Olive Oil?!?!
Been reading some weight loss blogs. Love the inspiration. One common theme it seems among some of the ones I read was olive oil. No explanation...usually just a statement like.."I stirred my daily dose of olive oil into my oatmeal."...or "I saved my daily dose of olive oil for this dish". So what's the deal? Is there a…

Jillian Michaels Workouts
I have been doing the 30 Day Shred. I love the results I have been getting and the range of exercises. I have not been able to progress to Level 2 due to an old shoulder injury and I found that Level 2 was just too hard on it when I did it one day. I want to try out more of Jillian's videos...any suggestions that are close…

Progress pics - 54 pounds lost in 116 days!
This is my first progress pic post - I have lost 54 pounds!! My friend convinced me to do this post. I have been hesitant because I really do not believe the pics show the progress that I know I have had..if that makes any sense..lol. On January 26, 2013, I went to the doctor to get back onto my thyroid medication. I was…

Fiber!
Hi all! I have been doing low carb since April 19th and it broke my little plateau I had going on. Plus I feel so great. My energy has been so high and just overall feel terrific. I currently have my carbs set at 20% of my daily calories (1300 cals a day) which is about 65g. That is just a goal - I normally net around…

Low carb newbie with questions...
I decided to change my carb goals from 130g to 98g..I am going to try and hit between 65-98g a day. So thought I could just do it with what I had on hand at the house....after a little research I see that I am wrong about that so have to start after grocery day on Saturday. Anywho...I have been scouring the pinterest…

Please look at my diary....
I am so worried that one day I will stop losing weight. I guess its that low confidence person inside me that needs reassurance I am on the right path. I started this journey on February 1st (maybe 2nd)....I have logged everything since..every bite of food... I am so scared of hitting a plateau. Please look at my diary and…

Natural Peanut Butter vs Regular Peanut Butter
I love peanut butter, but I have been afraid to eat it because of the amount of calories and fat. I have read I dont know how many peanut butter labels. They all seem to be about the same 190 calories and 14-16g of fat. Then there is the natural peanut butter. I do not see a lot of difference except the cost. I will buy it…

Stress and weight loss
Does stress affect weight loss? The last 10 days or so I have been under tremendous stress. I only lost 2lbs last week and nothing this week despite my eating and fitness. The only thing that has changed is my stress level. Any thoughts on this?

Caloric Deficit?
This may seem like a silly question.....I have read and read so many posts about "caloric deficit". So if I have my calories set at 1500-1700 calories...does this mean I need to do that much in exercise to lose weight? But yet, some people say to eat back exercise calories...I read the road map post and my TDEE (sp?) is…
