One of the hardest things to do while travelling is eating healthy. However, there's no reason to abandon all hope when you have to go out to eat. Make healthy decisions and don't eat everything on your plate just because it's there. Sandwich shop type restaurants (subway, etc...) are your friend. IF you don't eat a plate…

Yeah, his name is Rich Ellerson. It's Ken Niumatalolo in the Navy and Troy Calhoun in the Airforce... No one else makes anything close. Those are the highest paid people in the military.

1,453 calories 197 Carbs (pasta, bread, and a bag of cheetos)

If you change your life style, the number will take care of itself. Don't get too focused on the number.

You're either underestimating your food, over estimating your cardio, or are too impatient. Probably a combination of all three, but the majority likely rests in impatience. You should be changing your life, not a number on the scale.

I lost about 15% of my body weight before anyone really said anything too me. Don't get discouraged. You should be doing this for you and not them anyway.

thanks

It's been a little while, but Taco Bell has their "healthy" menu. A single Fresco chicken burrito has 350 calories. The key to it is to only eat one. It's been enough to fill me up.

Desk Job + kids + no motivation = no time and excuses Slowly but surely the weight starts adding up. Just have to make a conscious decision to make a life style change and not just "go on a diet". A diet implies that at the end you go back to the same bad habits that got you in the mess in the first place. A life style…

I pack a lunch and actually don't like the one day a week our group goes out to eat. So, I'd pick none.

pack your own lunch

I've almost reached my goal twice. I'm just going to set it lower and keep going (I've still got plenty to lose). I've been over 200 lbs since high school. I thought at 190 I would be super skinny. Well, I'm certainly skinnier, but I think the BMI scale isn't so insane anymore. I'm at about 186 lbs and will probably settle…

I think it would be fine. If you had donated blood, I would wait a few days. A blood donation is a pint of blood, four vials is about 40 ml or 0.1 pints. I think you'll be fine.

1 can of Progresso beef pot roast soup. 240 calories and it's pretty tasty.

You can take Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen at the same time. It's killer on the liver, but I had to do it for a few days to get past the caffeine withdraw. They work in different manners so it's not doubling up, but read it's still bad for your liver so don't do it for more than a few days, and don't exceed the recommended…

Keep it up. I know the grind. Hard to wake up early and work out if you're not getting enough sleep. I've got an almost two year old and I have to wake up and work out before work or I don't have time. Best advice is that if you can't manage to get in a work out, just stay extra vigilant on the eating side of the equation.…

I lost about 30 pounds (12.8% body weight) before anyone at the office really said anything about it.

What I would do? Don't go, stay home and cook a well portioned and calorie conscious dinner. Even for special occasions. It's cheaper, healthier, and I find myself a better cook than most restaurant chefs (high class restaurants excluded). The wife and I go out to eat less than once in two weeks. I love cooking so the…

It is in fact possible to drink too much water, but unless you're actually trying to over do it it's highly unlikely. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16614865/ns/us_news-life/t/woman-dies-after-water-drinking-contest/ She drank over 2 gallons of water in short period of time.

Cheers! Three years experience in my field making less than Forbes and CNN says 2010 graduates make!

This is a great point. High cholesterol runs in my family. I had blood work done 6 months ago for a wellness check with my doctor. I was actually just in the process of getting orders for a new set of blood work to make a new appointment. I really just wanted to see how the numbers were coming along. I guess that should be…

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll keep the calorie target where it is until I get down to about the 186 I mentioned. I'll re-evaluate from there. I guess I'll refocus my workout to more strength training (maybe 50/50 cardio / weights) after I finish the insanity program. Because someone asked, when I look in the mirror I…

Work out 300 calories a day and eat 1500. Then you're all set.

I'm on week 3 of month 1. I can't do most of the plank work. I just can't hold my body in plank position for that long, let alone while doing push ups and in/outs. I know the second month is coming and the problems will intensify. But currently my strategy instead of laying on the floor, which seems like a good idea, is to…

I pretty much only eat the Nature Valley Sweet and salty nut bars. Typically I only eat the peanut version. My wife gets them for free, but I've been eating them for breakfast the majority of the week for months and I still like them. They go exceptionally well with a banana actually.

Take 1 day completely off. Maybe some light walking would be ok, but you really need a solid recovery day once a week. I would also make one day oftheweek a half day. A sort of semi-rest day. Try 3 days of hard work, the half day, 2 days of hard work, then the rest day. That's not to say it's the only way, but other…

I know the feeling. You don't have to eat the food. People will harass you a little bit the first couple of times, but they eventually just acknowledge that you're eating better and dont really bother you about it. Go and socialize, but don't eat the bad food.
