Wow, this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

You can only lose about 2 pounds per week in body fat. If you lose more, you are losing muscle mass. Good luck!

The body is an amazing efficient machine that cleans itself. Save your money and drink lots of water...in my opinion.

I don't like taking the supplements either, for the same reasons. Check out this website and see if there's any way to up your intake naturally: http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/nutrition/iron.html Good luck!

baked potato (plain) is loaded with carbs. Cereal and oatmeal with skim milk. Low-fat yogurt, fresh or frozen fruit, skim milk and whey protein shake. Lots of raw veggies and fruits. Toasted whole wheat bagel with honey. Pasta sprayed with butter Pam and tossed with steamed veggies and a sprinkle of parmesan. Several…

sugar is addictive so you're going to probably have to wean yourself down to almost no sugar. Are you logging your foods BEFORE you eat them? Think fruits and veggies...4-5 of each per day. Also, it may help to only get dark cocoa chocolate (60%). It is so rich that it will settle a craving much quicker. It's worth a try…

My trainer says to eat like a king for breakfast and then eat every 3 hours ending with a lighter dinner. He does stress however that you have to get your minimum calories in, so that may mean a bit more than light dinner if the calories and carbs are needed to reach the calorie goal toward the end of the day. He said the…

You're getting dizzy b/c you're not eating enough calories to sustain the energy required to exist, much less add exercise to it! Try whey protein shakes with berries, tofu stir-fry with lots of veggies, carb and protein supplement drinks from the health store, etc. Hope that helps...

I know that you said you're not exercising much, but that is what you need to do to generate some hunger pangs. Go for a stroll with your daughter, bike ride, window shop, just get moving more. Also, it might help to have a big raw veggie salad pre-made to add to. Like greens, cucumber, squash, mushrooms, peppers, beans,…

Mu Shu Pork or chicken is healthy...mostly cabbage with shredded meat wrapped in a thin "pancake".

It's hard to say. Are you new to the program? You could be storing water as your body adjusts to yplan. You could have eaten too much salt and are retaining temporarily. You could have been in starvation mode, and your body is storing, although since you've lost 4#'s on the plan so far, that is less likely. It could be…

Welcome back and good luck! You can do it!!!

Welcome and here's to a long and healthy life!:drinker:

I also had two Thanksgiving meals, but I passed on the dessert for both and made one plate at each. I had one of everything and had loaded plates, and the sodium had my feet and hands swollen at the end of the night, but I don't think I did too much damage! The compliments on how great I was looking helped…

I hope that I answer your question...still a little tired from yesterday! But if you don't find what you need to know ingredient wise, you can go to Calorieking.com or the thedailyplate.com to get that info. I calculate all the ingredients on paper with the breakdown and then create a meal with the totals of each and all,…

I know you are frustrated, which probably sends you right back to Coldstone Creamery!!LOL You might try keeping healthier options at home and see how that works for you. Try Double churned ice cream, Sorbet or Dibs. I like Dibs because I can put a serving on a small saucer, put the container back in the fridge, and sit at…

I gather I should keep them apart! She needs no new ideas!!! PLEEEEZZZ!!!

I'm raising a teenage girl. Rocky would definitely be more commanding when giving the curfew!!!

I do a 50 minute boot camp 5 days a week plus a brisk walk for 45 minutes. I partner with others to make it more fun and the accountability is there! On days that I don't have them, I struggle!

My nutritionist and I had this discussion last week! She said to look and make sure that it either comes from a lab or has USP on the label, meaning that it went through a lab. Crazy all the products on the market that aren't what you think they are...and they cost sooo much money!!!

Just got back from the store! I bought baby carrots, snow peas, sugar snaps, green beans, onions, sweet potatoes, peppers, romaine, cherry tomatoes, grapes, apples, strawberries and bananas from produce. Grape nuts and oatmeal from the cereal isle, as well as green tea bags. Whole wheat bread and simply fruit jelly.…

Welcome and good luck!:flowerforyou: :happy:

Best advice I can give is to enter your food in the diary before you put it into your mouth! You may change your mind, or change your portions! Good luck and welcome!:happy:

I'm jealous! I was supposed to do that today as well, but it rained! Too risky to do when wet!:(

Congratulations on your need for HRM adjustments!:happy:

Welcome! And the best advice I can offer is to post the food and portions before it goes into your mouth! Good luck in your journey to good health and fitness!:flowerforyou:
