Freezable Breakfast Burritos
Thought I would share this recipe with you guys. I made some of these over the weekend for my boyfriend to eat on the way out the door, and he absolutely loves them! The best part is, he eats and I don't have to get up early and cook it for him. He just grabs one out of the freezer and microwaves it. Of course microwave…

Not necessarily weight loss success but.....
I was running yesterday OUTSIDE (which I rarely do, because I'm self conscious, but have decided I like running outside more than on the treadmill), and I got a... Drumroll.... CATCALL!! Woot. Minor victory for the fat kid. :laugh:

Women Only! (please guys, spare yourself)
Okay I know this is probably not the best board to post this on, but I'm going to post it because I'm freaking out. I have been on birth control for 3 years now, switched to LoEstrin 24 about 5 months ago. I consistently have my period at the end of the pack. I never spot. Today I started getting cramps, and tried to use…

Training for a 10k
Any ideas on other exercises I could do to help my endurance? I know swimming and biking, but is there anything else you do? I know strength training is always being preached but I don't have access to weights. What can I do? Also how do you not get sick of training right in the middle of it?

Radishes
So I googled if radishes were good for you, because I've been eating them alot lately, and the spicyness of them kind of worried me. It's one of the reasons I like them so much, but you always hear that spicy is bad for your tummy. So I did a little research and found this article, and thought I would share it with you…

Having trouble setting goals
How did everyone set their goals? I see in the signatures of many that you have your CW, GW, stuff like that. How did you come up with the middle weight and did you set dates for it? My goal weight is supposed to be 110-140 pounds, but that's a pretty broad spectrum. I was thinking 120 as a goal weight? Is that obtainable?…

Legs
Well, lower body really. I've been running alot, and I'm wanting to incorporate exercises to help tone, and to do something besides running.

I've seen a pattern....
I quit this for about 6 weeks because of my hectic schedule, and I wanted to see what happened if I didn't scrutinize over every calorie, and I just made a simple change.. The more vegetarian type meals I eat, the more weight comes off. I've been eating veggie burgers, with cheese that's made out of vegetables (yes, it's…

Logging Workouts
How would I log a workout I made myself, including basic stuff like squats, crunches, different yoga poses, and jump roping? I did more than that, but I don't know if it counts as aerobics, or what..

Exercise times
I read an article that said you should be exercising between 60-90 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. I also read somewhere else that 20 minutes of cardio is sufficient, and that 30 minutes is good enough also. I'm confused. I was just recently able to run 20 minutes straight (well, maybe walked 3 minutes out of the…

Feeling like giving up.
I exercised 4 days last week, and I gained almost 2 pounds. I've been doing really well with my calorie intake and upping my exercise, and I just haven't lost. I feel like crying. :sad: And my boyfriend is about to kill me because I'm so down on myself lately.

Idea's for small budget meals
I love cooking, very much. My problem is, I use way too much stuff. My boyfriend and I live together, and he is in school still. He is working full time, and with our paychecks combined we live pretty well, and I can afford the grocery's I need/want for my recipes. He is about to go from full time, to a part time…

Ensure vs Slimfast
What is better for you, Ensure or Slimfast? I've heard Ensure gives you calories you DON'T want, because that's what, and please forgive me for saying this, old people drink because they can't eat. Any opinions on this?

I'm so excited
For the first time in over a year, I ran a mile today, and biked 5 miles. Yayy!! Hopefully I can get up to 2 miles in 2 weeks, I can't believe I actually did it. :) Sorry, bragging..

Fasting
Does anyone do this? i've read that fasting doesn't hurt, as long as you don't rely on it heavily to lose weight. I've also read that it helps the body jump start again, and I've hit a slump. I wanted to be 10 pounds lighter, and I've been stuck at 7 pounds for 3 weeks. I just now lost one pound. Anyone have any opinions…

Measurements
I think I'm doing it wrong. I never get the same measurements twice. Can someone please explain to me how to take my measurements? Maybe where the waist actually is, and hips. I know, pretty dumb question to ask, but any answers would be helpful.

Please don't shoot!
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good appetite suppressant that I could buy at a drug store. My doctor refuses to prescribe me ANYTHING to do with weightloss, he doesn't believe in it. I'm really desperate, I just need something to help me get eating under control for a little while until I'm used to it. Some days I…

Reebok EasyTone
I just wanted to let everyone know, if you haven't bought these shoes, GO OUT AND BUY THEM! I've been wearing them for about a month now, and my butt has LIFTED! It's a miracle. I almost have my old butt back. And my boyfriend also loves the difference. It's kind of tricky walking in them at first. They have those balls on…
