i chop up cucumber, red pepper, kalamata olives and feta. Mix it all into the cooked (and cooled) quinoa with a healthy balsamic dressing. Like a greek quinoa salad. Easy and yummy.

I talk a lot to myself in my head, and mostly say things like "just get it done!" On a given day that could mean any number of things: just get the session done, just get the weight off, just get back into those favourite jeans.... I also think alot about "bang for my buck" - the fact that I am in that gym, spending 20,…

interesting article, but I didn't see the author offer an alternative. there are several comments about running NOT being the direct route to a bikini, but they never say what they believe is. did i miss it in there somewhere?

We are sisters! I am same height/weight and looking toward the same goal. I am trying to keep my deficit around 250-300 cals and am now embarking on week 2 with a big focus on strength training and some classes I have access that are mainly circuit training. I had spent 6+ weeks eating healthfully with around the same…

I don't know anymore! I thought I knew my happy weight and then I got there and learned that pre-pregnancy weight doesn't necessarily mean pre-pregnancy shape. So my happy weight is 'no muffin top', whatever that will equates to on the scale.

i have recently discovered Grey Goose L'orange. Mixed with sprite zero it tastes like a super refreshing, ligth orange crush. So good!

buy some cycling shorts - they have a built-in chamois that pads the area. and keep going to the classes. if you ride consistently, after a short time that won't happen to you. good luck!

So there you have it ... 294 spears of asparagus, and you won't even be hungry for dessert! :smile: [/quote] awesome.

Azdak - I heart you. Thank you for the clarity, as always.

Same, and giggling at the tricep comment. So arms, upper/inner thighs and the hateful muffin top. I've recently added a lot of strengh back into the mix, along with maintaining the cardio. Here's hopin!

Amen, Sista. I too, had twins. I still long, however, for the flat belly I took for granted all those years. I'm going to keep trying to work for it, but am beginning to lower my expectations and accept that I may not get all the way back there. :sad: I lucked out and didn't get any stretch marks, but I fear the muscles…

bananas & water (potassium in the bananas), water for the dehydration Midol - it addresses most of the symptoms you have when hungover

It is good to read this and the other thread the original post references. I've had questions in the past, but have struggled with how to post them here because I did feel that others might read it and think 'cry me a river, girlie' I got to what I thought was my goal weight (around 113lbs) and discovered that my body now…

Thanks, Kaitlin - I'm in the same boat. Got to goal weight only to discover that I still have fat I want to lose. I've added strength back into the mix along with the cardio and am counting the calories. I think the trick at this point will be to figure out what the right deficit for my body. Maybe it's a bit low and those…

I have some issues with my hands and am now very limited for arm exercises - holding weights is becoming very difficult/painful but I really need some serious arm toning. My hands seem ok on this machine so I'm going to try incorporating it into my workouts and see if I get some results. Flannel - I did the same thing…

I try to keep 'grab & go' type of foods in my fridge so that I can just throw a few things into my lunch bag and off I go. Here are some examples: hard boiled eggs apples, grapes, berries, cubed watermelon and a babybel cheese I've recently discovered the small cans of pre-mixed tuna that are actually quite good. They are…

Your liver can't metabolize fat at the same time it is metabolizing a toxin (like alcohol). If you have a drink or two this may be the case for a few hours. If you have a big night out, your liver may be otherwise occupied with the alcohol for a few days after; it will always prioritize a toxin over fat. Search the forums…

How I have missed your posts, Azdak - thanks for this. I have done a lot of reading, mostly on this site, and have learned a lot but the overall key to my success has been the basics. Eat thoughtfully, exercise, rest and patience. Cheers!

Not having read the Primal thing I have a question... Do you exercise much? Does this plan include a significant amount of exercise? I get from reading this thread that it suggests we weren't meant to eat grains. I'm thinking that we also weren't meant to ride in cars or sit on our butts watching TV either, or sit at desk…

2 wedges of laughing cow light with 2 wasa light rye crisps or apple and a cheese string Another way I do it is have a snack late morning to fuel my workout over the lunch hour, then have lunch after that. Having the later lunch holds me over til dinner. The key to that working for me is that the lunch needs to be…

How's the weight loss going eating this way?
-
I know EXACTLY what you mean. Check it this post from a while back..... :sad: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/62997-the-alcohol-question Good luck!

It does get confusing Smiles, doesn't it? I honestly thought that when I got to this weight I'd be transitioning to maintenance but now I'm not so sure. I will just try to stick with healthy eating and exercise and see what my body does. It has certainly showed me how my body composition has changed from age 35 (when I…

That is funny! Thanks for the input. I had been doing a fair bit of strength training along with the cardio back in the summer/fall, and in the last while have somehow gotten away from the strength stuff. Back at it! I like the comment from arielle about your body knowing when to stop. Makes sense! I'll just keep at it and…
-
Thank you all for your input. I had been focused more on cardio in recent months but will add back in some strength training. I could use some toning up! The Micheals workout is a great suggestion as well. Thanks again - wishing you all continued success and a great weekend!

Are you getting enough iron in your diet? I've heard that can contribute to fatigue. Maybe try increasing protein and decreasing carbs, or something along those lines. Great news that the bigger issues have been ruled out!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/62997-the-alcohol-question?hl=alcohol+question#posts-767714 Check out the thread posted here several months ago, you may find it interesting. I found it annoying, but at least I was making informed choices :drinker: Good luck!

You may find the post below helpful, or at least informative. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/62997-the-alcohol-question?hl=alcohol+question#posts-767714 Some days it feels like some sort of cruel joke, but knowledge is power and all that. Good luck!

Hello All, I too suffer from RA. I was diagnosed 19 years ago at age 21 with it in one of my thumbs. Since then it has moved to my pinkie on that same hand, and my left hand is affected in my first/second fingers. I first tried plaquenil + methotrexate + arthrotec about 10 years ago, but my RA fortunately had always been…

I don't notice that I go up, but do notice that I don't seem to drop anything either. Does anyone in the same boat notice if your efforts have paid off only AFTER tom?
