which bikini should i wear to the beach? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Okay. This is just my opinion. Ya know in the beginning when you kind of have a crush on someone, but nothing has really developed??? Unless you just say, hey, I'm really wanting to pursue this, then it could just be a crush. So when your friend asked if you would mind, and you said no, she probably thought that's all it…

here's what i do. i buy egg whites, turkey sausage, fat-free or low - fat cheese, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers (use whatever vegetables you like). I cut everything up on Sunday night. Cook my sausage and stick it in the fridge. Every morning I pour a 1/2 a cup to a cup of egg whites in a bowl. Then I add some of the…

I DON'T BLAME YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

This sounds so good! I'm gonna have to try this soon!

I have to totally agree with this. You can't make your whole day crappy because you might have a "bad" meal. This is about a life change. Meaning, it's going to always come up that you have dinner plans with a friend, a date, or even family. But you have to learn how to make smart choices. I'm not saying you can't have a…

i'm not sure if your dvd players are compatible. i think that's what you're referring to. i didn't realize there was a difference until i purchased a PS3 and realized some games were different for different regions. strange and frustrating at the same time. for example, SingStar. The UK gets all the good songs lol.…

I walk 3 miles every other morning. My job doesn't allow me to workout in the middle of the day because I sweat easily and don't have time to shower. I don't have time in the evenings because we go to bed early. We get up around 330 and 4am. I can have a little over 1300 calories on the days I don't workout, and then about…

there's really no easy way to do it. it can be just as hard as it was to start the first time. you just have to make up the mind that this is what you want to do. and do it. no easy fix.

great challenges... missed half this week because we've been busy with insurance companies, banks, landlords. our car was broken into while we were helping a family member car trouble. ladies, make sure you keep your purses hidden. be careful in mall parking lots!!!!

i don't way when TOM decides to visit. when he's gone, i wait until my regular scheduled weigh-in day (Tuesdays) to hop on the scale. I tried this last month and I had a 3 lb loss. a trainer once told me that a common mistake women make is weighing too frequently. it adds stress and worry about losing the weight. stress…

your screen name is incredible!!!!!!!!!!! clever! lol:laugh:

HA! Nice play on words there! :glasses:

Actually a lady I work with was just discussing this the other day. She had been told by her physician to NOT drink with your meal. It washes away nutrients that your body needs, and it can enable you to eat more. Ever notice when they have those eating competitions, they drink to help put more food in? It makes sense. Her…

turkey burgers are wonderful... and i love black bean burgers from chili's... add a little salsa, and oh my goodness... delish!

i've had this same problem. i since have learned to just eat more at breakfast which helps. but one suggestion somoene gave me was protein shakes. i haven't tried them yet, but it might help.

i think you need more protein in your breakfast. try some egg whites, turkey sausage, and add the veggies for a yummy scramble. it holds me over forever. jimmy dean d-lites also has some great breakfast bagel and muffin sandwiches. high in protein and keep me full. also, you could try adding a handfull of almonds. to your…

Ya know, I've often thought the same thing. My goal is about 135 as well, and I chose it because it was in the middle of the healthy BMI range. I think there's a wide range because our bodies are built differently. For instance, in high school when I was in my BMI range, I thought I was fat because I weighed a lot. But I'm…

The ones I get say no preservatives.

i'm gonna have to check this out too! i SO need one!!

eat some healthy snacks. drink more water. sometimes you think your body is saying it's hungry and it's dehydrated and thirsty. it does take an adjustment. i was the same way. but it's true, your body probably isn't burning anythng so it doesn't need fuel. tip, if you like celery, it takes more calories to digest celery…

i add each ingredient. then i save the meal so i won't have to do it again. it can take some time developing your own, but if you're like me, i tend to eat a lot of the same things from week to week. it's worth the little bit of extra time. it works!!!

Be a friend. Be excited about your accomplishments. Modestly express them, they're gonna see the hard work anyways. It is frustrating. It's like hearing someone who's smaller than you complain about how fat they are lol. Just makes you feel bad. And you shouldn't. You're taking care of yourself and your health. Maybe…

For me, I retain water easily. It helps me to be able to reduce that which does make scale show a lower weight. I don't believe it will actually cause fat loss, but yes, it can weightloss. There's so many positives to drinking water though. My skin feels so much softer and looks fresher and tighter since I've started…

First of all, congrats on the 50 lb weight loss! Very inspiring. Do you happen to have personal trainers or nutritionists at the gym where you teach? I know I've heard about eating more when you're more active. Maybe they can look over your food diary and give you some pointers. Also, have you set your daily activity level…

today's challenge will be easy... i've got no money to eat out! ha! actually, i'm going on two months without Mcdonald's. that in itself is a miracle!!!! good luck today ladies!

i say work out at home since you have the resources to do so. and go outside when the weather permits. take the money you were going to spend on the gym membership, put it in savings, and buy you a new wardrobe when you lose your weight!

leslie sanson's walk away the pounds. i do the 3 mile walk every other day. i also LOVE her walk and jog video.

although it IS possible to have a loss, i would say don't stress over it. take the week off if you want. or step on the scale just to see how your body changes. don't log it if it's up a pound or two. wait for the week to be over. i am skipping my weigh-in this week and will just weight next tuesday at my regular time.
