OL...maybe you have to build up bottom cheeks?

You just have to get used to it - I have the same issue. My butt and bike seats are just not friends!

Thank you thank you thank you OL for bringing back this thread. I've never gained so much over a summer as this one - its usually winter time padding. OMG. I meant to lose 10, but it went the other way.

now please.... inspire me.

i've been on a roll this week, i plan my meals by meal replacement bars.(oh yeah bars) 2 a day. so i buy just enough at the store to last the week, i go in the kitchen earlier for my lunch bar, and they're gone. mr.aggb had eaten the @%$^&*@ things.:angry:

Both my kids like them too. I buy the Special K meal bars. I can't really complain if they eat them b/c at least it's healthy and not a candy bar or something else. I guess you're going to have to buy extra or resort to hiding them! Whatever works.

It's so darg hard to eat healthy. I am craving a bagel or a brownie right now but eating baby carrots instead.:angry:

I need to get past my sugar addition again...for me that's the hardest part.

I was curious and deep down really hoping this thread would catch fire again.

Here is a quick little health and fitness quiz. Take a real good look at the labels below. I am going to try and post pictures so I apologize if I butcher the attempt.

Product
(A)
(B)
Calories
130
220
Calories from Fat
10
25
Total Fat
1g
3g
Saturated Fat
.5g
1g
Total Carbs
29g
40g
Sugars
20g
35g
Protein
2g
10g​

Now answer the following questions.
1. Should either product be included in a health and fitness program?
2. Which is actually marketed as a 'weight loss' shake?
3. Is either label a chocolate Yoo-Hoo?
4. Is either label a chocolate slim fast?

The answers may surprise you.
1. No, although reasonable in calories far too much sugar.
2. B is that of a very popular weight loss shake.
3. Yes, Label A is Yoo Hoo.
4. Yes, Label B is Chocolate Slim Fast.

Pretty scary stuff huh? Just goes to show you how deceptive labels and their manufactures can be.

If the goal is fat loss and a speedy metabolism then you have to watch the sugar intake. Sugar is hidden in all types of creative ways so keep an eye out for it when consuming health drinks and smoothies.

Keep in mind that the majority of health drinks marketed as such is nothing more than sugar and milk and ironically, chocolate Yoo-hoo is healthier for you than Slim Fast.

Also when making/ordering your smoothies be sure that your getting real fruit instead of syrup and take into account extra sugar grams when using milk as well.

BEWARE the label deceptors and use your fitness sense to lead you in the right direction. If it tastes way too yummy you may need to find out exactly what went into the making of it.

Skip the YooHoo! Skip the Slim Fast!

Drink Guinness instead.

When I read labels and watch what I eat I find it hard to get enough calories to burn fat. I track my nutrition on www.sparkpeople.com and I need to look into their diet. It is recommended I eat 1200 calories a day and I usually end up around 1000.

Thanks for this revival OL! I was doing good this week - eating healthy and have walked 9 miles. However, today not so good - I am too exhausted to walk & have been into the chocolate. I need to get back on track.
