I can't stand her either!!! Was glad to see her go, and pissed to see her come back too! I won't spoil anything for you though! LOL!!

I totally missed that the first time! LOL, gotta love typos...I make more than my fair share too!

I started to reply to this but then realized it doesn't deserve a response...LOL!

311 calories all day? She is starving herself and the end result will be FAT stores. It will make her skinny (anorexic) at first, but our bodies natural defense mechanism is kicking in and will begin to store fat very quickly. That is NOT smart to only eat that much in a whole day. That is what I eat for breakfast alone! I…

I'm jealous!!! lol Let us know how you like Insanity! You're gonna be smokin' hawt in 60 days!!

WOO HOO!!! Congrats on quitting smoking!

I drink a hot cup of tea or a big glass of ice cold water. You could also drop on the floor and do some push ups or crunches! Go for a walk, walk the dog, play with the kids, read a good book. If you MUST eat, then make healthy choices - fresh fruits & veggies. Take it one day at a time! Tina

Also, are you eating 5-6 small meals per day? You should try to eat every 2 - 3 hours. What are your snacks and what types of food are you eating? Are you taking a multivitamin? Sounds like you're deficient in something; that's why your body is "craving" something and you can't seem to curb that craving with any of your…

If we were all to be honest, I think we can say we've all went over on our calories at least once a week....and maybe even by as much as 1,000 calories or more. Look at it as a positive, not a negative. For one - you logged ALL your food. You accounted for every little thing you ate. You were accountable! And two - it is…

Either would do the trick. P90X will build more lean muscle which in turn will burn more fat on a regular basis. Insanity is more cardio-based so it will burn fat during the workout and up for a time afterwards. Both are intense programs, and both will challenge your body to it's MAX! So it's kind of up to you. I have done…

Welcome to MFP, Steph!! You've definitely come to the right place for support and motivation. I love this site! You will want to start out by entering your goals into the database and then start tracking your calories. Keep coming here and checking in daily! We're here to help you reach your goals. To your success!!…

I know right?! I was shocked to learn that organic baby spinach has sodium! WHAT??? Oh well, it is minimal, but I don't understand how it gets there. Whatever. *sigh* With the All Whites, there are no extra ingredients but think I may save money just buying regular eggs (free range)? Will have to check it to see I guess. I…

Cool beans! I'll be trying this out ASAP! I'll just have to hold my breath while cracking open the eggs. Ugh. :sick: Thanks again!! Tina

Awesome idea!! I will have to try this. How long do they keep in the freezer though? A week? And do they have a weird consistency when you cook them after they've been frozen? I usually just use a cooking spray and scramble them, but sometimes I use the liquid egg whites in my protein pancakes.

I don't have any issues with high blood pressure or anything, but I am trying to stay within the daily allowance for sodium. I don't add salt to anything and I don't eat much processed anything so I'm usually at or a little below the daily amount that's recommended on MFP. However, I opted for egg beaters this morning for…

Brittney, I have been looking at your food diary and I gotta say....girl, you need to eat! You aren't getting nearly enough calories, and the calories you are eating aren't healthy ones. I don't want to discourage you or make you feel bad, I want to help you. It is very important that you do not skip meals. If you continue…

I think if you follow your MFP goals, you should be fine. If you're a Beachbody club member, you can figure out exactly how many calories your body needs while doing Slim In 6 and compare it to what MFP says you need, then tweak it if you need to. OR, you could give me your information (height, weight, age) and I can…

Beachbody has recently just revamped Slim In 6! It has new moves and new music, plus you can get Shakeology along with it to help get ALL your vitamins and minerals, AND a full serving of fruits and veggies in one glass!! You should totally do Slim In 6! I didn't follow the meal plan and I didn't do MFP either. I kept a…

Congrats on your new family addition!! We'll be here to help you reach your goals!

Slim In 6 was my first Beachbody fitness program....IT WORKS!! Just follow the program and eat as clean as possible. I lost 10 pounds and 5% body fat in 6 weeks. I'm also a Beachbody coach, so if you decide to order it from me, I would be your fitness coach for free! I love all of the Beachbody fitness programs that I've…

I don't recall seeing what you are doing for exercise. Are you doing strictly cardio or a strength/cardio rotation? How long are you workout out? How many calories do you burn during your workouts? No, you don't have to eat back all of your exercise calories, but if you don't, you could be placing your body into starvation…

I have to agree...it's impossible to burn fat in specific areas. You can target train certain body parts for toning, but then you have muscle under the fat. The fat burning process takes longer...and unfortunately for women, the fat hangs on longer to our lower body (tummy, hips, thighs). I've been struggling with these…

Hi Lori, Welcome to MFP! This place is great!! I'll be 42 in June, so I'm a little bit ahead of you...but I was in that same place nearly 2 years ago. I wanted to be in the best shape ever by the time I hit 40. I did it, and so can you! I'll be here to help encourage you along the way. I found out that if I want to…

Are you logging every single thing you eat and drink? What are you doing for exercise? Are you making healthy food choices? The older we get, the more our metabolism slows down..unless you put on some lean muscle mass. Muscle burns fat 24/7. Add in some strength training days to your routine and see if that helps. Also,…

24 lbs. is awesome!! It may be time to switch things up a bit if you've noticed the weight isn't coming off any more. Our bodies adapt after so long of doing the same things over again. You want to progress....is your trainer for the boot camp incorporating new exercises or adding weights, etc.? It sounds like you know why…

You really have to watch the labels on the fat free items. Usually they add more sugar to replace the fat. That could be where the extra cals are coming from. Check the sugar content from the previous info if you can and see if that's the case. You may be better off with a low-fat version anyway (at least concerning the…

Welcome Leigh Ann! You've def come to the right place! MFP is awesome!!! Add me as a friend if you like and we can help each other out! Tina

Definitely figure up your BMR. This will tell you approximately how many calories your body burns if you never even got out of bed. What types of exercise are you doing, for how long, and what intensity? Are you fairly close on figuring how many calories you burn per workout? I agree with Robin on the 1200. If you have…

You can still make healthier choices when eating at restaurants. I wouldn't spend much money on groceries, but buying a few things that you know you'll eat in the next couple days wouldn't be a bad idea. Eating out brings with it a lot of temptations....which means a lot of extra calories usually. I wouldn't settle for…
