  • I love my turkey burgers. I use Oroweat/Arnold Sandwich thin for less bread calories. Lettuce, Tomato, Lite Cheddar and a bit of ketchup - sometimes carmelized onion. I usually season with garlic powder and a bit of S&P and on the grill is best - 2nd best is the stove top grill pan. I ususally buy the already made package…

  • Thanks ! The oatmeal dishes look great. Could you add the nutrition information? If not I can put into my recipes and do it when I make them.

  • My advice (as a 5'7" woman) is to set a goal to be in normal BMI range - it's pretty broad. Once there you can decide if you need to lose more. I am at 158 now - goal is 150 but MAY want to be 145. Just depends on what I can maintain - I just don't want to struggle everyday to try and be thinner but want to exercise and…

  • I count everything. If I want a burger I have to work for it - only one for me :-) And I have had three real good burgers out in 7 months! Since June I have taken off MFP 5 days at Christmas time but that was it - and I still watched what I ate and lost weight. This is not a diet for me - it's a new way of life. When I…

  • Maybe not that particular class but I love my Water Aerobics. GREAT workout - cardio without the pain - Low impact (I have a knee problem) and you workout the entire body. I have taken many a class but now also do with a waterproof case for my ipod loaded up with fast music I like, Speedo water resistence equipment and in…

  • I have found that cardio works best for tummy fat - my tummy is down 8 inches! I carried most of my weight through the middle. Take a few classes - I love Zumba. Hard at first but fun and you get the steps after a few classes. Not a machine girl but the elliptical is a great workout. Good luck!
    in Tips on exercising! Comment by 4lafz January 2011
  • When the going get's tough - the tought get MOVING. Exercise is REALLY important. Find something you love to do. Wii, DVD's, biking, running, walking, so many choices - the gym is not the only way. Portion control when you have no food choices - I am assuming that you live at home. Protein and veggies for dinner. Lots of…

I am down several sizes now and 27 lbs ago took some pants to the tailor in order to have something to wear on a cruise - now those are…

  • Remmber - the size 9 is a Junior size for gals in high school and sometimes college. The body changes once we are 25-30 to more of a woman's body. Aim for a 10 - or even an 8!

  • I try to get it done first thing in the morning. I have to lecture myself quite often! I remind myself that I exercise in order to EAT! That usually does it for me! No exercise - way too limited on food.

  • What helps me (although I do allow myself some sweets) is Good Earth caffeine free tea in Original Sweet & Spicy. I find that hot and REAL flavorful tea works well. Every other type of tea I try is not as flavorful as this one. I drink a lot of it - especially at night

  • Here is my rating - on what I have: Wii Fit Plus - GREAT for starting out. Started with Advanced Step. Now use it still for Free run, Free Step, Strength exercises and Boxing EA Sports Active 2 - Different than Wii Fit Plus - a good workout!

  • I love Lundberg Brown rice cakes - usually with a swipe of almond/peanut butter. 100 cal mini bag of popcorn is good too. I also love Trader Joes Popped Chips (or the brand PopChips) but usually have 1/2 serving with lunch and put them away :-) I get Brothers all natural Fruit Crisps at Costco - but they are sweeter…

  • I have not done for a few weeks but LOVE Rythmn Boxing on Wii. I do in conjunction with Free Run and some strength exercises for an excellent workout too. Just thought about it and the one I am doing is part of Wii Fit Plus - not sure if there is just a Wii boxing game that you may be talking about.
