Hunger confusion
Okay, sooo I ate my breakfast this morning around 7:30am. It is now 10:40am and I'm hungry again, haha. I've read people saying that you could just need to hydrate/drink your water, so I did! My hunger is.. GONE. IT'S SO WEIRD!! Just had to share this weird little thing our bodies do. :]

I'll possibly be grilling for Dad's day tomorrow and am trying to prepare some recipes! I've never been a fan of blue cheese. Can you guys suggest a different cheese that would work will with this recipe? Blue Cheese Stuffed Burger with Red Onion and Spinach Ingredients 1 lb. ground beef 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp.…

Protein shake question!
I randomly read somewhere that if your body doesn't need a protein shake, it tastes bad. But if it DOES need the protein shake, it'll taste good! (Quote: chocolate tastes like chocolate.) Is there any truth in this? (It's not a professional book or anything, just a random novel I'm reading.)

Which Polar HRM to invest in?
Here's a link to an apparently legitimate website that sells this kind of stuff. I know I DO want to go with Polar, because apparently the Mio ones suck.. But which one would be the best? Does it really matter..? (I've honestly never heard of a HRM before joining this site!)…

Lunch dilemma
So, I made some awesome panko baked chicken breasts last night and had enough leftovers to bring to work! Lo and behold, they gave my husband and I food poisoning. Okay at home, NOT okay at work! I'm LITERALLY surrounded by a jack in the box, a Mcdonalds and a Bill Miller. Everywhere else is pretty far a drive for just a…

Extra skin on stomach concern
Lately, I've really been thinking of extra skin resulting from massive weightloss, mainly in the stomach region. If you are and have been above 200 pounds for a while, yet you're still young and without kids, what are the chances that extra skin won't bounce back when you lose all your weight? I am extremely worried about…

CONSTANTLY hungry!
I am just..constantly hungry! I sit at my desk all day at work, but I try to incorporate good foods and protein in throughout the day while eluding the vending and soda machines. For example, so far today, I've had 35 grams of protein so far from various sources (special k protein shakes and a luna bar, ect.) and I am…

Can you use whole wheat flour in baked goods?
I bought whole wheat flour instead of all purpose white in an attempt to use better ingredients, but I found a slammin' recipe of low cal carrot cake, which calls for all purpose white flour. Can it be substituted for whole wheat or will it ruin it? I've never used anything but white before..

Burnt out. Haven't worked out in a week.
I'm just burnt out. I've just made it past the 55 day mark using this site, and haven't lost a huge amount of weight like everyone else, so that's partially the reason I'm just.. blah. It's obviously my own fault, since I can't get myself to work out. But when I DO get myself to wkrout, Ican go for 45-60 minutes doing…

What to log "Zumba fitness Cardio Party" as?
I always log my Zumba fitness sculpt and tone under "dancing, modern, twist", but I just got Zumba Cardio Party and it looks seriously INTENSE. For those of you familiar with this workout video in particular, would you classify it as high impact aerobics?

Skinny starbucks drinks (iced)
I'm having a super starbucks craving right now, BUT I only have 7 grams of my sugar intake left before going over into the stupid red zone!! I don't have much experience with the 'skinny' (i.e. sugar free?) drinks from starbucks, so I'm gonna need some help picking something! I've tried the tall iced skinny caramel…

RunKeeper or Cardio Trainer App?
I just downloaded RunKeeper, so I'll try it out today on my lunch walk, but I've had no problems with previously using Cardio Trainer, other than hearing that it's distance and calorie tracking can be inaccurate.. So for those of you who use smartphone apps when working out, which app do you prefer?

Ketchup has sugar??
I noticed on my food diary today that my ketchup I used has 8 grams of sugar for 2 tbsp. Lame. I eat ketchup with, literally, EVERYTHING, so taste is a big thing for me when and if I make the switch. With that being said, what does sugar free ketchup taste like? It may be a dumb question, but I cannot stand food/drinks…

Zumba Exhilarate
Does anyone own this or have tried it? I love my zumba sculpt and tone workout, but I want to switch it up before I get bored. I would join a class, but nowhere near my apartment has class schedules that I can make. :/ Anyways! Yeah, it's 90 bucks! I just want to be sure I'll be getting my money's worth for something like…

Bringing dogs to your job
I've always wondered about what types of jobs allow their workers to bring their trained dogs to work with them. Totally out of curiosity. :) What field of work? Do YOU bring your dog to work??

