St Louis here!! LIving in St Charles to be exact!

I dont eat much chinese out but when I do, I indulge. However - I've found that most frozen oriental dishes from Trader Joes are excellent. I just had the "Chicken Chow Mein". Its in the freezer section.... 310 calories for 1/2 the bag INCLUDING sauce. Its quite tasty.

SO VERY TRUE!! :)

My husband liked me heavier too... I filed for divorce in March. End of story.

Have you tried the strap??? I dont even feel it when its on. It goes directly under your bra strap, its made of cloth, and you wont even know its there. I wouldnt recommend purchasing one without the chest strap.

Right. THe last thing I care about while working out is impressing anyone

Golds Gym in St Peters

Yep!!! This would be me too! As long as you can fit it into your daily calories I say go for it!. I used to drink wine at home everynight, but one glass turned to 2, and so on. Before I knew it the bottle was gone. It was starting to hinder my progress, so now I try to stick to ONE night a week drinking, and its usually a…

I have a Polar F6. I've had it for 5 years, and I've replaced the battery twice (paid for it once). I took it to "Batteries Plus" and they took care of it for me. A regular battery was $9.00, but I got the lifetime battery for $16.00.

Im a 40D, and I wear 2. I used to wear the Champion, seamless ones from Target but they stretch too easily. I just bought these, and they seem to work REALLY well. http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_027B014506030001P They say "medium impact" but I run a few miles a day, and the girls stay put.

Right here on MFP.. .598 miles between us... He is BY FAR the best man I've ever met... I came here to log my calories, and never expected anything like this, but it's the happiest I've been in a very long time.

AWESOME!!! I remember when I ran my first mile. I felt the same way!! It happened about a year ago, and girl... just KEEP RUNNING!!! :) I can now run about 4 miles and cant seem to get past that, but hey, that's fine with me!! Keep it up!!

I had the Lap Band almost 3 years ago. I started at 330, today I'm at 225. For anyone that says surgery is the easy way.... they've never closely known anyone that's had it done. Surgery, all of them... while some call it drastic, I call it a last resort to save my life. Initially, I lost the first 50-60 lbs relatively…

center cut bacon is the way to go!!! LOVE BACON!! Im frying 2 slices tonight to put on top of my Jennie O Turkey burger.. YUM

This DVD is sitting on my dining room table as we speak. I havent tried it, as I'm more of a gym goer than a work out at home person... But lemme tell ya, EVERYONE I talk to says this dvd is amazing... I cannot wait to start it. The people I know personally who have done this (borrowed the DVD from my SIL) did it everyday…

I have 2 girlfriends who compete yearly. One does figure, another does fitness. The diets are similar and let me tell you, they're STRICT.. however, they were eating more calories than I was due to the amount of strength training that they were doing on a daily basis. 2 hours in the gym, with a trainer EVERYDAY. Now - If…

Its okay to do anything in moderation

I currently work in Chesterfield, and live in Florissant, born and raised... went to Hazelwood Central, graduated in 2000.

Hi!!! I was banded almost 3 years ago. Feel free to add me. Good luck!!!

Thank you so much!!! All of you... I appreciate it!! :)

VERY TRUE!! Thank you so much!!! :smile:

I log EVERYDAY... even when I eat bad... I log it. Its real, and I keep myself accountable. I also have a blog that I keep up with a few times a week. I log the good, the bad and the ugly. Ironically enough, it's called "Eating For Real" because "dieting" doesnt work... people slip up, we just have to own it when we do,…

Those are all great ideas!! Thank you!!! I've never tried the 30 day Shred, but Ive seen that so many people have GREAT results with it... I might just have to look into it. Im a gym rat really... Ive tried working out at home and it just doesnt work for me, but I"m gonna give it another go. :) Oh!! and I too love PUMPKIN…

meeperoon.... THANKS!! sheesh... LOL

Im new... and apparently dont know how to make my pictures show... LOL help...???

how do I insert a pic here??

Yep!! You're right on with this!! The first 50 lbs I lost came off at a rate of 3lbs a week, the next 50 were about 2-2.5 lbs a week, now Im struggling big time with these last 50. I've had to up my work outs, and cut the calories. I guess it's working, but damn it's so SLOOOOOOOOOOW now...

Just like you would Ground Beef. My FAVORITE, is my "mock" Chipotle bowl. ground turkey made with taco seasoning (I add extra cayenne pepper) When the turkey is done, add 1/2 cup black beans, and 1/2 cup corn (I prefer frozen) and just heat until the beans and corn are hot. I then add 1 tbsp of Philadelphia Santa Fe…

I've lost 100+lbs eating fast food in moderation. Taco Bell, Chick Fil A and McD being my favs. Every now and then its OK. Promise. Key word, moderation. :-)

In the beginning, it was a weight goal. Now, it's more of a size goal. I started at a TIGHT 26 bottoms and 18/20 tops. After losing 100+ lbs, I'm in a 14 top, and 18 bottom. My goal is 175lbs, but I'd love to be a size 12/14, and I could care less what number is on the scale. I too am a scale-a-holic, and would love to…
