I always brine mine and then bake it. Pinterest has a ton of baking options

Sorry should have added she is all over Pinterest.

I agree with the Skinnytaste.com I was showing of her website today at work. I still put the ingredients into mfp so I know I am accurate.

Chocolate with wine for me. With Strawberries, and 2 bottles sometimes. Switching the drink choice for me helps. Vodka, Soda, lime juice is low in calories, so I will not go way over. And there are not a lot of foods that it goes with.

The last 10-15lbs are usually the hardest. Do you switch up your workouts? Give 100% and see if your heart rate is at a higher level? As far as the macros vs calories are concerned, I have my goals to where they fit into both. I enter foods in before I eat them to see what the calories/macros will look like and keep trying…

Hockey Players, watching some of them skate backwards specifically. Something about the hip movements...hmm... Plus they have really strong legs from all that skating.

I call it Fall. Autumn sounds better, but I imagine autumn would be in a forest full of tree's with multi colored leaves...I think they have that in Minnesota.

Nice job! Can't wait to see the 20 and 30 day pictures!

Fill out the information in correctly here and get your logging under control. Depending on what you normally do every day it is hard to say what you should do for exercise. Start out slow, and work your way up. If you lose over 2 lbs per week, you need to change your activity setting. The system will calculate how many…

See what you like on YouTube. I like Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. It is a 4 week program. I would suggest doing the week program for only 2-3 days out of the week, instead of the 5 days per week. On the off days I do ab exercises. Check out Tone It Up, they have a lot of videos as well.

What exercise's do you currently do?

If someone knew the answer to this question they would be a billionaire.

I am back, and would love more friends who are supportive and want support. Logging for 35 days? I think that is correct. @d_capaldo You have to click on the profile name 2 times, and it will ask if you want to add as a friend.

Healthy muffins! Fiber, blueberry, lemon, banana. Pinterest has lots of great healthy recipe options. I use it most to make banana bread muffins.

I think that your suggestions are great ideas. Although if they were to be implemented, you would have to pay extra. I have always tracked my Whole Grains separately, and I suggested that they add that on the nutrition values, not sure if they do on the advanced version. I was trying to remember the other day where I first…

Hot Pink! Limited Edition with a glass bowl!! LOVE IT!!!!

1200 is tough - It is not long term so being prepared is key. I usually keep frozen meals (no preservatives) on hand just in case I have not prepared so I have options that fit in my calories. Breakfast - RX Bar & Starbucks Coffee 400 cal Lunch - 1/2 Caesar Wrap 1/2 spinach wrap, romaine lettuce, Chicken Breast, Caesar…

Hello and Welcome!! Hope MFP gives you the tools you need and the community gives you the support you need to accomplish your goals. Personally, adding friends who have the same or similar goals is very helpful. Being able to see their diary's and getting great idea's with what others are actually doing is awesome.

Because the person who invented it called it football.

Did great not drinking this weekend... thanks to a cold/ stomach bug. Felt like I have been hungover the whole time. Hope everyone is doing good and staying strong.

So I just re-read my previous post, and wanted to add something about the lemon juice. I rarely have fresh lemon juice. I get frozen lemon juice, it is by the frozen orange or apple juice. It comes in a bottle. Closest I have found to fresh squeezed. It also works great to add some flare to H2O. I also use True Lemon…

Tough loss last week for Boise. Can't believe WA didn't "Coug it" like they normally do.

I used to cheer for the Redskins when Clint Didier played for them. It was a family obligation, my Aunt married his brother.
