The Treatment

'89 (okay...that's cheating, I know)

add Steel Panther to my list - those guys are a riot!

chocolate pop-tart ( at least it was organic)

I did the 30 day squat challenge (without weights) in January. Keep your chin up- the easiest way to do this is to focus on an object a little higher than your standing eye-level. Also, stick your butt out a little and imagine yourself sitting. This worked for me and I varied my stance (closer together or wider apart) so I…

were you drinking that much water because you felt thirsty? If so, there are several medical conditions that can cause insatiable thirst, so if you are feeling the need to drink that much, you should talk with your doctor.

are those the directions for optimal taste or optimal benefits?

we follow a VERY LOW sodium, diet in our house for medical reasons. Cheese and dairy can be sodium traps as are baked goods and cereals ( most have salt, baking soda, and baking powder which are all high in sodium). No salt added cottage cheese can be flavored with Ms Dash and used as a dip for carrots, celery, cucumbers,…

I have read in a health/nutrition magazine that 3 cups of green tea per day burns 80 calories...not sure where the scientific backing came from. You are supposed to steep the tea for at least 3 minutes to get maximum benefits

Ruby red grapefruit with a small sprinkle of stevia is relish! I use less than a half a packet on an entire grapefruit

Fitbit..it counts your steps and makes adjustments daily in MFP for your steps. So, on the days you are working in the restaurant and are more active, it will give you a calorie adjustment. On the days you just do your desk job, you may not get an adjustment. You may even find that the Fitbit motivates you to get more…

"The Reason I Jump" I am reading it for the second time. It is a quick easy read that I recommend EVERYONE should read

I don't think I could ever give up chocolate completely. I try to only allow myself one "sweet" per day to keep my sugar intake in check ( so, the days I have a latte I don't get any chocolate) but I am still able lose weight. I don't think you should ever give up something entirely if you really crave it...

I use the recipe builder quite a bit. It's not perfect because I don't always get the # of servings right, but I figure its pretty close...which has to count for something :-)

If you have a FitBit, it tracks all of your steps and links to MFP. It does count your steps toward activity...MFP will adjust your calorie goal based on the steps that FitBit logs. I find that on the days I do not go to the gym, I log about 7000 steps per day. When I add my cardio workout I usually go anywhere from…

I weight myself every day, first thing in the morning ( after I've gone to the bathroom and before I've had anything to drink). My weight also fluctuates throughout the day and daily. For example, two nights ago I went out and had a few drinks. I was still within my calories for the day, but I still gained 1.2 lbs from the…

I saw The Cult last night and had 4 drinks.... and an after-show drive through snack. Oh well, I only go to shows about once a month

lol, MFP censored Faster *****cat :drinker:

I tried to start a list like this and there are well over 100 "national" acts. No way I could count the local, unsigned bands. Many of them I've seen more than once. The band I've probably seen the most is KIX- somewhere between 20-30 times. Faster *****cat and LA Guns 10-15 times. KISS, Poison, Motley Crue 8-10 times.…

so glad I found this group!!! \mm/

I love going to concerts and drinking. It is honestly just not as fun when you don't drink. I do try to save up calories for those days, but I have learned not to drink on an empty stomach. I try to drink vodka w. soda - straight soda has no calories, so you just have what's in the vodka. I will usually do stoli orange and…
