Biking
Anyone biking as their main source of cardio? I just recently took it up and am totally addicted. Finally something I enjoy that seems to be working. I'm still going to invest in some weights for lifting since I don't have my gym membership anymore

Not enough Cals
It seems like i just can't get more than 1500 calories in a day. That seems to be my average. What are some suggestions for some things that I can add to reach my daily goal? I'm sure this is why I'm losing so slowly. I work a desk job & have access to a semi full kitchen, fridge, sink, cutting/prep space, microwave, so…

What are you drinking
As a HUGE soda addict, I'm doing my best to limit it to one a week, therefore I'm replacing my constant coke sipping with water & of course coffee in the morn. Trouble is I'm super bored with the lack of taste. I'm going to hopefully pick up some lemons to add in my water. So what do you drink through the day to break the…

People LOVE to discourage

Nooooo upper body strength
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but I have zero upper body strength. Even with lifting with 10 pound weights for the last month or so I can't even do one full girl push up or even a single pull up. Suggestions on getting stronger??

Too much water
Anyone else drink so much water that it made them vomit. Never thought this was possible but it happened to me a few days ago. I was drinking water all day, at least 5 qt. and puked my brains out. Who knew!

The Household's "diet"
Since you have begun eating healthier, has your entire household? My family of course is not on the same eating regime that I am on but I have made some changes. I used to provide an endless supply of snacks like little snackcakes, crackers, cookies etc. Since rethinking our family's health I decided there was no reason…

Dinner
Do you eat dinner every night? Most nights I will skip it, I feel that I ate enough through the day & I'm not really hungry in the evenings. Weekends are the exception, I cook a lot then!
