Hit me with your top filling foods
This is day 2 of being REALLY hungry all the time. Like graze mode all day. I am eating pretty ok but very very close or over and still HUNGRY. I upped my calories recently (lose .5 lbs vs 1 lb a week) as I am basically at my target weight. So I need some filling foods. Any suggestions? Thanks!

NSV -- work event
I went to a work event last week. People haven't seen me in 3-4 months (aka 25 lbs ago) and WOW what great response I got. Just about everyone said something nice and a few of them started calling me Twiggy. It just felt so great. I know I've lost but wasn't sure how much people would notice. It felt GREAT.

Women: What do you wear in cool weather to run in?
I am planning ahead -- what do you wear on top and bottom for running in fall/winter? I am assuming tights or legging sort of running bottoms. What about tops? I've been wearing running tops with bras built in and really like them. I do have some running bras ... any suggestions? Thanks!

How to go back?
I have been on a low carb/sugar and high protein diet for about a month now. It is working very well and I am likely to do this hard core for another month or 2 before I hit my goal and go to fat loss/maintenance mode (vs weight loss mode which is where I am now). So if you have done this - any tips? I am just trying to…

Silly NSV
Tonight we took our son out to celebrate graduating from kindergarten. I ordered a hamburger with a bun (splurge) and instead of French fries I ordered broccoli and I didn't eat anyone else's French fries or taste dessert. I would NEVER have done that before (I struggle with will power) and I feel great about my will power…

How do you avoid injury?
I have been doing bootcamp for a couple of months and also now doing yoga and C25K. I am worried about injury -- of course everything hurts but so far I've been ok.

Anyone else limiting alcohol?
I used to drink every night -- 2-3 beers. Then I went to light beers but still 2-3 beers. Now I am just drinking on the weekend (Fri and Sat night). It seems to be helping a lot (expect it is better for several reasons!). Anyone else with me?

Trouble viewing yourself?
I am 5'10" and went from 178 to 166 in the last few months. But I view myself as pretty big. It is strange. I have a friend who I was shocked to learn is about 200 lbs and several inches shorter than I am -- I always thought we were about the same size. When I went running today, I saw myself in a window reflection and was…

Back to pre pregnancy weight!
I am back to my pre pregnancy weight (achieved 2 lbs ago) and within 2 lbs of my wedding weight. I need to consider what my next weight goal is.

Calculating bootcamp for exercise?
Anyone have a calculation of calories burned for 60 minutes of bootcamp (interval training)? Basically don't stop moving for 60 minutes but no single exercise for more than a rep or 2? I am looking to see how many calories it would count for. I am in terrible shape but in session 3 of bootcamp! THANK!
