Washing my hair every time I got a little sweaty would strip it of all it's natural conditioning (oils). I wash my hair every other day, and I don't wash it anymore than that. I like to think I have healthy hair. After a work out I just cool dry it. It's actually feels really good. I also recommend using a headband when…

The number one girl who does it for me is Lindsey Stirling; Her music is so inspiring. Especially if you like to hike or take walks/jog. Her best songs are "Crystallize", "Transcendence", "All of Me", and "Phantom of the Opera" in my opinion.

I did a bottle and a half of the garcinia cambogia. Did my homework, and bought the right kind. It may have helped me lose some weight, but no more than with diet and exercise, and I was dieting and exercising while I was on it so it probably didn't do much work. I have stopped taking it, and am losing more than when I was…

say you have a calorie goal of 1200 the pizza you like is 200 calories only eat 6 slices of pizza the entire day. 2 slices for breakfast/lunch/dinner 1200\200= 6 It's unhealthy because your body can not perform the best it could if you had put those calories into healthier food options during the day.You'll probably have a…

I am in charge of the food shopping, and more times than not I have to buy fatty this or sugary that. However, I have my own amount of money, and I spend it on the healthy things I like to eat. I merely encourage others around me to eat more fruit and veg less gummy and sweet by setting an example. I am doing a pretty good…

I love pizza too, but I stopped buying it at the store because it just wasn't as good as if I made or ordered it. I suggest if you are intent on losing weight while eating pizza. Only eat pizza for your calories. Sure you'll be unhealthy to boot, but the choice is yours. The second choice being that you just eat it less.…

No, my son will not be "roaming the streets". We live in suburbia, and before that we lived in the country where it's perfectly normal to ride your bike around the block or walk to the neighborhood park as a child (note I didn't mention teenager). I don't why a parents first thought to this would be a situation where you…

I think I've always been a "dieter". Always trying to eat healthy and within my means. It wasn't until I became and alcoholic that landed me rock bottom and over 20 pounds over weight. A whole year of treating my body like crap. When I said enough was enough I looked to a familiar place. MFP. Mostly to keep track of what I…

Apples. I keep them in bowls around the house. When I get hungry I just grab one. I tend to go mosey in the fridge for a long time if I am just looking for anything to snack on, and it usually turns out I grab something bad to fill the void. I put apples out for the kids at first, but I find myself enjoying one every day,…

She is beautiful, and abs are hard work; NOT starvation. I would be proud to have that stomach.

You look amazing. The work is really paying off. I see no saddlebags though !

Weigh-in <3 This is mostly due to the fact I had strep throat, and could barely eat or drink anything for 3-4 days, but I am calling this a win. 06/01/2014- 148.6 Lbs. 06/07/2014- 148.6 Lbs. no change 06/15/2014- 146.6 Lbs. -2 GW: 142.6 !!

I will try that. Thanks to both of you. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. They really helped me ! <3 I've decided to lift my activity level and stop counting everyday jobs as exercise, and I am going to be switching to wheat as well as lower my sodium intake......and kill the cheat day !

I gained weight because I started drinking a liter of vodka/whiskey every two days. I've always eaten normal. This is the first time I've been obese. It's been about a year, and with the drinking I went from a 134 to over 150. My diet was normal, even a little less than previously. My profile is set to sedentary.

So I shouldn't log in my housework as burning extra calories??? Doing nothing but breathing I burn 1200 calories. If I am running around cleaning, cooking, doing dishes, making snacks, doing laundry, sweeping, taking out trash, picking stuff up, and running after the kids from 7am to 9pm, that means I am burning a hell of…

That makes sense. I attempted cutting out white flour before, and my body did feel well oiled. I will have to try it again. More insistant this time; everyone in the house likes white. ;) IDK about the refined sugars. I am not sure what those are. I also agree with Lemurcat. Alcohol has a way of dehydrating me a full -5…

my fluctuation for the first week from day 1 to day 7 was around 2 pounds. That's not a huge fluctuation.This is why I mentioned I was an alcoholic. The first week I was detoxing. It's hard to gage a real weight coming down from drinking 1/2 a liter of vodka and whiskey a day. Plus I was expecting my period soon. I take it…

That makes a lot of sense. Looking at my sodium alone I go way over, and I have had 4 cheat days that added up to about a pound. Thank you. This was very helpful.

I had 2 periods lasting 7 days last month.....doubtful....plus you actually have to have sex more than I do. I measure EVERYTHING from cup to tablespoon

I measure EVERYTHING from cup to tablespoon

weigh in 06/01/2014- 148.6 Lbs. 06/08/2014- 149.6 GW: 142.6 !! A 1 Lb GAIN. I am very upset with myself. I don't see what I am doing wrong.

I think it depends. If it's a cute guy I wouldn't mind a few glances, but even the best looking guy would eventually creep me out if they kept staring at me without trying to start a conversation. Mostly it's being stared at by people in cars and in the backs of trucks I hate more. Cute or not it's distracting and makes me…

That's exactly what I do too. I just wait until I lose more weight. I don't record every week if I am just maintaining. I am up and down too; usually by 3 pounds either way. It's frustrating, and when I am up I get sad. So I just log in the good stuff. I am still losing weight. Just not stressing.

I second !

Why I want to lose weight 1. I want the flabby part of my belly to be like it was before the kids (I know...I'm laughing too) 2. I want to be more attractive 3. I want to be without the double chin 4. To set an example for my kids to be healthy 5. To live longer 6. To look better in clothes 7. To wear size 5's again !…

I'm always looking for new recipes, and I think this is an ingredient I would attempt to play with, but probably not stick to.

TONY CHACHERE'S BAKED TILAPIA: This is by far the easiest recipe, and it's quicker than chicken. Ingredients: Butter (room temp) Tilapia (frozen) Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning 1 Defrost the tilapia by putting it in warm water for about 15 minutes. 2 Get a baking sheet and aluminum foil (non-stick), and cover…
