Juicing, has anyone tried it?
I had watched a documentary a few weeks back called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It's amazed me what someone could do, including stop taking the medicine that a doctor says you will take for the rest of your life. Saturday I woke up with a scary realization, at least it was to me. I hadn't eaten all day Friday because I was…

Light headed or getting sick while working out?
Recently I've began to get Light headed or sick during work outs. This could occur from just a 10min work out even, nothing long or strenuous. Elliptical. I've been eating well, anywhere from eggs/bacon/rice for breakfast to Cherrios with a banana. I always make sure to eat a snack a good 20mins or more before my first…

How many times do YOU eat a day?
I personally didn't have a set amount of times, I just packed my lunchbox with tons of healthy food like grapes, strawberries, blackberries, a low-cal fat free yogurt, and my lunch. Through out the day I every 1 1/2 to 2hrs apart I would snack (times would very depending on when I woke up in the morning and ate breakfast).…

Maybe eating too little? No weight loss after 31days
I've been thinking about my previous success with weight loss and were I am now. I'm wondering if maybe I'm eating too little - not the "I'm under 1200" but possibly not enough for my body as an individual? Currently I'm moving anywhere between 196(SW) and 193(CW) it goes up..it goes down but it always stays between those…

P90X..yes another question!
I'm not a P90X user (yet?), I've pretty much done Cardio all my live, never have done strength before, but the more I hear about it, the more it seems great for both men and women to have a solid Strength work out over a Cardio workout. - The fitness trainer I currently have is a believer in high protein, low sodium - and…

Switching it up without losing motivation?
Sorry to rant, I'm a little frustrated! I'm on my 25th day (yay, happy 25th!) - The only problem is I've pretty much lost 0 weight (SW: 196.8, and I fluctuate between 194-196, CW: 195.8) - Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I'm not feeling it. I really don't want to see that runner go back down to 1 or 0! Even though I'm…

Week 2: Diet, Exercise and Weight Concern, halp?
Started on March 28th, and at first I wasn't tracking my food logs so well because I didn't yet have time to go shopping for food to stuff in my fridge. But I did keep up with my exercises. The first few days I most likely went over in Calories by a little bit. The first week I lost a steady 4lbs, but this week -…

My little success
Today I woke up, knowing i need to go shopping for food before there is nothing left healthy to eat. - But before shopping I wanted to get in a pre-breakfast snack to jump start my metabolism. Into the fridge I go! In there I see..Pizza and Wingstop - this was what my boyfriend's weekend was made up of. But not me! I…

Difference between Goal and Net?
I keep hearing people talking about your Goal and Net, and what each should be at or it will work against you. But what is net? And how do you make it go up or down?

Only 1 1/2weeks in
And I'm already craving to go out! - I've only dropped 2lbs, and trust me when I say the Tex Mex across from my work sounds so much more appetizing than the food in my lunch box. It also seems worth eating, right now I just don't care if I gain back those 2lbs I lost. - Thankfully I'm here, not there and have almost an…

A little help :(
Hey guys! So I work at an office, we have tons of people all shapes and sizes. - There is a guy right next to me eating something fried, all I know is that it looks and smells DELICIOUS. Now the Salad in my lunch box doesn't look or feel that appetizing, I just want to hop over the desk and ask him what he is eating so I…

A little bit of rain goes a long way
Last week I started with a 6week boot camp program. I'm used to not eating before exercising is the best! I don't feel overwhelmed or nauseated. - Well not this week! We started out this week with strength, instead of the cardio that I'm used to and boy did I feel sick as ever! I ended up not being able to jump during the…

Decent food to buy from a corner store?
I have brought so food with me, but for some reason today I'm feeling extra hungry! I have a lot of calories to spare (about 500~), I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I can purchase at a corner store during my lunch break without going over my calories! Thanks!

Too few Calories?
The last few days I've been almost meeting my 1,200cal limit but *just* under by about 63~ Today: 1,168cal eaten and it still tells me I'm eating too few and it will lead to nutritional issues and starvation mode. Is this something I should worry about considering I'm so close to the cap? :( Should I be eating more? I'm…

Low Cal Lunch foods?
I've been trying my hardest to not go out to eat during lunch, which is extremely hard considering the work environment I'm in. My Co-workers always go out with each other to grab a bite to eat. I find myself wanting to go with! Right now I'm flip flopping between bringing a Lean Pocket to work, or bringing left overs from…
