Haha, small world! I'll only be there for a long week, leave on March 4th. I was there in October for a long weekend and got to see a preview of the new Fantasyland - looking forward to going back and actually being able to enjoy a meal at Be Our Guest.

I'm heading to WDW in two weeks on February 27. I'm hoping to enjoy the food but to not overindulge.

Request sent. :) Welcome to MFP!

Mmm, these sound yummy. Adding some coconut sounds good too. I will have to try them! I just made some one step pumpkin cupcakes like this the other day - just took the spice cake mix by Betty Crocker and added a can of pumpkin - delicious. :)

I like skinny cow (though it is pricey). I'm also a fan of Edy's/Dreyer's Slow Churned flavors (I usually buy this when it's buy one/get one free). Most have 100-120 cal per 1/2 cup serving. It's perfect for my almost daily ice cream fix.

Welcome from one gamer to another! I used to be an avid WoW player but gave it up when I started law school 4 years ago. Now, that I'm done with school, I am still a gamer but never got back into WoW. Anyway, one thing I try to make a habit of: I try not to let myself play any video game until I have done some sort of…

I don't hate her. I don't love her either. She does use a lot of processed food and a lot of products that are not sold in very many places which means making a lot of her stuff is really difficult. But I have used some of her swaps and tried some of the stuff she uses that I didn't know about.

When it's nice out, I'd say go for a walk/run or ride a bike. If you have cold winters and going outside is not an option as much, I'd recommend DVDs or something along those lines. Or you can go walk around an indoor mall. Another thing I try to do is make an effort to walk more in basic day to day (not a full on workout…

I'm a big fan of fiber bars. I tend to have a smaller 90 calorie one as a morning snack, but when I was taking night classes, I would often have one has a late afternoon snack to get me through class. I also really like the High Energy Trail Mix from Wal-Mart.

I'm at work too. Logging in here helps fight the boredom, and since I'm VERY bored these days, I'm here a lot.

Welcome! Good luck to you! Feel free to add me. The more friends, the merrier. :)

Reading is one of my favorite things to do! Love all kinds of books, and I'm in love with my Kindle - I take it every where. I initially thought I wouldn't like reading on a screen and would miss a book... I was quickly proven wrong. Some favorites are Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, James Patterson…

1-2 pounds a week is what you want. As others said, losing at that rate instead of rapidly is what you want because you're more likely to keep it off. Last time I was working hard at losing weight, I averaged at about 1 pound a week. Some weeks I lost more, some weeks I lost none, but at the end of the year, I'd lost 50…

I haven't been using the Wii Fit a lot lately, but when I was using it consistently, I tended to do the body test once a week i.e. every Saturday morning.

Don't be discouraged. Everyone is different. When I first decided to lose weight a few years ago, I lost a lot the first couple weeks, but it was right after a vaction. A few weeks later, it slowed down. It could also just be others are weighing themselves at different times of the day. Make sure to always weigh yourself…

Awesome! I've been looking for some free videos and blogs. I will need to check these out. Thanks!

I really think it's a personally preference thing. For me, I found that eating 3 meals (not huge) a day with smaller snacks worked best. I wasn't hungry all the time. I'm so used to 3 meals, that I could never get the 5-6 small meals plan to work.

I really try to stay quiet about weight, etc. There are some people I'm comfortable talking about with it, but for the most part, I think it just ends up annoying people. Either the skinny person is annoying the heavier person by complaining they're "fat" or someone is annoying a skinny person by telling them they…

I'm fairly new around here. Feel free to add me. Would love to give and receive support. :) Going through to add some of you who already posted here.

Love to get down to an 8. Got down to a 12. Right now, I'm about a 14.

Definitely a lot of ideas so far. Thanks everyone! When I get home I'll have to look through what everyone has posted again, and start working on a new grocery list. :)
