for me is Spinning! I burn 600-800 during a 60 minute class with 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down. Not to mention the calories i continue to burn AFTER class :-)

I LIKE BEERRRRRRRRRRRRR and Budweiser at that! and NO im not an alcholic i just like to let loose on Saturdays after a long week at work!!!!!!!

add some ranch dressing mix or dill dressing mix (powder stuff) to the plain kind and mix up. Its a FANTASTICCCCCCCCC Veggie dip!!!! :love:

Hi Everyone- I discovered that i LOVE rowing and Im really hoping that it helps get rid of my back fat.....we all know it.......the piece of fat that we PRAY our bra straps will hold in. Is there any rowers out there that can give me hope that it gets rid of it? I go for about 30 minutes, perfect form (asked a trainer to…

Its a weight loss program that you can either do shakes only or shakes during the day and then a restrictive meal. Go to www.HMR.com for all the info. Its pricey but well worth it! You dont need an RX from your doctor but I can only get it at my pharmacy at the hospital (aside from online). I did the shake only program…

Nut Load is the vegiterian version of meat loaf. I had it at a holiday party last week and after I was basically strong armed, I tasted it and it was AMAZING.

If you do, can you please share?

I find the HMR shakes to be very filling myself and i love the chocolate and vanilla flavors! If I get burned out on the vanilla I throw about 3 frozen strawberries or a handful of blueberries in it. Another thing I did is bought sugar free pudding and put a little in the shake with a few ice cubes :-)

Im loving a few of my songs right now on my play list When im really pushing the resitance on the elipitical I love: Enter Sandman- Metallica Word Up - Korn Here I come - Fergie Angel - Shaggy New Girl Now - Honeymoon Suite So HoTT! - Kid Rock So Alive - Love and Rockets and when Im rocking it! Fallen Angel - Poison Keeps…

Hello! I agree with thisisamyo reply. I too am the same size as you and faithfully have been on the elipitcal 5x a week for 30 minutes and I actually just finished measuring myself before I saw your post and have lost 5.5 inches in a month. I put on my music, set my machine to interval and then bump it up a few notches for…

what would 45g be equivalent too? One small slice?

When I get down and out and ready to throw in the towel, I look at one of my pictures I call my "fat" pictures and that keeps me going!! Or I pull out my size 18 jeans that are to big and ask myself, do i want to forever shop in the section where the sign "Plus Size" hangs from the ceiling? Ahhh, no! I want to shop in the…

Holy crap that is cheap!!! I hired one at Gold's gym and it was 400 bucks for 6 sessions! I LOVED working with a trainer but I know how some people feel about working out with them in the gym. When he made me do crazy things like jumping on the 1/2 ball thing, I made him allow me to do it in one of the aerobic rooms. He…

New England Represented! I currently live outside of Boston, MA in a town called Burlington. Just moved here recently from Upstate NY (no Westchester is not considered upstate) :laugh: Lived in Albany NY.

I use toddler silverware and I also use small plates. By small I mean tea cup saucer size. I also dont drink 30 minutes prior to a meal or 60 minutes after. We were taught that if you drink water prior to eating, you are full quicker but my nutritionist advised that water helps break down your food quicker so you are…

I always look online for the nutritional values of different meals for whatever restraunt we are going to. Many chains have them online which I cannot wait until all restraunts have to post nutritional values for the foods the offer! For those of you who like PF Changs............once you see the calorie count for their…

i'm with you! My husband thinks im insane but I just cannot drink it no matter what. However, I have found a few things that have helped me that might help you. I use to have 24oz water bottles on my desk and the thought of drinking all of that just made me not drink any of it! Now I switched to 12oz and I find it so much…

I find that getting my protein in is very easy. I had lapband surgery in March and that is the #1 thing that we have to ensure we are eating (or drinking) enough of. For females, my nutritionist/doctor has indicated that we are suppose to be taking in between 55-65 grams of protein a day. I always make sure I have my…

Hi Everyone. Im so excited that I found this site and wanted to say hello. I had lap band surgery done on March 13 of this year and have been struggling trying to keep track of my daily eating habits and exercise. I havent found a site that was user friendly until now and im so excited to continue my journey of weight…
