I kind of have trouble with both. A lot of times when I'm craving something salty, after I eat it I want something sweet, and vice versa. I like Cheez-its or other crackers for my salty fix usually, and sweets are almost always snack cakes - if I have them in the house.

What they said. Invest in professionally fitted shoes, and start slow. There are lots of programs, books, etc. available for non-runners to slowly, safely transition.

Only if you're never gonna give him up.

As long as I get an invitation by owl, I'm in.

Turkey sausage patty and a smoothie with powdered oatmeal, unsweetened almond milk, greek yogurt, frozen peaches, frozen mixed berries, and spinach. It was my first time trying this recipe; I'll be adding some sweetener next time! :wink:

I don't know if this will be of any help or consolation to you, but when I'm restricting my refined sugar intake, I lose weight much more quickly as well, especially at the beginning. Maybe don't be too concerned unless it continues at this pace?

I have two Jack Russell mixes, but I don't run with them. They like to walk, but I'm afraid of exhausting them if we run, or tripping over them, honestly!

A couple of times I've ordered something out that I normally like but just wasn't prepared well that day. I've actually said out loud, "What a waste of calories." If I'm going to eat something special like that, it better be good!

I make it up based on what I've got in the house, and I don't measure anything. Also, I use a small personal blender, so it just takes a handful of most of the ingredients. Lately I've been mixing: 1 banana small handful frozen mango, sliced peaches, and mixed berries handful of baby spinach splash of almond milk I've even…

I quit drinking milk and have been avoiding other dairy products (kind of) because it irritated my acne-prone skin. I LOVED drinking milk, and I haven't found anything that replaces that, but I've had success using almond or soy milk as a general replacement for milk with cereal or in recipes. As for cheese, you can…

I know what you mean. I went through a time where I thought that too. The guys who were interested in me were perfectly nice, but fit that extremely nerdy, awkward description. Some of them I was friends with already but just not attracted to AT ALL romantically, which made it even more awkward, because then I was caught…

I'm only running on a treadmill right now, and I usually watch a television show. I have several on DVD, and I'll go for about an hour to get a whole episode in. I don't have cable or Internet to stream shows, so this is pretty much my only "TV time" which makes it a good motivator sometimes. Oh, and I don't really *run*…

Someone may have already posted this, but "negative calorie foods"

These days, pretty much anything goes. Use your friends and the nature of the event as your cues. The last bachelorette party I went to was organized via Facebook and word of mouth.

Others are probably more knowledgeable to me, but a generally accepted idea is to have a proportion of 80/20 "good" foods to "cheat" foods. How you divvy that up - whether it's allowing yourself a small "cheat" everyday or having one or two "cheat" meals a week - is up to you. Personally, I don't like to think of it as…

You can also use the Run Your Butt Off program.

Me! I'm using the Run Your Butt Off method, and I'm on week 2, which is a cycle of 4 minutes walking, 1 minute walking. I'm looking forward to entering my first race in the early summer. I'm going to try the Poke Salat 5k in Arab, Alabama!

I think you may just have to change SOMETHING, anything. It may be switching to less processed foods, as some have said, or it may be being a little more conservative with your input for calories burned (I use a HRM too, and I'm still skeptical sometimes), or trying a new type of exercise, or it could even be restricting…

MIne are still up, but only outside. :/ I'm a wimp about the weather, and with it being so cold, I didn't feel up to it. I'm hoping to take everything down this weekend.

I forgot to mention that one thing I do to keep the overall cost down is buy whole fruits and veggies and prep and cut them myself. I usually do it all the day I go grocery shopping or just any time I can set aside a chunk of time to do it all at once, that way it's grab-and-go during the week.

I pack lunches regularly for my job as well, and I'm on a very tight budget myself. I typically cycle through the same things over and over, and I often eat the same thing for lunch for about a week because it means I have to buy less groceries. I like half sandwiches with veggies and a low-cal dip, like hummus or veggie…

It could be worse. You could be a teacher regularly mistaken for a student. At your own school.

Aw, yay! :) I wonder if there's anyone else . . .

The Night Tourist, by Katherine Marsh (YA or maybe even children's fiction) What's the first thing you do when you get in the shower?

I'm from the South, and we boil most of our vegetables to death! Personally, I love just about all veggies, but I've learned that you can kick up their flavor considerably with some basic ingredients. My favorite seasonings to add to carrots/green beans/etc are minced garlic or garlic powder, Mrs. Dash Table Blend, chicken…

Count me in! The big day is October 4, 2014, and I have about 25 pounds to lose. My fiance says he still thinks I'm sexy (this is how I know he's a keeper), but I'd like to get back to where I was when we met. I've been "trying" the last couple months, but I'm really knuckling down now, and I would love some support as…

This. Why has no one commented on this. Genius. Hilarious.

I'm a comfort eater too. Stress is my biggest trigger. I'm a new teacher - young, struggling to manage the kids, struggling to teach my content, struggling to pay my bills -, I'm planning a wedding, and I'm living in a city 6 hours from my family where my only friend is my fiance. Over the last 2 1/2 - 3 years, as the…

As long as you don't add any butter or oil to your water, plain pasta should have the same calories cooked or uncooked.
