I thought it was from low calcium.

you look GREAT! enjoy...

^^This is the same for me. I also find that the more nutritious the food I eat, the less cravings I have. I have come to think that cravings are my body's way of saying it needs more foods high in vitamins, minerals, protein, water and fiber.

Sleeping with the Enemy

I do a spinning class at 5:30am. I like that class because I do not have to think or talk to anyone. By the time I'm done, I'm totally awake. A friend of mine who works out every morning at that hour said to make sure you get in bed by 9-10pm. Keeping that in my head has really helped. After a while, I got used to getting…

Okay, I have a question. (I am not new to lifting weights.) I am not sore so far. I feel like I am lifting as much as I can safely do correctly...but no soreness... any suggestions? Yesterday's workout was Dead lifts 45lbs, then 50 lbs. Pullup machine (set on 118, not sure what that is) shoulder press 15 lbs (I stood on a…

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS!! Not kidding at all. Slice in half, toss will a little olive oil, salt and pepper, maybe a little Tony's. Roast on 400 for 20 minutes. Unbelievably good. I NEVER ate brussels sprouts before...didn't like them at all. Roasting takes away the bitter taste. YUM!

WOW!!! Great job, what an inspiration you are!

Yep! Keep it up.:smile:

We are pretty close. I will will friend you! Age:41 Height 5'7" SW:171 CW: 167 GW: 140

27, 29, and 31. It's definitely okay to wait into your 30's!

I agree with this.

You look absolutely AMAZING!!!

I do.

I agree with this. This is pretty much my strategy too.

Now, I didn't eat this ALL the time, but... Outback Steakhouse Awesome Blossom....It's a giant onion ring made with the entire onion. That's THOUSANDS of calories!

Yep...#1, is there any other way? :laugh:

When you say you eat 1200 calories, do you mean NET? Or are you eating 1200 and burning 500, thereby netting 700 calories?

Great post!

Listen to your body! For me, if it's not one thing, it's another... I have struggled with injured feet, shin splints, knees, elbows, back, and wrists. The best advice I can give you is to rest your injury a bit and then don't stop working out, just change your workout to something that works for your body. I currently love…

I weigh almost everything unless I eat the whole container and the calories are on the package. With fruit and vegetables, I either weigh it or I estimate the size (small apple), etc.

^^THIS!

I don't drink milk or soy and it's very low in calories.

I have been where you are and I also know what it's like to work a job you absolutely love and have a passion for. Having been in THAT type of job, I can NEVER settle for less again. I think when a person says they have a family so they can't leave the job they hate, that is a cop out. Anyone can form a plan and make a…

Good job! Way to follow your dreams!

Yes, I think it's easier if you are the person who breaks up. You deserve better. You deserve to be extremely happy with the person you love. Trust me, a long time relationship is hard enough with a person you adore, let alone someone who doesn't meet your needs. I would go a step farther and make yourself a deal. Promise…

Yep! ^^^This

Thank you for posting this! GREAT JOB!!!!

I love having MFP on my phone...it makes it so easy to check restaurants before I go. I always try to look at the menu online also. It seems what I would have chosen is NEVER the healthiest item....kinda scary....you just can't always tell by the description.
