Ok, so I added 2 oz of FV coffe black. Then 7 tablespoons of 18% cream and 7 teaspoons of sugar. Total, 319 calories. eep!

I know huh? Seriously, who steals people's wet jeans! They took all my clothes out of the washing machine and went through them I guess. I can't sit there for 45 minutes with a 3 year old and a 9 month old, so I run my errands while they wash and then go back. When I got back they were gone. I've tried other brands of…

I get DD iced coffee, and I get a medium FV iced coffee with 7 creams and 7 sugars. (I know, crazy). I KNOW it's going to be like a million calories, but I didn't care today, I needed one after the morning I had (someone stole all of my jeans at the laundry mat) :noway: So yeah, I want to enter it in right, so far I put in…

Yeah. I have been bad this whole week though, lol. We went food shopping and I find it's harder to calculate combined meals. I tried that tool at sparkpeople, but I never know how much to count as a serving. When I make things individually, it's easy, like 2 hot dogs, 1 tbsp of ketchup, etc. But when I make mixed meals…

I have been falling off the wagon, so to speak. It's so much easier for me to eat out and count calories than to make my own meals and try to calculate. Especially if DH cooks dinner, he doesn't measure how much oil he uses to cook the chicken in, etc. So I have gained a pound or two back. I need to get back in the saddle,…

I had 1 cup of cocoa pebbles and 1/2 a cup of 1% milk. (205 calories)

^ That's what I'm afraid of. I am afraid tomorrow I'll wake up and be back to 170 or something. I ate a lot of cals yesterday, but I didn't go over. I had BK salad for supper, I even had a snicker king size ice cream bar because DH picked me up one at the gas station! :embarassed:

Great job! I had that problem yesterday! wooo! :drinker:

Thanks everyone! I really don't feel like I look thinner, but people at work yesterday said I do. I keep doubting myself and thinking "maybe I did fit into these pants before, but I just didn't wear them" :frown: . They were buried under all of my other pants that don't fit, in a bottom drawer. I guess I feel like it's too…

I weighed myself today, and I am 164.5!!! I thought the # was wrong, it HAD to be, so I weighed myself again, and again, and again. All 164.5 I know some could just be daily fluctuation, but I haven't been under 170 since before I got pregnant with baby #1. Even then Imy lowest was 169! I don't feel like I LOOK like I've…

Thanks! I can't wait to break past 170, I haven't been under 170 in years!

Just weighed myself and it came up 171.5!!! I plateaued at 174 this whole past week, AND I had some slip ups with going over my calories. Anyway, I never got past 186 after my older son, then I got pregnant with baby #2, I got down to 172 while breastfeeding, but then I started chain drinking Lipton iced teas and gained…

No, when you enter exercise into MFP, it'll tell you how much extra calories you "earned" from exercising. You always want to eat your exercise calories or you can drop yourself back down to under 1200 calories and send your body into starvation mode. I know some people have links to why you should eat your exercise…

Yeah, I am way too full to try to eat more. I still have 133 left after my shake, so not going to happen. I do feel guilty because I did go way way way over on my sodium, today was junk food all day, but at least I stayed under my calories. I do feel kind of gross though, so tomorrow I'm not eating so much junk.

I guess it depends on your preference. :wink: I don't think they taste like cardboard at all, especially the hostess cakes, if anything they taste MORE chocolaty than the regular cakes to me! lol.

My friend was telling me about that diet today. Not for me! I ate So much today thanks to exercising, I'm overly full and under my calories still. (going to remedy that with a low fat ice cream shake)

the instructor accidentally goes 15 minutes longer than planned with class! :bigsmile: So I worked out for an hour doing spin class (which is very vigorous and burns a lot of cals) So I feel like I have to have a million calories now, lol. I had some BK for supper (side salad, 6 piece cheesy tots, and a whopper Jr) AND I…

I like the elliptical. I used one yesterday, set that sucker to weight loss and was on my merry way!

I wonder if you could even use granulated splenda instead of sugar? Any idea what the calorie count is per batch?

Wow, I wish I fit into 12's! I am 174 lbs and wear a size 14. Congrats!!!

wow, awseome! We have tons too, but our driveway is too big to shovel. Gotta pay to get it plowed. I really want to get a heart monitor.

Thanks, you all are great. This is exactly what I needed. I think I might look on demand and see if there are any cal burning exercises I can do today. We have a big snow storm going on right now, which will turn to an ice storm later, so I doubt I'll be making my spin class.

^Thanks, see that is the reassurance I need. It won't be this exact forever right? And even though I want to grab a bag of chips and eat them, I can't because all we have are blazin BBQ ones for DH, and they are WAY too hot for me. I tried a tiny piece of one and I almost choked. I'm a spice wimp, lol.

I've been cal counting for almost 2 weeks now, and so far I've done ok with motivation. I just DO it, no second guessing, no thinking and dwelling. I just get out my measuring cups and do it. Well I am having a hard day today thinking about counting cal's for ever. No leisure of grabbing a handful of chips at a party…

OMG, swimming with dolphins would be awesome! Have fun!

I love them! I used to think it was so lame to buy them, I had NO clue how many calories were in what at that point, lol. The Hostess chocolate cakes ones are SO good and they really satisfy my chocolate craving with the 3 little cakes. I also have the keebler cookies ones, yum!

Thanks everyone! Ya know, even before counting calories, I usually only get one plate of dinner, maybe two but I never finish both. I'm not worrying about eating 5 plates of food really, I'm more worried about just how much calories are in Chinese food, period. :smile:

Well even so, that list has some pretty yummy foods on it that are a lot healthier than chips. :smile:

I really think I'm going to try and get to the gym at 4 on the dot. I'll do 30/45 or so minutes of cardio and then be able to shower and get ready in the locker room while my kids are still in the daycare room. So it actually might be easier to get ready with no kids pulling on my leg, or needing this or that, lol. I can…

Thanks. I am def going to eat the salad first. I don't mind buffets, never have, but I know lots of people feel the same way about it being gross with so many people eating from the same food bar. Meh. I'm not a veggie person, I hate veggies unless they are very well masked in a soup or stew. My fave is rice, peanut…
