I'm sorry this happened to you - how rude!! Just use it as fuel for your next workout ! :)

Try to decide if you are really hungry - or just working from emotions - you're bored, stressed, tired. Make sure you are eating a balanced diet and are not going too low on your calories. If your weight has changed recently, or you are more active, re-evaluate your caloric needs. If your stomach is really growling - don't…

Cutting out/down on carbs in my opinion, is a big no-no - especially if you are exercising. I would reccomend reading the book "Eat Your Way to Happiness" by Elizabeth Somer. This book focuses (as its title suggests) on foods relationship to your mood/cravings. She also has another book called Food & Mood. I tried…

Thanks guys! Well, that brings me to another question - should my goal be to increase speed or should I leave it the same throughout the program? I was thinking of increasing it slightly (say .1 mile) each time, but I don't know if that would be too much on my body since I am new to running anyway.

I have made my food diary public if anyone wants to take a look. To answer your ?s so far, I am drinking plenty of water, and am eating all my exercise calories. Today though, it was set for me to eat about 1300, and even after eating my 'dog walking' calories, I still felt hungry and went over.…

Thank you stroutman! I haven't received a message from you yet.. but I was wondering, when I am doing machines at the gym, they instruct us to do 8-12 reps (one set) with momentary muscular failure. When I do something like free weights, I do sets of reps. Does this sound right?

Iceprincess, you're right in that the buns and legs kind of go hand and hand, but for the buns workout I am doing more isolated exercises. The same goes with the legs...machines to work the quads, hamstrings, calf raises, etc. I guess I am just confused because I read that in many ways a split routine is better, because it…

I have no idea, but I get this sometimes too. I got it for a little while on the elliptical machine, but it eventually went away. Now I have switched to a different type of machine and am noticing it again. I too, only get it one foot, the left usually. It might have something to do with your shoes, as borkbork suggested.

A book I am currently reading talks a lot about sugars, and says that unless you have health problems that require you to monitor all sugars, ADDED sugars are what you need to worry about, NOT the sugars in things like fruit and milk. I was happy to read this because I eat a ton of fruit and my sugar is always way high too.

Thanks guys.. this will hopefully just be a temporary stage.. I ended up going to the gym tonight (Friday's normally not a gym day), so I feel a bit better. I just had a salad and am about to have a baked sweet potato. :)

hi! I just bought one fairly recently and so far have no complaints. it works great, even transmits my heart rate to the display on the machine at the gym. I thought it was fairly easy to figure out and set up... I also really like how you can upload your workouts to your computer. I do it wirelessly and have some problems…

You are looking great!! Congratulations!! :happy: Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks guys, as always, for your responses. Tea is a great recommendation, but unfortunately I am not a huge tea fan :-/ (except chai). Do you all know any good ready to drink teas/instant teas? Or is there such a thing? I also hadn't considered adding anything else to my water (ginger, cucumbers), so those are nice ideas.…

I used to live off Frosted Mini Wheats.....soo good! I also love Fruity Pebbles, and other cereals like Blueberry Morning, Cranberry Almond Crunch, etc. But I can happily say I haven't bought any of those in awhile. I like Kashi Go Lean crunch. The regular Go Lean is actually best, it has quite a bit of fiber and protein…

Well, I looked at a container of plain organic yogurt, and it had 11g of sugar (from just the milk). I would assume that the fruit juices in Wallaby also add a minimal amount of sugar, so perhaps more like 10g comes from added sugar? That's still not very good, but better than 22g. I think I'll still eat them, but just cut…

Hey guys! Wow, thanks so much for your quick responses so far! :) I really appreciate it! :happy: Emily, I took the metabolic test (which was very helpful by the way) , and got 'balanced oxidizer'. It reccomended the 40/30/30% ratio with carbs, fat, and protein - but I just checked and MFP has me set at 55% carbs, and I…

Hi! I've wondered this before, too, and found the following website: http://www.dietitian.com/calcbody.php The whole website actually has a lot of great tools, but this one is particularly helpful.
