Do you weigh your food?
I recently bought a food scale and I love it! I have really been underestimating portion sizes. I'm worried that weighing my food is going to create a monster, though. I know I've made it this long without it but what do I do when I can't weigh? Will "practice make perfect" and I'll get to the point where I can eyeball…

What's your must-have?
I'm heading to the grocery store tomorrow and I thought it'd be interesting to hear what your must-have item is when you grocery shop. So let's hear it - what are those items on your grocery list that you cannot live without?

How do you get your protein?
I'm not a big meat eater so I'm curious to see how everybody gets their protein.

IF ? - grazing or big meals?
For those of you who IF - when you eat do you eat larger meals or graze? Does there seem to be a benefit one way or the other?

Is there a difference?

Are you one of these people?
Sometimes I see people on here who are burning up to 1000 calories during their workouts. Is this you? Curiosity is getting the better of me. What are you doing to burn that much and how long are you doing it? I'm bored after a half hour :laugh:

Jillian sale at Walmart
I just picked up a Jillian Michaels workout kit at Walmart for $10. It has Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, No More Trouble Zones, and two 1 lb weights. I'm not so excited about the weights :laugh: but I'm thinking $10 for the DVDs isn't too bad. Just thought I'd share.

Am I the only one...
who is not a Zumba fan? I have no desire to try a class but I do have the second version for the Wii. I find it VERY frustrating and my HRM shows that I'm barely doing anything. I've tried it 3 or 4 times and I just cannot get into it. I'm disappointed because I've heard so many great things about it :sad:

wheat bran instead of flour?
Can I use wheat bran instead of flour? I'm trying to make a veggie pancake I found on Shine Food. They call for a 1/4 cup of white flour (along with 3 cups of grated veggies and 2 egg whites) but I was thinking about trying the wheat bran instead. I'm not much of a cook, though, and I have no idea if this will work or not.…

Lifting heavy at home?
I'm currently 5'6 and 121-123. I don't think I need to lose weight as much as I need to tone up and build some lean muscle. I've been through the 30DS and have done some Ripped in 30. I think I need to incorporate some heavy lifting to achieve the look I'm aiming for. The problem is I'm really not sure what to do. I have…

Egg whites and sodium?!
Is the database right? Do hard-boiled egg whites really have so much sodium in them?

Where do I go from here?
Hey, all. I'm 5'6 and 123 pounds so I'm doing okay in the weight department but I'm ready to start toning my body up. I'm on my second round of the 30 Day Shred but I'm not sure this is going to do the trick. I think it might be time to up my workouts a bit. I'm not a gym girl. I need something I can do at home I'm just…

Any grazers out there?
I'm a huge grazer. There are many times that I don't eat an entire serving of something so it makes tracking food a pain. Is anybody else like this? How do you keep track of everything? Just looking for some suggestions. Thanks!

Is it true....?
Awhile ago someone posted something about subtracting the amount of fiber in a food from the amount of carbs in it to get a "net carb" for that particular food. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

scoobysworkshop
So I checked out the scoobysworkshop site and I found it pretty interesting. There is a free fat loss calculator that I'd like to try using. The problem for me is that it breaks down your calories by meal and I'm much more of a grazer during the day than an actual meal person. Does anyone use it? How do you set up your…

scale dream
I had a dream last night (maybe it could even be considered a nightmare :laugh: ) that I went to weigh myself and my husband had taken my scale and hid it! Hmmm....maybe he's trying to tell me something :tongue:

Trader Joe's?
The things people talk about from here sound so good! Unfortunately, there isn't one anywhere near me. Is there anything comparable?

How do you keep your carbs so low?
I seem to have trouble keeping mine below 90 or so and that's when I'm getting them mostly from veggies and limited fruits. Just curious (and praying I'm not opening a can of worms here :blushing: )...

portion control for kids?
How/when is it appropriate to begin portioning your child's meals? My kids are 4 and 9 and I feel like now is a good time to really start teaching them about portion sizes but I don't want to tell them they can't eat more of something. I want them to understand healthy portion control but I don't want to starve them either…

"Last minute" tips?
I'm heading to the beach in two weeks. I obviously would like to look decent in my bathing suit. I've been using myfitnesspal for about six months now and am mainly here to tone up. Can you give me any "tricks of the trade" to use over the next few weeks? I'm not looking for a magical overnight solution :laugh: just a few…

introducing portion sizes to children?
I'm not sure exactly when and how to go about introducing proper portion sizes to my kids. This is mainly for my almost 10 year old daughter. She's a fairly lean, healthy, active girl. She's starting to get "fill out" (get a butt and a belly) but she is not heavy by any means. I certainly don't want to deprive her but I…
