.

if your under on fats try adding a tsp/tbsp flax oil to one of your dihes or take it straight..

slacks are great try matching a different top blouse or sweater with them.

only a suggestion try a glass of water between each alcoholic low cal beverage.

-Anything with sugar will increase your snacking craving. maybe try the cottage cheese and with a 1/4 cup cooked egg white and if you need a little more one slice whole grain toast. -even lighter, lightly buttered popcorn. -An Apple is great cause it's filling and very good for your digestive system try it with or without…

hmmmm!! well I agree to an extent about taking a little too much protien is okay but not over too much especialy for women cause it can cause your testosterone levels to increase so yes it is okay but not too much. Maybe 55%-60% max for women just be careful on how many and what types of carbs your consuming. This is based…
