    my favorite food discovery would have to be a baked potato!!! knowing that i can eat one with light sour cream (40 cal for 2 tbsp!!!!)...and some 0 cal butter....im in heaven!!!!! im a carb-o-holic, soooooo knowing that really i can eat whatever i want just the right portions and making better choices, im all for it!!!

    my new exercise would be p90x...im in my first month. the reason that its a new discovery is because i never thought that i would actually be able to do it!...i've pushed myslef to new heights and limits that i never knew was in me!!!....im honestly proud of myself and can't wait to see where this takes me!!!!...well i guess i know where....down to my goal weight!!lololol...GO TEAM BLUE!!!!


    I love p90x too!!! What day are you on??

    I also discovered how much calories I burn when I go out dancing. Another reason to go out with the girls!

    Okay, my turn!

    THURSDAY QOTD: What is your favorite food and/or exercise "discovery" since starting this journey?

    Hopefully we can all get some ideas and tips from each other's answers!

    My favorite food since starting this journey is brussell sprouts {gasp} lol. I adore the little cabbages and eat them all the time. I also discovered a love of grilled asparagus. My favorite exercise, which I need to start doing again, are burpee's. I especially love to do them on the bosu ball, which is extra hard for me. :)

    My favorite food discovery is how much better I feel eating this way- When I do have a cheat day and eat fried or greasy or junk sugar I get really sluggish and feel pretty sick. I'm happy to see this is affecting me positively and my body will help me reinforce the new pattern ;)

    My favorite exercise discovery is that I can still run! I thought I couldn't anymore, because of how gross I feel for the first ten minutes. Apparently that was mostly dehydration and poor fueling, and now if I push through the first two minutes I feel great!

    THURSDAY QOTD: What is your favorite food and/or exercise "discovery" since starting this journey?

    Food: Definitely how much food I can have and still be under my calories. I love eating steamed veggies and don't feel a bit bad putting cheese slice to melt. Smoothies too! I add broccoli in my fruit smoothies and that helps tone down the sweetness.

    Exercise: Doing the 30 Day Shred easy level 1 is getting. I'm thinking about adding more videos to my workout each week.

    My 17 yr old daughter introduced me to Snackwells White chocolate Fudge popcorn. I have one package every day as my *treat*.

    They are awesome!

    Ricotta cheese! I had bought it before on occasion to use in lasagna for a change, but didn't know what to do with the rest of it. I saw a suggestion on an MFP thread to have a serving with a little liquid honey and blueberriess and sliced strawberries for breakfast. Now it is one of my favourite things for breakfast. Exercise wise, gotta say I am loving Zumba!

    THURSDAY QOTD: What is your favorite food and/or exercise "discovery" since starting this journey?

    I have to pick just one food? There are so many! To name a few: Laughing Cow cheeses, MiO water additive, Monkey Bars granola, air popped popcorn, couscous, Jello Live Active Milk Chocolate bliss, Greek yogurt. And, I have discovered that I really LOVE healthy food. So much so, in fact, that I almost always want it over the unhealthy crap I used to eat.

    As for exercise, well, we still haven't become friends.

    THURSDAY QUESTION: What is your favorite food and/or exercise "discovery" since starting this journey?

    Since I started using MFP I've started drinking much much more water. I've also decreased how many sweets I eat and I'm managing better than I thought. I am also eating a lot more fresh fruit and salads. As far as exercise, I've skipped getting on my treadmil only once this week. I've noticed that I have more energy when I get some cardio in my day (actually I use it at night after everyone sleeps).

    WEDNESDAY QUESTION: What is your goal weight and how did you decide on that number?

    My goal weight is between 135 and 140 and I chose this number because that's what I weighed before I got married. With this weight and my height I fall in the healthy BMI. I feel that at this weight I'm skinny but not too much.

    PS. SORRY FOR RESPONDING TO THIS QUESTION SO LATE BUT WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THIS CHAT I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE THE MOST RECENT POST AND THE MOST RECENT POST WAS STILL TUESDAY WHEN I LOOKED YESTERDAY.

    THURSDAY QUESTION: What is your favorite food and/or exercise "discovery" since starting this journey?
    My favorite food discovery was that one of my favorite things to eat is actually a ceasar salad. I crave those puppies, especially a grilled chicken ceasar salad. My favorite exercise discovery is that recently the workouts have been getting easier for me. This just means my fitness is improving and I need to up my speed and level.

    Since starting my weight loss journey I have rediscovered my love for fresh fruits and vegetables. I could eat them all the time! I have just been too lazy in the past to grab them from the bottom of the refrigerator and then by the time I would remember they were there they would be bad :(

    I don't have a favorite exercise, I am just enjoying using my body again.

    THURSDAY QOTD: What is your favorite food and/or exercise "discovery" since starting this journey?

    I never liked cottage cheese before, but ever since I tried it with whole grain Melba toast I absolutely love it. I also love vegetable trays and fruit salads! As for exercise...ehh...well I do enjoy using the elliptical and the arc trainer. I enjoy strength/weight training too and I'm starting to see results which is pretty exciting. =)
