Has anyone tried it?? just wondering.....

As a fitness pro what is your Biggest Challenge right now?

I have been upping my exercise for the last 6 months (running 4 miles a day for 5 days a week) and I find that my periods are not on their usual schedule, they are quite unpredictable (shorter cycles too). Currently not on a strict diet, but I restrict what I eat. Is it common that the stress...

I want to maintain my weight, stay slim and have flat tummy. How about you? What’s your ultimate fitness vision?

These are GOOD! I can't drink milk or eat dairy... although I have eaten ice cream and paid for it later with an upset GI tract. These Tofutti fudge sicles are only 95 calories. They have ZERO sugar in them and no artificial sweetner either. They are YUMMY! They taste so good that younger DS...

Did y'all indulges and let yourself have all the sweets and goodies? I did eat sweets but tried not to eat too much. I was down to 125... and with the past 2 days of eating turkey and sweets and what not I gained almost 2 lbs!!! Funny thing is that DH was trying to cut down on sugar and exercise as...

:smileyh:

my problem right now, well that and the chocolate monster attacks!:smileyh:

I overheard someone say you should always have a little protein snack after exercising. So what kind of protein snacks? The only thing I can think of is a handful of nuts or a tablespoon of peanut butter. But I am not sure if that's good or I should do that too often since the nuts have fat. So any...

I just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be your BC since 2006/2007...:smileyh: I would have never lost weight or have kept it off if it wasn't for you ladies. :smileyh: :smileyh: I will miss you all and I hope you reach your weight loss goals. Please feel free...

I started in September at 156 and had a goal to be at 133 by my birthday, 12/10. I weighed in at 135.6. All things considered, not bad. Of course, now I think I want to shoot for 127, but I haven't given it earnest thought. Now to on to Phase II, firming my saggy butt! :tongue: Anyhow, I...

I've been stuck in the 160's for 3 months now. Enough is enough!! :jester: I'm about to ditch WW and follow the 17 day diet plan. :jester: The before & after photos are amazing. :) Is anyone here doing the 17 day diet? :) I can't see myself eating eggs/egg whites for breakfast w/o...

I guess this is a Southwestern kind of dish. How exactly do you make your eggs and black beans? Do you count the eggs as your protein and the beans as a 2nd protein? What kind of salsa do you use? It sounds pretty yummy. Always looking for ways to jazz up those egg whites in the am! Thanks!

My most diliked activity-lol! I really do hate coordinating tops and bottoms and trying to find the right size and outfit. I am too chicken to try out that "personal shopper" thing at the Occasional Wife store since it is paid. Someone told me that most major department stores have "personal...

Did you all see this diet program on the dr. phil show? ;) P.I.N.K. Method | Home

With this 17 day diet I am eating more salads than ever so I thought we could share some favorites! We have been on the road driving to Florida earlier in the summer and this past week drove to NC so I think I can say I have had most every salad at McD's and Wendy's!!! As far as dressings...

Saw this on Yahoo: Eating right isn't just about weight loss—the nutrients you take in can have a serious effect on how you think, feel, and look! Our bodies and our feelings are nothing more than reflections of the various chemicals flowing through our system on a daily basis. Make sure those...

I have been eating WAY healtheir than I was. I have cut out a lot of carbs and am eating lots of protein, veggies, and some fruit, and also limited fats. I am exercising very moderately. Several Moms that I see at least once a week since our kids go to school together have said "Where are you?" (as...

I dumped the kids bags of candy into some temporary boxes. Put them up high on the dressers so the dog couldn't get to it and eat it. I have been bringing those boxes in the car with me so they can eat the Halloween candy when I pick them up from school carpool line. I was hoping the candy would...

I know the popular consensus for a normal amount is around 250-350 grams a day. I think I am going to try 100 grams a day and see how that goes. What are some good easy to measure out lower calorie, low carb food ideas? I printed a list of fruits and veg. And is there a scientific reason...

DH has to have BREAD with his spaghetti. I am talking like 4 pieces!!! Also when MIL had us over to dinner the other night she had 4 starches: lima beans (that is a starch not a veggie, right?) crescent rolls (starch and lots of fat since there's tons of butter) corn (again that is not a...

Have been doing WW at work program since May and I have lost 16 lbs. My goal is to loose about 60 and it is going very slow but I had put on around 15 lbs in last few years on top of my normally overweight body so at least those are gone. I hope to loose 20 by the time I turn 50 years old at the...

Kamili you asked about carbs on 17 Day Diet. So I would really try and get the "good carbs" in for breakfast: steel cut oatmeal that I make with diced apples, hot cereal mix with quinoa, barley, triticale, etc.... Or if you want to do the carb at lunchtime I would do brown rice cakes and spread...

I just saw some of these mixes. I read the ingredients and it says "all natural" so I am assuming it does not have fake sweetner like aspartame, sucralose, or aselfame that give me GI trouble. It does list stevia and that is fine with me. It also lists dextrose I think.... isn't that another name...

I am doing it. Ate some major carbs and sweets this Father's Day week-end so not sure if I should start again counting day 1 or just continue on. If anyone else is doing this and wants to check in let's be diet buddies.
