  • Ask the pharmacist they always are willing to help, tell them what you have coming up and they will give you the best product advice.
  • OK this is what I was wondering even on your goal it's 15 lbs. to lose and when you post on another thread that you are 5'10" and 150lbs the ideal wt. for a male of 25 yrs. is 158 - 170 (w/o muscular build) I can see why your mom thinks you don't need to lose wt. sounds to me like she is trying to find things that will…
  • If you are going to eat less than 1200 calories a day you need to be under your Doctor's care. You need to be in order to not hurt your organs permanently. I know I am walking that road right now (under 1000) and trust me it is nothing to mess with, you need vitamin supplements you need a high protein level, you need to…
  • Oh I hear ya and yes that is worth doing the happy dance over!
  • My niece loves mud runs she wears over knee spandex type pants and tank top over sports bras... things that won't slip off when covered in slimy mud and a bandana on her hair... so what should you wear? well it should be washable... did I mention washable? LOL oh :)
  • I go to UCF they have a (free) full gym and wellness center on the main campus, I'm at a Regional and we have full use of a pool and fitness center of the adjoining local college. It was not free if you were a college student but it is paid for and free for UCF regional students. Regardless even if it's not free I'm sure…
  • go to the frozen foods in the store and check the thin crust pizza's there and find something close to it. You can always use this link but you're going to have a good idea what it has on it... http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
  • Same ^^^ or Kraft's Light Mayo depends on what is on sale when I am shopping for a refill but it is always Hellmann's or Kraft... I do measure and often use 1 tsp. since I use thin sandwich breads often so a little goes a long way!
  • Take a caffeine pill OR how about the 10 (calorie) Dr. Pepper or a Diet Dr. Pepper? (since Dr. Pepper is your choice)
  • ^^this^^ it's just so nice of them but I too say no thanks but thanks for offering, it looks yummy... or something like that. If they were hammering at me that I must then I get ticked although at that point I pull out the diabetes card :) stops them right away!
  • The only thing unhealthy is YOUR choices! You can go to ANY fast food place and make very healthy choices but you'd rather see them out of work, with no income because you cannot make good choices AND 'these workers' are no different than YOU... the pay rent, lights, car and all other life expenses JUST LIKE housekeepers,…
  • Yep your weight, height and age even sex matter for calories burned. personally I google what I am doing, and go with the common answer via respectable organizations like medical links. I go with those numbers, right or wrong they are MY numbers and I stick with them, for me it's how much I have burnt, and gives me numbers…
  • Sounds like your family isn't real good for you, maybe you can find a way to live away from them? My bigger concern/question is why does your dad say: "no offense but you throw up all the time" are you throwing up to reduce calories? If you are Bulimic you need to get some help and it is easy to fall into that condition…
  • They sell ankle braces at most drugstores and Wal-Mart and K-Mart too that will help support and protect your ankles. You can cut back, every other day or just go for shorter time... if you stop for more than a couple days you'll go through it again until you lose more weight. walk on the road (pavement) when you can…
  • wondering the same!
  • Goulash is more a winter meal but works, it's elbow macaroni with a spaghetti sauce (you can use actual spaghetti sauce) typically hamburger some use ground sausage or both with onions, bell peppers and some add grated cheese and/or black olives both of which are optional. pulled pork or even more budget friendly is pulled…
  • Well like some said, maybe you're starting out too low, you might be a person who has to work their way to it. If you are on 1200 up it to 1400/1500 for a bit. What I try to do is log in my dinner calories first thing in the morning, and that tells me how many calories I have left for the day so then I THINK about what I…
  • The only problem is the caffeine, it dehydrates your body so kind of counterproductive to the purpose of drinking water to keep you hydrated. I count my tea as tea even the caffeine free. I do use a water flavor that is 'tea' to jazz up my ice water sometimes.
  • Eating out I have two rules, one get the kids meal if that is my option and if not then I save half, right away I ask for a to-go container before I take a bite, then I put 1/2 in there and save it for dinner or next days lunch! I also try to know what the places I go often offer and I have in my mind what choices I can…
  • Vegas no, not for kids... Reno is more set up for families with the Circus Circus but still not somewhere I'd plan for the family vacation.
  • It feels great! and it is motivating me to go harder towards that finish line... which is sadly a long way away still but I will make it! first my undies were falling off, so had to go buy smaller... well then those smaller jean Capri's (couldn't get past my thighs) I bought on clearance with hope to someday wear them -…
  • I'm sorry this has happened to you... we all get a 'wake up call' maybe this was yours? Start by dieting, watching what you eat and how much that is where you start to lose. I pretty much eat 'normal' foods, just smaller portions or actually real serving sizes. I do avoid candy and chips and those sort of things though.…
  • It's good you will be seeing your Dr. tomorrow. I do not think you are feeling unwell from detoxing/withdrawing... losing your voice would not fall into that category.
  • well since your dairy is closed I can't say what you could change... BUT how do YOU know you are not getting enough protein? do you know for your age and body how much protein you should be getting each day?
  • If your picture is current and your food diary is true... the answer is simple ----you do not eat enough... you are way too close to goal to eat so little, your body is telling you if you really want to be healthy feed it! Under eating can hurt you as much and often more than over eating...
  • WATER... find a pool and use it! You can work out in it and not have any pain... it's how I started and still what I do and trust me if I can do it YOU can too! So if you don't have one at your home to use, then find the YMCA or Public pool... heck even the lake! Swim laps, jog in the water, aerobics' in the water, jumping…
  • Very good... this is one super good good-bye forever! Congrats you are doing GREAT!!!
  • It is not so much the calories but this (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/expert-answers/cholesterol/faq-20058468) "One large egg has about 186 mg of cholesterol — all of which is found in the yolk. Therefore, if you eat an egg on a given day, it's important to limit other sources of…
  • This... (most often said by the 'experts' here too) a pound of muscle on a scale, a pound of fat on the scale... HELLO a pound is a pound! It will look different but it will make the scale perfectly balanced!
  • yep I agree with this... never go to bed hungry, plan an evening snack. Your body continues to burn calories even when you are sleeping so give it fuel for that! I get hungry in between meals, that IS normal and it feels great once you get use to it AND have planned your meals so you don't grab and eat more than your…
