im curious...what kind of acai product did you use?

put a skimpy bathing suit in front of you so its visible when you wake up. think about how you want to look in that bathing suit this summer

I've been meaning to try and haven't got around. My friend swears by it, and he burns 1200 based on HR. So I think 800 is reasonable.

im 26 and not a heavy drinker. i like red wine above everything. BUT i do consume on average 3 cocktails on nights of dancing. and yes, i can dance for hours! the danger comes in when I have about 2 drinks. i loose my ability to control what i eat and want to drink more. i know, typical. well thanks for all the advise. i…

fruit and veggies are the way to go, so you must start introducing them into your body. an oreo cake is crap-food, and it messes w/ur hunger controls. my advice, if you're not hungry, don't eat! unless you're burning over a 1000 calories a day, you won't pass out if you have your protein shake. don't go into starvation…

dont listen to that! its all about math and science. if you know your stats (resting metabolism, BM, body fat percentage, etc) and do your math right, you will keep hitting your target. also, i highly recommend interval training. i like doing it on elliptical. so for 30 min, you alternate every two minutes, do 2 min of…

just keep at it! every time you fall off, next day pick it up and keep going.

holy crap! i know what that guilt feels like. this sunday i went over to my parents, and we had nice bbq dinner. i had mashed potatoes, bbq chicken, beet salad, and bread. all good till the cake. the four of us ate half of a giant cake! i ate the most! guilt used to really get to me, but i let it go by the end of the day.…

sounds good! starting: 136 current: 130 end: 120 (but that won't happen by august 4th) BUT, im going to vegas and chicago for a week, so i need extra help in motivation! its kind of hard to think about calories in vegas. any tips?

Thanks! Here's what I normally eat: bfast: weight-control oatmeal, banana, and short non-fat latte. lunch: this week ive been having a spicy black bean burger (morning star, non-meat), with a double-fiver english muffin for bun, almond mozarella cheese on the burger, with a salad (tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, etc).…

i am aware of the types of foods that its contained in, but it would good if it was ever listed. oh well, extra work for me!

i do love my carbs, and eat them often. for example, this morning, after a 6 mi run, about 50 min long, i had a flax waffle, topped with yogurt and berries, and a morning star sausage patty. plus a glass of milk. all that is 400 calories, of which 28 g of protein and 56 of carbs. you would think its plenty huh? then i…

Lately, on days that i run, it seems as if my hunger is out of control. I load up on protein afterwards, but that craving for something fatty sets in. i drink water and tea to curb that and eat lots of fresh fruit, but its as if my metaboism is out of control! what does everyone use for post-run protein?

I think 24 is way too low, so I set mine at 50. I think everyone goes over if you have at least 3 servings of fruit a day, which is needed for fiber and nutrition. Remember there's a difference in how fructose and glucose is processed. I used to obsses about it too, but now I just compare the sugars from fruit, and if its…

i live a mile from work and walk everyday, which takes me about 18 min at 3.0 or so, and its very hilly. i usually carry lots of stuff-gym bag, purse, lunch food, etc. my exercise routine is usually running at least 3 miles, elliptical for at lesaet 30 min, or yoga. so i don't consider this walking as actual exercise…

i did my longer one of 10 miles few weeks back, and now 7 miles seems like nothing, when a month ago it would scare me. way to go! keep pushing it.

I am training for a half-marathon to run next month, and I haven't noticed weight gain, but I fluctuate quite a lot. My legs however are getting more muscular and defined! I'm on a running program right now, and Sunday was my first time ever running 10 mi. I think I can do the half with rigorous training for a month. Post…

:wink: should have explained more. i am looking to begin my career in clinical research and do an internal transfer from a hospital to the research institute. but no one wants to hire w/out experience, even though im in a program and getting certified. so yes, i had an interview while on the job, but everyone, including my…

i am still at a point where i use food to deal w/any type of major dissapointment. i just got refected on a phone interview for a job i really wanted. so i had 2 pieces of bread instead of one. granted it was organic honey whole wheat at all, but am too full still. i didn't want to sit and sob in the office, and leaving…

i am suffering from the same condition. In 2000 I was treated w/radioactivity, and for a few years I was okay, but in 2003 I developed hypothyrodism. Now I only gained about 12 lbs, but on my lean frame, it shows. With meds (75 mcc of synthroid), I have it stabilized, but have not been able to drop those pounds quite yet.…

i have been keeping up my regular exercise regime but have absolutely no appetite, and only am eating to sustain myself right now. my stomach feels strange, not so much pain but a very high level of discomfort. any experts out here??

How many have you lost alltogether? I have about 13 to loose period, and all that happens is fluctuating by 5 bls, but I always gain it back. Have to try harder I think.

congrats!

I set my daily sugar goal to 30 g, but its very unrealistic since i go over and get about 70-90 per day. I consume at least 2 if not 3 servings of fruit daily. Its usually fresh and organic, or dried. Now fructose in fruit is processed very different in your body than high-fructose corn syrup and glucose in junk foods.…

i am signing up for one in june, and then hopefully get to marathon level by sept of 2009. im using runner's world mag and web for training. anyone else out there?:smile:

:drinker: my day has been great. the very first thing i did after getting caught up on sleep is run a good 6 miles! that set the entire day off to a good start. ive stayed w/in my calories and ate well. am looking forward to a successful week!

heres a video of my ab role model. http://www.runnersworld.com/video/0,8052,s6-6-0-2,00.html her'es a pic of me in nov coming back from brazil, all fat and happy.

Such a variety don't even know where to start. First, do you have a gym membership? The best is 24 hour fitness because all their classes are free. If you work for a large corporation you might even have a discount, just ask your employer. I think resistance training is a must. Invest in small dumbells and an exercise ball…

I'm proud to say I was not hung over at all! Kept it to two drinks only. Today is yoga and cardio day for me. Let's keep this up!
