It is much easier to put too many calories in your mouth than it is to exercise them off. When I cycle as hard as I can for an hour - I can only burn off about 1,000 calories - max So when I am done with that hard ride I can eat a mess of smoked chicken wings with ranch dip washed down with a nice IPA and undo all of that…

If you like Tex-Mex, I have posted my enchilada casserole recipe in this forum

I am making a double batch tonight...will use the black beans but only a single can (rinsed) for the whole batch. It will still be under 400 calories per serving.

I do pork loin or chicken breasts - seasoned for tacos - and shred them

Love this quote.

I was at goal for a long time and looked good, fit, lean, healthy, etc. Then I had an injury, 2 surgeries, and a long recovery. I had to lose 9 pounds to get back to goal because I let myself go a bit. I made it back to goal but to my surprise, because of the restrictions from my injury and literally being in crappy shape…

Enchilada casserole...350 cal. per serving

skinnytaste.com is another good site. Their Crock Pot Sante Fe Chicken is amazingly delicious at only 190 calories/serving (no rice) http://www.skinnytaste.com/crock-pot-santa-fe-chicken-425-pts/

I just posted my enchilada casserole recipe. You can substitute the ground turkey for the lean ground beef. I have found using a bit of water in the skillet to help immensely with browning super lean ground turkey.

Clear liquors with a diet soda mixer is the lowest calories that I can think of. Rum and coke, martini, etc.

Absolutely yes!!! I am 55 and I lost 75 pounds a few years ago - tuning up a bit now. My wife is down 39 pounds since January 10 and she is 56. BTW - she is now off of her blood pressure medicine. Big score there!!! We both have knee issues. So - I cycle - no knee pain there. In fact, it actually improved the pain…

This was a fun thread in my lunch hour. Kayrrie really does have a cute puppy I won't badmouth thin mints or beers if they are consumed seperately - otherwise be warned I won't badger like Mickey did as Rocky's trainer in Rocky I forgot the milkshake and burger - damn - that sounds better than thin mints and beer. I like…

Long time MFP user - lost 75 pounds a few years back and kept it off - I stayed in maintenance for a few years and finally cancelled my account - Big Mistake. I needed a little tune up so I created a new account and am working on building my friends list up a bit. I am active, daily user. Add me if you are the same.

^^^I am not sure what any of this has to do with monitoring calories.^^^ And you can pay cash or use check to see a doctor or a nutritionist (if that is what you are after). Get a good food scale ($15), eat normally, and watch portion sizes. Most fish, chicken breast, lean pork loin, etc. are great sources of low cal.…

^^^this works^^^

When I lost my original 75 pounds - and then went to maintenance for several years and maintained my weight within a pound or two of goal - my body shape continued to change. If I did not keep active, my belly would grow (first) even though my weight did not change.

I lost 75 pounds in 18 months while still consuming liquor - bourbon & diet 7-UP. Just count the calories.

Muenster, provolone, mozzarella, colby - all mild and great on many things Pepper jack is also a milder cheese, but with a kick.

...just "Wow."

Accept

Blue stew...hmmm I will go with Blu Stu B)

Non-dairy creamer is flammable.

In Utah, it is illegal to swear in front of a dead person.

I buy in bulk whatever is on sale...vacuum pack it for later...fire up the smoker...hickory apple smoke...mmmmm Wait - oh yeah - Grass fed is too damned expensive for virtually no difference except hype.

3 pounds to goal but 8 pounds to my stretch goal...do I qualify?

I lost 35 pounds (16 kg) in about 10 weeks when I first started getting serious about weight loss. I thought it made me look unhealthy (so did others) so I slowed down and lost at total of 75 pounds (34 kgs) in 18 months...which was way more fun.

Bacon and peanut butter...either answer is correct. B) Seriously though - I think a combo of lean protein with some fat is my favorite. But then again, I love a grilled rib-eye steak (but I will trim the big globs of fat).

I am fond of the lower case - cursive B)
