Resistance levels is what increases my calorie burn on them also speed at which I am going.

Besides yours, the best thing I have is take one day to plan and prep meals for the week so that you have your decision already made as it lessons temptation. I plan my and make my breakfast and lunch for the whole week and make it all in the morning on sunday then portion it out son it makes it easy to grab and go for the…

Thanks for sharing!! I love these. Keep up the hard work you are doing amazing!!

I avoid buying a lot of junk for my house. It helps me avoid munching on unhealthy things. Also if you don't mind spicy flavors you can really make the veggies even better with them. You can also create oven ""fried" meats so breaded baked chicken. This might help with your transistion.

Amazing job. Thank you for your truths. I totally agree with the do not deny yourself.

I am a migraine sufferer due to hormones plus other things. One of the things I have done that helped me be migraine free for over 2 years was acupuncture. It is a forced hour of relaxation that is very much needed when you have them. Also a good thing is to keep a food journal. I can trigger a migraine with dairy so…

I keep it different. If I do just one thing all the time as with food and other things in life I get bored. On my cable provider we have bideos available with different times on them. On days I don't go to the gym I do these. Another great thing is just to get outside and walk.

Yummy yummy I definately am all over that

I have found that the darker the chocolate the more it satisfies and the less I need. I particularly like the lindt dark chocolate with almond slivers. 2 squares are 100 calories. I take it down break them off and put it away.

I love gummy vitamins! They are like fruit snacks so you have to be careful and just take your alloted amount.

fresh veggies raw in particular also raw almonds and lean proteins are helpful for me. I eat lots and lots of veggies.

I know this is a kind of salad but it is not a lettace salad. Garbanzo Bean Tuna Salad 1 can of garbanzo beans (rinsed) 1 can of light tuna in water drained ½ cup green onions chopped 1 cup celery chopped 1 medium-large avocado diced 8 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 10 sugar snap peas diced 1 cup of radish slices 1 cup of…

I usually try to do 4-6 days a week. My body and muscles need a rest at least once a week. I usually do the gym 4 days and then on the other two I try and do something at home or walk during my lunch. I have started doing yoga sometimes on my days off.

I got mine at target. I prefer the one with the button seal lid instead of the glass top. I say for brown rice just follow the rice cooker instructions. Mine has lines as to where you are supposed to put the water based on the cup they provide. My cup provided is only 3/4 a cup.

It can be hard to keep it in check in ourselves. Maybe it is one of those things you wish that someone would have come up to you and said something in a nice way. You never know what the other person is going through. Just remember to be glad you are on this journey. Look at the other person and be thankful you are working…

Soups are awesome things to freeze. You have to be careful with ones containing mushrooms or potatoes. Another thing that freezes great is chili. Something else I have done is taco meat and pasta sauces.

My go to snack is raw nuts particular almonds. They are high in fiber and protein along with low in salt and have the good fats in them.

I have always feared that I might be prediabetic and have been talking with the healthcare people I work with daily. They say that even if you don't have to watch your diet limiting carbs is a great way to help your numbers. The Zone and South Beach food plans are really good for people who are in this range because they…

They also have a list of their gluten free foods on their website if you are curious.

One of my Coworkers is gluten free and loves all their products. My personal favorite thing to get there is their nuts. I also love their low sodium broths I think those are gluten free.

resistance bands...they don't take up much room.

mashed cauliflower. Yummy Yummy.

I notice on days I am super low on carbs I get super hungrey that day or the next day.

Leftover homemade chicken tortilla soup.

Welcome to the Journey. It has been amazing for me being on here. So I hope it continues to make you feel better too!!

did you eat more sodium then you normally do?

Yes it is all about the baby steps. One thing that has helped me stick with my food goals is to plan meals out. It can take asome time one day but once it is done it makes it that much easier to follow through on them. As for exercising depends on what you can do. If you are able to get up 30 mins earlier and work out then…

Your body will eventually get used to consuming higher levels of fiber and it won't produce as much.

For me this has been more of a lifestyle change or consistancy with food. You become very aware of what you are putting into your body. I know that I am more aware of it and have changed some things even though I ate generally very healthy. It was interesting for me to learn that on days I worked out that sometimes I was…
