A Mercedes-Benz GL450. And I happen to own it already. ;) If you could pick ANY superpower, which one would you like to have?

I had 40 gr. of Dr. Oetker's double chocolate Muesli with 175 ml. fat free milk... imported from Germany. Nom! :) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0037UC2VU/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1430046500&sr=1&keywords=oetker

Confession... I spent over $500 in 2 days, purchasing additional cook tools from William Sonoma, supplements from Sephora, super foods (powders) from Whole Foods and so on... I am already eating below my set calories. Every single day. But all of these things I bought are meant to make my cooking experience a more pleasant…

5 kg. (11 lbs.) in 11 days... ;)

Am I the only one who actually enjoys logging? :wink:

I used to drink Diet Coke or Coke Zero. (The regular one was too sweet for me.) I've been drinking natural sparkling water for a while now. I also pick natural flavored sparkling water on occasion. It's sooooo much better for you. ;) Artificial sweeteners (found in diet sodas) are known to trigger insulin. And that sends…

Pre-make your dinner/snacks in the morning... This way, you'd have something healthy ready to eat as soon as you come home from work. ;)

Nice! :) What does your workout regimen include, 1nelle? 1 hr 45 min sounds great! Do you do it every day?

I bought this one about a year ago. And it's been working well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OU4E62/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They have cheaper/smaller elliptical machines too. Like this one:…

Go to the My Home tab (in the upper left corner.) Then click on "Goals." You will see a "change goals" button. Click it and change whatever you want to. ;)

Now this might sound a bit harsh, but I have to say it: If "your motivation is zero", there is very little (if any) chance that you'll succeed. You have to find things that motivate you in order to achieve your goal(s.) A lot of things worth having/doing are tough to achieve. But the tougher it is to get there, the more…

I started one for us. :) Here's the link for it: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/105474-lose-100-pounds-by-12-31-2015 Feel free to join. There are already 10 of us in there. And I've sent more invites. The more, the better... :)

How nice! :) You've already lost a lot of weight in 5.5 weeks. Good job! What do you do for cardio? I don't have "cheat days" per se. But my husband and I go to a nice restaurant once a week. We don't overindulge. But I'd get something like filet mignon with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes (no butter and no bacon.)…

I'm going to start... Age: 28 Height: 5'6" (168 cm) Current weight: 134.7 kg. (296 lbs.) Goal weight: 66 kg. (145 lbs.) How many calories do you consume currently? - 1,560 How many times a day do you eat? - I try to eat 2 meals and 3 snacks Do you prepare your meals at home? - Yes! :) I love to go grocery shopping and…

I'm in! :) I'm starting to go to the pool on Friday...

Hey! :) I'm looking to lose 150 lbs. I've lost 8.8 so far (in 10 days.) But I know that you lose weight quicker in the very beginning. I'm eating 1,560 calories a day. And I'm going to start swimming on Friday. I already got a membership to a local pool (with my husband.) We plan on going 5 times a day for 60 min. It's a…

I don't have "goal specific" rewards. But if I reach my final goal, my husband and I will be going to Hawaii for 2 weeks in the summer of 2016. :) When I get down to size 12, I'm going to buy a gorgeous dress (or two) I have in mind.

I'm in. I started 10 days ago. So far everything has been going great. I've lost 8 lbs. since then. I also plan to go swimming 5 times a week for 60 minutes at a time, starting on Friday. I already got my membership at a local pool. I've sent you a friend request. ;) I couldn't find a group. So I've created us one in MFP…

Good job! ;) I lost 7.7 lbs. in the first week. You might already know this, but you won't lose weight as rapidly after a few weeks. The first few pounds always drop the quickest. ;)

I wasn't a big yogurt fan until recently... I found Traders Point Creamery Yogurt. It's ridiculously delicious! It tastes like cream. They sell it at Whole Foods. As a bonus, I like that it comes in mini glass containers that I can later on use to store dressings and sauces I make at home. ;) It's "European style" yogurt.…

Try drinking sparkling water instead... If you find it "tasteless", try the naturally flavored ones they sell at Whole Foods (if there is one near you.) It's perfectly refreshing and has no added sugar, coloring or calories.

Hummus (preferably homemade) - in moderation and NOT served with pita bread... try carrots and celery instead. Oatmeal Low fat yogurt/vanilla yogurt with mixed fruit Homemade smoothies/shakes/juice A boiled egg... or 2 (although there's cholesterol.) Nuts - again, in moderation A huge salad (whatever you like - cucumbers,…

I absolutely cannot stand eating "breakfast" (read: anything within 2 hours of waking up.) That being said, I've read that people who skip breakfast tend to eat more food than usual at their next meal... or nibble on higher-calorie snacks in order to not feel as hungry. Another thing about me: I am very rarely "feeling…

I drink freshly squeezed juices and smoothies I make at home daily. I have a Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender and a Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor. I love both of them. I use the following 3 books: The Juice Bar - 80 Recipes to Boost Health Cooking Light - Chill - Delicious Fresh…

1,560 calories. I'm attempting to lose 2 lbs. (0.91 kg.) per week. It's been a week and I've lost 7 lbs. But I know that losing weight in the beginning is fairly easy. I'm 28 years old, 5'6" (168 cm) tall. And I'm trying to lose a loooot of weight (around 70 kg or 154 lbs.) Luckily, I have a fairly big grocery shopping…

Homemade hummus, prepared from scratch and served with carrots & celery. :) I shared that portion with 2 other people.

I made chicken breast cooked in olive oil, topped with wild mushroom white wine sauce. Why? I've started a healthier lifestyle... since 5 days ago. ;)
