Sounds great, pretty close to what I do as well. I workout 5-6 days a week at the gym 40 mins of cardio each time. Then about an hour of weights. I take 2 rest days and do yoga at home on those days.

I make everything really simple, mainly because I don't want to spend all morning in the kitchen making a shake :wink: I use... chobani greek yougrt (Half of the container) frozen strawberries or frozen mixed fruit, one serving size (I found the lowest carb ones I could) 4 ounces of water one scoop whey protien The only…

I agree with Cdavis, they all work together. I find that if I just look at my protien, fat and carbs during the day I never go over on calories.

I'm doing a high protien low carb diet. Not losing any hair either. Stress can cause hair loss also. Last year my hair was falling out in handfulls!!!!!!!!! It was awful! Yeah, I'd go see a Dr if you're really worried about it, just to rule out any health reasons.

I didn't care for it the first time I did it. I just did a weirdo video. I gave it a second try watching on demand also :happy: I discovered I do like it. I found what types I like and I'm amazed at how fast the body adapts to yoga :heart:

Yey!!!!! :happy: I can't wait to fit back into mine :laugh:

I'm losing about a half a pound a week :grumble: Unlike most on this site I didn't lose lots of weight when i first started. I actually gained 2 pounds! That was a huge knock down to my self esteem! I'm starting to be ok with the slow weight loss. I figure if I keep losing a half pound a week I'll have that bikini body by…

I read the first chapter and it pissed me off, just to be blunt :laugh: I think the book is written both rude and condescending. I do like meat... LOL :laugh: Not that I have anything against anyone who lives a vegan lifestyle, just that the book wasn't for me. To each their own I guess.

I only use it on days I work out as well. I'm not just mixing up protien shakes and laying around the house :laugh: My husband warned me I'd gain alot of weight if I didn't workout hard. I am at the gym almost 6 days a week, lifting weights everytime. For me, personally, I had to have more protien. I could have ate 2000…

I saw it at Wal-Mart, but I'm sure you can pick it up at any drug store or GNC

#1, not sure about the rash. Seems like maybe it's a heat rash. You may want to try getting a powder, like gold bond and rubbing it on your thighs before you workout. Only if it's heat rash though. If you only get it when you are sweaty and working out, it might be heat rash. Or maybe wear lose fitting bottoms if you are…

Well thanks for the tips everyone. I made my first protien shake today: 1 scoop whey protein a few ice cubes 1/2 cup water 2/3 cup frozen strawberries 3 ounces greek plain yogurt Ended up being 250 calories, 26 carbs (eeeeee :huh: ), 2 fat, 36 protien, 2 fiber, and 95 sodium. Kept me full through my workout and untill…

Well I took the test :happy: We shall see what happens. Mine said I should be 20-50-30. Maybe that's why I break down and just eat a whole steak somedays :laugh: Really, I was feeling kinda crappy and all I wanted was a one pound steak to myself. Then I felt guilty, like you're not supposed to eat a steak when you are…

I would weigh in but not count it as well. This way you will know how your body acts. I typically gain 3-5 pounds! :noway: The first time I saw it I was quite upset. Now I know, when aunt flo comes it's just my water weight.

:laugh: MV I'm too cold for the walk! LOL He needs the car, most days anyway. I get it once a week. Part of my weight gain is from being able to do what ever I wanted for a year and a half (husband was deployed) now having to totally change it. People don't really think about it, but when the way you live is drasticly…

I love pop corn because it does take time to eat :happy: I just got to thinking, maybe I should buy some pomegranets, lost of time to peel and pick out those little fruit seeds! :laugh:

I'm no help. One of my fave fatty meals was (I say was because I no longer eat it) Ham hauks and beans!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo cheap, soooo good, sooooo fatty... :laugh: I must google this refried bean thing of yours without oil! I love beans and would also like to know more recipies for them :love:

I don't think you have a eatting disorder :flowerforyou: Up untill I was 23 I weighed under 100 pounds and just couldn't gain weight! I alway's wanted a "curvy" body and lots of people gave me just awful hurtful comments all the time, "do you eat? are you on crack? you must have an eatting disorder..." Then at age 26 I…

LMAO tanz, my husband can do that dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me laugh every time!

I change ALOT! One day it's granola and salad, next it's steak and potatoes, some days soup, seafood... ect. I change it all the time. Not a fan of breakfast food. I enjoy eggs and meat, sure I eat a granola bar during the day, but to eat the same food every day would kill me.

Eat a slice of pizza :tongue: I totally understand trying to reach your calorie goals and not go over at the same time. (Joking about the pizza, but I did have left over pizza for breakfast :laugh: ) I'm not a sweets person, I really don't eat high fat. I mostly want "real food" if that makes sence? Maybe you could try a…

It was since childhood. I used to eat raw hamburger meet! Everynow and then if I smell raw beef my mouth waters and I want to eat it! Maybe I'm a sick-o :laugh: People have always said maybe it's because I need more iron. Since now I take a multi vitamin I don't crave it as much. I'm also a little weird when it comes to…

Since I've been exercising I crave beef, but not the lean kind :laugh: And I'm not a fan of ground anything. I'll admit it, I love love love very rare beef steaks!!!!!!!!! I can eat raw beef! I don't, but if I go to a asian restaruant sometimes they have a lightly seared beef which is yum! I treat myself to beef once or…

People, I know you don't know me, but he was really really in shape! Very muscley, but was going back into the military after a 5 year break in service and needed to lose a few pounds in a week to make weigh in. Yeah, he worked his butt off, but I'm wodering if the extra "heat" around that area worked. This is the worst…

Choco your lunch sounds yummie :drinker: OK I had a great gym day :happy: I burned 840 calories! I did 3 different cardio machines 10 mins each, an hour of weights, then 15 mins of cardio at the end! AND I got to sit in the sauna for the first time in a week. The one at the gym broke. They say people keep putting water on…

:flowerforyou: Yey for you! I have those days on the eliptical as well, about 10 mins in I start thinking, "what the heck am I doing, I feel like I'm going to die" :laugh: Great job staying the course and looking forward to doing it all over again :wink:

Same ol' same ol' here. Worked out today and had a great upper body workout, tomorrow it's leggs :drinker: I've just decided to quit logging my calories. It's made me crazy!!! I still wear my HRM to get an idea of how many calories I'm burning. I've never had a problem wanting sweets untill I started logging my calories…

The sportline watch I bought does have a watch. I got the 910 model (was made for women) but I would think the men's also has a bult in watch. Mine was $50.

Vrdz, great job on your run :drinker: I'm not a runner and I admire people who can do it. (kills my knees) Well, I went to the gym today, tomorrow is a rest day. I didn't push weights that hard today because I did yesterday. I'm still hungry after luch, so I'm off to find something to fill my demanding tummy :laugh: Have a…

Stacy, HRM's can be bought anywhere, I got mine at the PX, but they probably sell them at any sporting goods store, maybe even wal-mart or target. I wanted my the same day I was starting to think about it, so I picked mine up at a store, but if you shop online you will have a larger selection and price range to choose…
