HMMMM I must be missing a post ..Apple can u copy to me the 30day post idea u mentioned..thanks..
Well todays weigh in was 225 so down 4lbs since last monday...my official weigh in is monday but because of some challenges i weigh in on wed,friday...im slowly hitting that 50 pound mark..well not slowly lol but slow to me...haha..
M, my ultimate goal is 120'ish but Im going to look more into my goal once I hit 150...:drinker: the main problem with pants for me is my lower body is pretty much in good shape ..its my tummy thats horrid...but in the junior section they sell these button up jeans there is no zipper and they are kinda high in the waist so it holds everthing in nicely LOLOL....although I was eyeing a pair of Dereon jeans my goal my gawd so worth it i cant wait http://shop.dereon.com/nshop/product.php?view=listing&dept=Women&groupName=Jeans&both=yes
Omg those jeans are so hot!!!!! And they actually have them in my size! Although they'll probably be way too long, but I love the moonshine skinny jeans. You can reach that goal! You go, girlie :flowerforyou:
I think posting exercise and foods is a great idea M =]
B: A cup of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal with Fat Free milk w/ Organic Flax Meal sprinkled on the top, but I could only eat around half. My appetite goes way down during TOM.
I worked out on the new elliptical machine, and burned off most of the breakfast calories. =]
I'm not sure what I'm going to have for lunch, but I will post after I have it. =]0 -
I went over on my calories yesterday... my boyfriend's sister is in town and we went out to a restaurant. So today I am trying to be under on calories... does anyone disapprove of this method? I try not to put myself in a situation where I have to "make up" for calories eaten the day before but sometimes I do.
I worked out at 6:30am this morning which is always a great start!
I had a Kashi Go Lean protein & fiber Roll bar this morning before I worked out... it had 12g protein and 6g fiber and 190 calories. I usually try to eat whole foods and not bars but I'm pretty much out of groceries because it was such a busy weekend. When I got to work I had a piece of whole grain toast with 2 oz chunk light tuna and 10 sprays of Wishbone Italian Spritzer salad dressing. Then I had an orange.
I like the idea of posting what we eat, keeps me accountable.0 -
I'm in for tracking!
My day so far... I do smaller meals throughout the day, trying to get in a fruit or veggie with each meal. Lean proteins, good carbs, healthy fats. :bigsmile:
Pre-workout:
Small banana (90)
Workout:
ChaLean Lean Circuit #1
Post-workout meal:
1/4 c. old fashioned oatmeal, 1/4 c. Quaker multi grain hot cereal, 1/4 c. Fiber one
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 T. Naturally More Peanut Butter, 1/3 c. cottage cheese
6oz broccoli (not with the oatmeal - :laugh: ) = 418
Meal:
1 c. Meijer Nonfat plain yogurt
1 T. Naturally More (NM) PB
1/4 c. Nature's Path Pumpkin Flax Granola cereal
1/4 c. Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal
Fuji apple, medium = 4230 -
Wow...that sounds like super clean eating, but I can't eat that much in a day. It sounds so nutritious and healthy though. =] Good job :flowerforyou:I'm in for tracking!

What are your cal levels?? I find that the mini meals really help me. Now that I am a lot more lean muscle... I can eat more.
I could never go as low as MFP would recommend for me. :noway: Did you read the post just posted about explaining it well? It had some cal calculators, take a look at it! 0 -

Good job tossing the temptations! I've tossed away plenty of *bad* foods instead of eating them. Better to go to WASTE than to go to WAIST!!!!

I stick with the calorie intake that MFP suggests. It's hard for me to get to that point at times though. To try to eat more food would be way too much food for me, even if it is super clean and healthy. =] It's cool that your lean figure allows that, but I'm not at at that point yet. =] I'm also a teeny 5 feet lol
Did I read what post about explaining what well? The calories for my breakfast was 268, but I couldn't stomach all of it. =/
Have a great day! :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm working on a higher protein/lower carb eating plan, which works for me because it takes away all my cravings & makes my life so much easier.
breakfast is almost always the same because I love it!
1 egg, 1/8 c shredded cheddar, 1 thin slice ham diced - all scrambled together
lunch is almost always the same, too, with variations on the veggies:
1 grilled chicken breast, no skin
2 stalks celery
those yummy little red yellow & orange sweet peppers
grape tomatoes or pea pods
Dinner varies, but always chicken or beef, green salad & veggie. Sometimes a stir fry, but we grill a lot.0 -

