Man! OK I've been doing this for a week now. My weight has been steady. I got on the scale this morning and then this afternoon, just to see. I don't do this that often (get on the scale) AND since this morning I've put on 4lbs?!?! :mad: I feel tired and craving sugar big time! So I had 100 calorie pudding yum yum that…

I just made lunch and I hope I added it up right because it seems too good to be true on the calorie count anyway, this is it... 1 serving spinach 1/2 serving baby carrots 1 low fat string cheese (cut up in rounds to put in salad) 1/4 lb chicken brest (I cook it kinda dry with tons of spice! Cooked with non sitck butter…

Thanks! I'm taking a rest day today and it's awesome! :laugh: I still went on a 2 mile walk with my dog and will go on another brisk walk tonight, but I'm not doing a "workout". I don't ache as much, yay!:drinker:

OK I was on the whole "fitness kick" about 5 months ago. Last week when I put on my yoga pants just to wear around the house I realized the muffin top had returned :laugh: SOOOO I'M BACK! Well I've been exercising for just three days. OUCH am I sore! I do feel like my days are full of exercise. Every morning I try to do a…

YES! Cheese burger night with bacon! And I'll even cook the burger IN the bacon grease! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I took it for MONTHS with exercise and never saw any results. Just like everyone else here seems to say, just pricey caffeine.

Well I was allotted 600 EXTRA calories from exercise. Everything else is dead even for the day. Oh wait I have 170 more carbs to use also. But protein and everything else is dead on. I did eat some pasta when I was 16 over fat because I was soooo freakin hungry. I'm not hungry anymore but want to keep my fat down.

OK I just looked at my food "stuff" and it was the olive oil I cook with and salad dressing that did me in!

I still have 400 calories I could consume but I'm over my fat intake by 24. Do you think it's a biggie? It's not like I'm wolfing down cheese burgers or anything.... :laugh: Any ideas for great snacks with low fat?

You look awesome!

Hhahaha :laugh: I'm laughing because those moves do kill a healthy eattin plan don't they?

I think when people see someone who has gone down to an "unreal" size doesn't know really what to say. Instead of saying "you lost a little too much" they say "you look great". I used to be a size 0 and when I see pics of myself, I think I look sick. Don't get me wrong, that size is right for some people. You just keep on…

My husband is in the military and deployed at the moment. I've noticed when he's here I gain a few pounds. Well I think it's because I eat different than him. When he's here we eat the same meals together. When he's gone I eat alot of veggies, fish, chicken, healthy snacks, etc.... When he's here we tend to eat a lot more…

Thanks everyone, I guess I needed reassurance that it's ok to rest :smile: And I think I hurt my knee worse than I thought a few days ago, I know I need to stop pushing it because it will just make it worse.

So I've been working my hiney off :laugh: I've noticed the past few days of exercise have just been ok for me. I don't feel like I'm getting all I can out of it and parts of my body actually feel weeker. I always hear it's important to have "rest" days from exercise, but how important is it?

I love green tea. They also make different flavors. If you want something sweet, pomegranate it a great flavor they make. My favorite brand is bigelow because it's easy to find with lots of variety. I brew it my self and add 4 packets of sweet and low to an entire pitcher. I keep it in the refrig so I can always have…

So I've been on this whole yoga kick, and it's great! But I think my body is getting used to the same routine :yawn: So I'm really going to push my arms and abs today. I'm only going to do 20 mins of yoga, and not the same workout I've been following. I feel like my body is getting used to my "tricks". :laugh: So I'm going…

I agree with songbyrd.... is that enough calories? Sounds like you're pretty active even before you exercise!

I work out at home, I admit it's hard to get going! Most of the time I tell my self, "get off your butt and get going!!!" Then I just do it. Usually the first 10-15 mins of my workout I'm thinking about watching a movie or doing something other than exercise :laugh: I never thought of it as a reward system, but almost once…

Hummm, maybe you should see your doctor? Being that tired could be stress, or something bigger. I find when I'm really tired I need more carbs...lol not a good diet tip, sorry. If you feel like all you do is eat sleep and clean, maybe you need "you" time. Stress doesn't have to mean you can't make your house payment, your…

I've been readinig up on this... there's some mixed views. They say your body can burn 200-500 extra calories right before and during your period. That would explain the hunger. I personally think it's true. Small snacks like apples and peanut butter may offset your "sweet" cravings. During this time I prefer slow…

Most of my fat is from raw almonds... hahaha I love 'em! No junk food, sodas, juice, or anything like that. I pretty much only drink water, green tea with sweet and low, and sometimes a beer or two. So I guess it's not "bad" fat... IDK

I'm eatting too much fat according to my food log... blah! My calories aren't high at all, they never even go over. Since my exercise "life style" began I've gone down from size 9 to 7 (juniors sizes). I do a lot more toning work outs than cardio. At this point I'm trying to get toned and if I lose some pounds in the…

Lavender, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood, thyme, etc.... I love "earthy" sents

Haha, I like how the big one looks like he's/she's giving the new pup the "I'm in charge" look. Too cute!

:happy: I just want to feel good! I'm with you on this one. Keeping too close of an eye on numbers can really play with your mind!

You look GREAT! Seeing your before and after gives me hope of reaching my goals, thanks.:bigsmile:

Haha, IDK??? I guess as long as you're doing good on calories, fat and carbs, that's what matters most right? :smile:

Haha, that's why I do it! I just rinse off after :wink:
