I just did a quick check - it IS in the food database! Heaps of options too!

I have seen this in a thread before - apparently 'breastfeeding' is in the food database. You add it and it gives you calories instead of taking them? Never tried it....

NOW. Log everything you eat from now on. Weight loss is 70% diet, and only 30% exercise. You start logging now, you are already 70% committed!

Welcome!

If you go to google and search 'convert cup measure to weight for pantry staples'... http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cooking-conversions/cooking-conversions-calculator.aspx bookmark it! :flowerforyou:

for a cheaper option why not pick up a copy of Just Dance or Just Dance 2 at the local hock shop (cash converters or whatever). I love getting my exercise in group scenarios, whether it's dancing, zumba or even bootcamp, and absolutely LOATHE doing it at home by myself. For $14, I actually LIKE doing Just Dance at home (In…

I got one a couple of weeks ago too. I just use it to check my guesstimates now and then. Seems I was being really scroogey with the cheese portions.

fill a celery stalk with it and snack on. going to check out the recipe site mentioned above...

:love: *HERE! :glasses: *ME! :bigsmile: *I AM INTERESTED!

^^What Momof3and3 said. That is very good advice. Kids won't starve themselves to death. When she's hungry, she'll eat. Believe me. Sometimes mine makes me worry, and then she eats.

boiled egg. Boil half a dozen and keep em in the fridge for a quick snack

This is hilarious! This is what I'm trying to do too! maybe we need to start a 'The Price is Right' group and see who gets the closest to their cals without going over every day...

^^Yes. same here. It feels like I am eating WAY MORE than I ever did to get fat in the first place, but when I just ate when I was hungry, sometimes I was only eating 1000 and netting 600 with exercise. Eating more makes me lose weight faster (go figure) but it takes some training. I eat 6 meals a day (notice I didn't say…

^^same as this. I'd like to add no reptiles or mangoes. Mangoes smell like vomit and I don't want to eat vomit. (I've never tried artichoke, and I'm not about to start!)

My girls are 6 and 7. I hope I can stay calm long enough to chat with her about it, and make her that appointment. I figure if I get to this point, I've already done a lot of things RIGHT, so why stop now? I work in a high school, with 14-15 year old kids this year, and after the health teacher leaves there are always…

I'm 30

Have you considered swimming laps? Almost zero impact, and the controlled breathing (and exercise) is actually supposed to HELP asthma sufferers...

I would like to see a reminder to do my daily exercise too :)

diet soda. swap the labels for regular labels and you'll be doing the whole family a favour and they won't even notice.

I use Kraft 99% Fat Free coleslaw dressing. (in Australia)

definitely use him in your weight training - because his weight will naturally increase making it perfect for you and you will be playing with him, soothing him, and teaching him to count at the same time (counting your reps out loud) :wink: :tongue: I would start with two handed bicep curls, and look for other exercises…

I've found for me it's actually only the first bite of chocolate that is orgasmic. All the follow up bites are just trying to re-create that rush of the first bite, but fail miserably. So I just eat one square, and then I'm done :happy: A lady I work with just has a long, deep smell of chocolate ans says she is…

Lest we forget.

bump (I was hoping you had an idea!)

I would get a cross trainer for home - so much more convenient than dragging yourself to a gym! Have you considered the hire to buy options? You can pay it off over a few years, and I believe you can get a contract which included warranties and servicing over this time. Although, If going to a gym fits in with your…

you could stand up? two of my MFPals log guitar playing/standing regularly - they seem to get reasonable numbers doing it too!

In all seriousness, we have an Indian curry buffet-style restaurant in our city, which also allows you to 'pay what your heart feels'. That's right! You pick the price! My kids don't like curry, so they just eat white rice, so before we leave, we have a big plate of steamed veges each, to both up the nutrition content, and…

Brilliant Idea!

*goes immediately to run a bath, weigh, soak in said bath for an hour at least and then reweigh. All in the name of science of course! :laugh:
