Thanks you guys!! I'll be trying all of those in the next few days.

How does everyone eat avocados? I usually have a texmex salad but I'm out of romaine or any lettuce for that matter. Any suggestions?? I have a bag of 5 in my fridge and I don't want them to go to waste.

Why do you think cow's milk is bad? just out of curiosity.. is it the hormones?

I usually just pour about 1/4 cup of a vinaigrette dressing that I have in a bag with two chicken breast. Low calorie, super easy and soooo tasty!!

This was a topic on the Doctors today. Jillian Michaels was on and they said that because there is less than one calorie in each spray the company is allowed to have 0 calories in the nutritional info. The problem is when people begin to over use the spray thinking that it is calorie free. In one bottle there is over 900…

me too... ....Please just be a power button, please just be a power button.. :laugh:

Come on here and begin to read a 13 page topic.. You may completely forget about supper, sleeping and breakfast tomorrow morning..

Haha.. I didn't think it would help much. It's all the advice I can give though.. Doesn't sound so impressive next to the manly posts about wattage and such.. :grumble: haha

Thanks for the advice!! I didn't eat the entire hotdog and 3/4 of the drink is sitting in my garbage can right now.. And Hotmomov4 I did tear a strip out of him when I got home.. really why did he get me so f***ing much.. juice would have been fine.. haha.. I wouldn't say that his mom was in competition with me, we both…

This is a really stupid reply but is there an extra power button. I have to do about 4 different things to get my treadmill to work..

So I went to Costco today with my boyfriend and his mom. I was having a great day, foodwise and otherwise, until we finished shopping. We got a cartload of healthy foods and paid and then decided to sit down at the very unhealthy fast food area. UGH.. My boyfriend went to get us drinks while I sat with his mom - who is…

You could always just measure it by weight or by cup (1/4 or 1/2) and look up the calories on here or another website.

I think I hate the scale more.. I actually like the department store mirrors that make you look skinny.. haha ignorance is bliss I guess.. And I especially hate Dr. Scales.. I know that I have clothes on and its not the morning but still 7 lbs more feels like a huge slap in the face.. haha.. side note.. When I had my…

I was just reading a post on losing weight in certain areas. A few years ago I lost abut 20lbs, it came off my chest, and legs mostly, a bit off my stomach too but it was still pretty soft compared to everywhere else. When I gained the weight back it came back in different places than I had it the first time - more in my…

I agree with all the stretching and yoga.. But I was just wondering if you cross your legs when you sit.. I found that when I practiced better posture it made a huge improvement.

I find this happens to me if I don't shower immediately after I work out.. Occasionally I do my cardio then sit around in my workout clothes for an hour - cleaning or doing homework - then I do my weights. I usually break out in the area on my back where the racerback of my sports bra would be..

I buy Kraft Natural Peanut Butter.. If I have it on toast, I like to add honey for sweetness.. Fun Fact: If you continually eat 3 or more Tablespoons of Peanut Butter a day you could eventually develop a peanut allergy.. Well at least my Biology Textbook said so.. :huh:

Ahhh.. I can't stop watching.. I can't stand Dr. Phil and I hate that I'm giving him the ratings for having the Octuplet Mom on but I can't stop watching.. I don't hate her and this isn't bash her or anything.. nor do i think she is the greatest person ever.. I have no opinion really.. I don't think I know enough about…

This is great advice.. I worked at as a barista last summer and you can order an even smaller cup - short (or what normal people call a small) - if you ask a barista what the smallest size is they are required to tell you that it's tall.. so don't ask, just order the short. Nonfat Tea misto's are another low calorie…

Haha.. I was wondering what the sales people where thinking.. "Wow, that looks great. Definitely the one.. Nope it's supposed to fit like that - it's the new style, all the brides are wearing it this season.. You'll be the most beautiful bride ever!" I should print this and show it to my friends who wish for larger…

I'm so glad I read this post. I have been so hungry in my morning classes lately - and campus food isn't really what I want to fill up on. I thought I was eating so much with my 250 to dare I eat 300 calories for breakfast.. I will definitely up my breakfast calories now.. I still have that fear that I will come across…

Add milk or milk products to your diet. Personally I like skim milk. You should have three servings a day - they say 3 servings help you lose fat lbs not muscle. I usually have only 2 glasses but it adds about 180 calories to my day.

I guess another different word would be Ice Tea.. I get stuck with actual iced tea when I order it in the States.. Up here it's sweetened and hardly has any tea taste.

When you finally get a turning light and the car in front stops mid intersection because they think that it is just a normal green light. It's a turning signal.. why would it be there if it had the same purpose as a green light.. it means it's safe to turn.. the on coming traffic has a red light not a green light.. Oh and…

My Boyfriend and I spend between $75 and $100 each month. We eat healthy, lean meats, veggies and lots of fruit. I use weekly sales and coupons to plan out our meals. We rarely though anything out and only buy what we know we will eat.

I usually lose weight the night after drinking. Occasionally it stays off too.. I'm starting to wonder why I don't drink more often now.. haha.. I have read that weight loss after a night of drinking comes from the dehydration caused by alcohol. I don't know if that would account for the entire 2.5lbs though.

Such a great workout!! Totally pushes you! I haven't figured out a good way to add it to my exercises. I think it says that you should burn around 1000 calories per video. I don't know if I really believe that though..

Oh I'm sorry that I made a topic about it. I just thought maybe some other people were feeling the same way or had gotten the same feedback. I didn't realize that topics that are posted must affect a large number of people on here.

Well that is one of the posts that has bugged me but I've seen a few others too. But I've also gotten private messages about 128 being too low for my height and that I might be anorexic. I'm pretty sure there are thousands of women out there that weigh 128 or even less and are not anorexic. i have weighed 128 before and I…

Hahaha.. I love seeing the differences in Canadian/American talk. I'm from Saskatchewan and when we went to Disney World everyone laughed when we asked where the Washroom was.. I couldn't bring myself to say bathroom either.. A bathroom is in my house not in public.. I feel weird asking where the "bathroom" is in public.…
