Totally agree. We went to the beach last weekend and packed a cooler of hot dogs to grill, assorted fruit including mango, pineapple, watermelon, and cantaloupe, and a shrimp platter with homemade cocktail sauce. It was so good. c: I could see a macaroni salad being pretty good if kept cold, but that's probably the only…

Does it work as well with regular 1% milk? I recently tried almond milk, and was very not impressed with the taste. That sounds like a very tasty breakfast though.

Pretty much all caloric drinks. It's amazing how fast that stuff can add up. I still feel guilty having a 5 calorie flavored seltzer water because it just feels like I'm drinking a soda.

I'm 5'6'' and am aiming for 115 lb before I start a bulk to build muscle. Currently at 121 lb but not happy with my weight as I am what I consider to be 'skinny fat'. I want to be able to see my muscle. After my bulk I hope to come back up to around 121 lb but with muscle.

I live on the third floor, and honestly do some days feel bad for doing my HIIT videos in which jumping lunges and such are required. But then I figured that as long as it was during the day, and I didn't do it for huge periods of time, they'd learn to recognize that it would be a minor annoyance and then go away. I've…

Upstate New York. :)

I love reading everyone else's accomplishments in my feed--add me! :)

That was a good article. I'm glad to hear that I'm doing just about the right amount of cardio, and just this weekend started a heavy weight lifting program to start to get rid of this skinny fatness. :) Thank you for posting this!

I love Hasfit and GymRa. They both have good hiit weight videos, muscle group specific ones, dance ones, and a variety of general workouts. Granted, some of them are definitely better than others, since they have quite a few beginner workouts as well.

Huh. I like chunk light tuna... Maybe I should try some of this albacore and bumblebee stuff!! :o

Same here. It's constant! I also find that drinking coffee or tea helps to give me something to do without consuming calories, but it doesn't stop the thoughts. I have found that I really just have to get busy to make it go away. I'll invent a problem on the other side of the plant that I have to go work on to get moving…

See, I really don't think that genetics plays a huge role. I grew up in a family where my mother, father, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. are all over weight. All of them. Not a single one is a healthy weight. Yet, I'm average weight for my height/age, and my brother is underweight. I think it has a lot to do with how…

Wow! That's really awesome. What a great supportive atmosphere that must be to work in! :D

Do you write down the grams that you weigh separately from MFP then, to remember them when you go to log? Or do you just have an awesome number memory? I usually log once in the morning while I'm eating my breakfast at work, and once at night after dinner. This might change now that I'm actually using a scale though. I'll…

Ooh, that's a good idea, the pre-planning before going out. I've always used a spur-of-the-moment approach to restaurants, but knowing what I want will help with calories, and save time. c:

My go-to's are: a banana with peanut butter or hazelnut butter and sometimes a whole wheat english muffin. I find that it's very filling, and approximately 350 calories. Or, a serving of granola with slivered almonds and a low fat greek yogurt, or 1/4 cup milk. Also filling and delicious. :)

I know. I had pizza the other day, and I bought just a single slice so I couldn't over-eat it. It was amazing, and I feel that I really needed it to stay on-track. Like I can have pizza as long as I log it and plan my calories around it. Very good feeling. :) So many thanks for pizza.

Yesterday was a terrible hungry day for me. All morning and afternoon I felt hungry, even though I'd eaten my breakfast and lunch. I tried to drink more water, figuring it must be due to thirst in reality, but when I got home I didn't eat anything and just hit my workout, hard. And after that I stopped being hungry the…

To stay healthy and active. So my bones and muscles and joints continue to function properly into old age.

Ice cream. Always. So good.

Just ate granola in milk with slivered almonds and strawberries. :) yum!

I tend to stick to Wendy's if I'm going to get fast food, since their salads are actually really good. But when I do go to mcdonalds, since my boyfriend actually likes their food, I tend to get the fruit and yogurt parfait. They don't have a salad I like, sadly. If I have to get something I can eat and drive, I've gotten…

I played a full match of tennis last night without being out of breath once. And that was after I had done a 30 minute full body weight/cardio video before it. :D Feeling the good soreness today.

I love chocolate milk. :) I feel like its worth the sugar to drink. Most people don't worry about sugar intake. Although as it's an added sugar I tend to be at least somewhat conscious of it. But still, definitely fine to go over on your sugar intake.

Ooh. This. When I hit 115, this is what I want. :)

It's definitely a great exercise. I love the ab wheel. It is easy to over-do it though, because when you're doing them it doesn't really feel like it's that strenuous, but the next day (at least personally) after I've done 3 sets of 15 or so, by abs kill. Which, means I worked them hard. But it can be painful, like…

I definitely feel fit compared to a few years ago when I couldn't run a mile without being winded. Now I lift three times a week, and can run a few miles, and I'm definitely more inclined to do these things. However, I feel like I'll always be striving for a higher level of fitness. To be able to lift more and do more…

I personally don't own a scale. Although there is one at the gym that I use every Monday to keep tabs on my weight. Prior to about 5 weeks ago though I hadn't weighed myself in over a year. When I did I realized I'd gained about 7 pounds. That was when I decided it was time to keep tighter track.

I've heard varying opinions on the claim that eating at night is bad. I personally have at least one night a week where I'm just getting around to eating dinner at 9:30 or later, and have been losing weight consistently for about 5 weeks. The food has the same quantity of calories whenever you eat it--difference being that…

I'm in Upstate NY, and am an automation engineer. c: Although my degree is actually in chemical engineering.
