Hello everybody! I joined this tribe to help with my eating. I feel like I've done relatively well over the last 1.5-2 months as far as working out ad eating goes, however, I have never got down in weight after my kids. I've tried several times. I...

Better than a scale is how do your jeans fit. There's nothing as rewarding as your jeans feeling loose even after coming out of the dryer! Those are always good days in my book.

You are all just great! Thanks! I like the thought that these are my muscles that are weigh not the fat ;) The scale will be hidden somewhere deep in the wardrobe

I've been getting my nuts from Holland & Barrett, though they are packaged.  The energy bars from there also.  I really need to read the labels, rather than assuming that if the food is from a health food shop it is...

I check every morning, however if my scales are not available (just moved and they are packed away still* I got out of the habit quickly.

More of a question than an answer.  What about nuts & energy bars.  Are they any good for stamina for working out or am I just being lazy ?

I've read somewhere on the internet that the best snack are raisins and bananas, because they give strenght. :)

My body just rejects things if I workout within an hour of eating.  So I get up ridiculously early, workout, then eat my protein like eggs and turkey sausage.

I can't eat before I work out, not even a snack with a period of waiting.  My stomach is super sensitive and I bloat during my workout regardless of what I have. 

I was told that you should always eat something before a workout, even if it is a cereal bar. Like Daniel said, apples are great 30-45mins before your workout as they are high in fructose, slow releasing energy (also...

2 bananas will give you enough energy for a 90min workout. They are packed full of potassium, fructose (as Daniel said, slow release) and carbs for energy. about an hour before your workout and you are set. In a prot...

Check out this link. It talks all about carbo loading from the Australian Institue of Sport. Also 2 bananas will give you enough energy for a 90min workout. Or you could have a pre-workout shake - Alcar and De...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the advice :)

you must eat properly to fuel your workout for proper results.  Remove carbs from your diet later in the day, and use them for fuel 1 - 1/2 hours before workout (complex carbs - pasta/oats/wholegrain pasta w/ serving...

I'm with Heather on the banana! It will stave off the hunger pangs but isn't too filling. But if I have the time... like Jarod I prefer to eat a meal then wait a couple hours before working out.

I try to not eat prior to working out.  I used to have a snack prior to but realized that I am just working those calories I just ate off.  I switched to waiting 2 hours to workout after I ate, that way my body relea...

What's a good pre-workout snack? I work out first thing in the morning and I have a protein bar first to hold me until breakfast. My favorites are Zone Perfect bars (I LOVE chocolate).
