True but everything in moderation, and I like other sources for my healthy fats that taste sooooo much better (almond butterrrrrrr yum, and avocado w/ cilantro drives me wild, pistachios...etc :) ) So to stay in my macros as close as possible I use egg whites and enjoy my healthy fats elsewhere where flavor is ...imo…

. :) .

Trust me you will get SOOOOO sick of it. I still eat egg whites like 5 days a week but I don't look forward to it, no matter what veggies or flavors get mixed in. The benefit is the protein without the fat of course :) I have recently started putting protein shake (strawberry) into steel cut oatmeal and that tastes great.…

Your rock!

The right and good shoes for every exercise I do. Zumba shoes don't mix with running or they'll be too stretched. My running shoes need more support than zumba. My trail running shoes need more grip and my hiking shoes are different too. Comfortable shoes!

That's sooo inaccurate for 3 egg whites...and no 3 egg whites would not be a large volume and would fit around your hand depending on hand size. I use liquid egg whites and do 6 tbl most days - it's about 50 calories and 10 g of protein and about the same as 3/8 of a cup.

Then get almond or coconut milk. Ya'll are full of excuses. Gah I've had enough for the day.

I am not sure how attractive it'd be to wear a HRM during that :)

You look like not heavy in your picture so I don't know how much results you're gonna have :) I lost a total of about 71 lbs so far. Sorry not many pics, the one in my profile is around 150 lbs. Starting at 202 I lost around 15 walking and with small food changes, before I started zumba. 185-160: My sole 2 focuses were…

I've been meaning to try Siggi's :) Thanks for the endorsement

I think you guys are talking about the same thing differently and are getting confused. The fit2fat number gives him a static number to eat each day, to maintain, even if he didn't exercise that day. It assumes that the exercise the day before or after will cover the lack of need for 3515 on the day "off"/days "off". MFP…

OHHH PS I am fine with Fage but my daughter and husband thing it's disgusting. They will eat chobani or liberte though. Also, for lunch you can get frozen greek yogurt. Ciao Bella makes a great one!

I too tasted it wayyyy back when it first came out and I assure you it's better now, MUCH better!!!! Now I don't like the dannon light fit greek as suggested many time because of the artificial sweeteners. YES it's less calories but I prefer natural. I do eat lots of chobani non-fat, liberte, and yopa only if it's free…

The article was fascinating but limited in scope. I find the whole argument of clean vs. junk to be more of a psychological one (if not physical where we don't have definitive wide spread studies.) It's kind of like the Dave Ramsey plan. Dave's a widely listened to personal financial guy on the radio with the focus of…

I want my rear legs glutes to look great in a bikini. I can wear one now b/c my stomach and arms are 'okay' but my back of my legs aren't pretty with clothes off. Working on it. As for goal clothes....all of my old clothes that I wanted to fit into either fit or are too big and I had to get rid of them. Some I can't seem…

Arrowhead puffed kamut or puffed corn with a dash of stevia and bit of banana.

Yay. That made me smile.

HAHAHAHA this too :) I worry about it being an addiction.

Vegetarian here but only started really noticing my macros 3 months ago: To meet my 25% protein (I'd go for 30 if not vegetarian)....and I don't always make it.... 1. I have egg whites every morning. Maybe once a week I"ll mix in real eggs for a quiche or easier omlette. I may skip this one day a week. I wont lie, I am…

Yeah the healthier I eat the less I eat this stuff anyways. I see a few treats on there I occasionally buy. (V8, Healthy Choice and Hellman's for once a year homemade yum yum sauce as no good Hibachi in Phoenix!!!)

You're not running the whole time you're running intervals at your pace. So for my daughter who just started running she literally runs 20 seconds then walks 40 seconds the whole time :) I run 4 min walk 30 seconds and my husband runs 3 min and walks 1 min. It's really at your pace. you work UP to the long runs on the…

Maybe it'd be best to see a dr.....

I used this to get ready for my first 1/2 and it worked great http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/half_marathon.html He does the training plans for the Disney marathons I timed 2:27 which for a first attempt I thought was pretty good, esp b/c the schedule was 13 weeks and I did it in 9.

I tried it but I burn about 1/2 the calories of a class in person.

Wonderful!!! It's soooo much better when you're on a journey together!

What he said. I've been doing the above for 3 months about and it really has changed my shape (and still dropped a little weight). The only thing I would change from what I did at first (about 1.5 years of weight loss and MFP) was not getting enough protein. I wouldn't change anything else I did at first though which was…

You obviously have not been to a kick *kitten* instructors class. I will admit MANY instructors are easy but 1 out of 10 has that something special that will make your legs burn and cry. That being said I do lift and squat and lunge with weights in power, certain zumba instructors can still burn me. I can only think of 4…

Specifically for Zumba, I started wearing an HRM after about 9 months of zumba and had already lost significant weight, and was burning around 600 calories sometimes 700 a class. Now over a year later a "Great" class will burn me 500 calories, an average class around 400, zumba toning around 325, and the "low impact" class…

Yeah I agree with this. I don't really eat 'real' bread that often anymore the sodium is insane. Lunch meat sodium is nuts. Their cheese isn't fat free and is also high in sodium just like the dressings. Their vegetarian options are limited, some have veggie burgers but they have more fat than protein. In short, if we're…

The free -.99 ones after coupons/deals so usually Shick 5 Hydro (mens) Gillette power (mens) Shick womens and Venus. Yes you can get these for about .99/e with coupons using couponing deals. I'll go up to 2.50 if it has multiple cartridges. I prefer 5 blades so I use mens most the womens are back ups.
