  • Love football and will probably watch it, even though my team is not playing. I however am not using it as a free day, I do not really do that ( I tend to get sick if I eat too much junk), I used yesterday as my re-feed day (try to stay below what my maintenance calories would be) when I went out to eat with my family.
  • I agree with this, I have a treadmill at home and use the elliptical when I go to the gym. They have 6 different styles and I can only use 2 of them, I am short and find the ones that do not work hurt my knee. Quality is always best, we had a cheap treadmill and my hubby hated it (he is a bigger and has longer stride and…
  • I have read all the Sookie Books and they were addicting!
  • There is a site called goodreads.com, they have some pretty good ideas, I am a member of that site. Here are some good ones I have read lately. I like to read all types of books, my husband teases me when he looks at the bookcase and sees such an eclectic book selection. I love romance, mystery, historical fiction. Some of…
  • This is what happened to me too! :frown:
  • I have to agree with everyone else. The first two places I lost were in my face and bust, then I started losing everywhere else. Are you mixing weight training in with cardio? You cannot spot reduce, but combining these two things will help and you won't get bulky like a lot of woman think.
  • I have found on here that 4 oz is raw and not sure about pasta, but on the package for pasta it says dry, just like rice. I am so used to measuring my food in grams, I sometime forget to switch my scale from grams to oz. Before I started using this I used Calorie King, http://www.calorieking.com/, which I still use to look…
  • I love taking classes, but I also like to go for some down time. We have a treadmill at home, but I still go to the gym to use theirs so I can have some me time. I see a trainer 3 times a week and use the treadmill, elliptical, & bike the other 3 days. I love taking classes, like spin and kickboxing, in there I am on my…
  • We have the Biggest Loser Ultimate workout for the Kinect and we love it.
  • I wish more people would realize this! I have a couple family members that argue with me about this very subject. I refuse and will fight hard so I do not inherit family health issues!
  • Here is what I believe thanks to Miss Leigh Peele. 1. Diet is everything 2. Training is specific 3.Denial is death 4. Movement is king 5. Rest is non-negotiable
  • I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but losing it slower has worked for me. Since Jan '10 I have lost a total of 35 pounds and have been able to keep it off. There was a few months I couldn't exercise, I broke/dislocated my toe and had a hairline fracture in a bone down from it. During this time I watched my diet. When I…
  • I hate cottage cheese too, it's a consistency issue with me, but I put it in my veggie lasagna and I have also blended it until smooth.
  • What about a salad with cut up chicken, or a sandwich, cut up veggies, pb and honey sandwich, apple and cheese, popcorn with some nuts, protein bar-I like the Think Thin bars, almonds, Here is a website I found full of great ideas. I'm not diabetic, but they are great ideas.…
  • When I am doing my recipe's I take the total of the ingredients, add it together and divide by three, I do it the same with calories. This tells me how many ounces or grams one serving of the sauce would be and how many calories are in it. I count my chicken and rice separate. If you need an example let me know. :smile:
