Additionally, we will add in specific daily challenges each week. _______________________ HIIT will be as follows: (warm up and cool down with 5…

Where is the hummus?
(If this is a double post, forgive me ... the first one didn't seem to go through ...) So I haven't had hummus since undergrad, and I didn't like it then. But so many of y'all love it that I'm going to try it again! The problem is, where in the heck is it in the grocery store?? I don't want to look like an idiot walking…

Fitness Training Help! FBI Academy ... can anyone help?
I want to apply to the FBI (or JAG secondarily) and I have to meet a physical fitness requirement. I was 37 pounds down, but then I went and stayed with my family for 3 weeks, so I'm a little behind on my fitness (I swam, did farm work, shopped and walked, no real workouts). I have the workout explained below, but I was…

Panera Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil Salad?
HOW is this 770 calories?? I understand if you don't eat the croutons that it's 430 calories. But what confuses me is that they claim that their *vegetable mix* is 140 calories - what's hidden in there?? Any thoughts? And is it good? Thanks guys :smile:

Fruit 2 Day
Anybody else feel that fruit juice with chunks sounds incredibly disgusting AND a huge cop out?? Or is it better than it sounds?

I'm lounging in jeans with no stretch!!
I just realized this morning as I put them on for the 2nd day that I'm sitting around the house (very rainy Memorial Day weekend here) NOT in sweats, comfy pajamas, etc., but in JEANS. With NO stretch. And they're irregulars (they're how I measure when I hit a certain level of thin) they're Old Navy skinny jeans that have…

I can't chew for over two weeks! Help!
So I had a cavity :blushing: filled about two weeks ago ... I had to go back today because the filling did something ... well they replaced it with a temporary sedative filling which isn't properly packed down onto my tooth. That means that the filling throws off my bite by a little bit ... so if I chew, I could crack my…

Woah don't be like me ...
UGH I stayed within my calories (okay I was 50 over, but we did a lot of mall-strolling today, so I might have burned those, too), but I went WAY over on fat and sodium :noway: :grumble: [Buffalo Wild Wings for NCAA Basketball - and my poor Spiders lost :sad: :sad: :sad: ]. I feel sick, I look sick, I want to be sick to…

Woah Jenny McCarthy!
I did her workout (on Wii) for the second day today. It was a 30 minute upper body workout, and I. AM. SORE. You can imagine by my weight-to-lose that there's a lot of pounds to carry, and she had me doing different kinds of push ups, planks, and the like, all mixed in with lots of cardio. I hurt now, but in a few weeks, I…

I'm under 200!!!
I NEVER thought I'd weigh 200, and now I never. will. again. I cannot BELIEVE it - and how great I feel (and how important it is to keep this up!!!) I hope everyone has a success story today - congratulations to us!

I'm bored and I want to eat! Wahhh!
I'm a law student, watching a basketball game and reading Con Law :yawn: and I disagree with the Court over and over here :mad: ... so it's like reading a book that tells me my religion is wrong, but there's nothing I can do about it. :grumble: And I just want ... something. Except I don't. I just want to not read this poo…

Energy Lag + Green Tea = Stomach Ache
So I'm lacking energy from time to time, definitely a sign I need to tweak something that I'm eating (and I'll be working on that this week!) BUT I drink green tea (Lipton, made with a tea bag, brand new box) from time to time as well because I read everywhere that it's great for diets and energy. They're not lying that…

How much extra water?
How much extra water do y'all drink on workout days? I just had an 1100 calorie workout outside in Alabama (a great ride on a great horse!) ... I drank a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle during the workout, but I bet I could put two more away right now. And I just want to make sure I'm having enough.

Metabolism
So my metabolism has ground to a halt. Part of the reason is stress - law school exams in less than a month. And I know, I know, protein in every meal. The problem is, we're doing a low-fat, low-calorie diet, and I do not want to eat eggs, tuna and a chicken breast every day. I can't eat peanut butter because even the…

Got my F-6 today!!!
So excited!! I didn't learn how to use it before my ride this afternoon, but I'll use it for my run tomorrow morning!! Any recommendations? :heart:

New Reason NOT to Cheat
So yesterday I ate like poo for lunch because I had a killer headache, so I got carbs, sugar, fat and caffeine for lunch. I stayed up all night long (and most of the day today) shaking, feeling like I was going to be sick and ... the worst part ... having panic attacks! :grumble: Whodathunk, right?! So even more motivation…
-
Breakfast Drink??
So sometimes on the weekends, I want more than just my yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, etc. So I'll do scrambled eggs & toast (still low cal, high protein, good stuff). But I want a huge glass of orange juice .... or a massive glass of milk. And that's just a ton of calories. Which I won't always be able to work off (for whatever…

My first weight loss in over a month!!
So I'm fine with the fact that it's only half a pound. Law school is really stressful, and unfortunately this semester has been nothing but stressful writing and classes I can't get my head around and free food every other day and social events once a week, and I've tried really hard to stay within my calories (and failed,…

I ate under my calories today!!!
**Just barely, not enough to be under eating** It's the first time this week that I've been able to stay under my calories. And minus a migraine from a huge storm coming, I feel awesome! And I did it by hearing about all y'all's accomplishments. So thank you!! :happy: :laugh: :smile: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :smile: :laugh:…

I've plateaued at 15 ... he's almost at 30 ...
(Sorry men) I hate men right now. My husband has lost twice what I've lost. And he has less to lose than me!! He's able to eat at a greater deficit, because if he eats 200-300 fewer calories, he's still eating 300 calories more than me. He doesn't work out, and he's never hungry. I work out all the time, I feel like I have…

March Madness Calories Burned?
So of COURSE this is tongue-in-cheek, but does anyone think we actually burn any calories jumping up and down, scanning from big screen to big screen and bouncing from that nervousness watching sports? Don't you wish we could? :wink: Happy March Madness (and weekend!) all!! :drinker: :happy: :drinker:

Law Week = Diet He"ck"
So last week was law week at school. Free food (when you're a law student, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth), tons of events, classes that are lazy, it's great and awful all at once. It was TOM ... but I put on 2 pounds anyway :( But I'm back on track today!! And got in all my water :)

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
Is one of my hubby's favorite tv shows. And it makes me want to get fatter. So I'm going to leave the room now :laugh:

More snow than I've seen in a couple of years!!!
And I just moved to Alabama from Virginia :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: So I'm going to be a 2 year old today and be super stoked :) Who wants to join me?

Weight Training Calories
Why doesn't the tracker count in calories burnt while weight training? I know it's not a TON, but it's some, and I feel like I'm burning all day (maybe it's just the pain :wink:). Cardio is great - and I do a ton of it (more each week!), but I feel like MFP doesn't think weight training is good enough :sad:

Cooking Light subscription worth it?
I have been trying to find more and more places for good recipes, and the Healthy Living section in the back of Southern Living is good, sometimes Better Homes and Gardens has some good stuff, but hubby wants to be a chef (:noway: right?!) and so I need more options so he can cook his little heart out. With the cost of…

I don't know what to have for dinner ...
I'm feeling lazy and can't decide what I want for dinner. I have plenty (possibly too many) calories left ... what are y'all having?
-
I'm sick! I want to ...
lay in bed and drink orange juice & eat chicken noodle soup all day ... and those are almost empty calories. What have y'all done when you're sick?
