There have been a lot of great ideas here. I'm afraid I can't help. I love oatmeal plain and mushy. :-)

I've worked out alone for years and always ask other "lifters" for a spot. Just spend a little time observing and you'll see who knows what they're doing and who does not.

I refuse to completely give up wine, however I am limiting it to a glass on the weekend instead of every night. :-)

I was shocked one day to discover I was eating 3 ounces of cheese while making a sandwich! Now I weigh and measure everything. I have an inexpensive scale that works for me, although a digital one sounds great! I may invest in one. Doing this and logging it on MFP has made all the difference in the world for me.

I've been following a plan written by Dr. Mike Roussell called, "The Six Pillars of Nutrition." It's not as much a "diet" as a healthy eating plan. Within this plan I count calories. I weigh and measure everything and enter all of it into MFP. The plan is a little bit carb-restricted in that starchy carbs are only allowed…

Great thread! My list includes: - Even one bite of anything at work (it's all cookies, donuts and candy) - Thinking, "Just one won't hurt" - "Forgetting" to prepare my food the night before - Being "too tired" to go to the gym on a regular basis - Drinking wine on weeknights (usually corresponds with "too tired" above) -…

Congratulations! You've done so well! The last few pounds are always the most difficult. You should never eat below 1,200 a day. If you can manage a WII session that burns 500 calories each day, with an extra session on some days, you should be able to lose more weight. Using your wrist and ankle weights to provide some…

I love to mix 1/2 cup frozen blueberries with 1 cup Fage plain, non-fat yogurt and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The blueberries melt and create just the right amount of liquid to mix with the yogurt. It's a yummy 170 calorie snack! I'm intrigued by the idea of mixing it with chocolate protein powder. I'll need…
