It looks like you need to try different stuff. For dinner instead of a biscuit try another mini bagel or some bread, or even some type of cracker. ... that would save on calories and fat. I see you had two eggs ... how about getting a carton of egg whites. Use just one egg and a serving of the egg whites that would save on…

Wow ... bright green, full of sugar and a days worth of calories in the serving shown.

City rat here ... near 15th & P Streets NW. Mostly walk to work, sometimes ride the bus home. AC in the summer, dry and warm in the winter ... the National Gallery is a great indoor spot for being on your feet and doing some (albiet slow) walking. About one weekend a month I'll walk over to the National Mall to visit the…

If you work near Dupont Circle ... have you tried Bread and Brew or Moby **** ... both south of the circle.

You are not alone ... it takes two to tango. It sounds like you have fully participated as an enabler and suddenly you want to change the rules of the game. As unfair as the ground rules have been it sounds like you helped establsh these patterns. - Have you had a conversation about this and reached some consensus on new…

How about some barely blanched green beans with Caucasian Walnut Sauce (recipe below); or look on line for a Gougere recipe and make some tiny cheese puffs.

Rosie you look riveting ... keep up the good work.

I've gotten a flu shot every year since the mid-80s. I'm all for modern medicine and vaccinations. We have flu shots available in the health room where I work ... no one is forced to take one. Where are these people being forced to take flu shots or loose there jobs?

I don't even have to cross the street, just a round the corner or I can go out the back door and cut through the alley so I do nearly all of my food shopping at WF. Check out the - Changing Seas Smoked Salmon - Weleda Shaving Cream - Weleda Sage Deodorant - Cascadian Farm Wild Blueberries (frozen) - Cascadian Farm…

Add cook books to your Christmas list and maybe you will get some cook books. Also look in thrift stores and second hand book shops for cookbooks. Online, I got a used copy of Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian and it is packed with great and many low calorie ideas.

I guess it all depends on what you call a MEAL ... It sounds like unnecessary self imposed torture to me. ... if you are eating 8 or nine 200 calorie meals a day it just seems like 8 or 9 times a day to be unsatisfied ... how about 3 - 500 calorie meals and 2 - 100 calorie snacks or fruit. That said for 200 calorie ....…

Nothing ... I don't have a crock pot.

I enjoy food ... shopping for it, cooking it, and eating it. At home, at restaurants and at peoples houses. I've been known to read a cook book as though it where a novel.

A Big Mac every now and again is not the end of the world. While I don't recommend eating all 5 Big Mac and fries at one sitting, in one day, or even in one week ... every now and again they are tasty. As long as eating a Big Mac is a conscious and informed eating choice and you plan for the calories. Just, please, please,…

Similar to a McVities Digestive ... a bit lighter and sweeter ... sometimes made with cinnamon. Digestive crumbs would work well in this.

Check out the topic I just posted ... "Intolerance of Sexy Peers" . It links to a research study from an academic article. Just reading the brief abstract made me want to read the whole article.

Try putting on the same really tight pair of pants each morning, or a shirt that gapes and pulls when it is buttoned. As the pants get closer to fitting or the shirt gapes less ... you may remain motivated. This may be a simple thing but it's real .... sometimes the numbers on the scale are abstract. When those clothes fit…

Just figure out the nutrition per ingredient, total then divide by the number of servings. You only have to figure the calorie count one time per recipe then make a note in your cookbook or as a footnote on your recipe. I pencil in the calorie count beside the ingredient list then write the calories per serving near the…

I'm a carnivore that enjoys tasty vegetarian food. While I've gone weeks at a time without meat or fish (in India where the veg food is varied, spiced and tasty), I like meat. I'm fully committed to being a vegetarian every-other-day. During the course of every day life I often go several days at a time veg, but I like…

Wow no weight loss and FOUR HOURS (240 minutes) of aerobic dance on Nov 27? If you can do 4 hours of aerobic dance you should be training for marathons. The guy that won the NYC marathon this year only ran for two hours, five minutes, and six seconds. What about eating a real breakfast ... egg nog? coffee? Maybe if you ate…

This is where I was born ... ... my name was already taken on MFP.

I see you have been a MFP member since 2010, Have you ever in your whole life been able to lose 30 lbs in 30 days and keep it off? What makes you believe you could do it between Thanksgiving and Christmas when the food and wine is flowing and…

I guess it depends on what you call a workout. Can you count .... -- bending and stretching when you dust and vacum. How about carrying a load of laundry to and from the washer, then folding and putting away clean laundry? Washing the floor and scrubing out the bath tub? (stretch and flexibility) -- walking to and from…

Have you seen the Ram Dev yoga instructions. You can just search on You Tube for "ramdev yoga" and find lots of free clips for yoga led by Ram Dev ... he is also on some cable tv. If this is the type of yoga you like DVDs are also available if you search on line.

Never underestimate the trouble a small bottle of peroxide can cause.

Pink Lady and Gala. But I only like medium to small apples ... so many of the apples in the shop are huge and look like they have been on a course of steriods.

How are you drinking, slowly sipping all day long or downing an 8oz glass at a time? Perhaps you could monitor how your intake is timed and see if the output has any relationship. A couple of days you can constanly sip water through out the day and then try a couple of days where you drink a full 8 oz glass of water at one…

I vote for lower temp ... longer time. Do you place the cheesecake in a bain marie ?
