  • I guess a "choice" meal would be better than a "cheat" meal. I basically qualify it as eating out and eating whatever I want until I'm full, not worrying about nutrition. I mostly call it a cheat because it's a cheat on my wallet too, since I'm doing my best to not eat out. I'm also not really cutting anything out of my…
  • I'm not sure about where to find workouts but maybe my plan can be of assistance. I never spend more than 45-60 minutes in the gym. 10 min - warmup (fast walking on treadmill, fast cycling on stationary bike or elliptical) 25 min - lifting (I spread my lifting over 3 days during the week. Day 1 - biceps, back and…
  • I've been struggling with this two. I made a decision about 2 weeks ago to start to get healthy (again) and when I weighed myself this morning I was definitely discouraged. Instead of letting it ruin my day, I'm using it to become more motivated to do what I have to in order to become healthy and get to oa healthy weight.…
  • Invest in a cheap heart rate monitor - I got one from Ebay for around $15
  • If possible, try eating at Dunkin and Subway less.... it's more work to prepare your food but your body will thank you.... trust me on this one (I used to work at Subway)
  • Feel free to add me!
  • I love cottage cheese, 1 slice of toast with grass fed butter and some fruit, 2 eggs with fruit, banana pancakes (1 banana mashed with 1 egg and fry it up)... other than that I basically eat the same stuff over and over!
  • I'm 23 and it's hard to lose weight... I've been struggling since I was a little girl. Mind over matter
  • I'm 23 and have somewhere in the range of 70-100 lbs to lose... not really sure but I would definitely like some more positive-minded friends to keep me motivated! Feel free to add me :)
  • 21 Day Fix comes with 30 min workouts for 7 days a week and meal containers. I think it costs around $60 and it absolutely works but it's really hard to stick to. The idea is that you form a habit in 21 days
  • I've completed T25 twice... My best advice is that if you can't keep up, then concentrate on your form and go at your own pace. It's really tempting to try to keep up with the video but sometimes it's just impossible. Also, modify what you need to modify - you need to do what's best for you in your own workout. I think you…
  • If you follow the food plan for Insanity you will probably start seeing some results...
  • Our bodies tend to lose at their own pace. Make sure your food is weighed out and what you're logging is accurate. What you already lost is awesome! Have patience
  • I'm friending you!
  • Anyone can feel free to add me! I'm always looking for more motivating friends :)
  • I'll message you! I actually did have great results and know people that had even better results than I did
  • California rolls and sashimi are usually safe :)
  • Hm... As long as your net calories are at least 1200 by the end of the day it shouldn't be a HUGE issue... Have you tried eating lots of smaller meals and snacks all day long? That might make it easier for you to get those calories in because by not eating enough you could be hurting yourself in the long run
  • Stop eating crap, get off the computer and go for a walk.
  • I think the reason you're getting pain could possibly be from your form. When you're running, it's optimal to press down in the middle part of the foot, instead of the typical heel-toe action which could prevent from injury. Water exercises like swimming and water zumba would probably be beneficial while you're recovering…
  • Suck it up because you are the parent and they are the child? Incorporate them into some form of exercise you both enjoy? Invest in a tablet and put the kid in the stroller with the tablet while you walk?
  • I am in no way, shape, or form an expert on the topic, but what I do know is that being flexible can help prevent future injuries. When I'm doing a workout video and the instructor mentions lengthening muscles, what I sort of envision, is that the muscles are all bunched up from doing a hard workout, so they are…
  • Usually the restaurants in the database are chains. If it's a family-owned or individually-owned type of place, the calories and nutrition aren't usually as devastating. I would just log each individual thing in the meal on MFP to the best of my abilities. No need to stress about it
  • I usually make breakfast my largest meal of the day and try to balance with protein, carbs and fats. So on a typical morning I'll eat an egg scramble with onions, jalapenos, garlic, kale, whatever veggies I have laying around, a piece of fruit on the side and then either turkey sausage/bacon. 2 Ingredient banana pancakes…
  • I don't track vitamins. I don't know anyone who does, to be honest.
  • My typical breakfast: 1/4 large yellow onion, 1 oz jalapenos, 1 garlic clove - browned in frying pan 2 eggs scrambled with the veggies, seasoned with salt and pepper 2 pieces turkey bacon 1 apple or banana and always coffee!!!!
  • As far as Turbo Jam the only workout I've ever consistently done was the 20 minute workout. It's a good program, however I'm on Week 3 of T25 and I LOVE it. I only do the modifications, I frequently take breaks, and when I finish each DVD I feel amazing about myself. When I was doing TurboJam I wasn't seeing huge results…
  • How about a veggie cheeseburger, no bun and side salad instead of fries?
