I met my fiance on match.com three years ago. I, too, went on some weird dates with some losers before I met him, but it was totally worth it! :)

Can you tell me how to log the calories i burned reading that and whether or not i need to eat them back?

I try to eat fairly low carb and have been having some luck finding new recipes lately. Pizza made on a cauliflower crust is surprisingly tasty! I started using Spring Roll wrappers to make my tacos and other wraps and stuff. You can really fill them with almost anything. They are very low in carbs and calories and if you…

I just bought the Kashi go Lean cereal yesterday. With a little milk and packet of splenda it wasn't bad!

Also... On wheat toast or a bagel thin with a slice of cheese With corn chips - espcially doritos (only on cheat days) Butter and peanut butter sandwiches (YUM!) - again only on cheat days... On Celery On a spoon Mixed in with my scrambled egg whites. Between two ritz crackers and then covered in chocolate (only on special…

I met my fiance on match.com. I'm not going to lie, i had some "interesting" dates before I found him, but it is very possible to find love! :)

http://www.crankyfitness.com/2007/07/first-time-at-gym-how-not-to-make-*kitten*.html http://exercise.about.com/od/exerciseworkouts/u/workouts.htm Make sure you do both cardio and strength training. The gym can be kind of intimidating at first, but remember everyone is there for the same basic reasons, and the majority…

The phrase, "I know, right?" And overuse of the word literally!!!!

Another option, if you can't do pushups on your knees is a "wall push up" You just stand arms length from the wall, put your arms straight out in front of you, palms on the wall, and lean in and then push yourself back out. Once you can do those successfully for the full 30 seconds, you could move on to see how many knee…

You may not be eating enough calories. If you don't, your body will go into starvation mode and will shut down your metabolism, causing you to hold on to everything that you eat. You HAVE to eat at least the 1200 calories every day. And, with the amount of exercise that you are doing, you may need even more than that.

I break mine down pretty much the same as you, as that's what my trainers (i've had 4) have all had me do. I had great success when i stuck with it really well. Leg days, though, I do 7 to 8 different exercises and don't do any cardio.

My friend had that problem and her doctor said she wasn't getting enough protein. She started drinking a protein shake that also has a bunch of viatmins in it that he prescribed and her hair is coming back.

A good, healthy goal is to lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week. You could lose more than that at first, but it will eventually level off. So, if you think of it that way, there is a potential to lose at least 15 to 30 pounds by the end of May.

You could move into it gradually... Start with two days a week (like Tuesday and Thursday) when you absolutely will not eat anything sugary. It's easier to not eat it when you know that the next day you can have a little bit of chocolate. Do that for a couple weeks and then add another day and another until you don't even…

No processed foods, no white carbs (except on cheat day), M-F, I have 1495 calories to work with. M-W, 60% are from Protein and 35% from carbs, with 5% left over for "residual fats". Th-F, 35% from fat and 5% for residual carbs. On Th-F, I can have all the fibrous veggies I want, though, and they don't count in the totals.…

I buy regular eggs and separate them (it's cheaper). I have 8 egg whites every morning for breakfast. I always scramble them and then usualy add some Taco Bell hot sauce (it's my favorite of all the ones i've tried) or, occasionally, a slice of 2% cheese.

HI! I am a member of a gym, and I try to get there 5 times a week. My favorite thing to do is lift weights. I tried to enjoy running, but it turns out, I can't get past hating it. :) I still do it occasionally, in intervals on my long cardio days, but usually do the stairmill after lifting most days.

Hi! My name is Sara. I live in Omaha. Grew up in Bennington, went to Hastings for college. Nice to meet everyone. :)

M-W i have a packet of original oatmeal made with water and some splenda and 8 scrambled egg whites with hot sauce. Th-F i have 8 egg whites and one whole egg scrambled with hot sauce. Weekends vary.

When i first started working with trainers at the gym, more than one told me that they would like to throw out all of the ellipticals. According to them, they do not give as good of a workout as any of the other cardio equipment. Of course, if it was up to them, the only cardio equipment that would be in the gym is the…

Most gyms are actually not that scary at all. I used to be worried that I would walk in and be judged and laughed at and be the most out of shape person there. Turns out, none of that is true! Everybody is there, basically for the same purpose, and I have actually made some very good friends at the gym, and there are a lot…

For carbs and proteins, take the number of calories you're supposed to eat in the day and multiply by .40 and then divide that by 4. That total should be the number of grams of carbs and protein you need in a day. If you divide that by the number of meals you eat (should be 5 to 6), you can figure out how many you need per…

Have you talked to your doctor about it? There may be an underlying medical issue...

Bacardi and Diet is a good one. Not too many calories or carbs. Or diet red bull and Vodka. Those are my two go-to diet drinks. As for the cupcake - if it's going to be a slippery slope, better to just say no, altogether. :) Good Luck! :)

This is my fourth day without a Diet Pepsi. I had headaches the first day, but have been doing ok since. I usually have a glass of water with MiO flavoring in it and then plain water the rest of the day. It's working out so far. :) Good luck to you! You can do this!!

I always heard that if it's above the neck, you're still ok to exercise. If it's below (i.e. chest cold, bronchitis), you should rest until it gets better.

I actually can handle water sometimes. I also like the MiO fruit punch.

It's my first day. I've given it up before - for like 6 years, or so, actually, but then, one day at work, I thought I could have just one... That "one" has gone from a 12 oz can to a couple 55 ounce fountain drinks/day! So, today, I am starting over at day 1. So far, so good. I can feel a bit of a headache coming on,…

Getting extra protein and fiber are absolutely ok! I just looked at your diary, and what i noticed, at least for the last few days, is that most of your fat is coming from Peanut Butter and Almonds, which is actually "good" fat. I wouldn't worry about going over by a couple grams, if it's that, and not ho-ho's. :) Keep up…
