I usually get the Artisan Chicken sandwich, no fries. It's still a lot of calories, but not as many as say a Big Mac. I actually hadn't had a Big Mac for about a year and broke down and ordered one a few weeks ago. It was horrible, so tasteless. I can't imagine how I used to like those things.

I bought two 8 oz boxes last week at Walmart to make a cheeseball for tomorrow,

I make something similar to the above as a cheese ball. Dried beef chopped up, cream cheese, 1 t. Worcestershire sauce, and chopped onion. We spread it on crackers. Make it the night before and refrigerate. It travels very well.

I love walking outside, but when the weather is just too bad I walk inside on the treadmill. You actually use muscles differently when you walk outside than you do on the treadmill, per my podiatrist.

I had green tea with honey this morning.

I had an English Muffin with lite Laughing Cow cheese wedge and coffee.

Not long ago, we did chicken kabobs and corn on the cob over the fire while camping. Last time, I took a big bag of raw veggies to snack on. I even did stir-fry veggies over the campfire once using a disposable grill rack.

If you are afraid to leave it cooking while gone, maybe do a trial run on a day when you're home to watch it. I couldn't live without my slow cooker. We use it mostly for cooking roasts or BBQ ribs, but I've made all kinds of stews and soups in it too. Also, invest in some of those slow cooker liners to help with clean up.

That's why my podiatrist told me to stop using the treadmill. It was causing a strain on the leg muscles.

Kettlebell is listed in the exercise database as "Gym, Kettlebell".

Deleted. Answered the wrong question.

I had PF for about a year. I tried all the things recommended with no relief. I finally went to the podiatrist where he had custom shoe inserts made for me. They helped a lot, but I still had pain. After a few weeks, he gave me the steroid shot and that took care of it. That was almost 2 years ago and still no more pain.…

My husband bought his Schwinn at Walmart and loves it. We don't ride as often as we'd like to, so we bought our first bikes at Walmart to see if we were going to like it and stick with it. If we start riding more, we'll probably invest in better, more expensive bikes. Also, if you walk a lot, you might built up your…

My doctor prescribed it for me to take because of leg cramps.

I have a regular Alta now and used to have a regular Charge and I like the Alta better. I wish they had had the Alta HR when I got mine. That will be my next one.

I used to do the Aqua-aerobics class when I belonged to my local Y and I loved them. Good workout.

I favor boneless chicken thighs also. They have much more flavor than chicken breasts.

I usually have a protein bar and water about an hour before a workout. Afterward, it's plain water or Propel Fitness Water.

We went camping over the weekend and this is my chicken kabobs and stir-fry cooked over the fire.

After seven months of doing all the things I had read online, I finally went to the doctor. He fitted me with special insoles and eventually had to get a steroid shot in my foot. It wasn't as bad as people had told me and I haven't had any pain for five months now. He also told me to stay off the treadmill, which likely…

I hate to workout too, at first. Once I get out there and start, I feel so much better and have more energy. I have to make myself do it, but the rewards are worth it.

The MFP Ops twitter feed posted 10 hours ago that they are working on the problem. Hopefully, it will get fixed soon.

I don't use any sauce. I stir fry the veggies with some olive oil and then add the already cooked chopped chicken pieces to crisp them up a bit.

My favorites are the Leslie Sansone walking videos. She has DVD's, but you can see some of her workouts on YouTube. I use alternate between a DVD and her YouTube videos for a variety.

I cut them up and add them to my stir-fry veggies, or just grill them on my George Foreman grill.

Lilymay2, Thanks for the welcome. Right now, I exercise at home to a DVD. Once it gets warmer, I can do my walking outside again and rejoin the local YMCA. I love walking on their indoor track. Carol

This sounds really good. How many calories per serving is this?

Hello, everyone. I'm new here and hope that by joining, I can get my rear back in gear again. I used to be very active, but a problem with my foot stopped my progress. Before my foot problem, I had lost 35 pounds on MFP, but most of that has been gained back. I've been given the go ahead to start working out, but have to…

When I went to the local YMCA, I liked their water aerobics class.
