  • I agree; dehydrated or you may have low glucose stores. If the water doesn't help try adding a small carbo snack 30 min before cardio. I would try a stationary bike/recumbent bike to build back up your cardio endurance and also build back up your leg strength. Maybe swimming too if you have been off running for so long and…
  • I love that show. Not every story has a happy ending, but those are some of the most brave people I have ever seen to document there struggles and successes on national TV. Talk about a life-changing experience. As I said before, that is a short term program and maintenance is a whole `nother ball game. But it can work, as…

Pam kept off 60 pounds and completed a triathlon. Pete lost a total of 160 pounds and happily showed off his six-pack abs. He is helping…

  • Well, although it is true that severe calorie-restriction can be damaging to your vital organs in the long-term most of us that have seen "Biggest Loser" are watching this severe restriction with exercise in action. Key note here is that they are medicaly supervised thru the whole process. That being said; Most of the…

  • here's another way to look at this; before you were trying to lose, how many calories do you estimate you were consuming a day? I await your responce; I do have a different oppinion/idea

  • so, how did that go? LOL
  • Well, I read thru all the "good" and the "bad" experiences everybody had for the weekend challenge. I faired pretty well. Didn't go over calories but drank too much with the girls. I might have foiled my plans if I had had a slice of the (I apologize already, but it was a bachelorette) "penis" cake. Actually, it was pretty…
  • oooh! I'm right there with you! I have a two day bachelorette extravaganza this weekend! We're headed out in a limo to "wine country" from 10-6 p.m. God help me! Then we are going to a club. In the morning we're going for brunch. This could be a disaster! I vow to only taste a couple tablespoons worth of each wine, to…

  • oooh, chocolate! I can't wait to try that one! Thanks! If we could get a recipe thread going that would be great. I live off of these things durring the summer. Here's a recipe I love and it is around 150 calories! 3/4 cup frozen berries or fresh berries (blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, or mixed berry) 1/2…
  • Anybody have some good recipies ideas for Protien Shakes and Smoothies that stay under 250 cals (or thereabout) I am completely burnt out on my whey, yogurt, and frozen berries. I know you people must have something up your sleeves. I would like to try something new. I have nearly turned into a blueberry. Thankx!
  • I would say that you must resist and keep the money in your pocket when it comes to purchasing these things. If they aren't in front of you, you can't eat them right? Every time you have a craving and can restist, put the cash you saved into a special jar. Buy something with it at the end of the month, like shoes.....love…
  • The Gap has relatively good prices and a supportive bra that doesn't use underwire. Honestly tho I agree that Victoria's Secret Biofit or Body by Victoria are fab. I wish they'd just invent some sort of lotion u could rub on a VIOLA! instant perky and anti-bounce! hehe
  • maybe you should see about going getting your body fat percentages checked. Finding out what the ratio of fatty tissue to muscle tissue is can really let you know what you're fighting against. From there you can determine what your real resting metabolic rate is and therefore map out your calorie intake. sounds complicated…

  • try recipes that wont neccesarily hurt you, just keep the serving size correct and mark in in your calories intake. A favorite at my house is non-fat, sugar-free pudding made with skim milk and topped with fat-free non-dairy whipped topping and the"berry" of your choice. I love the jello cheesecake flavor with rasberries.…
  • http://www.dietitian.com/choleste.html If you don't have access to a registered dietician to help you with your "plan of attack" to get your levels down, maybe check out this site above. If you have good insurance your doctor may be able to refer you. Good luck!
  • Instead of watching the scale, try measuring your inches: bust, upper arms, waist, hip, and thigh areas. Make sure to measure loss in inches as well as lbs. Everyones body is different but if you're on the right plan, you will lose. Sometimes changes are more noticable in inches. When you work out, fluids surround your…
  • to make it though a bachelorette party weekend while staying on track
  • if i were you i'd invest in a slim fast or five! that and law fat home made creamy potato soup is what saved my life afterwards. and water...cut out the simple sugars n sweets..remeber balance of fat carbs and protien is important
  • what food do you love the most? message me and i'll try to suggest some healthy alternative choices. i will help if i can!
  • try a jump start...like a five day cleanse. there are plenty out there. check your local GNC and ask for advice. what this can do for you is give your metabolism a fresh starting point, regulate your blood sugars, and help you rid your body of extra water weight. remember to not do any serious cardio or strength training…
