  • Yes you are burning more calories doing the same exercise as a 150 lb friend. If they input they same exercise they would get a different #. Your HRM should be monitoring your heart rate which when coupled with your height and weight can calculate your calories burned. Are you feeling your heart rate elevated when your…

  • You can make scramble egg muffins. Whisk together eggs/ egg whites some veggies, mushrooms, spinach, onions, peppers, toss in some bacon or turkey bacon chopped. Pour into muffin tin and bake at 350 for 10-15 min I think? Can't remember the time it's been awhile but you can tell by looking when the eggs are cooked. Then…

  • Don't beat yourself up. Losing weight is hard and if you don't take in enough then your body will crave food and then you'll binge. You need to round things out eat every few hours 3 things:, a small carb like fruit or breads about the size of your fist, a lean protein, about the size of your palm, egg whites, cheese…

  • That's exactly my same thought. Where's the fruits and veg? You'll still get carbs from fruit but less than from breads etc. and I've found too many carbs just sets me up for sugar craving. Plus you need the nutrients from a variety of colors. Eat the rainbow (just not the skittles kind ;)

  • I'm curious what does "clean meats" mean? We eat a lot of big salads with a small chicken tenderloin and a half a potatoe on the side. We also do veggie tacos, I cook up zucchini, onions, carrots, broccoli all diced with taco type seasoning and then put it in a warm corn shell with traditional toppings. Or lean ground…

  • Ha ha ok I love this! That's exactly how I feel. I can't imagine getting up that early but I'm really thinking to get serious it's what I'm gonna have to do. I've lost 50 through walking and eating right now I've got another 50 to go. So I'm gonna find some 10 min programs to follow, do at least 1 before I go to work and…

  • Love the 10 min idea. I do have chunks of time I can use better!

  • I like leftover dinner some days. I make enough so I can have it again the next day and I pack it up before I serve the family. This summer I've been taking sandwiches, I found a yummy pocket bread, Italian herb flavor, that didn't need any mayo or dressing and filled them with fresh crisp veggies and a slice of turkey, a…
