Congrats on creating the BBBP Challenge. This is just the motivation I need. Dont be intimidated! Face your fears---they aren't real. At the gym I alternate between an upper and a lower body workout. I urge you to find a gym buddy who knows his/her way around the weights or else you'll find yourself floundering about. I…

thank you for sharing. i've learned much from you.

Yoga is the best exercise---mind body and spirit exercise.

eat a pear--5 g/fruit - fiber

i had a large bowl of egg drop soup at a chinese restaurant.

that's great. yes, this happens cause your body is thirsty and feels that there's no longer a drought so it can now turn on its thirst signals, striving now for equilibrium---a good thing. Book Suggestion: "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" :flowerforyou:

"I feel that I am following all the steps correctly as you stated, but for the past three days I have really been tired. I push myself to do my exercises , but really tired. I take vitamins with eating very healthy meals , no sweets. What do you think is going on with me. ? Makes me tempted to eat candy bar for a pick up,…

"Meals that are skipped, or which do not contain the right nutrition will eventually cause a low metabolic rate which in turn will cause the fat to return even faster when your diet finishes." The above mentioned sentence is very instructive. When you eat (let's say a twinky and fries and ice cream-(yum:blushing: )) some…

love them anyway

very cool. thanks for sharing

cold stone...my weakness

Remember! If you've just started a weight training program, then you will be gaining awesome muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. So while you'll weigh more, you will be slimming down, firming up and getting a sculpted physique.. Try to incorporate the tape measure into your weekly check-in routine. :smile: have no fear,…

i must admit i fell into a moment of despair. :sick: :sick: :sick: Glad its back up and running! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Thanks for the info on WW. My cousin, too, has been very successful with her WW program. So they are obvious on to something. :smile: I am curious though, about fat requirements and coconut oil. Have you heard that coconut oil actually helps put the body into a fat burning zone? :tongue: And some body builders have 3-6…

Its great, just look for the fiber and every thing just seems to fall into place!

Slieber, Way to go! Cool Runnings! "Better out than in", that's what I always say. The excess waste in our colon is heavy and even slows down our metabolism. With the help of adequate water, the fiber helps to push the waste out of our bodies, which even results in brighter, more beautiful, more healthy looking skin. And…

Helawat, Congrats! Hooray for you!:bigsmile:

Hi Guys, :smokin: Hello from the Virgin Islands. I've been with MFP for just over a week and I'm happy to be a part of this community. :smile: One thing that I'd like to discuss is FIBER. For my 1200 calorie diet, MFP suggests only 14 grams of fiber. :indifferent: That is just too low, to be healthy. Fiber is essential to…

Whoopsie! :ohwell: I goofed. :explode: Pls see the Message Board>Nutrition:bigsmile:
