Ok. I will give it a go. I'll weigh in tomorrow. Good luck everybody!

A natural no-salt peanut butter has become a staple. Good protein and healthy fats. It is well worth the 180 calories a serving.

This. Mostly for fairness reasons. I keep my stuff trimmed a bit but I am not going Brazilian so he shouldn't have to either.

I am in the 'I know it is not good for me but I drink a few every week cause I like caffeine.' I can't say with 100% certainty whether it has affected my pace of weight loss. I do know with 100% certainty that if I eat too much I gain weight so I focus more on that.

I finished the program and I loved it. Run slower than you think you should for longer than you think you can. Good luck!

If anybody in the PDX area is looking for a dog to exercise with, consider Spike at the Multnomah shelter. http://www2.co.multnomah.or.us/AnimalWeb/Detail.aspx?id=393158 He is really good with people and he is chosen for public events all the time. He is also really good with other dogs as he was used as a tester in…

In vs Out is more important than what. Kenyan runners eat a ton of Sugar and they aren't getting fat because they burn that stuff off. From: http://www.active.com/running/Articles/Eating_practices_of_the_best_endurance_athletes_in_the_world.htm

The Way We Get By by Spoon

I think a couple of people mentioned Spinach. I made Kale chips yesterday; just 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1 bunch of kale chopped up into biggish pieces on 350 for 13 mins.

Most of the equation is calories in vs calories out, if you are under you will most likely lose weight. For health reasons, you might want to make sure these fats are coming from healthy sources like nuts, avocado and olive oil.

This. It is also better to focus on what you should be doing vs what you can't have anymore. IE "I will eat some vegetables to meet my fiber goals" vs "I can never have cake again!"

I don't do the gym: the roads are free. In the past I have used the gym successfully though - something about knowing I was paying for it made me go.

Maybe if you have a wheat or grain allergy you should cut down or cut them out otherwise I don't think it is an issue. Especially if you are choosing less processed food. This is totally anecdotal but my sister has been a vegetarian for several years, lives on whole grains, beans and soy, and is very fit, healthy and thin.…

The best advice I got when I was starting out was "Go slower than you think you should, longer than you think you can." Esp the slow part. Running is not possible if you are hurt.

If you are using MFP's calculator (Food->Recipes), you can just add ingredients and it will tell you how much the whole thing is. Then after you enter the ingredients, you can decide how many portions you want it to be and it will divide the number for you.

Nope. It communicates wirelessly with the watch.

It is just a little elastic type band that fits right about where your sports bra would normally hit. It is not very constraining and honestly I don't even notice it anymore - sometimes I forget it is still on.

I like the randomness of this sort of workout plan and the fact you could do it with any four core moves. For those playing at home your totals will be 94 moves per suit (94 Jumping Jacks, Planks, etc)

If you like DJs & Sampling, you should maybe give Girl Talk a try, the album Night Ripper is probably the best one. My last workout was just Girl talk songs. The one before that had stuff like: Rihanna - Don't Stop the Music Run DMC - It's Tricky Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me this way Cycle Sluts From Hell - I wish you…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo Here is one of the stickies on the topic. Personally, when stuff is working for me I eat at least some of my exercise calories back because it keeps me from getting too tired and I still lose weight.

The best piece of advice I got that has not already been mentioned: Go slower than you think you should and longer than you think you can (within your goals). Slow is good for early on to prevent injury while your body adjusts to running.

Wow, WTG! You can definitely tell you have lost weight around your waist.

I used to watch it more a few years ago than I do now but I still like it on occasion. Some of my favs are: Ranma 1/2 Slayers Death Note Fullmetal Alchemist

This. Especially considering that most calories burned and at least some of the calories consumed as just estimates.
