Somehow, I thought i was the only one experiencing chafing. I didn't even know that it was called "chub rub" ...(mildly offensive). I just ordered the Bandelettes and I'm so pumped. I had a "why didn't i think of that" moment just now. Now i can wear dresses.....!

when i get like that, i have a cup of black tea with milk and splenda. it helps me.

Navel Oranges are my fave!

My small change was water. I was drinking 2 liters of water every day and then I added another liter. It took me 3 weighins to notice the scale move and when I added more water last week, I lost 3 pounds! YAYYY!

Thanks! I have been weighing my food on a digital scale and i do not have a HRM so i am just doing the calculations about cals burned by an online calculator based on my weight and distance, age, and such. I found a HRM at Costco ... maybe I should pick it up.

:-) .... ya, its just a little confusing. Which is more accurate? I am gonna go with the scale i think.

Often times, I look at the food that I have weighed on my digital scale and thought..."that looks like way more than 2/3 of a cup" Thoughts? Is it better to measure using a measuring cup, or weigh the food on a scale?

I agree with everyone. I use them as a special treat and dont feel guilty when I do. If i could not eat yummie treats, I may feel deprived or like i'm not having fun.

good point! It is very important to set rewards when you meet goals. I make very tiny goals and then reward myself often.

welcome! i love this site/app and find it helpful

Interesting....i'd like to tkae that questionnaire to see where I shoule be. Where would I find it? :blushing:

Oh *whew* I feel so much better now, knowing that other go over in protien too. I wont worry about it then either. Thanks everyone!

These things happen.....dont worry because it might discourage you to stop your program. Everyone is right, start over today.

I'm thinking maybe your shoes need replacing. Also, downhill running can make the shins hurt because of the slapping motion that the foot makes. Just a thought <3

How many calories, protien are they? Im going to do the sprouting thing, they look nummie. Are they in the database?

I'm new too! So far so good. Its a great place!
