  • All the Gold in California / The Gatlin Brothers TNT / wedge+native American tribe = song/artist
  • Better yet, open-faced sandwiches! Load up a slice with lean deli meat and spinach and tomatoes and put a single slice of that good cheese on top and broil it in the oven to melt the cheese. So good! Especially with soup!
  • Even lower cal than sour cream and (I think) just as good, plain non-fat Greek yogurt! And it's got digestive enzymes, too!
  • I used to work in a Thai place, and people really loved the Green Papaya Salad, too. It's shredded, with carrots and a light dressing.
  • Pad Ki Mao (drunken noodle) is one of my favorites because I love bell peppers, and Pork Pad Thai is a classic (noodles in a savory peanut sauce with bean sprouts and egg, I ask for mine a little bit spicy) but Thai curries are really yummy, too! And they don't necessarily have to be hot - Musaman is my favorite (potatoes,…
  • You can also use a partner app like MapMyWalk that tracks distance, elevation changes, and time, and I believe it imports directly into MFP. You can also create a trail and record it with your time completed.
  • I sometimes fast when I feel like I'm fixating too much on food, depriving myself and feeling unsatisfied. I've gone as many as 4+ days on just water, but more for spiritual reasons than weight-loss. I wouldn't recommend it on a regular basis, because your body goes into conservation mode after a couple days and it won't…
  • This is a great initiative, I'm in! SW: 162 GW: 145 Also quitting smoking for the new year! And drinking more water! I wanna be super-hydrated like @cschmitz110515 ! 12/29: 162 - Last day of short holiday vacation, spent it watching movies with my folks and then driving... lots of sitting! 12/30: 12/31: 1/1: 1/2: 1/3: 1/4:…
  • If you can't curb your weekend snacking habits, tack on some extra exercise! Keeping busy/moving will also help occupy snacking time! I agree with Kimny72, as well... pre-logging helps me be more mindful of my consumption and make better choices about how I'm spending my calories.
  • Ooh, ooh, pick me! I'm Rachael and I'm 32. I'm using the tools here a lot more to help with meal planning for my roommate and I, but I know that exercise is one of the major factors in my ability to lose weight; dieting alone doesn't cut it like it does for roomie. I need help staying motivated to work out on my own!
  • You lost 80 pounds... holy crap that's amazing! Don't get down on yourself about gaining 10 back, because you've already achieved more than many could even aspire to. Two steps forward, one step back... but then two more forward! So you took two weeks off... sometimes you need a break from being tough! Don't beat yourself…
  • If you create the recipes, it'll calculate all that for you from the ingredients (roughly, of course, not taking into consideration cooking methods) and you can tell it how many portions the recipe makes.
