Thanks, that's what I have been hearing/reading. Was just curious to see if anyone else ate fish as often as I do and what they think.

Well I have always heard that when you're at least pregnant you have to limit your fish intake because of the mercury, and I even read the same for when you're trying to get pregnant. I just like these becuase they're fast, don't have that many horrible ingredients and they're low calorie. I should start making my own. I…

I am a pescatarian, meaning I only eat fish. I choose not to eat meat not really for moral reasons, but even when I ate meat, I typically only ate chicken. I did read Skinny ***** which kind of turned me off all kinds of meat and I have also seen Food, Inc. as well as just various videos on the PETA website and from that…

Not all fast foot places are bad, but rather the choices people make. I love Subway and I like it because *I* control what kind of bread I have, what toppings, what dressing, etc. nowhere else do I get to choose that. I'm a vegetarian, so I always get a footlong sub and it's only $5!!! I load it with all the veggies, no…

I don't log everytime I vacuum or clean the floors, HOWEVER, when I have to vacuum my stairs and am actually sweating my face off, then I do log it, or when I clean the whole house from top to bottom, then I do, but not for just a 10-minute vacuum job or a quick mopping of the floors.

Speaking from personal experience I only ate back my exercise calories if I was hungry and even then, I usually ate back only about half, rarely ever the entire amount. So that’s my advice, if you’re hungry after exercising, then listen to your body – don’t deprive it of food as it’s telling you something. Food is fuel.…

I have been a pescatarian for about a year now. Before then, I ate primarily chicken only. Then I read the book Skinny ***** and although I did read it with an open mind and knowing that it promoted a vegan lifestyle, it opened my mind to many different things. I realized that I don’t “need” meat in my diet to survive as…

that's why I love this dish - you can add whatever veggies you want! I always leave out the cheese as I really don't care for cheese and it adds more calories.

I use the egg whites in the carton (the liquid egg beaters I think they're called), so when you do the conversion, it would be 6 medium egg whites equal 3 whole eggs or if you use the liquid egg whites it's 3 (1/4 cup) servings of Egg Beaters. Hope this helps :) I've never made it with whole eggs, only liquid egg whites.

I do not. Not for weight loss reasons, but I just hate the taste, smell, feeling, etc. - everything about it! It's surprisingly hard to find people that are like me and don't drink. And when I say I don't drink, that doesn't mean that I drink occasionally, I really do mean that I do not drink. At all.

bump! I love peanut butter and coconut!!!!! yummmmm

There's lot of recipes on the website as well (http://www.bellplantation.com/recipes) - everything from cookies to noodles!

I'm not pregnant yet, but we are planning on starting in the next 3-6 months so I'm definitely bookmarking this thread. This would be our first and I have no idea at all about anything, including diet, extra calories, exercising while pregnant, etc. So I'm very much enjoying reading this thread!

I have days where I eat what I feel like and not what I "should", but I don't call them cheat days becuase that would make me feel like I'm doing something wrong and I'm not. On these days (usually Saturday/Sunday) I just eat what I want and don't really care if I go over my calories. Without these days I would have the…

I also hate reading these types of comments/posts. I give myself 1,700 calories a day and I eat this very easily! I used to eat 1,200 calories and it was extremely difficult unless you live on veggies, salads, fruit, etc. I don't mean to judge but it sounds like something people with eating disorders would say.

As a female and someone that has been in this situation before (on both ends), you and I both know very well that she is not meeting a "girlfriend" for dinner. Trust your instincts and your gut, they're always right, that's all I have to say. I was watching Oprah's Lifeclass show last week and it was about this very thing…

I always use a whole cup as the serving size.

Yup. I log every day, even if it's a cheat day or not, under my calories, over my calories, whatever. it's just another day and plus I want to see and know exactly what I'm eating on any given day. I just won't worry about what I'm eating so much and whether I'm under my calories. I'm just going to eat what I feel like and…

I no longer creep Facebook like I used to and have now switched over to creeping people on MFP :tongue:

wow everyone looks simply amazing!! great work and what an inspiration!

I was undereating for a while and over-exercising. At my worst point, I was eating anywhere from 800-1,200 calories and working out every day and burning about 300-400 calories! I slowly upped my calories at first and still managed to maintain. HOWEVER, now that I'm not nearly as active and I'm eating about 1,700 calories,…

your body needs carbs to function and for energy, and they are good for you - but only the good carbs (whole vegetables and fruits, beans, legumes and whole grains, etc.). Obviously everyone should stay away from bad carbs - refined, processed carbohydrate foods that have had all or most of their natural nutrients and…

I make mine with Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla and 2 packets of Stevia and some cinnamon. I boil it for about 10 minutes on the stove along with 1 cup of water and the longer it boils the thicker it becomes. I'm sure you could use sweetened vanilla as well and adjust your sweetness with more sugar/cinnamon/dried fruit,…

I could not agree with you more :)

I know this is weird but I don't add (or I delete after the fact) people that don't eat enough and workout like crazy!!! For example, people that are only eating like 1,100 calories (when I believe the minimum should be at least 1,200 ESPECIALLY if you work out and burn lkike 500 calories) and who have thei daily calorie…

HAHAHAH, that's awesome. That is all.

you're not at your goal weight yet?!!?!?! holy crap - you look amaaaazing!

you look awesome!! like a whole new person :) great job.

I personally like your picture. Clearly that person has no life and therefore you shouldn't even waste a second of your time on them. Delete, block and move on :)

my go-to is a walk with my doggy/hubby! actually it's usually me and my doggy and occasionally my hubby comes with us.
