So as I promised.... SW 167 ( April 7) CW 161 (May 5) Lose 10lbs (151) by June 5 GW 145 I believe I am progressing well... Also with school ending next week I plan on upping my workout schedule. What I am proud of the most is the fact that I can walk up and down stairs now. I have had 4 knee surgeries and recently been…

I'm in.... I weigh in tomorrow so I will repost!!! Kinda excited because I need accountability especially with my food

Chew gum... It seems to help me

Abdominals are postural muscles so you can texhniquely do a light work out every day but if there is soreness you need to allow your muscles rest.. If you have soreness for more than 3 days... You probably over did it

Static planks... Start in modified position... Which would be on knees I push up position and try to activate transverse abdominals by pulling your stomach in towards you backbone... Hold for 10-15 secs.. If it doesn't bother you slowly add time and when you feel ready attempt full plank

thanks

It could be angina. does the pain stop after some rest. But even if so you need to see a doctor and get a stress test to verify. It can lead to heart attack

definately need to eat more or your body will go into starvation mode and retain everything you eat. I would also increase protein. By doing this your body will burn more calories to break it down. Best of Luck

there are also good sugar that comes from natural foods and good fats. Don't worry to much. I focus on Calories, Protein and Carbs.

have you tried brushing your teeth after dinner. It tells your brain that you are done eating/drinking for the night?

i would rather quit and not be addicted to it anymore and then just treat myself to it on it during movie nights or date nights... special occasions

nothing is wrong with some sugar... but there are days that i have 2-3 20oz soda which is way to much sugar and I don't want to be dependent on it for energy like I have been/am.

mix ground beef in with ground turkey.... and we make different flavor meatballs. with little milk and some bread crumbs to hold it all together. we make about 3 2oz servings and when you buy this all in bulk you can have meatball often. My husband eats 2 servings a day. He is trying to clean bulk! I find its cheaper than…

Thanks for the suggestion but....If I am going to drink a soda I want a real soda. I have also done research regarding the "fake" sugar used in diet soda and it should that you are more likely to gain weight with diet soda vs regular soda

I also have a vitamix but do not utilize it as much as I should. So if you come a cross some good low calorie meals let me know.

I have been on here multiple times too. I too get derailed and I usually blame on being too tired to fix something healthy so I grab something quickly. I'm a mother of 2... And my youngest almost a year is still not sleeping through the night so around mid afternoon when I'm alone I tend to binge or drink multiple sodas. I…

why did you apologize about sharing... that is amazing great job

Whey Protein Shake... initially about $50 but will last the longest. I usually go to GNC and get chocolate favor and at it to oatmeal in the morning as well.

Once a week, same day about same time of day

Hello everyone, my name is Erin. I just came across this challenge today and figured why not since I planned on meeting my goal weight by Nov 1 anyway. But the reason why I am losing weight is I can get back my body from before the baby. I have been stuck at my current weight for about 6 months now but that's because I…

LUNA Protein bar.. they are so yummy!!!

Cut the pill in half. Most of the time multivitamins have way more % then we need in a day and our body just gets rid of what we don't need so by cutting the pill in half and take one in the morning and one in afternoon, saves you money so you do not have to spend more and allows your body to actually absorb the vitamins.

From Physical Therapy Assistant school, I learned that Max Heart rate is determined : 220-age not 205 and then a good work out heart rate is between 60-80% of that.

Being on my period... :(

Hate to say this but that belly bump is the last to go and its so hard to lose.... really have to doing at least 30 min cardio and 30 min weight training... weight training will help you to lose to BMR so you burn more calories through out the day and eventually lose the belly bump...

Do not worry about drinking a protein shake and turning into a weight lifter. You would have to consume so many more calories then just a protein shake. I would suggest taking in immediately after working out b/c that is when your body need the protein to help repair your muscles. Drinking it before will only hurt your…

Yes, especially when u are on a calorie controlled diet. Thats because it acts as a filler when you think you are hungry. Plus if you only drink water you can save you calories for actual food.

what is this C25K program and how can i do it?

try making your own ranch with a fat free sour cream and a ranch seasoning package

try adding whey protein shakes to your diet
