  • Circuit training - especially if you already do the other stuff at home. Upper body machines one day, lower body the next day.
  • I take my 32oz mug black with one splenda (which I will switch over to truvia when I run out) - if I want a change, I'll mix in with my regular brew either 1 scoop of mocha coffee, or, my fave, chocolate raspberry truffle (which I just found out has been discontinued, sad day for me). I rarely drink flavored coffee, so…
  • Personally, I rarely eat dried fruit because it tends to be much higher in sugar. The cinnamon covered almonds don't sound too bad. I eat almonds all the time, and I put cinnamon in my coffee. I don't remember exactly what I had read, but cinnamon is very good for you and changes how the body metabolizes sugar. So i would…
  • Haha, I go constantly! There have been times, I go, get back to my desk, and minutes later need to go again! I try to drink at least 100oz of water a day, and tend to do most of it at work - I just look at the bright side - I'm burning calories running (and I mean literally running!) back and forth to the bathroom! :smile:
  • Omg - I can't believe I'm going to admit this.... even my best friend doesn't know this.... but I am totally OBSESSED with Shorty Rossi, from Pit Boss. I don't know what it is about him, but even I think it's creepy, lol
  • Wow - I just fell in love... with, like... 7 different guys...

  • I agree totally! I quit soda exactly 1 month ago and don't miss it at all. I went back to black coffee, 1-2 cups in the morning, water the rest of the day, and I don't miss it at all!
  • I always go over my suger but I don't worry about it because I know it's coming from fruits and veggies and not soda and ice cream :)
  • I bought a shedding rake, and I take the dog outside to do this because once i'm done, there is easily enough fur to cover a whole other dog! Once i get him back inside, I use the vacuum hose, and vac him. He actually seems to like it.
  • I need to drop about 15 lbs to be at 135. Also, I see everybody saying how hard it is for women to build muscle, and I tend to build "noticeable" muscle very easily. I imagine that's mostly due to having a slight hormone imbalance
  • I should specify the reason my trainer and I are aiming for a specific number is because I power lift, and I want to be in a specific weight class to compete.
  • I have a picture of me in a teeny, tiny bikini at eye level on my fridge. Huge motivation for me. I totally think it works!.
  • Yogurt makes me gag, but I mix 1 c frozen mixed berries with 1/2 cup vanilla fat free yougurt with 1 c Trop 50 oj and 2 tbs ground flax seed. Sometimes I add half a banana. I can't taste the yogurt at all. I have't had one of these in awhile, so I don't remember the exact calorie count, but I know it's over 200 (closer to…
  • Zinc! You can get Vit C with Zinc.
  • My guess is your body is adjusting. Make sure you're getting enough fiber and drinking lots of water.
  • I'm a big fan of throwing on my mp player and just dancing around. I usually burn anywhere from 250-300 calories (I use an HRM) in a half hour, and it's kind of fun :smile:

  • Has it been paired before? If not, you need to get your headset in pairing mode, then make the connection? The password/code when pairing is always 0000
  • Welcome! Feel free to add me if you need some friends :flowerforyou:
  • I just saw on the Dr Oz show this week about the benefits of taking apple pectin. When you take it before a meal it expands and allows your body to breakdown (?) food slower so you feel fuller much longer. He says 500mg 3x a day before your meals. Just a thought :flowerforyou:
  • JJ feel free to add me
  • Whey protein is easily absorbed by the body. It doesn't necessarily benefit weight loss, but does help build lean muscle and speed recovery times.
  • Almonds, Almonds, Almonds!!!! Fairly high in calories and healthy fat. Yum!
  • I just glanced at your diary about a week back - sugar and sodium... lots of water to flush the sodium (I personally drink at least 3 litres a day) and look for low sugar options... I stopped eating bananas all together when I saw how high the carbs and sugar are. I don't eat yogurt just because I don't like the taste, but…
  • There are two things I hate seeing at the gym... girls with a full face of makeup and girls with perfect hair! When I leave the gym, my make up is off, my mascara is smeared (i go right from work) and my hair is dripping and all over the place! I may not be pretty, but at least I looked like I worked! So just get over it!!…

  • I fix my chocolate craving (usually..) with sliced strawberries, unsweetened cocoa powder and a little bit of reddi whip. It's pretty good when you mix it up and the whip cream gets all chocolatey. Yum!

  • I'm going throught this right now, and freaking out because I am getting on a plane in a week and a half and don't want to have "it" while on vacation. Frustrating!
