  • Good for you!! Awesome!! I've been stuck on Week 5 for a few weeks now - I just can't get my breathing under control. :( I'm not giving up, though!
  • YOU CAN DO THIS!! Feel free to friend request me! We can do it together!
  • Same here 30 days and they're gone. I also delete for stupid cardio logging "SoAndSo burned 659 calories doing 45 minutes of cleaning or food preparation". Bwahahahaha! Gone!
  • I have the Asics Gel Cumulus 15's and love them! I went to a running store and had my gait etc... analyzed and these were recommended. I love how they hug my heel nicely and my feet don't get too hot.

  • I think I'm probably the only person on the planet that did not have luck with Keto - I tried it for nearly 6 months and lost 2#. When I tweaked my macros and added carbs back in I started losing again. Go figure! Try it out, though, it's worth a shot. Do it for a month and see what happens. Also, check out some of the…
  • I love the Subway double chicken chopped salad - it is huge, full of protein and right around 500cal (depending on what you add).
  • Hahaha! I love it!
  • Great suggestion. I don't really care for New Amsterdam, but that's because the flavor doesn't smack me in the face like others do and that's what I love about gin. Comb 9 gin is also quite mellow - it's made with honeycomb and has a touch of sweetness.
  • Gin and diet tonic with two limes is my very favorite!! But, since you don't like gin, how about rum and diet coke, vodka with light/diet cranberry juice or a wine spritzer?
  • Way to go! After a few more classes your butt won't even notice. I promise! If you are going to purchase anything at all for spinning, make it shoes! The ride you get when you're clipped in is totally different and amazing! Absolutely worth the price!!
  • I have no opinions on Herbalife, but whatever you do, please don't go around trying to sell at your gym. There is a husband/wife at my gym that wear these huge 'Herbalife' buttons whenever they workout and always try to strike up conversation and get you go buy s**t. At first I thought she was just being friendly, but…
  • No veggies at all??? Surely you overexagerrate!! Do you like salsa? Shredded crockpot salsa chicken is awesome in tortillas, over rice and on a salad (if you ate salad, that is). Throw some corn in there for good measure too - it'll add sweetness!
  • I was going to suggest Carnation or Ensure drinks. They are usually cheaper than the GNC stuff, and are super-simple.
  • No special prep necessary. Open tub, dip!! Tribe's Everything flavor is my all-time favorite!
  • Are you keeping a food diary? Open it up so we can peek and try to offer more solid advice.
  • Doesn't help answer your question, but hubby and I met in High School. :tongue: One of my girlfriends is on plentyoffish.com and just yesterday told me she met a really great guy (of course there were some duds at first).
  • I agree with all of the other 'butter' suggestions above and would like to add in Sunbutter (made with sunflower seeds). It's delicious!
  • I make my husband hide the scale from the day before through the last day. Quite possibly too extreme, but it works for me.
  • Not counting vitamins and the green or black tea that I have every single day, mine are: ALDI Fit & Active - Vanilla Grade A Nonfat Yogurt Carolina - Basmati Rice Egg, Large - 1 Large Egg Fresh Fruit - Pineapple Oil - Olive
  • Be sure that you're doing dynamic stretches prior to running and static stretches after. I used to always do nothing but static, but after switching it up the pain in my hip and ankle are decreasing. Give it a try!
  • Don't start Monday - start with the very next meal! If you 'fall off the wagon' and have a quadruple bacon cheeseburger, cheese fries and milkshake for lunch on Wednesday that totally blows your macros out of the water don't beat yourself up and use it as an excuse to eat like crap for the next four days. Start again with…
  • I love beards!! (Check my pics for one of my husband's beard - love it!)
  • 375# on the leg press last night - WooWoo! I also signed up for my first race...a 5k trail run next month. I still hate running, but I hate it much less now and am actually willing to do it in public!
  • Me too. But I wear my regular bra under a sports bra. Works great!
  • The Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers were on sale at my local grocery store this week. I'd never tried them before but picked up a few for lunches. I had the beef merlot one today. It was less than 200cal and tasted pretty darn good! I've done Lean Cuisine and Amy's before - both are good - but definitely watch out for the…
  • It's all about your willpower. If you want to make the change, you will. I enjoy salty snacks as much as the next person, but definitely would not use the word 'addict'. Try swapping out high sodium deli meat for its low sodium counterpart. Buy low/no salt crackers. Drink tons of water. Season your food with herbs and…
  • In through the nose, out through the mouth. My trail running coach suggested an uneven breathing pattern that has worked quite well for me. Instead of going in for three and out for three, breathe in for three and out for two (or in four and out three...whatever works for you). This will ensure that you aren't always…
  • I was a professional pastry chef for years. Getting out was the best thing I ever did, but short of that, one trick I used was mentally asking myself if I 'needed' to taste that certain thing. Sure, I might WANT to eat some chocolate chip cookie dough, but the recipe never changes and by now I know what it tastes like. It…
