  • I am not doing the transformation program because i believe healthy eating is the way to go, but i have been recommended to try the Usana Reset to help resent my glycemic levels and bust sugar and carb cravings. How did you feel after your 5 days was over?

  • I just got my vivosmartHR last night and although i am still battling some of its sensitivity, I am really liking it! I have a considerable amount of weight to do it and battling a hormonal imbalance so i thought being able to access my HR might help me make my workouts more effective! feel free to add me I love walking,…
  • Hi guys, I just bought mine last night and i am concerned because either its tracking my resting heart rate really high or i am going to die when i work out LOL. Also it tracks my flights of stairs when i haven't done any stairs. For example I have been sitting at my computer this morning trying to figure out my stupid…
  • You need to eat your exercise calories or you are putting your body into starvation mode. Also a cheat day should never ever be that much!
  • Hey There, I know where you are coming from, my husband was out of work for a year and I was working and going to school. Now I have been laid off so we are back to 1 income again! Dependent on where you are, shop at the bargain shopping store. For example here in vancouver we have No frills it is the stripped to the…
  • You must eat your workout calories if you want to keep losing the weight! if you do not eat them you are putting your body into starvation mode. you will not lose this way. I know it sounds counter intuitive but it works, just up your calories and you will see the weight start coming off again!
  • exactly...its taken me a while to get to this point...but diets fail EVERY SINGLE TIME, smart healthy life long lifestyle changes are what work and stay working! Eat the things you can sustain life long changes with and move as much as you can. Write it all down and watch what happens, make adjustments as necessary.
  • Okay here goes...and of course the first day my husband I and are going to the fair! EEEK! Good thing I will be able to record at least 4 or 5 hours of walking!! Starting Weight - 255 Phase 1 Goal - 15 pounds Phase 2 Goal - 15 pounds Phase 3 Goal - 15 pounds Phase 4 Goal - 15 pounds End Weight - 195 or less!! If I can kill…
  • my plan is to get logging everyday even when its a bad day and to get moving somehow every day. I am thinking 2 days a week aquafit? 2 days at the gym and 3 days extra walking?
  • Im in on Sept 1 - I am fine posting once a month or each week...I track each week anyway! Pom - I understand why you don't want to post your starting weight but I sure hope you know you can be comfortable with us here!
  • Hey Guys, Suzanne - Im just like you! I totally struggle with emotional eating too! Booh - I am especially bad at late night too! I lost 20 pounds last year....took me only 7 months to gain it all back and I feel awful!!!!!! I am getting my career, education, family and life in gear and I just can't seem to kill this! So I…

  • Well I just wrote an awesome post with 6 great links and it all went away....bummer! There are tons of great resources on the web but there are a few that I like... Cook once and eat for 5 days, weight watchers version - http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=11731&sc=3022 If you have a nice…
  • No they don't want you to eat less than 1200 calories...they want you to reset your MFP setting to your current weight, with a smaller goal so that you get more calories to eat each day. If you don't want to mess with your settings, do some google searches on Cycling and try that. I had a 5 month plateau and by eating more…
  • This is exactly how I feel! Since I know what healthy eating is and what a reasonable portion is there was no point in paying WW to tell me to "lather rinse repeat" no ****...thats what they told us at my first and last meeting back LMAO! I love the community here and I don't have to rush around on my lunch break to make a…
  • MMM...me too!!! Nothing like a huge pile of steamed veggies with a nicely done steak or piece of fresh Mahi!!
  • I got my husband to join with me this time, and we threw out (or donated) everything in our cupboards, fridge and freezer that was not fresh, whole foods/Grains, low fat or diet friendly! This will make it way easier since we are both on the same page now!
  • I came here after not losing weight on the new plan! It makes sense too since all food has calories...even veggies and especially fruit....so it seems dumb to make them free! beisdes you can get all the same tools (and more) here for free!
  • I tell them I am counting calories! They are usually pretty good about it!
  • Good for you! Very inspiring.
  • My doctor doesn't recommend weighing during your period! He says its temporary fluid gain and the occasional fluctuation maybe because of worse snacking (for those of us who have a hard time controlling cravings during this time!!). They have me kick up the workout if i find myself snacking more and then weigh and measure…
  • OMG do you know how many times I have had to tell my husband this!! Its a real hassle to try and get him to shoot from above!
  • Here is an awesome article my nutritionist sent to me when we talked about this.. http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=605 Hope that helps
  • Love this and make it in a Ziploc steamer bag - then freeze for up to two weeks Steamed Greek Chicken and potatoes (321 calories) 1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces 3 small potatoes, quartered and thinly sliced (about 1 cup) 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (goat or Sheep) 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 1…
  • its like a train wreck...you can't stop watching but its horrible!! I can't stand how whiny these girls are, I am all for people being happy with themselves but if you say your confident and love yourself....then be confident and love yourself. Big doesn't mean unhealthy all the time. I would love to see some of these…
  • I would have to disagree with this...because my team of doctors have little to do with my desires...they are really about kicking my *kitten* and making me do it slow and right!
