http://simputil.com/download/unitconverter.php That is a converter but there is no real way to measure how many grams in a tablespoon, since grams is a weight and tablespoons is a volume. A gram of rice is going to be less than a gram of marshmallows in sense of volume. Hope this helps!!!

I was changing one day and my daughter walked by my room and said "mommy your boobs are getting smaller" I chuckled and turned around to go to my dresser and she yells " mommy your butt is getting smaller too!!" Its nice when someone that you work with notices but its hysterical when its your 9 year old daughter!!! Great…

If you are having a church wedding you could have him do the readings.

I was in the same situation 2 weeks ago and I found one at Reebok that was awesome. I tried on the ones at Nike and New Balance and they did not have as much support. Just remember when you are trying them on to jump around in the dressing room!! I know that sounds silly but you have to know how its going to do! Good luck!!

I have had to give up most cheese. I am allowing myself the fat free kind in my sandwich but that is only because it doesnt taste as good. I am a die hard cheese-a-holic! There were times I would eat a whole package in a day but not anymore, I havent had a good piece of cheese in over 3 months.

I was in the same situation until I went to the outlet mall yesterday. I am a 40DD and I bought one from Reebok that is fabulous. I felt like a fool trying them on since I was jumping up and down in the fitting room but I needed to know. I also found that they run a bit big. I tried the 2x on and it was actually to big for…

When you are cooking for someone else and taste test to make sure that it is good, it does not count! I like this thread you have some good excuses!!! Ok not good as in good to use but good as in I never thought of that but am guilty of some!!

I struggle daily to get over 1200 but I find that when I get closer to 1400 my scale moves. I find that 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on a half piece of honey wheat bread and a protein bar after my workout at night helps me get over the magic number. I also make sure I am eating 3 meals and 3 snacks (most days anyway) in…

Chobani yogurt and Pure Protein high protein bars the bars help me get a chocolate fix and protein at night so I am not hungry.

I am curious to that too. I downloaded Jeff Galloway's c25k this morning and I actually went and did it. Then I continued to walk for another 3 miles. I couldnt quite run but I decided to speed walk. I realized I need to go shopping for a sports bra before I can do the running so I am going for that this afternoon!

Thanks for the tip, I am downloading it to my Ipod now!!

Chobani, I like most of them just can not stomach the plain or honey! My favorite is the pomegranate!!!

HI I too am 38 and have another 70 to lose, through this site I have lost almost 30 and feel great. The people on here have been a wonderful inspiration! Though my journey I have learned that you have to eat to lose, I was making the mistake of just barely getting to 1200 and working off 600-800 through Tae-Bo and was…

Where did you find them? I can not eat regular pasta due to having had gastric bypass and it makes me sick every time but these might be worth a shot!! I am always looking for the substitute for pasta!!

I use tofu (1/5th of package) 1 cup of mixed berries, 1 cup of skim milk, and a serving of whey protein or slim fast powder. If I dont have any tofu I use a nonfat plain yogurt in its place.

That was funny, thanks I needed a good laugh after the day I have had!!

Hi, I am 38 with just one daughter but I have another 75 pounds to lose. But I am juggling work, school (for me and daughter) plus soccer and Karate for her. There are days I cant exercise and those are the days that I feel like garbage. I love this site and the encouragement I get from here. Feel free to add me if you…

There is no harm in it at all, if you are going to go over in something protein is the one to go over in. I go over daily but keep my carbs down. You can adjust the amount by lowering your carbs and increasing your protein.

Tofu with skim milk and frozen fruit or a whey protein powder with skim milk fat free plain yogurt and frozen fruit. I actually use a slim fast (generic version) powder with 1/2 cup plain non fat yogurt, 1 cup skim milk and 1 cup of frozen strawberries/blueberries. If it is not sweet enough for me I will add a splenda to…

They are fantastic!! I bought them a while ago and my 9 year old daughter and I do them not just as exercise but to have a good laugh and good time. She cracks up when we have to do the booty circle, she thinks its funny and every so ofter I fool around and do some silly moves along with what they are doing just to make us…

I am not going to lie to you its a killer. I started it yesterday (I also did cardio inferno by Billy Blanks) and I can hardly move today but I pushed through the pain and did them both again today. If you want to add me I will help keep you encouraged!!

Go on EBAY and look up Billy Blanks Tae Bo! It is fantastic and when you do a 45 minute workout you burn over 800 calories!!! I found 6 of them for only $22 and that included the shipping.

Thanks Donna!! I read your profile and we have about the same journey. Right down to the hysterectomy and the 100 pounds to lose, add me if you would like too! I try to be as encouraging as I can!!

Ok this may sound stupid but what is slimgenics? Oh and welcome to the site!!!

It is true I have them and they are ugly!! If you can avoid it try not to cross your legs, just cross them at the ankles.

I am never worried about being over in protein. I usually am before dinner too and I have a protein bar before bed. So I go over by a lot. You can adjust the percentages that you have, you can lower your carbs and up your protein.

Best of luck and hey doctors are usually wrong!! OK not all the time but it is fun to prove them wrong!! Add lots of friends for the added support it really does help! Have faith you can do it!! Add me if you would like too!

Ok I looked at your breakfast for this morning. I noticed you are using a very high calorie bread. You might want to try Natures own light honey wheat its only 35 calories per slice. I also notices your sodium is high for breakfast which means you will have to add extra water to flush that out.

It may make a little difference but not that much, the extra work outs you did to get ready for the run may have built more muscle and as we all know muscle weighs more than fat. I am in the same situation with my BP and my doctor keeps lowering my meds, I do hope at some point to come off of them but since I have been…

I too had gastric bypass and never met my goal weight then gained 40 pounds back. So now I have almost 100 pounds to lose (ok 75 now since I have lost almost 25). Since starting here I have found that the support of strangers is more important than the support of my husband since he is skinny and doesn't understand. My…
