I just bought my mini trampoline this weekend and I love it! Right now, I'm just focusing on "jumping" for 15 minutes at a time. According to the video that came with it, it is less of a jumping motion than a "pulling your legs up to meet your stomach" motion. Let me tell you, today, after 15 mins of that motion, I can…

Holy cats, this could not have come at a better time! No mattter how much I tell myself that the scale matters so much less than feeling healthy, energetic, etc, I know I am a big liar when the scale stalls. Take this week for example. I have been steadily losing 1.5-2.5 pounds a week for the last 3 months. I swap out my…

I was recently in this situation, but on the other side. I commented to a girl at the gym that her pants were cute and asked her where she got them. As we got to talking, she said that she was a few sizes down and was thinking about putting her clothes on Craig's List. I immediately jumped in and asked if I could see them…

The fact that you stopped when you were full was the best thing you could have done. In my mind, that makes the difference between being on a diet and choosing a healthy lifestyle. Diets don't allow cheeseburgers or fries, and no one wants to live their whole life like that. You chose to have a great night with friends,…

I agree with Robin - fajitas are the way to go. You can control your meat portion and have as many peppers and onions you want. I also ask for a side of limes. They provide a really nice condiment of flavor for no calories. Enjoy!

Aha! Strength taining under cardio did the trick - thank you!!! I understand the calorie change is no where near accurate and I'm ok with that. I just wated some sort of token calorie reward for 45 mins of effort. I'll take the 230 calories! Thanks all again!

I have tried a bunch of butter sprays out there specifically for air-popped popcorn and the two best I have found are the Kernal Seasonings (the same company that makes the shakers) and the Crisco Butter spray. I had to try a bunch of them to find one that didn't have an alcohol taste and the Crisco is my favorite so far.

Thank you so much for sharing your journal here for us to see. I just bought the Flat Belly Diet book, mostly for the recipes, and I found that I have trouble adding calories back into meals when I have spent so much time training myself not to. For instance, I usually eat my salad with just lemon juice as a dressing.…

Wow - that was a wonderful gift to read this morning! I know that I do have a problem with gratification and weight loss. If I don't see the numbers I expect on the scale, it is way too easy for me to get depressed . I think I will print out this post and hang it on my monitor when I need an extra lift. Thank you so much!!!

My go-to recipe for tilapia is pretty easy to make. I dice up peppers (1/2 each of red, yellow and green) and chop up about a cup or cup and a half of broccoli. To the veggies, I add 1 8oz. cup of fat free sour cream and about 2 tbs. of dry ranch seasoning and stir it all together. I lay out a large piece of aluminum foil…
