Intervals, calories and HRMs
I've started trying intervals on the elliptical...I increase level and speed for 1 - 2 minutes then go back down for the same amount of time... I have 3 questions. Is there a good ratio I should be using (same time for each, or should I do the lower level for a shorter amount?) Also, when I log my exercise on here there…

PASTA!
I'm wondering what brand of pasta everyone uses. We don't eat a lot of it so I don't mind spending a little more on a really good brand. I want to use one that is healthier than just plain pasta, but have found that sometimes the whole grain kind has a funny texture. What's your favorite?

how much protein/carbs/fat...
How should my intake of protein/carbs/fat be broken down to lose weight the fastest? I've been working out (cardio and weights) so I'm thinking I should be higher on protein and keep fat and carbs lower, but not too low since I know I need these to fuel myself. What breakdown works for you? Thanks! :-)

Slim Fast 3 2 1
The new slim fast plan is to have 3 snacks, 2 slimfast meals and one health meal each day. I was looking for alternatives to the slimfast meals. I can't imagine my meal being a bar. Any suggestions on what I should substitute for lunch. I was just going to have a 200 calorie meal.

THANKS!!

I'm Back!
I've been part of this site for quite a while. I have not logged on since 7/21 though. I'm making a new commitment to be more faithful to the site, because it works GREAT! Fortunately I am still the same weight I was in July, unfortunately I have not lost anything in all that time.

Fage
So I saw the greek yogurt thread the other day and decided to try it out. I'm not a big fan of honey, so I just got the plain and put in some sliced strawberries. It was OK. I guess I am so used to that sugary regular yogurt. I really liked how creamy it was though. If I get regular plain yogurt and strain it does it turn…

Step Aerobics
I went to a step aerobics class today. I took one many years ago, but this one I just jumped into - I hope the other people there have been going for a while. I WAS SO LOST and the only one (really I looked around). I ended up walking out and doing some running on the treadmill (today's the first time I tried to run, it…

I lost my kid...
Today for fun I held my 4 year old when I got onto the scale...the weight was my starting weight...I have literally lost the same amount of weight as a small (medium) child!

Checking my Ticker

Off the Wagon...
I have been SO good at logging my food and keeping in check, but for about a week now I haven't logged on at all, and I haven't really paid all that much attention to what I have been eating (lucky for me I don't have that much junk in the house, aside from the Christmas cookies). Today is my new start, or my climb back on…

BLAH!
So I had some chinese food last night (chicken and broccoli) and felt terrible all night. I think my body was rejecting it! It just isn't used to that stuff anymore.

out to diner
So I'm having a girls night tonight and we're heading to applebees...I decided to hop on the website and plan my meal...now I know exactly what I can have for the rest of the day and still eat my yummy oriental chicken salad later tonight. Pre-planning is so helpful and makes me feel in control without giving anything up!

Halloween Candy Strategy....
So, my 4 year old's Halloween candy is kicking my butt! Here's my plan for it - any time I want even 1 piece of candy I have to have a full bottle of water or an apple (we went apple picking so we have a TON of apples) before I am allowed to eat it. Also, I was thinking about portioning up his candy into a reasonable…

Going out to dinner...
So I am getting ready to head out to dinner and I thought I'd pop on and enter what I plan on having to eat...BOY am I glad I did - I need to re-think my choice. I would have eaten more calories for dinner than I am allowed for the whole day!!!

FEWER CALORIES?!! What The Heck?
So MFP said I should re-evaluate my goals since I had lost weight, so I did...now I have 100 fewer calories each day :sad: That doesn't seem like a good reward for losing weight! (but how exciting to have reached that point) :sigh: I guess I'll just reward myself with some new clothes or something!

Off the wagon - what do you do?
So I was doing really great - I've lost over 30 pounds, then school started (I'm a teacher). Meetings and grading and lesson plans have taken the place of eating well and exercise. I thought I would start a thread about what you do when you fall off the wagon - not just for a day, but you have a change in the way your life…

How do I get on a Biggest Loser Team?
I keep seeing these Biggest Loser Teams...I want to play! Do I have to wait for another round or can someone draft me onto their team? :tongue:
