It is a little boring, but I made grilled chicken, quinoa, and steamed veggies. Dessert was greek yogurt and fresh strawberries. I made enough to have extra to take for lunch at work tomorrow.

Keep going and trying. You will be able to finish as you get more fit. I would suggest trying a few different classes to find what you like. The Y usually offers a variety of classes for a variety of fitness levels, some are specifically for beginners. Be proud of yourself for a good start.

Excellent advice!

I use the 1liter narrow mouth. BPA free and unbreakable.

I drink Unsweet almond milk daily. It is low cal and agood source of calcium.

Even though my intake is pretty consistent, my exercise level changes day to day depending on what I am doing. One day is not a good indicator of anything. The average over the long term means a lot more.

I thought white wheat was a different variety of wheat. In theory you can get whole white wheat flour according to the website "the Gracious Pantry.' I would carefully read the paackage looking to see of it is whole white wheat.

When people ask me what I did to lose weight I tell them. They really hate it when I tell them that I work out 6 days a week. Their answer is almost always the same "i could never do that!" I never said they had to, I just told them what I did.

I lost 45 pounds with WW and kept it off. It is a good plan. Some people do better with the support and accountability of meetings. There is something about knowing you will have to step on a scale someone else sees weekly. It is geared more to people new to weightloss. I stop by to weigh just often enough to keep my Free…

Asics gel.

Not too bad at my gym yet. I usually go at 0500, so I only see the very serious that early. The rush will start next weeek and go for a month maybe two. It is nice when some of the new ones stick around, but most don't.

Sounds like a good plan along with a visit to your MD to get your BP under control NOW. The high blood pressure is serious business. Diet and exercise will be part of a comprehensive plan to get your BP under control and may help with your blood sugar as well. Please see your MD asap. I am sorry, but the nurse in me comes…

My goto treat is fresh berries with greek yogurt. I also take fresh fruit and veggies to snack on at work.

Please check with your MD. I would also ask the MD about the wisdom of a 1000cal diet. He/she will probably want you to eat more especially if you are breastfeeding.

Congratulations!, you have so much to be proud of!

I feel best with 50%carb, 30%protein and 20%fat. I do keep it pretty clean to feel my bes and be happiest.

I have tried low carb in the past and gained it all back. I lost 45 pounds not on a low carb plan and have done well. I do eat carbs, but keep it pretty clean overall. I love fruits, veggies and whole grains.

So far I have recovered four paitents from general anesthesia. I should recover three or four more before I go home at eight. Luckily everybody has been nice and stable, even my two kids didn't cry too much. I have now jinxed myself and can prepare for an ICU crash and burn.

Your list looks like the clean I try to achieve. There are as many definitions of clean as people who define it. I just do the best I can to eat the best I can. I am always working to eat cleaner.

I am 44 and sttill have a pair of jeans from high school. Those jeans are now too big by about a size or two. I love trying them on. My Mom thinks i am too small, but I just don't care. I am normal.

Congeal or congealed, especially when used to describe something edible. It makes me think of a blood clot.

Another bad kid checking in.

I work with Jerry Garcia. He is from the Phillipines. I used to work with Michael Jackson.

People don't pay as much attention to others as we give them credit for. They are more focused on themselves. Keep up the good work and they will notice. It takes a lot longer than we want for people to notice a change for the better, but it will happen.

You burn way more than your BMR. You can calculate your TDEE to estimate your total daily energy expenditure. That number minus your net should be your deficit.

We are renovating and have been eating out a lot because the kitchen is off limits right now. Sat we went to my favorite restaurant and I seriously over did it. I can't even guess how many calories I ate because it is a small gourmet place. I did much better yesterday eating and did lots of yardwork. Today eating WILL be…

I would keep one item. It will shock you to try them on later. When I went to WW I wore the same pair of shorts every week until they wouldn't stay up any longer. It is niec to have a tangible measure of your weightloss.

In general if I am in a hurry I grill my protein, steam my veggies and make quinoa. I try to make a large batch of some grain(quinoa, farro, or brown rice) on a day off and keep it in the fridge ready to go. Grilled protein over bagged salad works. Eggbeater omelette is quick. The crockpot can be good as well.
