  • I have just finished my 1st month of dedication on MFP - no exercise other than randomness (my friend and i on a whim chose to go bowling one afternoon, etc) - I just focused strictly on logging my cals - and even that wasn't hardcore. I'd miss a day or so - but always tried to be mindful of quantity i was consuming (ie:…
  • great value brand has cherry lime flavor packets that are like crystal lite i guess, at only 5 cals a serving - but if you're into the cherry limeaide slushy from Sonic - that's a good match :)
  • could always go for pineapple cobbler :) put oven on 325 - and but butter in a casserole dish and let it melt in the oven while it preheats (now the "natural" receipt calls for 1 stick of butter lol - i never use this much - basically it's for flavoring to help the breaddy part get golden looking) While oven pre-heats: 1…
  • wooooohooo! welcome friend! :)
  • End of January here (1 month in) and I'm down 9lbs....I'm hoping the trend continues next month - however, just gotta keep in mind it's to be a lifestyle change - to be a "FOREVER" - so when it misses 1 week, keep going at it :)
  • Used to hate days like that! You're cruising along, having a pretty good day. Then you hear something like that from a co-worker. *BOOM* there goes that day! lol - but no more of that! Mad props for rolling with it and not reacting. That's what I've learned - just roll with it and NEVER let them know it effects you in…
  • straight up new person question here - well I been here 1 month - but I've seen these type of posts/questions before so I'm just curious... MFP told me how many calories to eat after I punched in my honest height, and honest weight. So, when I follow what MFP said and eat up to that calorie #, I lost 9lbs in 1 month.... I…
  • do you feel any bulges in your throat when you swallow? - my mother's side of the family has goiters - and i personally suffered from an enlarged thyroid that i had to have removed - that would also cause this hard to choke down your food problem. could also be acid reflux episode too but best bet is the dr like you…
  • YES VERY GLAD CM PUNK NO LONGER HAS THE BELT THAT'S FOR SURE! AND JEFF HARDY HAS BEEN IN TNA FOR QUITE SOMETIME - SO YOU HAVE BEEN OUTTA THE LOOP - BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME *HUGS* LOL GLAD TO SEE SOME PEEPS STILL ENJOYING THAT TIME WITH THEIR SONS IT WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE PASTTIME W/ MY BROTHER
  • i assume when people put BUMP....they're trying to push their thread back into the top of the topics...lol...so if that's the proper use for the term BUMP....then..... BUMP!
  • woohoo there are more out there! lol. gonna add you - want to know your thoughts on the rumble. cool?
  • baby spinach salad mix - i put that on everything!
  • looks like that'd be a no haha. ah well.
  • baby spinach salad mix - ON EVERYTHING lol
  • ^^this 100% is my way of doing it so far! - I found quickly I am a fan of quantity - and i can eat what seems like just as much and not feel deprived, if I"m filling it with better food - rather than - wendys, mcdonalds, and the like lol. My go to sandwich recently is: nature's own double fiber wheat bread (2 pices = 100…
  • I stuck to the cal goal that MFP gave me (and i'm marked as no weekly exercise, and sedentary lifestyle) - and even like that with no exercise i lost 3lbs the 1st week. Of course - I am wayyyyyyyy up there in size, so it's likely easier for me in the beginning - but something i found while logging daily - that I can eat a…
  • 2 weeks in - I find the biggest change, is my overall attitude. I tend to have a more cheery outlook on things. (must be not having fast food at least 1 meal a day every single day! lol)
  • 100% honesty - I had had this myfitnesspal account for 5 years easy - never ever looked at it past the 1st day i signed up. And then I'm sure the thought process then was that it was too much and I just "wasn't feeling it" - that's a magic keyword I used to use a lot for, "I'm feeling too lazy, why bother trying?" lol Fast…
  • I don't like regular yogurt at all! Too thin for me! Greek yogurt is....the bombdotcom (yes i just said that ha!) Greek yogurt is more thick and creamy, more like a pudding - and not thin and runny like regular yogurt. :)
  • How awesome for you! (by the way - don't kill me I'm a newbie lol - but what does NSV mean?)
  • I've been crazy digging on the following sandwich: 2 slices nature's own double fiber wheat bread (total=100cals) 3 slices of oscar meyer misquite turkey breast (total=60cals) 1 tbsp dukes mayo (total=100cals) 1 tbsp frenches classic mustard (total=ZERO woohoo) 1 cup baby spinach (total=20cals)grand total = 280 (*and…
  • Hey pal sounds like you got a good plan in mind. you can feel free to add me - reading your post i'm looking around to see if i posted it myself and forgot haha - we are in almost the same exact boat. :)
  • Well my goodness what a charming message! Always like to hear how great I am lol Thanks pal! :)
  • PCOS diagnosed for about a year now - i'm on metformin (1000mg daily) - tis a struggle, but so far being honest with mfp and slight movement (as i'm naturally very sedentary so i'm going the 'slight' route for now so i don't scare myself off haha) - seems to be working. 5lbs, 2 weeks...woohoo :)
  • 7/5/2005 - I had total thyroidectomy - 8 years later and I'm about 100lbs heavier than I ever was when I had a thyroid that was jacked up and not working right haha. Unfortunately I've found - in the 2 weeks I've been on MFP showing serious dedication to counting cals and some LIGHT very light movement on occasion - that I…
  • go to youtube and lookup John Pinnet and juicing - funny round happy guy will tell you all about juicing haha.
  • I think another great part of the site I've experienced so far (other than the weight loss ha ha) - is the message board interaction. I don't know how much time you get to spend online daily - but I've found cruising the message topics and getting involved to be a lot of fun and a way to kill time --- so that the free time…
  • Hi ya! I feel for ya man what a tough spot. But hey, got some money coming in so that's always nice right? lol I sort of have a jacked up schedule too, in that 2 days in a row each week - I work 14 hour schedules back to back. For example, today is one of my back to back days. I work 8a-10p today, then turn around and come…
  • What's that song from Toy Story?...."you got a friend in me....you got a friend in me...." now that that tune is stuck in your head - add me lol
  • Hey pal :) I'm heading to my week 2 weigh in this coming Wednesday - but not dreading it. I'm trying to have a whole different mindset on this whole thing. Have more good days than "casual days" and I feel like I'm Winning - (as my friend Charlie Sheen would say lol) -- I even have a tattoo that says "Winning" to remind me…
