One of the the things people sometimes forget is the the more you exercise the easier it becomes for your body. SO walking used to burn a bunch of calories but if you do it all the time it your body gets stronger and walking becomes easier and doesn't burn as many calories. That's usually when we switch to a harder…

I have chicken in the crockpot and when it's done i'll be having chicken tacos with cheese, guacamole and green sauce. Yum.

I generally hate traditional breakfast foods so I don't really like breakfast. Today I had a chocolate strawberry protein shake. Optimum Nutrition chocolate powder, almond milk and strawberries. Somedays just a yogurt.

How does that work? I have them too. Are you sure it's not specific to your company and BC/BS? I wouldn't mind a bigger discount on my membership....

My smoothies are usually Optimum Nutrition protein powder, almond milk and a cup of strawberries or other fruit. So it's less the fruit and more disguising the protein powder for me.

I go to a Gold's Gym in So California. $28 a month because i've been there since they opened a few years ago. The average is $40 a month though. Open 5 am - midnight Mon - Fri and 7 am to 9 pm Sat SUn. The only reason the hours aren't longer is because it's attached to the mall. It has tons of equipment, a pool, sauna,…

So Cal, LA County

You could always blend fruit into it.

Yeah, I'm not looking to be able to run the whole thing either. I hate walking, but I'm doing it. I i want one of those cheesy 5k medals to show I can do it dammit! My workouts usually include cardio (bike, swimming) and weights. When I'm behaving well I go to the gym four times a week. Lately I've been slacking and am…

Arggh, expensive shoes. I'm pretty much going to have to cave in and buy better shoes. Plus the repeated stages on the program sound liie a good idea too. Thanks.

I will admit to being more of a biker and swimmer. I'll hit the bike for 45 minutes on a high resistance and rpm's or do an hour doing laps in the pool. I was interested in eventually doing a 5K and mentioned it to my sister, Now she wants to do it with me. Which is awesome motivation, but she's half my weight and will be…

That's a good idea but it won't wok for those of us that have side by side refrigerators. That only works if the freezer's at the top or bottom. :(

Buy snack size bags and separate by serving size.

Looking great!! Good job. :)

You lose weight in the kitchen. But exercise helps you lose weight faster. It also gives you some extra calories to work with so yu can eat a bit more. Plus, working out helps get your body into better shape.

Great job!

Homemade Oreo cereal, whoohoo! They have a Filled Cupcake Oreo out right now that would be pretty delicious like that....

I weigh in all the time, but I only keep track of it once a week. The scales right in front of me in the bathroom so it's a bad habit to weigh in often. I only consider Saturday the day I keep track of. If I go up on my period week but only a little I just don't worry about it. The trend is that it evens out after i'm off.…

I have a 9 or 10 lbs float myself. I just pick a time of day and day of the week and keep track of that. I only worry about the actual number on a monthly basis. As long as I go down in weight every month that's all that matters.

Ouch, 1200 is brutal. If you can pick up some hobbies to keep yourself busy you might not notice how hungry you are. Are you eating filling foods? I know if I eat high calorie stuff i'm way more hungry than if I eat lower cal stuff. Just because I can eat a lot more of the lower calorie packed stuff. I recently learned how…

Go Kings!!!

I do sets of 120 lbs, but I don't know what my max is.

Whoohoo! Great job!

Turkey Chili. I've made it quite a few times. http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/family-pleasing-turkey-chili

Doing great. Keep it up!

These are bad no matter what you do. But, if for whatever reason you decide to take them you do not take them before you work out. The job they do is to raise your heartrate. Raising your heartrate is part of what makes you lose weight. Two of my friends took it to lose weight and the first thing they learned ( after tons…

http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/family-pleasing-turkey-chili I've made this turkey chili several times. I really enjoy it.

I agree. Starting higher and lowering it as you go might be easier to maintain. Either way, good luck!

Cuteness overload. :D

There's a Calvin & Hobbes thread?
