Weight Loss	Should I consider this a positive?	Jun 22 2006 01:31 (UTC)
Apparently it gives you slightly different readings throughout the day according to how hydrated you are, if you've eaten, bathed, etc., according to the booklet. Mine have been very, very close to each other, so I haven't worried. Tiamat, there are several ways, some of them really expensive, some of them as easy as a caliper (although that one is apparently not always accurate for all people.) I just bought a scale that claims it can tell your body fat percentage through a low-level electrical signal it sends through your body. The signal can't flow through fat well, but it can flow through muscle and everything else, giving you a body fat reading. Google body fat percentage though, because there is loads of info out there and I'd hate for me to give you limited knowledge.

Yes, that's what I just bought. You're going to tell me it doesn't work aren't you? lol.
Weight Loss	Fat Loss Beyond Calories In & Calories Out	Jun 21 2006 19:31 (UTC)	39
Upon further studying the three types, I think I have qualities of both the apple and the pear. Is following 40-40-20 still my best bet?

Coachdee, this was so insightful. Thank you. I'm so definitely an apple. I've never understood why my stomach is so out of proportion and huge. I will try those new ratios, and the new way of exercising.:) I am going to have to train myself to not feel guilty if I'm not breathing hard!;-) Is vegetarianism a pretty good thing for an apple as long as we get enough protein?

Hey Erin, how about some nuts and peanut butter, along with sugar free jam? You could get some Matzo or melba toast to spread it on. Matzo is very good.

Just stare at them as if they have said something very rude, which they have.

Motivation	weekends	Jun 19 2006 19:31 (UTC)	5
Hey Ruthie, It's okay! I give myself a cheat day every Saturday per recommendation from my personal trainer. He advises all of his clients to do this, as then you won't want to cheat during the week, and you'll stay sane. In fact, he told me to have two cheat days a week--I just chose to cut down to one. Maybe just have one beer, if you really feel like it's what you're craving? Don't feel guilty!
Weight Loss	Quick question	Jun 19 2006 19:14 (UTC)	1
Thanks guys. Hkellick, OnDemand is a service of my cable company--you can order movies and watch tv shows and workout segments for free. The OnDemand workouts vary, but unfortunately they are usually only 20 minutes long. The thing is, I'm so tired at the end of them because they really work you. I've done cardio blast and a bellydancing shimmy workout. About the calories, I'm hoping 1600 will be okay. I think I'll try it and see. Slappy, when I'm at the gym, I usually do 35-45 minutes on the elliptical and 40 minutes doing circuit training (two sets of 12 reps on about 12 machines.)

Thanks, ix. I'm a veggie girl, which I forgot to mention. I may try the apple/peanut butter, at least it's good fats. Can you tell me what the main difference is between organic peanut butter and non-organic? Thank you.
Weight Loss	Cheat Day	Jun 18 2006 18:41 (UTC)	3
My trainer had told me to have 2 cheat days a week. I scaled it back to one after two months, as this just works better for me. He said that you can have whatever you want on that day. Interestingly, I find that I always have at least one healthy meal on my cheat day. I've never gone hugely overboard. He did say though that if you want to eat something major like a large pizza and a coke, have it because it's your cheat day, and it will keep you sane for the rest of the week.
Fitness	Curves calories	Jun 18 2006 18:03 (UTC)	8
Before you join Curves, you may want to look at where your money is going to. The owner/founder gives a ton of his money to a certain political party (to charities too, which is good, but the political affiliation was a bad one for me.) For some of you, this may be a wonderful thing, but for me it wasn't and so I had to quit Curves.

Fitness	Wow! Running...	Jun 17 2006 04:09 (UTC)	24
Awesome, finewine! Drea--wear shades, hold your head high and maybe even picture yourself "thin" in your mind as you run if that's what it takes. Or you could run on the elliptical at your college athletic complex if that would be better for you.

I just had a Morningstar corn dog and my grade is still an A for the day, so they're not that bad. Also, it was very good! You should try one.

Try the mini bags of smart pop kettle corn. They're sweet and low cal.

Has anybody else tried the mini bags of smart pop kettle corn? It's so good.
Foods	Protein shakes--need advice	Jun 16 2006 00:59 (UTC)	1
I used to eat soy protein in L.A. Weight Loss bars, which were so good. However, today I've had a bad run-in with soy, which makes me sad as I used to like eating soy protein as a part of my diet. Now I'm hoping the whey protein doesn't do the same thing. I am so freaking bloated!

I hope you all know that I went out and bought cereal today because I started craving it after this post.;-) It's high fiber, high protein Kashi, so I don't feel guilty!

Rahana, have you had the chocolate mint? I'm thinking of it, but I don't want to if it's going to be gross.

rahana, do you use one scoop, as the serving size suggests? I do think I'm going to purchase it today. Thanks! I'm excited.:)

Here's my breakdown so far today: Fat - 12.3% (8 grams) Protein - 24.6% (35 grams) Carbohydrates - 63.1% (89 grams) Alcohol - 0.0% Other - 0.0% Daily Sodium Intake - 1225 mg Daily Fiber Intake - 24 grams This is what I've had so far (I also just bought fruit which I will have lots of later) Item Grams Calories Thu, Jun 15 2006 Breakfast B eggbeaters 61 30 B eggbeaters 61 30 C+ 1/2 honey wheat bagel 47 130 B- sugar free blackberry jam 17 10 Lunch A Lettuce, Cos Or Romaine - Raw 56 10 A Black Beans 76 70 C Newman's Light Balsamic Vinagrette 30 45 Snacks B Kashi GoLean Bar 45 150 Total Calories Consumed 475 Nutrition Grade A- I feel like I usually eat well. Carbs are my weakness, but today's so far number of 63 percent is higher than normal for me. I am generally at 45-53% carbs. I ate a Kashi bar for the first time so that's probably why it's high. I generally try to stay away from too much processed stuff. How did you learn about your allergy, slappy? Did it make you ill?
