Are you a student, or is it a job you have to get to in the morning? Or getting kids ready for school? If it's your job, I would sit down and have a heart to heart with your boss, tell her/him what your goals are and ask for a little bit of leniency on your arrival time for 2 weeks. Then, instead of just suddenly getting…

I had a girlfriend whose husband had had a vasectomy who got pregnant after she and he had both done an 8 week raw diet thing. I was cracking up because I asked her how, How, HOW did that happen? I thought it had to be because of the weight loss, or something they were eating ... but no ... she said he couldn't keep his…

When I get the 3:00 sugar/choco craving ... I blend up 2 Tbsp of vanilla lowfat yogurt, 1/2 c of coffee and a tsp of hershey syrup with ice. Makes an 8 oz cup that stops the craving, fills me up, and gets me through to dinner without reaching for the kids' after school snacks. LOVE this topic!

Sweet potatoes go nicely with pork. I would peel and cube them, toss with olive oil and a little sea salt, garlic powder and rosemary. Pre steam in the microwave for about 7 minutes, then roast in a 400 oven for about 15-20 minutes. If you are short on time, the smaller the cubes are, the less time to cook. Ribs ... yum!

You might stop and think about *why* you stopped and had those cookies? Could there be a hormonal element to consider? I know that at about the same time I am craving chocolate, I am also holding on to a couple of pounds of water. Lovely. Check back in about a week, and I bet you'll be happy.

Mr. Brightside - The Killers (Actually anything by the Killers) Hit Me Baby One More Time - Britney. I kid you not. Just TRY to stand still when that song is on. I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas Evacuate the Dance Floor - I can't remember, and my 4yo has my cell so I can't look it up. Looking forward to some new ideas.

My daughter had health issues and we went through a similar situation when she was 11 months old. The easiest answer: Olive Oil. Everything had a tablespoon of olive oil added. We put it in yogurt, we put it in her milk. On doctor's orders, she got a vanilla milkshake every day with olive oil. Also - peanut butter. For…

I'm with you - I hate to sweat and I hate to be sore. The one thing I really enjoy is yoga - and not wii fit easy yoga, but a really challenging yoga. A good yoga program will get you sweating. And you might be sore, but just a little bit. Not crazy sore like after using weights. I find that I feel SOOOO great after yoga,…

CONGRATS on reaching your goal today! I bet that feels GREAT! (Edit: sorry this was meant for Haley). OP - I don't have any great advice or tips about setting long term goals. My long term goal scares me. So I just look at what I need to do today. Not helpful, I know. Good luck!

Thanks so much everyone! I stuck to what I prelogged, and even left half of my food on my plate. So I know I actually didn't go over. Yet the scale showed +2 lbs this morning. I'm going to chalk it up to the sodium, eat clean for a few days, and hopefully those 2 lbs will be like a bad dream that never really happedened,…

I twisted my foot last fall. It hurt, but not too bad, so I just kept walking on it. Guess what? I gave myself a stress fracture because I didn't stop, ice, and rest it. Just think - two or three days of no elliptical versus six weeks in a boot. And I was lucky, the doctor said some people have to do 3 MONTHS in a boot. I…
