Newlywed food advice
So the last time I did this I lost about 70 pounds. Then I got lazy. I gained every last pound back. Sigh.... So I'm starting over. However, I have a new concern that I didn't have last time. I just got married a little over 2 months ago and am now living with my husband. My husband is about 100 pounds lighter than me and…

Chia Seeds
I am thinking about adding chia seeds to my smoothies but have a few questions for those who have tried them. 1. Do they have a flavor? If I add them to something is it going to throw the taste off? 2. What is their consistancy when added to liquid. What I've read says they swell. Do they have the mouth feel of…

TDEE Info
I've been looking into the TDEE format and I have a question. When I use the calculator from http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ and even put in the 25% calorie reduction and only 1-3 hrs/week of light exercise (I will probably be doing a little more, but want to err on the side of caution) it gives me a goal…

Ravenous!
I have been running about 4 times a week, and since I have done this I seem to be hungry all the time! I just can't seem to get full! Is this normal?

Slight running frustration.
I have been do the C25K for 3.5 weeks now. So far so good. I previously had been doing a low carb diet to spark the weight loss again as I had hit a plateau. I found that I just didn't seem to have the energy I needed to make it through, so I have added some carbs back in to help get that added fuel. Now, here's where the…

Runners stitch
I am a VERY new runner, and I keep getting that stupid side stitch. Sometimes it will be at the beginning of my workout, sometimes it'll come at the end, and sometimes it barely shows up at all. Any suggestions on how to make it not come at all???

Food Boredom
I'm struggling with easy low cal food to take to work with me. I am good on snacks, but I need ideas for lunch. Where I work does not have a refrigerator, and my lunch break is typically 4 hours after I get to work. I have been doing the smart ones meals since they are frozen and can keep out of the cool temps longer, but…

Arm exercises.
Ok, I have been losing weight now for about 4 and a half months. I am firming up everywhere it seems EXCEPT my arms. I kind of feel like a flying squirrel, it just kind of hangs there. I know I need to do some exercises to replace some of that fat with muscle, but I don't want to end up looking like Popeye either. I have…

Exercise Help
I absolutely HATE exercise...except walking. But the weather has been so nasty here lately that it makes getting out to do my daily 3 mile+ walk difficult. I have tried the 30 day shred, and absolutely hate it and the same with tae bo. I know exercise shouldn't be easy, but I don't think it should make you feel like you're…

100 pounds down! with pics
So, I was having a hard time today. The scale wasn't moving as fast as I wanted it to, and I started to get discouraged. I started looking at some old pictures and came across some that made me realize just how far I've come. I started this journey in August of 2008 at 325 pounds. I had dropped a lot and then stopped…

Sassy water.
Has anyone ever tried this? I guess it's supposed to be a body cleanser... And do the cleansers really benefit at all for weight loss? If you don't know what sassy water is, here's the recipe: 2 liters water (about 8 ½ cups) 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced 1 medium lemon, thinly…
