I had a baby 12 weeks ago too. Add me as a friend and we can work on it together!!! I need to get in gear and get moving!! Good luck!

I always make Chicken Divan for friends that need meals that can freeze. Just take a few chicken breast and boil them and then cut them up. Cool some broccoli florets and put with the chicken. Then you take one can of cream of chicken soup (can be fat free), 1 cup of mayo (again fat free if you want) and then add about a…

I have the Zumba DVD's as I was too intimidated to go to "Live" classes and I LOVE THEM!!! Once you get the moves down it's so fun. I got the set with the Zumba toning sticks and it's fun and there is a few different work outs so I don't get bored. Hope you enjoy them if you decide to buy them!!

Okay so I was away on vacation - gained a pound :( So my goal this week is 158!!! Week 4 Starting Weight : 160 Goal Week 4 : 158

So I know I'm late to the party this month - I've been on vacation. This month NO EXCUSES!!! I didn't gain on vacation but I didn't lose either so I'm weighing in today: SW:160 GW 10/31: 155 GW: 130

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 159 :) AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 157 (will hopefully be able to log in - going on vacation!!) WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! Of course not!! I can't resist chocolate - I have a 100 calorie slim fast bar or snack built into my daily calories :( I'll make the challenge this week and…

I'm in on this challenge. I would LOVE to be 145 by Christmas - I haven't been that weight since before my husband and I met 9 years ago!!! Location: Colorado Springs, Co I like: Hanging out with my family, reading, cooking I don't like: CANCER (my dad has pancreatic cancer), being unhealthy, people who feel they are…

Do you already have a Wii? I do and I love the Wii "get physical" games, Wii Fit, EA Active, Jillian, Etc. But we were at the state fair the other day and they had the xbox 360 kinect - it was AMAZING!! It gets released in November and is all motion detected - so when you move at all it moves. You jump it jumps, so it's…

I started doing 8 reduced fat wheat thins and one wedge of laughing cow cheese = 100 calories So some days I even do 16 crackers and 2 wedges. They have all different flavors of cheese too, so it doesn't get boring. Plus 8 crackers may seem like a little but if you lay them out on a small plate and spread the cheese and…

I'm in again this month and this month I WILL LOSE 5 lbs!!!!! SW: 161 9/30 GW: 156 GW: 130

I really like this challenge - plus I'm going to try to get my husband to do it too!!! I think we an make healthier choices then grabbing something because it's quick and easy!!! Here's to it!!!

Someone posted today about dark chocolate peanut butter dreams!! Yummy!! They also have white chocolate and cinnamon raisin, among other yummy goodies. Google it - I found the jars at my local Kroger/King Soopers. They also have to-go squeezable packs that look great for on the go. I like it on low fat graham crackers, or…

If you like to dance - you'll LOVE to Zumba!! It's addicting!! Plus you can burn up to 600 calories an hour!!

Turkey Mini Meatloaves from Cook Yourself Thin - I really like the added spinach in them, plus it's a great way to get kids to eat veggies :) I also just tear up the slice of bread I don't actually food processes it - much easier and I use a large muffin tin pan to make the 4 meatloaves - each muffin cup is the size of 1…

Thanks for all the encouragement. What was amazing isn't that I felt lousy because I ate the brownie, but because my body just said "REALLY, YOU'VE BEEN DOING SO GOOD AND YOU ARE PUTTING THAT IN ME" My body was not happy and still isn't - not worth it. Next time gum or a piece of fruit will suffice!!!

Ladies, I hear you!! I feel like eating the entire fridge every night. I've started saving more calories for the end of the day so that I can snack. I'm sure that isn't the correct to do it, but if I eat all the right stuff all day and don't have the calories at night I always overeat for the day!! I wish there was a…

I'm looking at Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, or Insanity - just watching ebay and craigslist to get it at a price I can afford right now.

Congratulations!!! I did a 5K walk yesterday too - there were only 300 participants but I would say there were over 20 that didn't finish it until after an hour! So you are doing GREAT!! Next year I hope to run it, hopefully you will too!! :)

I like FiberChoice, you can get them sugar free and they taste good. But just adding ground flax is really good too. I put it in my yogurt or cereal in the morning, but I add it to my flour and anything I bake.

I'm late checking in, but here I am again this month. I missed last months goal by a pound so we'll do 6 this month!! 164 August Goal 158 this month - OUT OF THE 160's!!!

I was thinking coco puffs too!! But these sound good, where do you get them?

I like to have an egg white omelette in the morning, but don't always have time to cook it on the stove - so I found if you put a little cooking spray in a good sized coffee mug and then through anything you want into it with the egg white and stir a little then pop it in the microwave to a minute at a time - usually takes…

I've tried to find "better" baking options. I use whole wheat flour in all of my baking now (well a mixture of white, wheat, flax seed, and wheat germ) for more fiber and just better overall health. I also try to bake when I'm least likely to eat it, because I've already eaten and then I chew gum on top of that or brush my…

WOW that is being really supportive to newbies!! I thought this site was about encouraging others and helping them find answers quickly. While I know the subjects that you addressed are asked daily, it's because until you are familiar with the site posting a question is the easiest and first thing you know how to do. Also…

Great thought, but my thought would be wouldn't it be GREAT if I lost all this weight, felt great and the only problem now is that I have to get a NEW tattoo to mark the occasion!!! Just a thought, but I don't think it will shrink to where you don't know what it is, especially on your back.

Thanks for posting, because I find that I am always over my protein too. I really think the overall count is the MOST important, and being aware of the other counts is good. But I'm glad to hear others replies!!

Night girl is a B#&@*!!! I have tried to tame her and she just keeps coming back!!! I have been trying to save more calories for later in the day, just because I have to plan for her to come out. I also try to have "good snacks" easily accessible so that I they are the first thing I see when I want something. Good luck…

I love my Zumba, and have seen a difference in my body, but not a huge weight loss yet. I haven't been doing it for too long, but hopefully with getting on MFP it will help me get to losing! I LOVE doing it though and hope to have the courage to attend a class sometime. Congratulations on your weight loss, it gives me more…

This weekend has been such a challenge! I threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law and made the cake and had a brunch - no low fat food there! My mother-in-law planned the meal, but I cooked it! I tried to resist but haven't been too successful. I weighed this morning to check in and I haven't gained but haven't lost…

ZUMBA!!! I really like it and find it fun and motivating!! They advertise it as lose 10 inches in 10 days and give you a schedule to follow! The ones I have, have and abs workout that work both your abs and waist! I really feel it the next day. Plus its FUN FUN FUN. and you can find drop in classes at a pretty good rate…
