Does the Zip track your quality of sleep?

Zumba is super fun too and you can do it at your own pace.

Thanks! I've got myself set at eating 1480 every day. I also exercise a minimum of 30 minutes each day (usually more). I always eat my exercise calories. I'm not losing, but (knock on wood) I haven't been gaining. I'm just addicted to snacking on sweets in the evening and after lunch lately... and Easter with all its…

I like doing the Richard Simmons (either Sweatin' to the Oldies or Dance Your Pants Off) when I can't face another day of Jillian Michaels and just want a bit of a break. It's low impact and I find him (and the outfits some of the people are wearing) kind of entertaining. :p

I have chicken sooooo often. :p You can mix parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and Italian seasoning together and have a shake-and-bake style chicken. I sometimes either bake or fry pieces of chicken and coat them afterward in a mixture of low-fat mayo, Frank's red hot sauce, and Cajun spices. This makes a great buffalo-style…

Thanks so much. I wanted to order this ages ago, but with shipping and everything it was going to be almost $100 for two jars. >.< I just ordered from this website and the price was so much better!

Thanks, I'll go try that! :)

That's a super early lunch hour! I hate eating packed lunches, but the cafeteria at my school doesn't provide the most calorie-friendly foods. I make an effort to pack the four food groups when I make my lunch. I normally have either oatmeal, toast, or a sandwich. I load up on vegetables like carrot sticks, snap peas,…

Wow, thanks for all of the replies. I guess I have a bit of baking to do to see which one is the one I remember. Thanks again!

I do try to be as accurate as possible with both eating and exercise. I weigh my food, but I'm going to go pick up a digital scale instead. I'm pretty sure my other one isn't all that accurate. Exercise wise, I usually aim low. If I did a 30 minute Jillian Michaels video, I'll plug it in as either a 20 or 25 minute work…

I'm usually the most hungry after I've eaten. I eat loads of fruit and veggies throughout the day, at least two servings of meat (one at noon and one at dinner), and not too many carbs. I try to follow the food guide when I eat. I usually have a glass of water, a pot of yogurt, a banana, and cereal (either Rice Krispies or…

In an interview Jillian Michaels did, she said you should eat prior to exercising. She didn't recommend a huge meal though, I think she suggested and apple with peanut butter so your body has something to work with. Personally, I eat half my breakfast before and half after, so I'll usually have half my banana, go run on…

I was doing it (I lasted about a week and a half). I really like it, but I was getting bored doing it every day. I'm going to go back to running for a bit to lose a bit more around my gut so I'll actually be able to see my abs as they come in. :p I really like Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred too. Her workouts are awesome!

I really love salsa chicken. You can bake a whole breast or dice into cubes and fry them (I prefer the latter and I fry without any oils). Once the chicken is done, I load on 1/2 cup of salsa (I like old el paso thick and chunky mild) and sprinkle with a bit of shredded cheese. Cover and let the cheese melt and voila!…

Got it. Thanks!

I'm wondering, you're saying that you should be eating your exercise calories and eating 1200 calories a day. I would be starving at 1200 a day, I'm starving as it is eating 1500 a day! Noting that I am at 1500 cal/day, should I still be eating my exercise calories? I'm basically in the high end of the healthy weight scale…

I'm really glad I read this post. I'm ALWAYS hungry lately! I can have a huge meal and be hungry within an hour. I'm eating a little over 1500 calories a day and exercising between 30 to 60 minutes daily with the occasional break. I find a nice mug of hot tea will satisfy me for a little while between meals. I'll have to…

I usually have either Cheerios or Rice Krispies. The RK aren't that satisying, but I really like them. :P I add chopped up banana to both.

Wow, that's really unhealthy. You should never go under 1500 calories, even if mfp is telling you so. You should change your settings so you're eating 1500. I've been at 1500 for awhile and I feel like I'm not getting to eat that much as it is. I can't imagine going down to 1000. I would consult your doctor before eating…
