Greek Yogurt (info and tips)
If you don't know yet, greek yogurt is kind of the new thing. With twice the protein, it is quickly replacing the regular brands of yogurt. Some people still have not made the switch as it is quite a bit more tangy than regular yogurts. Especially the plain variety and those without fruit. Flavors with fruit add carbs, so…

Job Stress
This is a rant/support post...be patient...:mad: So, I work at a marina in South Florida. Love it! Atmosphere is great. Location is gorgeous. Mosquitoes drive me insane, but oh well.

HRM and sex...
This is dead serious...I am very curious! Has anyone wanted to or actually have worn their heart rate monitor during sex to see how many calories it burns???

I love coffee...do you love coffee?
Here are a few of my favorite coffee quotes...feel free to add your own :) It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity. I bet this kind of thing does not happen to heroin addicts. I bet…

Coffee: Drink to Your Health
A cuppa Joe is good for more than a quick pick-me-up. By Dan Fields Move over, green tea? Recent studies indicate that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s, colon cancer, and diabetes compared to non-drinkers, and they’re also less apt to die from heart disease. To be sure, coffee isn’t for everyone: It…

Back away from the cupcake!!!
Why is it when some people hit one of their mini goals for weight loss or whatnot, they celebrate...by eating??? Or find some excuse to have a cheat day. Particularly unhealthy foods. Cupcakes, candy, soda, or a huge, sodium filled, heart attack dinner. I find this slightly contradicting. I do, however love the idea of…

I have no *kitten*...and in a plateau...fml
I am plagued with the no-*kitten*-at-all syndrome. I learned to live with it until now...I carry most of my weight in the midsection. I got a thick muffin top going if I wear my actual pants size as my lower hip area is significantly smaller than my lower abdomen. So, it's either wear pants that LOOK as if they are to…

You can look and tell he/she doesn't miss a meal...
I heard someone say this today and it got me thinking about the irony of those words. It could actually be a good thing. Yes, we know when you eat a lot during the day and it's all unhealthy, you can gain weight and therefore look like you don't miss a meal ...BUT... If you are eating healthy and eating the way you should,…

Why should you get an HRM?
Let me tell you a little story... There was this woman who was sick and tired of not liking the reflection in the mirror, so she researched ways to get healthy. She decided upon the good ol' counting calories and exercising. So, she joined a gym and found a website called MyFitnessPal and was on her way to success. She…

Fish Oil - "Fish Burp"
I take Fish Oil once a day. I use the Spring Valley double strength 1200mg. It is supposed to be one that claims there is no "fish burp". It is definitely better than most, but I am one of those people that tend to burp a lot regardless. So, I still have a slight "fish burp" when I do take them. :blushing: So, my question…

Drinking one night?
Ok so I have been very good with staying on track with watching what I eat. I am having a girls night tonight and I would like to have a few drinks with them and let loose a bit, but I don't want to go over my calories too much, so I was thinking of having a snack instead of big dinner. I am pretty well off in the…

Gettin slightly annoyed
Ok so here is the deal... I started eating better and working out about 4 months ago. I have lost 21 lbs (would be a little more but I was a little naughty during the holidays) Otherwise, I have been busting my @$$!!! Ok well, a friend of mine weighed in at 200 lbs when I started dieting. ( I was 217), but we were the same…

Greetings Friends!
Hello! My name is Stacie. I started my lifestyle change about 4 months ago at my heaviest ever (217 lbs). I wasn't seeing too much of a difference in the scale for a while but I did realize that it was most likely due to muscle gain so I didn't let that get me down. I was once 140 lbs and healthy. At the beginning of 2011,…
