How small is she? Walk her for a bit, then carry her and run... ;)

I usually find that it is most accurate to weigh everything (pasta, veggies, meat, rice, etc...) raw! However, it also depends how you are recording it. If you are using the nutrition facts off of the package, weight it raw. If you are choosing chicken as an already-listed item, them be sure to read it (they often say…

Chicken with Broccoli and Steamed White Rice

dry cereal is always good too! :)

Yogurt is a great one for me... just plain greek (more protein) with a bit of honey added. Lately, I usually add all bran buds as well Granola Bar Baked Pitas with Salsa Butterless popcorn wheat crackers with light laughing cow cheese triangle apple dipped in peanut butter banana dipped in nutella Tea with a bit of milk &…

You are correct - the diet pop has no calories, so should not be going against your dieting. However, I remember reading somewhere they the aspartame in them actually make you hungry, where water would make you feel full. I used to drink 2 diet drinks a day as well (coke, root beer, etc...), but decided that it's not…

Try putting your weight training under a cardiovascular activitiy - just look up weights.

In my opinion, all you have to do is adjust your favourite recipes. Some of my favourite foods are lasagna and pizza. Therefore, I now made chicken pita pizza, and wheat lasagna rolls - both for under 500 calories for a satisfying dinner! ;) So - what are some of your favourite foods?? Curry chicken/lentils/chickpeas on…

Use all of the same ingredients for the inside of the wrap, but use a large lettuce leaf to wrap it in! ;)

Just be happy with yourself that you are deciding to do this before you are obese (like so many of us were at the beginning of this journey!) Keep your eye on the prize, and set goals for yourself! ;) Best of Luck!

Exercise increases your calories for the day, and therefore all of the macros that makes up those calories...

In my opinion, eating 1400 cals per day and burning 200-400 calories a day sounds pretty healthy! Enjoy the weight loss while you can, as it will eventually slow down...

Here are some higher fibre food options for you: All Bran Buds Cereal (throw a handful in your yogurt) Oatmeal Whole Wheat Bread/Pasta All Bran Bars Fibre 1 Bars (peanut ones are delish!) Vita Top Muffins Lots of fruits & veggies are high in Fibre!

Try some of the following foods as a change: Unsalted roasted almonds Yogurt and Cheese if you can keep things cool Fruit Veggies & Dip Dry Bran Cereal can be a great grab with coffee/tea Trail Mix Dried Fruit Wheat creackers (Ryvita) and salsa Tuna & Melba Toast

I probably spent about $40-$50 on candy this year... I bought a mixture of smaller items and made little pumpkin shaped loot bags to give away!! ;)

So sorry to hear Jen! ;( I would definitely say to go back to your maiden name...

FANTASTIC!! ;) Keep up the great work!!

I know that it's always up to a person how commited they are. However, I have seen this kind of situation in the past that has worked: Get every member to pay $5 - then 50% can go to the person who loses the most percentage of weight, and 25% to both 2nd and 3rd place winners. Maybe start it right away and end it right…

Definitely a tough one - but cheese & veggies may work! ;)

Absolutely fabulous work Jess - You look stunning! ;) Can't wait to see the final pictures of when you hit your goal! ;)

Making fruit skewers is fun, and you can even add a chocolate or yogurt fruit dip to it for your guests if you like. Wheat crackers and vegetables with hummus Cut some wheat tortillas into wedges, spray with a small amount of coking spray, and bake them for 8-10 minutes. Serve with salsa. Make mini pita pizzas with bar-b-q…

Go with Kix, and use the calories saved for a small treat later on in the day! ;)

I always put the reading off of my Heart Rate Monitor...

I was definitely scared at the beginning. I was also worried about trying each new class at the gym. However, after going a few times, you will get used to it, and even start looking forward to it - Imagine! ;) Best of luck to you! ;)

I assume that you are talking about the Les Mills classes? If so, I regularly do the step, pump, combat and attack classes. You are correct about the attack having more jumping involved - but you could always do it and take the lower options for those specifid moves?!? I have never tried Vive before. I assume that it's a…

In my opinion, anything that is healthy for you can only be a "good" obsession! Besides, I personally feel that I will eventually lose my motivation to go to the gym so often (especially with the winter coming!), so why not stay commited while I feel like it?!? And to answer your question, I do not have the energy to go to…

I've been using mine for years, and it works like a charm! ;) http://www.starfrit.com/Home/Products/KITCHEN/KITCHEN%20GADGETS/Kitchen%20Scales/93016.aspx?sc_lang=en-CA I live in Canada and got it on sale from Canadian Tire for $10

I'm no expect, but my guess would be to increase your weight to include what you are carrying in the vest... Good Luck! ;)
