Cost of Healthy Food vs Bad Food
I cannot get over how expensive it is to eat "healthy"!! I'm not talking about a restaurant. Just going to the grocery store to buy fruits and veggies, chicken, healthy snacks, cheese etc..... It is so much cheaper to pick up a bag of chips or cookies that are on sale vs the healthy stuff. Especially during this economy…

Best bread/wrap to make sandwiches with
I'm being lazy and figured I would ask you guys instead of wasting my time reading labels in the store. What is a good low-cal bread or wrap I can buy for making a sandwich?? Right now Im buying whole wheat which is 80 calories a slice. Not bad, but is there anything else?? I LOVE wraps, but the calories are so darn high.…

Tired of thinking about food
From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. It's not necessarily the fact that I want to eat...it's WHAT to eat. It has almost become an obsession with me. Typical thoughts of food during the day..... "Ok....I can have this for breakfast, but what will I have for a snack?? Well, I had this for a snack so I can't have…

Eating more than before
Now that I am counting calories I eat more often (but obviously healthier) however, I feel like I am ALWAYS eating! Sometimes I feel like my husband is staring at me like..."You're eating AGAIN"????

Thinking of Purchasing a HRM
Ok....I know, dumb question, but........what does a HRM really do?? Do you only wear it when walking/running or on an elliptical machine or can I wear it during a Pilates class??

Lifting weights 2 days in a row??

I've been going to the gym every day, watching what I eat and HAVE been losing weight...which is great...however, I am still not happy with the way my body looks.

What is wrong with me???
I had a salad for lunch today and I guess out of habit, I went into the cabinet to get some potato chips. BUT......when I put one in my mouth, I had no appetite for them.

What a difference logging in food makes
I started this back in Jan. I was exercising and logging in my food religiously. I lost 4 lbs and a few inches, which is great! After a while, I got a bit lazy and stopped logging in my food, but I continued to exercise the same amount and have not lost a pound. What a difference logging in your food makes!! It stops me…

Water Question
Is it ok to drink Decaffinated Green Tea in place of my daily water intake?? Im assuming its ok since there are no calories in it, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I still do drink water, but Im finding that if Im hungry, water doesn't do much, but for some reason the tea will fill me up. Also, I drink about 5 cups of tea a…