How do you guys log exercise for zumba workouts?
I simply type in "zumba" hoping for a ton of results, but nothing! Really? How do I log this? I just did 37 out of a 45 minute zumba video. It contained reggaeton, belly dancing, and salsa.

Packing food/drinks for Schlitterbahn!!
My family has always packed soda, capri suns and chips galore whenever we go to the beach, waterpark or anywhere on vacation. This time, it's my husband and I hitting up Schlitterbahn this weekend, so I can finally pack some reasonable choices for us! Any suggestions for foods that will not leave me in negatives when I log…

First time doing Turbo Jam.
I've been switching off of doing Just Dance 2 and Zumba, but I've recently aqcuired a Turbo jam video. It's an hour long, and I've already skimmed through the workout, checking it out. It looks crazy. I do pretty decent at holding my own when doing my 40 minute zumba vid, but what can I expect when I do this vid? Extreme…

Strawberry chiffon dessert
I found this Better homes and gardens recipe a few weeks ago and made it today. Completely completely in love with it. Its sooo light and airy and delicious! My husband who eats nothing but junky fat foods kept telling and telling me how awesome it came out! I just thought I'd share it with you guys. The recipe actually…

Is marscapone cheese super fattening? Help me with this rec
Just in case the subject was too long: Is marscapone cheese super fattening? Help me with this recipe! (If so, does a lighter/fat free version exist?) (I realize I can use cream cheese, but the picky husband won't eat it. He's curious to try marscapone, tho.) I've never used it, nor seen it in my local grocery store like…

How many cals for breakfast if your intake is...
set at 1500? I've always kept my breakfast under 500, or try to. You can check my diary; it's public, but I mainly just have really light things like greek yogurt, a bottled coffee, sometimes the occassional breakfast sandwich, or a single muffin. I read in a Yahoo article yuesterday that you should eat 600 cals for…

My neckfat is depressing me.
I ate like a damn garbage disposal yesterday, go ahead, look at my diary. I haven't played Just Dance 2 NOR Zumba in 2 days, and I had a dream that I had a rockin' bod like Rihanna. Shiz, hit to my ego. Plus, I just.. effin' hate my globby neck. Sad face. :(

Big girl swimwear.. :(
I don't know about you guys, but I'm definitely not one to wear the itsy bitsy bikini. Instead, I usually wear a SUPER flattering gigantic black shirt that hangs to my knees most of the time. I DID wear a cute tropical ( and sleeveless D: ) dress from Target the last time I went to Schlitterbahn, but I was really self…

Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred frightens me...
Yeah.. I finally got it downloaded and watched a little bit. This chick's gonna kill me. How did y'all manage it when you first started Day 1? (Mind you, I'm still huge so I can't even do 10 push ups and she's gonna have me doing 23049823!! D: )

Filling yet light breakfasts when you have 10 min. for break
I have to leave for work at 6:25am. I've tried. And tried, and tried to wake up earlier in order to get a good and decent breakfast, but alas, it can't be done, LOL. Right now, I'm eating those Jimmy Dean D-light turkey sausage sandwiches to pop in the microwave and go, but I'd just like a few more alternatives. And…

I just got called 'prego'. Super cool.
By my wonderful sister in law. -dripping with sarcasm- I don't give a damn if it was a joke or not, I'm already upset about my (non)weightloss adventures and I've already cried here at work. Way to add insult to injury, from someone in my FAMILY. Then again, I can't ever expect anything other than that from the inlaws.

"Skim milk making you fat?"
Any one catch that story on Yahoo about skim milk? I've always assumed it was always skim milk for weight loss. I'm kind of confused.. Discuss. There's the link -> http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/is-skim-milk-making-you-fat-2479492/

Type of exercise to get the work week started?
So yeah. It's Monday. I don't know about y'all but I hate working out on Monday's for some reason. No problems at all with any other days including Friday, just Monday. So what'll it be? Jogging? Zumba? Just Dance 2? SWIMMING? UGH.

I'm so bad at finding healthy chicken thigh recipes.. D:
As my title claims, I'm pretty bad at it, I don't even know why. I basically only have one goodie that I can keep using and not feel guilty eating; it's oven fried chicken thighs. But we're getting worn out on this recipe and need more ideas. :/ I tried a dijon mustard/ranch seasoning recipe last night and it didn't turn…
