Just stop and breathe. Beating yourself up won't do you any good- get back on track RIGHT NOW!!! Make sure the rest of your day is packed with lots of veggies and water :)

you can customize your own guidelines on MFP but basically, if you follow a 2000 a day diet and you want a 40/30/30 breakdown you would consume 800 calories a day from protein and 600 calories a day EACH from carbohydrates and fat. This would equate to 200 grams per day of protein, 150 grams of carbohydrates and 66 grams…

I'm 5'9... but I almost always have on heels pushing me closer to about 5'11 :)

And the nut'l info will differ slightly on the type of hot sauce and spaghetti sauce used.... mine usually clocks in around 254 cals for 1/4 of the lasagna.

Yes, I made it up, it rocks!!

Sounds fun!!! this is one of my all time favorite recipes, the ingredients seem STRANGE but they work well. Buffalo Chicken Lasagna 3 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese ½ cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1 cup of low calorie spaghetti sauce 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce 2 oz. shredded 2% cheddar cheese 6…

I sneak veggies in on my kids in weird ways.... when I cook taco's I put chopped squash in the meat, you never taste it. I add shredded zucchni to pasta dishes, just cut it long like noodles, I puree cauliflower with laughing cow cheese to make cheesy "potatoes", I mix broccoli and cheese with whole wheat rotini for mac'n…

170 if you don't change anything ;)

chewable vitamin, calcium plus vitamin d, biotin, vitamin c, BCAA's, fish oil

If I work out FIRST thing in the AM all I have is BCAA's mixed with water before/during my workout. Then I eat as soon as I'm done.

It depends on the type of training your doing, push/pull; split training, full body, etc. If you're doing a 5 day split then you don't work the same muscle two days in a row. If you're doing something more like push/pull, one day you work push muscles and one day you work muscles that pull. It's important to give your…

sugar free syrup metled sugar free preserves frozen fruit heated up in the microwave, smashed up and mixed with greek yogurt cinnamon & stevia crumbled up with 1 tsp. light butter to make a streusel berries and fat free cool whip peanut butter and sliced banana with sugar free chocolate syrup

Yummy!!!

That's why I love her workouts!!! 30 minutes a day :)

Fajitas :)

If you have room for a snack, eat it. If not- try drinking hot tea, diet hot cocoa, sugar free popsicles (10 cals)... it'll add a few calories but it's better then the alternative

My butt NEVER leaves... I have a ghetto booty. I lose from the head down but it's like my butt is the speed bump that it just JUMPS right over, LOL!!! So, I just play it up and make sure it stays tight, gotta work with what you got, LOL!!

I eat it raw in wraps OR I steam it in the microwave (in a steaming bag) or wrap it in foil, squirt some lemon and garlic on it and bake it at 350 for 15 minutes

I'm not a guy but I aim for .75 grams per pound of body weight. Good luck :)

I usually do 1 cup of frozen fruit; 1/3 bag baby spinach leaves; 1/4 frozen peeled avocado, 1 tbs. flax meal; 1 cup almond milk; 1 cup water... blend!!!

I think it's all in the "type" of food you buy though. I hole heartedly know that I spend MORE money eating healthy then I would if I hit up a dollar menu. However, it's money well spent. I would rather spend less money in the long run on health problems, doctor's appts, BIGGER clothes, etc. then food. I do however think…

I make my own "nutella".... all you need to do is roast 2 cups (9 oz. on the food scale) of hazelnuts and put them in a blender/food processor with 3 1/2 tbs. unsweetned cocoa powder and stevia to taste (I have used agave and it's worked well too) - blend away and keep it in the fridge!!! :) I LOVE "nutella"... but I love…

I just order steamed chicken and broccoli, tell them no rice- double the broccoli and get the sauce on the side. AND I have to have a spring roll :)

SW... my highest weight ever (when I stepped on a scale) was 198... post baby CW 148-150 (I jump around a bit) GW.... I don't really have a number although I'm thinking maybe 145 'ish... my goal bodyfat % is 16 Height: 5'9

Chicken, mushrooms, onions and spinach mixed with laughing cow light cheese and garlic powder and served over tofu noodles

I think I could spike off nothing but nutella and white bread..... and a banana, so I feel like nutritious and all, LOL!! Seriously though, i'm loving this concept!! So, with the bmr-500 for cutting, would that be everyday or do you advise people to eat close to their bmr?

Whoever can make me calorie free reese cups

I think it depends on how much you actually eat. I know from experience that one "binge day" CAN AND DOES set my weight loss back.
