I agree with the other posts - stretch more, keep going it gets better, eat good protein... I would also add to not be afraid to take something over the counter for the muscle soreness (ibuprofen has anti inflammatory properties and is my go to for muscle aches) - some soreness is unavoidable. It does get better though - I…

Once you're married HE is supposed to be your support system.

I have a picky eater too, and she is like her daddy when it comes to food... if it taste good she will keep eating! I make sure there are plenty of appropriate snack options in the house (cheese, fruit, 100 cal granola bars, apple sauce, ect...) 90% of the time there isn't a junk food option so if she wants a snack she has…

I like to sautee them with lemon pepper seasoning.. yummy!

My mouth is watering for this! Love the idea!

olive garden has a parmesian crusted tilapia dinner that is only like 590 calories... inlcudes the fish, side of pasta and roased veggies. Pretty yummy!

. amen

Have you tried breaking into them gradually - like a modified version? try googling for different versions that have less resistance than the old fashioned rocky version until you build back up a bit of your abdominal strength. One way to modify is by laying out flat (not bending knees) and lead with your arms (like you…

I'm on level 3 of the shred right now and I have lost several inches all over my body. If you combine the shred with a calorie deficit you will lose some weight and thin out for sure... I have lost about 6 pounds while doing the shred (thus far) along with 2 inches in my belly and I'm not done yet. You won't loose the…

Giving up soda for someone that drinks that much is HUGE! My husband gave it up and lost 20 pounds in 6 months without doing anything else.. he didn't give it up for weight reasons, but it was an unexpected benefit!

Lots of veggies - steamed or roasted with every meal.

So happy for you! Sleep apnea is very scary and very under diagnosed in obese individuals. Losing weight is a CURE for a lot of people if the excess weight on the chest and neck are contributing factors. Thanks for sharing!

I would encourage you to NOT change your regular diet before you see the doctor - it might alter any labs or testing they may want to do.

Perhaps you aren't actually constipated - I would suggest you see your physician. The symptoms you describe could be an IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) symptom or it could be something else going on. With all of the remedies you have already tried you should have found relief if simple constipation was your only issue - any…

I use chicken a lot, and it can get expensive, but what I have started doing is buying whole chickens and boiling them (I pour off all the water when it's done cooking and let it cool) then I skin it and pick off all the meat and dice it up - I get anywhere from 4-6 cups of diced chicken for around 5 bucks (even cheaper on…

Log in here all the time! There are so many people on here that you can never feel alone in your journey.

go to allrecipes.com and under the ingredient search type in pork steak... it comes up with 10 recipes. LOVE that website, has nutrition info for it's recipes too.

I completely agree... detoxes are a hoax. Your liver and kidneys do a fine job all on their own... but if you think you need to - by all means go for it!

. the trick with the natural stuff is to set it upside down after you get it home for a day or so and let the oil work it's way back to the top- or in this case the bottom... makes it much easier to stir.

What an interesting thread... I think that there are some extremist out there that have ruined this for all of the private and self conscious breastfeeding moms out there. No, I don't need to see your boob and toddler plopped on the table at the McDonald's because it's your right to feed your child! People need to be…

I agree with most of the other posters... It takes while to get the hang of this eating a certain number of calories business, but it is all about planning. You have to plan for when you get hungry and make sure you eat at those times ( getting over hungry leads to over eating), but only give yourself good stuff to eat.…

1st: I never called anyone lazy or intended to give that impression. I brought up my situation only in an effort to show the poster that you can work full time and go to school (which is what she was saying she couldn't do). Lots of people HAVE to do exactly that but I never said anyone was lazy or not trying hard enough.…

Nobody has said it so I will... TOOTSIE POPS!

Interesting that you think I have it "as well as I do" at what point did I say anything I was doing was easy, or that I had it well? Don't assume that just because I'm succeeding that I'm not suffering and sacrificing everyday to do it... I would say give up the volunteer work so you can work full time and get health…

Poor you - I work, attend NURSING school and provide insurance for myself and my two children... It CAN be done, and it isn't the governments job to make it easy on you. PS... I also carry at 3.8 GPA and will graduate in May.

Amen!

that's the response I expected... try researching yourself not just blindly believing a bunch of banter about a subject from the viewpoint of who know who. find the bill you said "they" were in "fact" passing and read it for yourself... Don't be a sheep.

I would love to see your reputable source of information...

I hope you enjoy Canada... It isn't uncommon for your generation to not appreciate the gifts this country has to offer. Just the fact that you can speak negatively of your country without consequence is a gift provided to you by the very country you speak poorly of - ironic...

I am excited for you! The best of luck!
