I took it for a month and I was fine. I also was on it for U.C. So gaining weight was not a concern, or even possible.

My boyfriend has done Jack3d and now he's taking hemo rage black. He loves his pre workout stuff. they're powder mixed with water. Vitamin shoppe sells them try swansonvitamins.com too. They have some stuff low in price.

I don't know too much about this. But I do know that the body is not made to breakdown processed foods, or chemicals. Which Diet sodas are full of chemicals and artificial everything. So if the body is confused or can't break it down, it may store it. In my opinion you're better off accepting the calories in a regular…

Try eating protein bars, and drinking protein instead of actually eating all your calories, drink some of them too.

This may sound unhealthy but it's under 300 calories and it fills me up! I use one slice of bread, usually potato because it's my favorite. a slice of 2% sharp cheddar kraft singles. 1 piece of bacon/turkey bacon/ or one sausage patty/ link. then a fried egg on top. I'm a sucker for the yolk. I usually eat around 830-9 and…

Are you going to a chain restaurant? Because almost all of them have a nutritional menu upon request. I think it might be a law now to list that stuff? I'm not sure. I do know that I work for a restaurant and we have a nutritional menu and a "garden fare menu". You can also always let the server know you're looking for…

Why not just eat a pb&j? Or eat lunch before you go in. I wait tables at Olive Garden. So I know how it is to work way too many hours with out a break and to work during 2 meal times. What I try to do is eat a decent breakfast then have brunch something smaller just so I know I won't get that crazy hunger from not eating…

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising ever time we fall. - Confucius. I actually have this tattooed on my rib cage.

Try eating high calorie low fat foods. Granola has tons of calories, but not much fat. Avocado is another one.

You'll probably both do well with some techno/ remixed songs. They have like really fast paced beats to get you moving faster. I myself listen to 90's alternative, I sing along in my head and it keeps my mind off the time, as I usually quit running due to boredom! lol

If you have someone to play with, Volleyball! You don't have to be competitive, I do it for fun, plus I play with my bikini on so I get a nice tan while doing it! :)

lol I was using a space :) neverminddddd

There's like 1000 things when I search 100 push up challenge. :(

I just logged in threw facebook and set up my stuff. I'll be in SC this week for my wed. and fri. work out so I'll log mine after I get back. Just letting you know so you don't think I bailed lol

I just checked their site and you can log it with their push up logger which links with face book! That might be an easy way for us all to keep it on track? What do ya think?

This is going to be crazy tough. I some how managed to do 15. Is there any way to set up a blog that we can all log in keep each other updated?

Sounds great to me! What's the plan?

Try using Tarder Joes fat free sour cream instead of yogurt. It may sound a bit crazy, but I wanted a smoothie one morning and that's all I had to work with. I tossed blueberries, a banana, some dole pineapple tidbits (with juice) milk, the sour cream, and 2 ice cubes in. This is basically all I had to put in my smoothie…

Try veggie straws! You get 38 straws for 130 calories! I love them I think they're better than chips. My boyfriend even likes them! He hates Veggies! lol. You can dip them in stuff too! I use salsa since it's the lowest calorie dip I can find!

Use corn tortillas, I have some that are sodium free. Stay away from sports drinks, like gatorade. I didn't search through your diary, but anything canned has way more sodium than frozen or fresh. When using canned Items, choose low sodium. You can always add sea salt later. I'm not a vegetarian, but lately you'd think I…

Sometimes I just go to the store and grab random veggies that catch my eye. Then think about what "sauce" would go well with them. Like crashed tomatoes, stir fry sauce, chicken broth, come low cal dressing etc. Then I choose something as like a "filler" quinoa, brown rice, pastini. I've made some awesome very low cal for…

I use egg whites made easy! I love them, at 30 cal per 1/4 cup, you are super full! I add whatever veggies I have in the fridge to them to jazz it up but keep it low on calories. If I did a morning workout I sometimes go a little wild and make them into a breakfast burrito. Adding different spices, salsa, anything that…

I'm dying to get this. I just want to know if it's worth the money. I go on the website once a week and look at all the stuff lol.

create a recipe, and only put how much butter you think you consume, like 2 TBS.

Wow congrats! You can see a huge difference! Great job and keep it up! :flowerforyou:

The only advice I can offer is try something new, your body doesn't like doing the same things all the time. Try new things like Volleyball, basketball, tennis, rock climbing, cycling, etc. I'm not sure what your norm is, but do something different. Not only will it help with the plateau, but it may get you you pumped to…

I hear ya! But I'm also 5'3, and about half legs, half torso and upper body, so a 10 minute mile is FAST for me. lol

Measure the amount of marinade you discard. and only input the amount absorbed by the meat/ veggies. You can always use quick adds too to just try to "guess" I usually round up for my quick adds though just to be on the safe side. :)

If you want a healthy steady weight loss, then yes it's good to eat back some/most of your calories, If you're hungry. If not then don't. I haven't really found that it changes my weight loss any. But you can hit a plateau from eating too little calories and burning too many.
