Write in a journal or draw a picture. Do some thing to get what ever you are thinking about out of your head?

That is probably based on home much you said you were working out. Eat less work out less.

What is MFP telling you to do?

I eat a homemade protein bar for breakfast.

I think it depends on where you are starting from and how much your willing to work.

Just google what flavors your like in your protien bars. I have tried the one above. A pumpkin one which is like a desert. And a banana chocolate one which is yummy. All of them had less sugar and were cheaper then buying them.

I have made these several times. I use a sugar free soy protein from GNC (10.00/ tub) regular peanut butter and almonds about 300 calories. I think they are pretty good. This last time I added more apple sauce which made them moister. http://www.ehow.com/how_5598696_make-high-protein-granola-bars.html How to Make Low…

There is another topic right about this same thing. Well its about the accuracy of the BMI index. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/244497-still-overweight-by-bmi-standards Personally I think that it depends on how fit you are.

I eased myself into it 2 days breakday 3 days break day 4 days breakday. I am on 5 days this week. It does get easier. Lower your intensity smaller jumps/kicks

My advice -Go to a Quick Care facility if it does not feel right to you.

Pomegranete (SP) Green Tea delicious and no sweetener needed.

A few years ago I weighted ( 125- working out all day and sick) My ribs were showing and my hip bones stuck out. Not Healthy even though it was in my "Healthy" range. 135 looks good on me and I feel good but it is at the high range of my "healthy"

I think it is easier to drink cold dont know why. Probably because there is less actual coffee while more milk and flavorings. In high school I wasnt much of a coffee drinker. My friend told me her way to ease into coffee drinking. From easiest to drink to black. Fraps (blended coffee drinks) Iced Lattes (with flavors) Hot…

I plan what I eat ahead of time. That with planned snacks. I eat less and but more healthy food.

Day 2 Level 2 done. I totally agree. I am getting better at all the plank stuff which is good. I feel it more in my upper back and chest than anywhere else.

Squash any kind. I like broccoli. Corn on the cob or off.

I notice it in your face. You look beautiful. Keep up the hard work.

All the plank stuff was murder last night. I dont know if I am the only one. I probably could have kept up with the abs and cardio if I could hold the stupid plank. Well It has to get easier. My boyfriend is doing it with me and he thought that is was easier than level one. He is a crazy person.

Dont worry too much it could be anything? Waste that hasnt been flushed yet...

Dried Fruits, Rice Cakes, Popcorn- Light butter, Homemade granola bars.

popcorn rice cakes (they can be higher in sodium but taste good)

Im not a breakfast person either. Thats why I liked the protein bars to start with but when I got started on this site I realized how much sugar was in them.

If you want a quick meal option I would consider making your own meal bars. You can adjust how much sugar you want in it and I think they taste better. I make a recipe that is loaded with fiber and nuts and I use a soy sugar free protein. It has actually saved me money.

I had to take a second look. You look like a completely different person.

I eat a kit kat. Once and a while is not going to hurt. I just make sure I fit it into my calories for the day.

I am starting level 2 today any advise?

I plan out either the day before or morning what I have going to eat each day. I focus around proteins. They help keep you full longer and I plan in snacks. Breakfast - 7 maybe fruit ( I am not a morning person but sometimes when I get up I feel shaky, the fruit gives me a healthy sugar jump.) Mid-Morning Snack- 10 Protien…

This is super easy and I think it taste pretty good. It is a packet of the itailian season, 1/2 cup of parmesean cheese. Mix that together ( I use a ziplock bag) Put in 4 (larger chicken breasts) and shake it up so that the breast are coated. Bake in the oven until done.

I eat regular food as well. One thing that I have noticed someone suggested is the protien bar snacks. I did that for a while but they are really expensive plus contain alot of sugar. I have begun making my own protein bar/ granola bar snack. Way cheaper and you can cut back on sugar alot.

Day 1 of Level 2 today. I am kind of nervous. What are your thoughts about it?
