Techy guys are tough! My husband is a techie too and I always find it difficult to shop for him! I do like the massage idea mentioned above. If there is a Massage Envy around you somewhere, it might worth be looking into. Their "first visit" discount is pretty good, around $40-50 depending on the location, for a one hour…

Darnit! lol. so much for that idea! :D

Oooh. I have Truvia at the house! I should bring that to work with me so I can put that in my tea! So that doesn't count as an artificial sweetner? ^_^

Thanks for the suggestions! A few of these sound quite doable, even for my neophyte mind in the kitchen!! I also picked up a cookbook that might help me with a few of these in the future! A couple of questions though: With the artificial sweetener, which is better, going with raw sugar/granulated sugar or the artificial…

Btw, thank you all for your responses so far! I didn't expect so much support and assistance! You guys are the best ^_^

Hi! :) My goal weight as a 5'7" female is 150. on one that is the one pound above the upper number, on the other it's pretty much in the middle. It would put my BMI at 23, which is the upper end of normal for my height range on a BMI chart. I figured since I have so much to lose, setting my first goal any lower would be…

I am concerned about the protein powders... I am lactose intolerant and I think most of those powders are pretty high in lactose, aren't they?

WOW! Congrats! You look great!

I think I just made my profile public... not sure. Now you can all see what I have been eating, perhaps this will help. I have yet to have dinner tonight, so today won't be much help, though :D

I have been drinking crystal light as well as water... though I failed today on both accounts... I really should up my water intake though, you are definitely right there!

Good God... how do you do that?! :D

I have been very good with my drinks and tracking my food. I was so proud of myself when I remembered at the end of a work shift that we had all sampled a muffin and I had about 1/4 of one, and I tracked it, just like everything else! :) It's true, food is on my mind a LOT more now. While I was at work this morning I was…

In the past 7 days I have consumed between 200-400 grams of carbs, 17-58 grams of fat and 40-58 grams of protein. Most of my carbs come from oatmeal, rice or pasta. Most of my fat comes from olive oil in a home made salad dressing... and one day where I gave in to Baja Fresh. :D My protein also comes from my oatmeal, rice…

I would basically go a day without eating, or snack on something that is like 300 calories then the next day I would eat 1 meal that day that now that I look back had about 900-1000 calories, (Baja fresh is NOT your friend) On some days I might have gotten up to 2000 calories or past, but an overall average I would have to…
