Sounds great. @Tech - you can put recipes into MFP - Food --> recipes and then add the ingredients and how many servings it is and they'll tell you what the breakdown is :)

You can use it as a pie filling as well. I used to do that a loooong time ago. Haven't found a low cal pie crust recipe yet, but it would make a great pie, put a little extra cool whip on top :) Good post OP!

LOL Pretty funny. When I had short hair I would get called Sir all the time, plus I have an andro name so really it's not a big deal. Happened at work one day by an older lady and one of my coworkers flipped out after she left. I was like chill it happens all the time, I don't blame people. I look like a boy with short…

I've had 1 co-worker come out to me and that was about 8 years ago. She told me she was Bi one day out of the blue. I'm not sure that I ever really "came-out" there too, but when you hang out with 2 of the biggest lesbos in the company it just happens LOL Didn't bother me though. Even though we've both moved to new jobs…

I went to one for about a year, they aren't really that bad. They have everything you need. Our had a smoothie bar which was awesome. The staff wasn't so great, but hey what are you gonna do. If that's the only gym you have then give it a shot it's better than nothing and membership is cheap. Even if you have another gym…

Tripped me out some too, but I've gotten more used to it. I still have trouble on my workout days though, eating more calories just has me REALLY full! But I know it's for the best! Hard to wrap your head around though esp when most diets tell you to eat at such a large deficit.

This is one of the many reasons I used to chew really strong mint gum while on cardio machines. Bad breath is another one. Someone crop dusted the entire dumbbell rack the other day and it was not pretty ... esp when you have to sit there to finish out your sets. I was thinking 'really, that was necessary' ... Just like…

The scale is just torture. I gave it up a long time ago and have felt better since. It's so much easier to judge how you are doing by how you feel and how your clothes fit. The scale coudl say you're at the same weight, but when your jeans are falling off you know you are doing something right.

Ok let's try this again! :) Orange Tabby is Jack Skellington - I've had him since birth (he has a bro/sis too w/ a friend). He talks A LOT, loves to go outside, eventhough he's an indoor cat and loves dogs. Not super affectionate, but when he wants to he snuggles. And he's great about sensing when you aren't in a good…

This looks great ... maybe this weekend! :)

NM not letting me post pics for some reason .. I'll show my 2 kitties when I figure out what's wrong.

Stairs are a great workout. For cardio and a little muscle. Just make sure you push yourself! :)

Too true!

DMB Fan checking in :)

Get back into my shorts that are only 1 size smaller than my current size. Slimmer with a more defined body. Lose fat and gain more muscle. Get complimented on how I look by my parents. :)

bump :) Think I might leave out the raisins and add some protein powder, see how that works. I would love a quick easy protein cookie recipe that is fairly low calorie :)

Not sure if this has been posted yet. First you'll need a crockpot! 1 bag frozen chicken breasts (if you use fresh cut the cooking time a little) 1 bag baby carrots (i use a large bag) 2 cubed baking potatoes (or red) or 1 large sweet potato Mrs Dash Original Seasoning (or anything you like - the garlic herb is good and so…

Oatmeal is the best. It's great with a scoop of protein too :) Eggs and toast can be pretty filling

Pre-make breakfast burritos. They have some low carb/low cal tortillas that you can use. Egg whites, veggies, cook them all up roll em up and freeze them, pop in the micro for a little bit (depends on micro) and there you have it. Do the same thing w/ protein pancakes, just pop in the toaster. Protein shakes Keep some…

Like Into said, tostadas are a good choice. Ask for all the "toppings" on the side and it's not too bad. You can always get fajitas and not eat the tortillas or just have one and eat the rest of the veggies/meat. If they have whole beans stick to those instead of refried and stay away from the rice LOL

Crockpot is the best way to precook chicken that I have found. 1 Bag Frozen Chicken Breasts 1 cup low sodium chicken broth Mrs Dash Garlic Seasoning (or whatever flavor you want) 1/2 cup water Low for 8-10 hrs (over night for me) Chicken comes out really juicy w/ a lot of flavor, heats up great never dries out. You can…

The one that worked best for me: get rid of the scale, it'll only make things harder. I 100% agree. Reading your body is a much better gauge. Weight is just a number. It shouldn't consume you. But how about the way you feel when you put your pants on and they are too big, you go to put a belt on and you move down a hole,…

My partner and I talk about it all the time. But mostly because I like to check in with her and make sure she doesn't feel ignored or anything. We've both agreed that we would rather have great experiences less frequently then ok all the time. It's proved to us that there is more to our relationship then just sex. Besides…

I've heard great things about the Polar FT4 and FT7 (or something close) they are a little more pricey than $35, but I would say they are worth it. I'm actually going to get myself one in the next few weeks. :) Good luck finding something. I had a pedometer for a long time and it's amazing what you will push yourself to do…

Gfs brother was stationed in Minot for a while. :) Have always had the utmost respect for all military personnel. Thank you! :)

Fun rocks ... saw them in WeHo 2 years ago! :) Home by Michael Buble (thank you spotify)

My nemesis! LOVE these cookies. Going to have to be good, but I can't pass up a cookie season w/out some thin mints. I always freeze them.

That is a great victory for anyone! :) I used to be the same way so I know how hard it is. Congrats on saying no :)

I love that feeling. I was going 6x's a week before that on a different program, then took a week off and think I am almost went crazy towards the end. Got back to gym on Monday and was so relieved. Forgot how much I like to lift weights. Plus I sleep a lot better now. Who'd have known!

I might just have to try these (if I can find them), I LOVE pasta! :) A 20 calories sub would be awesome.
