Thanks for all the well wishes! I am dedicated...if I can get 30 lbs off, I am not going back, just moving forward!! Thanks!!

Thanks so much! I did a friend request since you are almost the same weight and age as I am! Very motivating!

I usually get a 6ox sirloin and a side of steamed veggies. I don't eat seafood, so having a steak makes me feel like I'm having a cheat meal, but its not too bad. Enjoy!

When you signed up for mfp, it asks you what lifestyle you lead. This way when it assigns you your calorie goals, it takes into account that you are "burning" a certain amt of calories already based on your answer. For example, my daily goal is 1380, but I chose sedentary b/c I mostly sit at a computer. You can't count…

What I do is combine the turkey and sauce on the recipe tool on mfp and then figure how many cups that makes and it will tell you the nutritional value for each cup. I don't mix the noodles in, this way I can measure them out by the cup as well.

Coffee or Apple Juice. Also, when my daughter (4 yrs old) is like that, her doctor says to put a little dark kayro syrup in 8 ox of water and drink it. It always worked for her. Hope it gets better!

I say enjoy it in moderation. Maybe take your own Sugar Free syrup for the pancakes so you can cut calories. Enjoy!

I was also told that if you do weight training the same day as cardio that you should do cardio last. Not sure how factual that is though.

I began using the weight machines now along with my cardio. Not realy heavy lifting, but as I lose weight, I want to make sure I am toning as I lose so I don't have flabby skin. I do a couple of rep's on each maching. Usually last less than 30 min.

I can tell you I was eating 800-900 ne calories and stalled...once I began eating more and adding in a little more exercise, I started to see results pretty quickly. Think about how crappy you will feel if you don't get your workout in. I usually feel pretty guilty.

Always go by your hrm..it will be more accurate

I always make sure I net at least 1200, so sometimes that means I am eating 1800 calories. I usually burn between 700-800 a day, so I added in more healthy foods throughout the day. An extran snack or more with lunch. It's working great for me. I think you may just have to try both ways and see what works for you. Good…

Daily...although I only record it on Monday mornings as soon as I wake up.

Calvin Klein- Euphoria I have received lots of compliments on it

Try eating some mixed nuts, unsalted of course. High in protein and fills my calories after I work out.

I loved The Book Thief- its set in WWII and is fiction. I also just finished Water for Elephants set in the 1930's around a circus, but its really a love story!

I'm bumping to see the answer! I too do 60 min of cardio and then just bounce around on the machines until I'm tired. No particular order and no particular reps. I need a schedule as well!

Eeek! I wasn't tracking my sodium and when I go back this past week, it has been around 2200-2500 mark! Its amazing how I can be smart with some things, but this whole fitness/health stuff boggles my mind! So apparently I am eating too much sodium and drinking not enough water. Hopefully this will take care of some of the…

Thanks for the tips and support! I find it hard to consume all my calories, I try to be so good all day and then by 8pm, I have like 60 left over! I will make a better effort to eat more of my excercise calories back. Also, I hate water, so I guess I should drink more of that. I feel bloated and puffy alot, could this be…

I have Just Dance 2 and use it at home after I have done 30 day shred. It's a pretty game to get more mobility and flexibility, but not a huge burn for me. I use a Heart Rate Monitor, so when I log it in the database I choose dancing, aerobic and use the calories on my HRM. It anything, its fun and helpful for me to get…

For me, the louder and faster, the better. I listen to a lot of metal/rock. Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Black Sabbath etc. It gets me pumped!

I am a mom of 2 (ages 3 and 6), I work 45-50 hrs a week and my husband works around 60-70 hrs a week! We are very busy, but I get in a least 4-5 days of exercise a week. I use the YMCA so my kids can play in the daycare center or on days when they don't want to go, I have a few dvd's to use at home. I always use 30 day…

1. July 2010- My husband and I took our 2 kids (ages 6 and 3) camping. I watched my kids have a water baloon fight with some other kids and their parents as I sat in a lounge chair in the shade because I was too tired, too hot and too fat to get up and run around with them. I was soooo mad! It should not be someone else…
