  • I found trail mix is a good afternoon snack. Chex mix has a great kind that's only 150 calories serving.
  • I use to have this problem quite often. I started adding more protien to my breakfast and snacking on foods that are high in water (lots of fruits & veggies or yogurt). I try to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours. It helps but the day after a really killer workout I still have this issue. Ii found on those days a whole wheat carb…
  • I range any where from gaining 2 - 7lbs but as soon as it is over I tend to be at my lowest. I just trying to keep that in mind whenever I weight my self during that tme
  • I am working on getting into this too. I read the complete idiots guide to clean eating and got a lot of good information but honestly you can find that all online. I would recommend The Best of Clean Eating Cookbook (some recipes can be found online). Everything I've tried is amazing and I have told many people if I knew…
  • I am happy to see so many foods I've been eating :) Its nice to see what each food benifits. Thanks!
  • I right there with you. I've been called out many times for seeing/feeling the old me and not the new me. I find it helps to look at old pictures and new pictures. I sent a picture of my new bath suit (which I was not at all confident in buying, but my best insisted it looked great) to a friend and looked at the picture…
  • I think its great to provide the information. I will pick a place I can know the calories everytime, even if its a little higher because then I at least have a ball park for the number I need to burn at the gym.
  • I have the same thing and have been on that medication for almost 5 years. I noticed a difference in my energy & sleep cylces. I didn't really notice a difference with my metabolism till I started my diet 2 years ago. There was like a month period I ran out and I did notice my energy dropped. I think it helps if your…
  • I got it tested at the gym. They have a machine you hold and squeeze and it gives you your body fat %.
  • I actually had the doctor test for Anemia too because I have a history of that. Saldy my doctor is not to worried and told me to just stand up slower because its probaly a blood pressure issue from losing so much (I will looking for a new doctor). Thanks for the infomation it's very helpful :)
  • Thanks for all the great advice so far, after reading all these I know the calories bump is the right call :). Right now I'm 5'7'' and 183 lb with about 28% body fat. I drink a ton of water and workout a lot. I try to eat about every 3 hrs so hopefully bumping up my snack calories will help. Thanks again! :)
  • I have and highly recommend it. I lost my first 50lbs on it (with little excrise for an 8 month period due to a car wreck). If you have type b metabolism it's great. My metabolism actually changed quite a bit so now I calories count but I still follow a lot of the low carb things I learnedly... it was lifestyle change that…
  • This was acually how I started losing weight. I highly recommend it! I though it would be very difficult because I love bread and dairy but after the first few days my cravings for those foods lessened. I hardly ever crave pasta (Mac and cheese was one of my favorites and I don't really like it now). I lost my first 50 lbs…
  • It bugs me when people just sit on machines. I understand when you you're between sets but yesterday a girl sat on an arm machine for at least 15 minute (that's from when I started clocking) and in that time only did maybe 10 because she would only do something when here boyfriend was looking. I know at least 3 people were…
  • Have the same hrm and that is actually around the same number I get when I run 30 min. I've been using mine for about 6 months and it's totally changed how I workout. I love it!!!
