I do the Cardio Max and the Power Sculpt. I actually created my own entry for both and I use my HRM to get a more accurate reading so it fluctuates slightly. Before I had my HRM I used the generic aerobics listing and for Sculpt I used strength training. I will warn you that when I got my HRM it showed me burning about 100…

I love making little pita pizzas or, my newest favorite roll-up pizzas (made with Damascus Flax roll-ups). Just take the pita (or roll-up) put a little tomato sauce, some cheese (I like fresh mozzarella or feta), and whatever toppings you like. I put turkey bacon, red peppers, chicken, olive..whatever I'm in the mood for.…

In between breakfast, lunch and dinner I snack on: - carrots and hummus - Fiber One bars - yogurt - instant oatmeal - soup - quaker rice cakes minis - cottage cheese - fruit Helps keep me from ever getting to the point I'm starving and I just want to eat anything in sight. :laugh:

When I got my HRM I discovered most of the machines I had been using said I was burning more calories than my HRM. I stuck with the HRM results and I immediately noticed a difference in how quickly the weight was coming off. I think the high calories shown by the machine was making me eat too many calories each day (all…

I assume that the nutritional information on an item is for the item "as is". So ground beef/turkey/chicken would be weighed before cooking. Could be wrong but at least you're erring on the side of eating too little rather than too much!

HRM = Heart Rate Monitor. I have a Polar F6 that I love. You wear one part on your wrist and the other around your chest (some don't require a chest strap). It monitors your heart rate and tells you how many calories you are burning based on your weight/heart rate. Before I got one I was just estimating calories burned…

When I do the whole video I usually burn about 450-500 calories. Congratulations!

I usually burn about 230 calories for part 1. Sometimes a little more. I've found no matter what I'm doing I burn about 10 calories/min. I definitely recommend getting a HRM it really helped me get an exact count for my calories so I wasn't eating more exercise cals than I was actually supposed to!

So looking it over it looks like the same pre-determined menu that my local Moroccan restaurant serves. That being said I'm guessing that it is served the same way which means one or two bowls (depending on how big your group is) of each dish being plunked down and shared between your party. You still get lots of food but…

Because I chew so much gum I actually count the calories. At 5 calories a piece it adds up fast if you're chewing a whole pack a day!

Stay away from any of the rolls with mayo or cheese (such as the Philadelphia roll). I usually go with shrimp, tuna, cucumber rolls and tuna rolls. Salmon is fine but more fattening. California rolls aren't too bad but don't eat more than one. Most of the rolls are in the database if you want to check out calories before…

There are several good recipe calculators out there. 2 I like are : http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp and http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php

I have a Treeing Walker Coonhound. Absolutely gorgeous but completely crazy! :laugh: She's coming up on 11 years old and most of them have been ....challenging. She's too cute to stay mad at though!! Getting loose and running through the neighborhood is one of our biggest problems. She's fine most of the time but if she…

I do the Biggest Loser Cardio Max video. I promise Jillian will kick your butt! :laugh:

I use ground turkey for everything! Stuffed Peppers, Shepard's Pie (with cauliflower mash instead of potatoes), meatballs, burgers, lasagna....

You're right you can do whatever you like but remember that if you do eat the foods you named you'll probably undo everything you've done for the week. A cheat day is always nice, I do it myself once a month or so, but if you're working with a 500-800 calorie deficit a day to lose a pound or more a week and you splurge and…

I'll be thinking of you today!! Good Luck!!:flowerforyou:

You're going to love it! Once I got mine it really helped me stay on track!

Protein! Grilled chicken breast, pork tenderloin, turkey, turkey burger....the less processed the better!

If you need a chocolate fix go for chocolate Fiber One bars (140 cals). I promise you won't be disappointed!!!

I second the Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Biggest Loser Power Sculpt. Both my bf and I love them!

Go out and buy some (I recommend Tribe brand)!! The description doesn't always sound so tasty but it is delish!

The Frontega calories definitely come from the bread. Check out this "Survival Guide" for eating at Panera (compliments of Hungry Girl) http://www.hungry-girl.com/week/weeklydetails.php?isid=1573

I agree, try some tilapia. It has a very mild taste. I usually sprinkle mine with lemon pepper and broil it in the oven. Personally tuna steaks are my favorite :smile:

The question is did the client keep the weight off and for how long? 50 lbs in 3 months sound like too much too fast!

You're not the only one to make that mistake! :smile: I used to make a low fat chili all the time because I thought I was "being good". Turns out beans have a crazy amount of calories! :sad:

Some snacks I take to work: Fiber One bars (chocolate is my fav!) String Cheese Carrots and hummus fruit Quaker mini cheese rice cakes (if you haven't tried them they come in all sorts of flavors!) cottage cheese yogurt

I use chicken breasts but maybe you can adjust these to work with tenderloins?: I stuff chicken breasts with feta cheese and sundried tomatoes and then bake or stuff with feta cheese and then wrap the breast in turkey bacon or lean ham and bake. Both are delicious!

I started satiating my pizza craving by making my own. I use a pita (or two ), tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and turkey bacon. Yum! My bf prefers feta cheese and black olives. I absolutely love them and when I'm finished I'm full and don't crave pizza anymore!

hummus and veggies or if you don't want veggies Reduced fat Triscuits
