I believe you only mix the milk and oat for an overnight soak, then add in the things in the morning just before you eat. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :D

From what I just read, they should be incorporated into your foods. Sprinkled on cereal, oatmeal, rice, yogurt ....what ever floats your boat. I don't know what would happen to them if you cook them into food..ie, muffins, breads, but it sounds like being ingested is what breaks them down. The fiber the seeds contribute…

If you have the calories available (for this dinner I'd do an extra workout--love sushi!) try any of the fried seafood rolls. They usually include a sweet or spicy sauce with them. My absolute fav is the spider roll...soft shell crab, fried and rolled with lots of goodies! It says they have a full sushi menu so I'm sure…

In all honesty, I'd watch my carbs earlier in the day and have sushi for dinner. All the fresh seafood--the sushi should be killer! As long as I stay away from the heavy cream sauces, I'd eat just about everything they have :D

We eat so many different pasta shapes, I got tired of trying to figure it out. Awhile back I started cooking the entire box, checked the weight and divided it by the number of servings. I kept/cut off a piece of the box with the brand/type and on the back I wrote out the weight of a portion cooked and calories. After…

Lyle McDonald has written extensively on this subject. It's not a short read by any means, but it is packed with information. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/articles - this is the start of his articles-lots of reading for anyone interested. Keep a note pad handy for jotting down notes.…

There's a thread going in Motivation and Support http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/631309-anyone-with-hypothyroidism-or-hashimoto-s-thyroiditis

Ideally it would be all fat. That isn't going to happen, but you can minimize the muscle loss by lifting weights. If you've never lifted, you can easily start with body weight exercises and move up when you're feeling stronger.

Summer and fall made it easier for me to hit it when I had more to lose. I think I hit (or damn close)for about a month running last summer.

The only thing that continues to work for me is lower/ moderate carbs. I stayed under 100 for several months and lost weight after I got stuck. I did try recently to increase them, but no dice- the weight stuck to me and I always felt tired, like I needed a nap. The 100 seems to work best for me with a high day (almost 200…

Don't forget to check craigslist! I got a starter set someone was getting rid of for $150-bench included and in good shape.

Congrats on a new piece of equipment! Don't forget the tunes :D

+1 If you really want to know, try logging a regular days eating. A real day, don't think about dieting or what you should eat, just log what you would normally eat. Most are suprised at the amount of calories they would consume on a normal day. I was disgusted when I tried tracking what would have been a regular day for…

I'm I fast walker too. I've been through a few pairs and the ryka pair (might be called featherlite) are the best for walking for me. The heels looks high, but your foot sits down a bit further than it looks like. I don't have problems with the heel hitting/scraping on uneven surfaces anymore.

If you're within your calories you should be fine. Some people have problems with whey, they bloat up to much with it-although casein is usually hard to digest. Try a few days without it and see how you feel. Have you measured your self? If you haven't, do so after your next day off. Since the belly is where you're most…

MFP protein totals are low for anyone trying to lose fat, without a kidney problem. Protein will keep you feeling full longer and digest slower than carbs. Where as candy, gatorade and juices are mostly empty calories.

Going over on protein is fine, but watch the fats. Eat what ever fits your macros--apples, fat free yogurt-fat free cheeses.

Are you asking about the original power 90 or P90x? I did the original years ago and didn't like the yoga at first either. Maybe keep trying it to give the program a fair chance. I started to like how I felt after the yoga. Calm and flexible.

This sounds yummy!! Sunday breakfast for me :D

The biggest offender I see is the dressings. Even the "light" ones aren't so light. The next ones would be eating out and nuts. Nuts are good for you, but really high in fat. I worked around the dressing issue by using fat free sour cream or fat free yogurt to thin the dressings out a bit. If you don't want to dilute the…

You're at a healthy weight now and only 17. Your body is still growing, even at 6'1". Is this to make weight for wrestling or a team? Try measuring yourself instead of worrying about the scale. If you want to see more muscles, you'll need to pick up some weights and start lifting. Please, please...find someone to teach you…

Are you sure you aren't reading the cholesterol level? Eggs alone (poached or not) only have 5 grams of fat.

Give it at least 4 weeks, then adjust if you need to. If you were working out already and ramped up the cardio or body weight exercises, the loss could be masked by water coming to help with repair. if your new to working out, it might take all 4 weeks to get the body to loosen its death grip on those pounds. You dont have…

I've done that too! Yummy!! Nutella-if you have the cals- kicks up the chocolate nicely.

An easy quick change would be the milk. Go for the regular stuff, not light. You can also do a slice of bread or two with peanut or almond butter. They add up pretty quick.

Several pounds of that is water and you will gain it back once you're able to eat correctly. I'd get some protein shakes and liquid vitamins. Your body needs the help healing and that really should be your focus right now. Dieting while you're healing only prolongs the healing process.

I've read on here about some guys using Glide ( at least I think that's what it's called), there's also monistats anti chaffing ointment. I found the monistat at the drugstore for DH. Relief was immediate for him.

The videos are set to be used on alternating days. Monday (or whatever day you start) is Sweat 1-2, Tuesday is Sculpt 1-2, Wednesday Sweat 1-2, Thursday Sculpt 1-2, Friday Sweat 1-2, and finally Saturday Sculpt 1-2. Most beginners stay with those two videos until the start of the third month. Then they switch up to the 3-4…

Planks is the one that pops to mind. Side and front--hold them for as long as you can-they aren't as easy as they look. Body weight squats and lunges, those will get the legs and you need your core for stability. They may not take long to get used to though.

We all have areas that the fat just doesn't want to leave and it's usually the first place it shows up. Those last 10 are some of the hardest to get rid of. The only thing I can suggest is to keep at, P90X is supposed to be great. Don't forget to measure, check how your clothes are fitting and don't let the scale take over…
