you could try to keep meal replacement shakes with you and bottled water for those times when you can't stop and have a meal. When you do stop at a restaurant, try to order salads or just a meat and rice and veggies. STay away from meat prepared in a sauce. Plain grilled meat is best. Good luck!

I actually would not recommend any of the protein mixes you can buy at a grocery store or a vitamin shop. The combination of nutrients is lacking for weightloss meal replacement purposes. What I do recommend is: 1. HMR meal replacement shakes that you can buy online. 2. Beach Body meal replacement shake that you can also…

I actually prefer turkey bacon... the whole piece is crunchy without having that grissly fat section (EW!) like you get on regular pork bacon.

I use very cool books I get from Borders or novelty stores.

laughing cow light swiss cheese wedge and trader joes whole wheat flax water crackers. One wedge plus 4 crackers is only 90 calories!!!!

I've kept a journal for years - although I'm not an every day writer. It goes in spurts. Sometimes I'll write daily for years, then I may take a break for two years. Typically, I write about once a month. It's my release medium to clear my head and get a firm grasp on situations.

good for you. That kind of treatment is unnecessary and should not be tolerated. Unfortunately, you have to stick it out until the legal channels have been completed. Just try to keep your head up and not take anything she says to heart.

Sometimes it's just better to be the bigger person. Dont' feed into her. In fact, why have any contact with her whatsoever? She's obviously not someone you want to be friendly with. If the council has decided they want you to apologize, do it. And then never speak a word to her again. IF she continues to bother you after…

in baking, you need the yolks more than the whites, except when you're trying to add AIR to the batter, so in the instance of brownies, don't cut out the yolks; substitute the eggs with egg beaters and use apple sauce in lieu of oil.

Can I make a suggestion? Perhaps have the person choosing the book for the month pick 3 titles and have the club vote on it? I'm suggesting this because I'm really interested in joining because I love to read, but I would never read this book. It's not my kind of thing at all. So instead of having one person decide what…

I would say it depends on your body fat %. If you're very athletic, then your body fat should be between 20-25% which is right where you should be. I'm 5'9 and when I was 160 I was like 22%, so with your extra inch of height, I'd say you're right where you should be as far as weight is concerned. ~Lynn

what a heart warming story.... to know that they've been thinking of you as much as you've been thinking of them and to finally have found each other. Your wife's concerns are completely understandable and expected in such a situation. All you can do is continue to support her coping process by telling her how much you…

you could always try craigslist... you could get lucky and find someone trying to get rid of one for dirt cheap or even for free!!!!!

In actuality, since the majority of us on this site are looking to lose weight and improve health, the best practice is a combination of heavy weight/low rep, moderate weight/medium rep and low weight/high rep. This way you are working all three types of muscle fibers to best improve your body image. See article below for…

She should still be able to do something to tone it down. My hairdresser went too RED once in my highlights and was able to tone it down and then she put a rinse in all over. Of course - she has to WANT to help you fix her mistakes. Good luck and may I suggest - never trust her to try something new with you as she's…

Hi... there's been lots of discussion about how it's easier to be an early morning exerciser when you have a partner.... so, I'm wondering if there's anyone on the site in/near simi valley, ca who would want to be my early morning weekday workout partner....

down a bunch of water and chew gum anytime a craving or yearning hits... force feed yourself healthy food if that's what it takes. Just do whatever you can to resist the temptation. It will pass!!!! Keep your head up :-) We all encounter valleys of weakness.

haha - maybe I'm just a liberal independent woman, but I would say go to the gym straight from work and if hubby didn't want to wait for you to get home from the gym to eat dinner, then he could cook dinner for you. kind of harsh I guess...

yes, just cut 20 brownies in the pan. If you want to be as precise as possible, you could use a ruler to measure out the points where the cuts should go.... but an estimation would work.

OMG - I just looked at the website - I'm misinformed. The slush is waaaaaaay more calories. I dont' think I'll EVER have it again :-( 680 cals for the rt 44!!!!! It's insane I tell you!

so it's not such a bad thing, right? lol

ah - in n out - you know... it's actually one of the better fast food places based on nutritional value. Even the double double is only like 600 cals.

oh ya - the limeades are made from sprite!!! try the lemon berry slush - its' better for you!

There are two things I absoultey MUST have from sonic at least once a year: super sonic - mayo, lettuce and extra extra pickles; tator tots with cheese and vanilla dr. pepper foot long coney with mustard and onions; tator tots with cheese and rt. 44 lemon berry slush hmmmm.... how bad would it be to drive to anaheim…

ah... camp Pendleton... I was in the Navy so I know the base well... Tell him there's one in Anaheim - take 5 north - take 91 east - exit lemon. It's on the North side of the 91 on Lemon. It's only like 45 minutes from him in good traffic. :bigsmile:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: "how you get fired on your day off??????" Smokaaaay - Smokay - what you doin? Smokay - you takin a *kitten*??? :bigsmile: OH man - I can quote Friday all DAY long!!!!

Ok - if I were only able to choose one for the rest of my life, it would be: Up Close & Personal - love, achieving your dreams and pursuing the ultimate "story" Now - in reality since I don't have to choose JUST one... Black Hawk Down All SAW movies All Hostel movies Original Chainsaw Massacre Grease 1 & 2 Friday - "How…

I'm so jealous you live close to a Sonic!!! I grew up in the south and it's my fave, but the closest one is in Anaheim, CA - an hour 15 minutes away in good traffic - which translates to over two hours away on a good day lol I do make it there like once a year..... I guess it's a good thing it's so far away... limited…

anyone know how to get a photobucket image to display in forum? Until then, copy paste the link in your browser to see the picture of 1 lb of muscle vs 1 lb of fat and then figure out why when you gain muscle weight, you lose inches... http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s24/lapetiteruse/FatvsMuscle.jpg
