Cleansing
Would the lemon, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper cleanse be effective if you were still eating while doing it? I really want to try it but don't think I can go days without eating. In fact, I KNOW I can't go days without eating. So my question is: will my intestines still be cleansed from drinking the mixture even if I am…

Public food diary?
Anyone else have their food diary set to public? I just noticed that you could do this and I think it is a great idea. I haven't been able to catch anyone that has theirs public, though. I would love to know what everyone else is eating. I also think it is a great motivator to keep me tracking what I am eating, if I know…

BMR?!?
Okay, I have been adjusting my goals and went ahead and set my goal to lose 1/2 pound per week. That made my calorie requirement 1470. Well, I went back and calculated my BMR since I have lost 4lbs, and that number went from approx. 1700 down to 1300 :angry: !! So, if I am consuming 1470 calories/day, and my BMR is 1300,…

Fingers
So, I realized last night that my rings are much looser on my fingers. I know I didnt "lose weight" in my fingers, my rings are looser because of watching my sodium and drinking tons of water religiously. I haven't noticed too much difference any where else, but at least this is a good sign!

When will I step it up?
I don't have much weight to lose, just enough where I am comfortable in my current pants size again. Every Monday, I come to work feeling bloated, full, and UNCOMFORTABLE.

Gonna go for 20 on the treadmill!
Even though I have been going to the gym pretty consistently for 2 years, I still consider myself to be completely out of shape due to the fact that I couldn't jog a full mile if my life depended on it! So, today I decided that I needed to build my endurance so I can be a runner again (I ran track all thru Middle School…

Tacos
Does anyone have any suggestions for making traditional home made tacos more calorie-friendly? I was already thinking of using a lettuce wrap instead of taco shell. Also, instead of using taco seasoning in the ground beef, what should I use with less sodium? Thanks! :wink:

Is anyone else still seeing the effects of Easter? I started on this site 2 weeks before Easter, and was totally pleased with what I was seeing.

Never realized I did this
I have been doing really well tracking my calorie and nutrition intake, and have felt really good. But I never realized when I get stressed, the first thing I do is crave junk food! Yesterday, I had to rush my friend to the ER because she passed out and hit her head at work. My thought process was, "OMG, get in the car,…

Salad Dressing
You may think you are being good having a salad as a meal, but salad dressing can add tons of calories, fat, sodium, and ultimately ruin your day. It is hard to find a good salad dressing that is actually low calorie without adding all kinds of unnatural ingredients. What I use on my salad is Red Wine Vinegar. It is the…
