Let the choir say Amen and Amen!

I have noticed that when I don't eat back the calories i end up feeling like crap. Low energy, low motivation, can't work out everyday, and even have a hard time focus at work. Now fast foward to me maintaing a net caloric intake of 1200 and I definitely notice a sustained increase in energy. Before, it was IF i workout,…

Xbox One fitness. There is something for everyone and the feedback keeps me at max effort throughout with a surprisingly good calorie burn. Definitely a great pick if you need a quick 10-30 min total body workout Fair warning the HRM offered on Xbone isn't great and calories burned is a fraction of what Polar HRM says. So…

The 10 minute trainers and P90X. I actally have the P90X dvds and fitness offers great feedback on them. Maybe I will actually finish this time:wink:

Hi All! I am Delicia and am a software engineer and wantrepreneur...at least until launch. My super power??? I am REALLY good at reading body language and verbal indicators which translates to being (DONT TRY THIS AT HOME) calm down a pissed off pit bull without getting bitten or even more usefull recongnizing BS at work…

From what I was told when I was in the military, it really depends on your body type. If you are already a lean person, then you should probably eat a light meal so that your body has some energy store. But if you aren't lean, then you have your energy store already. I tend to carry mine in my hips and thighs :wink: . I…

My understanding is that artificial sweeteners can actually negatively affect your weight loss. The fact that you taste something sweet will cause the insulin to start pumping. And more insulin leads more weight and more cravings. I got this info from Dr Oz. Since seeing the episode, if i have tea w/ sweeter, then i will…

They are soooo good. I have frozen them and the heated them later and they still taste great, no funny textures. Very worth the 10-15 bucks..

Hmm...then maybe its really not that bad calorie and fat wise...since pollock is a white fish...and there are only 3 mediums sized shrimp. I will keep digging. If i come up with a good number, I will post it, in case anyone else has the same question.

Thanks, I knew that number sounded really low.

I am a sugar addict too. The pull is especially strong when I am stressed. When I am stressed i more or less forget to eat, then when i remember the first thing i reach for is sugar, sugar, with a little sugar sprinkled on top. I really had to wean my self off of it. starting w/ simple stuff like... making my coffee w half…

Chica, you rock! I recently started my weight-loss journey. I promise, the next time I am tempted by the Krispy Kreme hot doughnut sign, I will remember seeing that you made it. I wont wish you luck, on the last 21. I will just give you congrats ahead of time. Way to go! Just wow. :glasses:

Well, I would say to your roommate, If i died tomorrow, I would die knowing that i did everything i could to reach my dreams/goals. And that for me is living life to the fullest. Because really, if I ever considered eating chicken a part of living life to the fullest, I would have bigger issues. Just my 2 cents worth.

I really think that depends on the amount of body fat that you have. For example, someone with more than 30% body fat has less to worry about, than some one at a lean 10%. Especially for a female. If you want to stick with eating below your BMR, I would just try to make sure i could counter-balance any negative affects as…

I go for a wrap. I use the Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla. I love these because they only have 71 calories, have about 46% of your daily fiber, and most importantly doesn't taste and have the texture of cardboard. I will use Spring Greens or Spinach and some lean protein (e.g., fish, grilled chicken)…

Thanks ladies!
