  • Welcome..and you GO girl..great start!
  • Unless you have a TRUE thyroid issue, its a matter of calories in and calories out. Most people completely over estimate how much "extra" food they can eat because of exercising...also that myth about doing more weight work and concentrating less on cardio to lose weight is just that..a myth..if you are simply interested…
  • Rinse well a few times and cook, no problem.
  • I have had the same issue...only work out in the morning and I need time between food and exercise...recently I have started having a small cup of tea and a piece of fruit before I workout, probably 30 mins between the food and actual exercise..so far I've been fine like that..although I don't begin my workout with…
  • You GO girl! You look happy and beautiful! And 100% this can be done without going to a gym (and I work in gym shhhhhh LOL). Everyone knows its 80% diet, 20% exercise...and no matter how much you work out, if you continue to over eat, weight loss will not happen! Congratulations!

  • Thanks for the link. Interesting theory.
  • I love them too..but I have to pay VERY close attention to how much of a whole fruit I eat. Its easy to eat an entire avocado in a day, and thats the same amount of calories as in a meal! I like to mash them up and mix them with a small baked sweet potato with some "Bragg's" aminos...makes an incredible savory…
  • Maybe change up the foods you eat..change your foods. Also try focusing on one really complete meal a day and make the other 2 really light meals. The other thing that works for me is skipping dinner 3-4 days a week...although that takes a lot of self control..but it will help you get past the plateau..
