  • Here's what I do. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but when I'm out with friends and we are grabbing drinks, either stick to light beer or if you want the hard stuff go for a Vodka Tonic or Gin & Tonic. Tonic is a form of water, which will help with hydration throughout the night and a minimal hang over. This…
  • Ok, taking metabolism out of the picture for a quick second - aren't we all here trying to maintain a healthier lifestyle? Whether you'd want to debate about your metabolism or not, being healthy should be priority. Although there are studies and research and all types of debate on increasing the speed of your metabolism…
  • That's nice. Your regimen seems to be working for you as my regimen is working for me. So, agree to disagree :smile: :wink:
  • Hello all! I've lost a total of 37 lbs with the help of MyFitnessPal throughout the years (joined in 2011) and now I'm just trying to lose those last few pesky lbs to be at my goal weight. Feel free to add me as I am logging every day with food, exercises and posts. Best of luck to everyone out there! :flowerforyou:
  • Agree to disagree I guess, I've seen significant results with this so I'm sticking to it. :)
  • Hi Jacwhite22, Well to be more specific, it's recommended to eat starchy foods (i.e. potatoes, brown rice) after you do resistance training, not so much as cardio or low physical activity days. The starches help you build muscle following a workout, and since resistance training is geared toward sculpting your…
  • 2 a days!! But to keep the burn lasting you have to fuel your body after your workout too. Good luck!
  • Hi MrsMarkt2B! Congrats on deciding to eat clean :) it's a lifestyle change but it's worth it. So for the substituting, I think it would be fine to do that, you really want starches after you workout so the sweet potato isn't absolutely necessary. It's a very good meal plan though, I'd like to go by it some day for myself.…
  • You look amazing! Great job, keep it up!!
  • I'm a 4 as well in jeans but I'd also like to be a 2. Keep it up!! :-)
  • I really believe it depends on what your ultimate goal would be. For example, if all you care about is weight loss, than as long as you are meeting your calorie requirements than you can do just that. BUT - if you are trying to create a healthier lifestyle for yourself (not just dieting) than eating clean is an absolute…
  • Feel free to check mine out! :-)
  • Hi Sie Sie, After reviewing your diary for the pass week, I've noticed how you haven't been getting your 3 squares in. Not sure if thats from forgetting or if you really arent having dinner or breakfast, but be mindful that nutrition plays a major role in weight loss, and you dont want to be malnourished. I've been in your…
  • After going to the gym for years, I've realized how gyms are just crawling with germs everywhere you turn! I feel I need to wipe down my machine before and after use. It's so gross when someone doesnt wipe down their machine, especially on a cardio machine. After all, it is a health/fitness center so lets keep them healthy!

  • Hi my name is Jesyka and I'm addicted to: jarlsberg cheese chocolate Netflix sushi (Yum!) Ok, I'm getting hungry now =T lol
  • Ok, I agree with pretty much everyone here. I'm at the same cals a day as you are, and have been strongly suggested to eat up those exercise calories!! It helps build muscle, and if you are losing a small amount like 10 lbs, you would want to tone up so those muscles are essential. Good luck! :wink:
  • I didn't even know people did that! Well, if that's how it is than I wouldn't think they would be a good friend anyway. Keep your head up, I'm always accepting friends! :-)
  • Two types of genres get me going: Dance and Rock. Dance has the fast beats so it makes me feel like getting up and dancing and Rock because it's loud and gets me in training mode which is great for running! So I believe someone said Pitbull which is a great artist for dance music and for rock I LOVE My Chemical Romance,…
  • I love this! This is so very true! Thanks for the motivation :-)
  • Running outside gives you a better advantage because of natural inclines (unless if you're on a track) and wind resistence. The higher the resistence the more you have to push yourself, which then benefits your muscles and helps you burn more fat/calories. Outside is always the best alternative - but if you have allergies…
  • I've realized when I work out at night (which means after work for me) I feel very refreshed after the work out and it's like a boost to eat the right meal for dinner. The mornings also help me wake up and gives me a kick to get things done. So if you think you can and feel you have the time, do a brisk work out in the AM…
  • I say Go For It!!! Most definitely! You don't want to end up over indulging in something that's loaded in calories if you refrain from satisfying your sweet tooth. The 100 cal snacks are awesome, and if you stay under your calorie limit than even better! I love the skinny cow truffle ice creams after dinner. They are…
  • Hmm, that's a toughy... As much as I am a chicken lover, I'd have to say ground turkey. Like other posts mention, it's much healthier than the ground chicken. You can always seal flavors in with seasonings :happy:
