How many calories do YOU think I should be eating...
Okay.... So I'm wondering what the general consensus will be on this one. I've been doing a heavy lifting routine since June-ish to drop the remaining lbs that I had after doing a cardio-based (usually ended with some lifting, but it wasn't the core) routine for around 4 months. Now, I've been at my goal weight for around…

My supplement entry is long as my dinner entry...
...and I like it that way :smile: Just popping in to see what others are using and seeing results with. Fyi- I'm referring to supplements used while on a muscle building quest, not diet pills and other phoney-boloney stuff. Personally I use- Before workout: C4 pink lemonade pre-workout ON whey mocha cappuccino (with water)…

Favorite healthy "junk-food" alternative?
So thanks to the wonderful internet, I've still been able to have jalapeno poppers, buffalo chicken dip, alfredo and a number of other "junk-foods" (love skinnytaste :love: ). Just wondering what everyone's recipes are for alternatives to the crap food that has made us EX-chubsters?

Biggest, surprising non-supporter you've run into....
Mine is my boyfriend's mother. We've been dating for 6 years and for 5 of them I was pudgy. This past January I decided to kick my butt in gear and change my lifestyle. I now watch what I eat very carefully, hit the gym at 4:45am everyday for heavy lifting and I'm down 28 pounds. At first, she didn't really say much, until…

Would sweating a lot ruin spray tan???
So all through high school and college I was the one going to the tanning bed 3-4 times a week... Last winter I started getting white splotches up my neck and on to my face, seemed like they were spreading and multiplying as I kept tanning. So I can't tan normally in the sun/tanning bed anymore because of these stupid…

Switching from heavy lifting to P90X...Good or bad idea???
So I'm having a dilemma. I hit my goal weight doing mainly cardio (did Zumba, running, and Body Pump for about 5 months). So now I've been in the gym for the past 4-ish months on a mostly weight-based routine (different muscle group each day, 12-15 minutes HIIT cardio afterwards). I've put on a couple pounds of muscle and…

Okay ladies... Best running underwear? =)
So I've been running for about a year now since I've started the whole losing weight-eating better thing. It's to the point that I'm needing to replace the underwear drawer because nothing fits me anymore. So I was wondering what the opinions were on best running underwear? :smile:

Low sodium/Low carb wraps... Do they exist????
So I love having turkey/chicken/tuna/veggie wraps for lunch 3-4 days a week because they're simple to make and pack for work... But I'm getting really fed up with the ridiculous amounts of carbs and sodium that are in most of the brands I've tried. I've tried flat outs, joseph's flax lavash bread, la tortilla factory...…

I'm a size 1? When did this happen?!?!
I had a mini-revelation when I went shopping for dress pants the other day... I worked at Gap for two years while I was in college, and I always used to roll my eyes when a twig of a girl used to ask me if we had so-and-so pants or jeans in a size 1 because the size 2 is just too big. Whenever I bought pants there, I was…

TGIF... Hangover remedies? =)
So it's Friday... Time to cut loose and throw a couple back after another work week. Just wondering if anyone out there has any hangover fixes? Mine is to chug a ton of water before bed, wake up around 6 am, have a couple more glasses of water and a couple tylenol, sleep for a couple more hours and I'm usually good when I…

Why, thank you Bob Evan's....
Because if there's anything this country needs, it's endless, all-you-can-eat french fries with a massively unhealthy hamburger. Congrats on a great contribution to this country's ridiculous obesity problem. Whoever came up with this one is a total genius. :noway:

i...hate...SODIUM!!!
Okay... I know this has been posted 10x's over, I'm sure. BUT I don't feel like digging for two days. I always do great on my numbers (calories, fat, protein, carbs, etc.) EXCEPT for sodium. It's the freaking devil. I've already reached my weight loss goal (yay!) and now I'm in a building phase, which is why I've upped my…

What's your "healthy" junk food?
So I've discovered this wonderful little thing called "Chocolate Mousse Indulgence" by Jell-o. It's a whipped chocolate mousse that's sugar free. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Better yet, it's only 80 calories. Soooo that's my new "healthy" junk food. I understand it's not all that healthy considering there's fat and artificial…

Getting boyfriend on fitness bandwagon....
So I've been living the healthy lifestyle since December and I've lost 20 pounds. Now that the summer months are coming up, I'd like to get out of the house and do hikes, more kayaking, bike rides, runs, etc. But, I have a couch potato of a boyfriend who never wants to come with me to do ANYTHING. It's really starting to…

Healthy snack/small meal ideas
I'm just curious in seeing what everyone has been able to create for their low calorie snacks/small meals! I have a desk job, so planning is key for me when it comes to my snacks throughout the day. I need to take with me in the morning what I am going to be eating for the day to prevent any slip-ups- people in my office…
