Healthy Weight Loss

Gaige · 08-07-2011, 09:13 AM

So I usually just do a mile on the treadmill and 100 curls every morning when I get home from work. Yesterday though I was playing with the buttons and it started up in one of the 6 custom workout modes. They're all 30 minutes of various speed and incline changes and both days I ended up walking over 2 miles. Today's workout (park trail) was grueling but I made it through and have noticed that both yesterday and today the hunger that I had before the workout was gone after the workout. I think I can devote 30 minutes a day to improving my health.

My goal is 20 lbs

Does anyone watch Dr. Oz? A friend of mine was telling that this morning Dr. Oz was talking about healthy weight loss tips. this one in particular was referring to eating apples before your meal. Apples contain pectin and pectin help you to feel fuller longer.

I have read something about the health and weight loss benefits of apples awhile back in a Woman's World magazine. I probably eat a small apple almost ever day... but don't know if I could do 2 - 3 a day for any extended period of time.

Hey, remember the old saying "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away." Perhaps it has something to do with the pectin.

Hello, My name is Angie and I am addicted to Fuji's!

I have at least one Fuji apple a day and LOVE how they make my stomach rumble after eating. It's like all that natural fiber is getting in there and scrubbing around and getting out all that bad stuff

Fujis are crisp and sweet and you can get a giant bag at Sam'sClub for around $4!

I love to chop up an apple and put it in a salad

new motivating factor to exercise (in some way) every single day:

skipping workouts for three consecutive days results in abject pain when you re-start.

ouch!

I LOVE gala apples! The local grocery store by my house has been running them for 5 for $1!

One of my favorite summertime receipes is for chicken salad. I boil a couple of boneless chicken breasts (I'm sure you could use can chicken instead, but I've never tried it), I let 'em cool and then shred. I dice up 2 small apples and add in a handful of sliced almonds & cranberries (it's a salad topper mix they sell in the salad dressing aisle). Then I mix with a couple of tablespoons of the LIGHT miracle whip. And voila! I usually eat it on a sandwich thin or with unsalted crackers. YUMMY! It makes quite a bit, so you'll have lunch for a few days!

I also like diced apples in a spinach sald, with leftover grilled chicken and avacado slices with a LIGHT raspberry vinagrette dressing. Mmmmmmmm!