Sounds yummy! Is the curry chicken homemade? I would love to have the recipe? =]
Lunch: 1 cup of homemade Shiratake Noodle soup. ( calorie count: 123 according to calorie counter)
It contains: One package of the noodles, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks, and 1 can of sweet corn. I used the organic chicken broth powder for the broth, but I didn't drink any of it. I'm not a fan of broth lol
I have lots leftover, and will probably have it for dinner or lunch tomorrow.
Snack: 1 medium banana ( 90 calories)0 -

Curry Chicken Mya Papaya Style LOL
Chicken Thighs you can take skin off or keep it on or you can use chicken breast
You need to make this in dutch over or pot on top of stove that has lid
Curry Powder
Scallions
Potato chopped into little squares *if you choose*
1 carrot chopped
1 tomato chopped
1 bay leef
sprig of Thyme
salt & pepper
1 clove garlic chopped fine
put all the ingredients in the pot with the chicken coated in curry powder mix it all together and let sit in fridge for 5-24hrs
then cook on stove top medium-low heat until chicken is done and carrot and potato are tender do not add any water only add chicken broth if it begins to stick...I usually never have to add anything the chicken will make the juice itself.
Serve over jasmine rice *u can use instant*
the other way to do this is just to coat the chicken in curry and bake it and omit all other ingredients but its not as good.:bigsmile:0 -

I made a not so good choice the other day about junk food but i'm back on track.....i threw away the temptation anyways so life is going pretty good right now!
i am so super-proud of you for making such a speedy turnaround - i ususally "fall" for days and then it is soooo much harder to start over. awesome!
i am all for posting meals - i agree it helps in accountability! i love this team... :happy:
breakfast is pretty much always cereal (special k) with 1/2 banana and some raisins or fresh fruit plus low fat soy or skim milk
today i snacked on a yogurt, pear, some melon and cukes (oh! and one nutrigrain bar that i ran for when my mum ordered dunkin donuts!!! yikes!)
lunch was a turkey dog on the run - i love them!
dinner was steamed baby spinach and grilled chicken
i really feel like i am missing one more thing, but i totally can't remember anything else! it was a very busy day as i am headed home early tomorrow morning. i will be traveling for almost 15 hours so i am packing lots of healthy snacks for the plane: grapes, leftover grilled chicken sandwhich, plus some dried fruit.
i am off to workout at the gym - i did an hour on the treadmill last night (mostly fast walking, but with weights!) and i'm going to try to work in some more running this evening! yea!0 -

I just did another workout on the elliptical machine, yaay! I can't stop using it, I absolutely love it!0 -
Well I'm glad I did my workout this morning before I went to class. Just had a late night studying. I was hoping to get another one in but I kept my calories pretty low today so I feel ok about it. I think I'm getting addicted to exercise though. When you start daydreaming about when you can run again or how hard your next workout is going to be...well, I LOVE it! :laugh: :laugh:
Great job everyone! Mya I saw your shout-out to our thread on your profile. Love it!
Sweet, sounds like you are in love with the elliptical. Nice!
Meisje, Have a safe trip home and we'll be looking for you soon.
Everyone's recipes sound good. I'm going to have to get creative!0 -

Hey all, just checkin in to say hi.........been under the weather lately, stickin with my cals, but on top of feeling uder the weather, my fridge went out 2 days ago, the heater in my home stopped working, my dish washer is broken and I had a leaky sink.....and then 2 letters from the IRS......so it's been a rough one. I was not able to workout 2 of 3 days due to strange migrain/dizziness/nausea, but I have been taking vitamins and resting up. Feeling better today, so I will be back at it again tomorrow. Looks like I have alot of reading to catch up on things.

I am wondering if we should start a new BRING IN forum for March??? So we don't have too many pages to wade through, and can keep up with it daily and start a new thread every month like in Clean Eating? Just a suggestion, wondering what everyone else thinks.0

I'm off to the Y for my speedwork run, so have a good one! 0 -
I haven't been as disciplined about logging my food as I'd like... so I'm going to make a commitment to post my food for the day here at the end of every night. If I don't have time/ Internet access that night, then I'll post it first thing in the morning, or the next time I'm at a computer. That will keep me accountable and you are guys are free to give me suggestions/ pointers about what I eat.
Jess, I finally bought the ingredients and made my own "Breakfast Wrap" this morning!!! I only used half a tortilla to save on calories/ carbs, 1 banana, and 1 TB each of natural Peanut Butter (I had to buy Smuckers because it was the only natural kind the grocery store had) and honey. It was delicious!!!
For the last two days I've worked out at the gym before work with my friend... I love starting out the day that way.0 -
