or four 16 oz glasses.... sounds better that way, too LOL

8 oz equals one cup. yes, that would be a measuring cup size ;)

I looked at your food diary and noticed you had soy sauce... I recently purchased some Bragg's Liquid Aminos, which you can use in place of soy sauce... it tastes great and has 310 mg of protein per 1/2 teaspoon, and 0 calories.

beans are only a "complete" protein if you combine them with a carb like brown rice, quinoa, or pasta. I love Edamame, seeds, nuts, lentils, peas...

I don't do dairy. I have even heard that "fat free" or skim milk can make you gain weight or keep you from losing. Maybe try switching to something different like almond milk, rice milk, or flax milk for a week or two and see if you notice any difference.

i, too, was addicted to sodas, and I quit. now i only drink water. I made up my mind that the six pack in the fridge was my last. when it was gone i was done, and it worked. 3 months later, i don't even miss it! i drink lots of waster, which i used to loathe, but now i love it! set your mind to it and just quit. decide why…

"wedding tackle" lololol!!! that's a new term for me... who knows, maybe I've been living under a rock for to long, but this made me laugh til I cried!

Hiii, Mike!! lol good luck meeting your weight-loss goals!

woo-hoo!!! Congrats!! :D

That's excellent!! Great work!!!

consider this a "lifestyle change" instead of a diet... it isn't reasonable to think that you will never have occasions where you eat something unhealthy. BUT it may be different for others, but I find when I eat unhealthy foods I start getting cravings and temptations for DAYS after that make it harder for me to get back…

Difficult to answer. I had a very negative husband and we're divorced now :-x OTOH, I just happened to see a video yesterday on dealing with negative people in our lives. I hope it helps, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWKNGVRlgdk&feature=share

From my understanding one weekend could set you back as much as two weeks worth of work... if that is worth it for you, then go for it. Personally, I would hate to lose that two weeks... but that's just me ;)

I have coffee everymorning in my Shakeology. I love it!

you're welcome! I bought it for a lot more a while back, read it and loved it!

1. Stop being a baby and do it already! 2. Is that all you've got? Lift your legs higher!! 3. Do what?! Ok, my hips just don't move like that! 4. hmm, let me try... I think I got it... 5. Sheesh, this is why I work out at home! Would hate someone to see me right now! 6. Uh-oh, I think the kids are going to fall through the…

Two wrongs don't make a right. If you are feeling guilty about eating McD's just think about how much more guilt you will feel for missing your workout, too. Tell yourself you are going to burn off all of the fat and calories that you consumed last night and give it your all! Go for it, you deserve it!!

i'll post later :)

I am currently using and in love with the new FLAX MILK, available at Wal-mart (of all places)! I love it in my shakes!!!

Haven't tried it, but have been wanting to. It is encouraging to hear that you have so much energy... I could definitely use some of that! Would love to know how much you lose!

Yeah, I saw the NYT article... awesome!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Shakeology!! I have been drinking it everyday for over a month now. I do not crave anything anymore... well, except for my Shakeology, LOL!! I used to be addicted to coca-cola... HAD to have it... and chocolate.... but I no longer crave those things, in fact I do not have any unhealthy cravings. I would…

I must say, few posts actually make me want to cry, but this one did... for you? for me? for humanity?? Idk, but I do know that no one should be spoken to that way! I hope that you are able to toss the emotions that that stirred up out with the trash along with him!! I hope that you will find the motivation and…

**Honestly**?? I agree with everyone else. I don't think you need to lose any more weight. I am 5'3" and 105 is my goal... idk if 3" makes that much of a difference, but maybe when I get to about 115 or 110 I'll also be brave enough to post pics and ask for honest criticism ;) But I also agree with those who talk about…

it is best not to eat 3 hours before you go to bed. if you are hungry before bed just have a protein shake.

naturally I love getting compliments, who doesn't? Not only does it feed my wounded ego (from years of being over-weight) and boost my self-confidence, it shows that the effort I am putting into my fitness is visibly paying off... i often have a hard time judging subjectively. But, I hate it when the compliments are…

Buffy Churchill... lol

I sent my address to you, did you receive it?

I would love them!!!
