It was much easier for me to give up the alcohol than to give up the occasional bread, pasta, dessert, so that is what I've done. I will have a cocktail about once a month when out on a special night, but the whole evening tends to go off the rails, so I keep it very seldom. But I'd rather be thin than drunk. Ha-ha

Thanks everyone! I do wear the stiff bike cleat shoes for spin, which I agree is important. I roll on lacrosse balls, and love the idea of KT tape. I think I have some in the medicine drawer somewhere. Going to go find it now. Thanks for all of your thoughts and ideas. I feel better about spinning now. Good luck to…

I feel like I'm lucky that I love seafood and also love salad and vegetables. When I go to a nice restaurant I limit my menu search to a great piece if fish and a wonderful hopefully inventive salad or veggie to go with it. At our local joint where my husband and I always often nip out to for a late dinner without kids,…

Just today I finally had to go to the mall and buy a couple pair of pants. I'm 5'3.5" and started at 180 and size 12 pants. I've continued to wear them but have lost 16 pounds and they really weren't looking very good. Today I bought four pair of size 8. So excited. I'm just a little bummed out about my closets full of…

Hearts of palm! Low-cal, nice texture and tanginess, great in salads with your other ingredients. Comes in a tin (or can depending on your continent). Or jarred artichokes...

Thanks, everyone. I've been sick that last couple of days so haven't really been too active (on MFP or otherwise). But I'm excited to look at some diaries and add some new friends who are in the 1200 zone. I find it quite hard to stick to it day in and day out. Sometimes I read the comments of people who talk so…

That can't be all, I've got my popcorn too...

I love most of my vegetables roasted. I just cut them up into bite sized pieces, toss with olive oil, s&p and some crushed red pepper (important) and roast in convection oven, tossing from time to time until done. Will depend on how much moisture is in them. Love the combo of onions, mushrooms, butternut squash, zucchini…

Rice cake smeared with peanut butter! Can't go to bed without it, I'm afraid.

I have her book and did her diet for one month, about a year ago. Very complicated and restrictive. I lost four pounds and it came back when I was done. No discernible "change" in my metabolism. I'm not militant about the strategies espoused by MFP but I am willing to say that if you are looking for a long term lifestyle…

This is for MBL512- I think that you should not try to go all out for a hard core exercises routine, but rather start with more gentle but consistent classes. Try gentle yoga, stretching, aqua aerobics if you can find it. Or fun Zumba or similar. If you have a community Ymca or other gym, start there. If do classes rather…

If the evening binge was a habit, develop a new habit, like talking a walk, taking a long hot bath, reading a book, walking on a treadmill, watching TV in bed with a cup of herbal tea, (and nothing else). Crafting? Planning your spring garden? Next renovation? Next Christmas list? Get creative. But don't do any of it in…

I am 48 years old. 5'4" and until three weeks ago was 180lbs. I have always been active, exercised regularly, eaten clean and healthfully, but as I've gotten older the weight just slowly creeped up. I finally went to my doctor after trying every diet strategy known with no success. She turned me on to MFP. I really am…

My hubby actually got me the fitbit Aria scale for valentines day (I asked for it instead of chocolates!). I really like it because it syncs with fitbit and MFP and will keep a record over time. I'm into this weight loss and getting healthy kick right now so I'm so happy with it, and my hubby. Time will tell how accurate…

Perfect goal and timeframe for me. How do I join in?

Oh, thanks. I thought it referred to how the website did its calculations. Thanks for clarification.

I'm in. I've been using mfp for two weeks now and haven't lost anything, but honestly might have cheated a bit. Now I want to get serious, accurate, honest. Lmk what to do.
