TYSM I am saving this page - !

If that's addiction I have some serious issues, no it seems fine to me. Honestly I wish I had more rest days, sometimes I skip my rest day to support my daugther or husband and encourage them to exercize and I regreat it. As long as you're having that rest day you should be fine...it's more a question of your mental state,…

You are close to the edge of underweight, and need to build muscle to lose those inches, not get "lighter". I'd suggest more weight training, I love core class for my tummy if you have a gym. If not look for workouts that focus on core, up your calories while reducing sugar and increasing your protein. That's pretty…

The one where he was homeless was SO Inspiring.

I wouldn't smoke to lose weight. I wouldn't use a diet pill either, I want my accomplishments to be mine, not the product of a drug or liposuction. If your question is would the drug inhibit weight loss....I doubt it as many patients with nausea use it so they can have an appetite and keep food down. Use the weed money for…

I'm having trouble believing you love or respect yourself very much reading that post. Does your college have a free mental health clinic, I'd work with someone towards learning to leave this creap and OMG DO NOT HAVE sex with him. Do not get pregnant and stuck with that disgusting person the rest of your life.

Ummmm it's not FREE if you're paying for it with taxes, basically taxes are a way to remove consumer choice and spend your money - if you don't like the product, you hope you have enough for something in addition because there are no refunds. ALSO here in the US many of us pay much more than 30% of taxes and no we're not…

Hehehe tough noogies hubby he's not being supportive or open minded.

Wouldn't it have been nice to have had your tax pennies to put towards that 100K price tag? Competition breeds results, competition between children and between schools. Why is Harvard or Yale so much more desirable than most public universities? Because they compete and offer results. The public school system stiffles…

Really, are you bragging about the efficiency and effectiveness of the US Public education system???? :laugh: We tend to spend more per student and get crappier results.

Yay!!!! (PS This is why I wear my HRM at silly times :) )

I very very rarely (when I was being successful ... which I am again but I am sick atm) took a day totally "off". Maybe 2 a month when i was being completely successful. BUT I would have "light" days where all I would do is take the dog for a light walk, even though it's not the same level of effort, I got UP....the…

Hehe yeahhhh I only go there for a rare special occasion like when i needed heirloom small tomatoes and Sprouts was out.

I totally get what you're saying and sorry some people are incredibly oversensitive. Honestly, I read stuff all the time that bugs me a little, but rarely do I take the time to respond over something trivial. Regardless I love it. The difference for me was to stop trying to lose weight and deciding I was going to do it and…

As a type 1 be prepared to drop your insulin on that kind of diet. If you go cold turkey and are eating upwards of 200 carbs a day now you may find yourself chugging sugar for the lows as your body is not used to that kind of diet. As we have slowly changed my husbands diet over the past 2 years (and added a lot more…

I am a hybrid of a health nut and former super coupon gal so I tend to go to one store (healthy store) for what we eat and other stores (sometimes 3-5) for things to either A) donate B) that aren't edible but hygeine related or C) you could buy at the health store ore get cheaper at the not health food store with a good…

How can a place not have anything remotely healthy? It's more common than you think. I ate out ALL last summer while I was in a hotel with my husband and WOW. I learned where to AVOID fast. However, if this is a one time thing it sounds like you've seen many options to modify what you remove from a 'meal' set up, however,…

Warning somewhat controversial: Expecting to buy gifts for each other "from" the kid can be awkward down the road when you guys start dating or even marrying other people. (At least it was for me as a kid). (Personal experience) I'm a child of mass repeated divorce and I have a child I inhereted in my husbands' divorce…

It's the state taxes that kill me, my husband worked in 3 different states last year...I want to CRY.

Yeah... you waited 4 weeks? Are you regular since that little cute baby, perhaps you're PMS weight is here based on that timing? Some months I gain more than others for it. Also it sounds like you're not eating your exercize calories and thus starving. If you're eating 1200 you're already at a deficit, so if you burn it…

Luna bars are more of a treat for me less protein (8g) less cal (170) and rasberry choco or peppermint are the only 2 I really like. The other day I found this odd one in a chocolate section I had never seen before and it's texture was good I tried the mint it was 10g Nugo Dark mint chocolate chip.

Don't give up chocolate, just give up milk chocolate :) Dark chocolate is good for you, I have some EVERY night to "mentally" cap that I'm done eating for the day (with coffee or tea).

My husband is a type 1 diabetic, he doesn't post, but I'm intimately aware of his daily exercize/food struggles if you want to add me or talk :) We have gotten his long term insulin cut in over 1/2 and reduced his short term meal insulin through diet and exercize...we're still reducing it even though the doctor said it…

Weight loss can make a huge difference, I don't know how much you lost but even 5 lbs can change - I could burn over 700 calories at my heaviest in zumba class, now I struggle to keep it over 500. Even the past 10 lbs has made a huge difference from getting 575-625 if I pushed it to now if I push it I can go maybe MAYBE…

If I have to estimate I go with the HIGHEST comparable item in the database or add 20% if there is only 1 appropriate estimate.

I do egg whites and fake morningstar sausage a lot. I also do edamame quite a bit, cottage cheese, yogurt (some people do greek I'm trying to get used to that...), nuts (although high calorie). Some of these are high in sodium and crimes to some people, I deal I guess. Sometimes I do a bar, I'm trying to move away from…

I wear my HRM to the circuit and to power classess and find I burn between 120-200 calories per 45 minutes ISH. It really depends on how heavy I let myself go and if I get a cardio burst. There is a weight thing in the cardio section, but its seriously subjective and not much as far as cardio calorie burn, however, I will…

http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/ This is pretty accurate w my HRM for a normal non toning class. I burn less in toning, but it's worth it :)

I'm not a hardcore runner, just ran my first 1/2 a few weeks ago (and yes I RAN at 2:27 ... I'm just a slow runner...which I'd like to change....I think I likely 'walked' about 1 mile of it), however, what i can tell you is I had to lessen my zumba training while training for running (as I have some squat happy…
