Butter or nothing for me...it's so much better and if I have to adjust other things to make it fit, it's worth it!

If you are consistently have trouble staying in your calorie range, maybe you don't have enough...reassess your goals...also consider opening your diary so we can see what you're eating...I did that and it helped a lot!

try FRESH peas...they are totally different than canned peas, like it's not even the same vegetable...that different! I like frozen ones too, but the FRESH ones are NOT mushy in the least!

http://www.doitdelicious.com/...lot's of great recipes to as you said "sneak" in veggies, but I guess if you're the cook and you have long term memory you can't really sneak them on yourself, but whatever!

I have a Sportline HRM that is an mp3 player that links to a chest strap. A voice breaks in on the music and audibly tells you when you reach target heart rate, if you need to step it up or if you need to slow down and periodically tells what your HR is...I like it a lot because I don't have to look at anything, it also…

Listen to your body...and your doctor! I wasn't that heavy when I started running, so I don't have much more to offer. I wish you well!

I just eat what I want when we go out...AND...I track it! It keeps me honest with myself. As someone else said...one day isn't gonna make or break you. I don't normally eat back my exercise points either, so I typically stay withing my goal range. I am also more active on weekend, (I have more time)...it's a balancing act!…

^^^^^TOTALLY THIS!!!^^^^ For the most part you seem to be doing well...everyone has issues, but the best thing to do is keep on trying!!!

I used to eat them all the time, and I lost weight! That said, I'm now more concerned with being healthy than I am in just being thin, so the nutrition in the foods I choose is more important to me. Now I eat REAL FOOD, food that grew from the the ground or swam in the water (I eat very little meat..I just don't really…

Hey that might be part your answer...do shower with him!!!

Yes!!! I KNOW they can...you start by going out and walking and then pick up speed to run...if you can only run 30 seconds the first time it's okay walk again until you feel like trying to run again, the next time you may run for 40 seconds or more, eventually you'll be running longer and longer...as for being self…

It's because parrots go around with their pecker showing all the time :wink:

Family of 4...I'm pescetarian, the family are omnivores, we're all locavores... we spend around $500 a month when we're growing the majority of our produce and around $800 a month during the off season. My cut is between 1700-1800 a day.

This...I usually make my own soups, I'm a clean eater and want to know exactly what I'm eating, but it's soooo easy to just throw together a rich hearty, complete meal in a big pot and have lunches for several days. I usually make a pot every weekend and freeze it in pint freezer jars, then take a jar out, pop it in my…

it is true that some people lose weight still eating smaller amounts of bad foods...but they aren't necessarily getting healthier, just smaller... WW members are supposed to follow Good Health Guidelines (GHGs) about things like fruits and veggies and whole grains, dairy, water ect...if you meet all your GHGs you don't…

I lost 35 pounds doing it! You can usually get in to a meeting for free...see if you get a good vibe and join if you like...it is a lot like MFP...I met my WW Goal and now I can go for free for life (as long as I maintain my weight within 2 pounds of my goal)...I like support of going to the meetings and I also like the…

I know they're expensive, but YEAH it's time for new shoes...make sure you get fitted at a good running specialty store too. I was running in the wrong size until I went to someplace better than you typical big box athletic store!

Please add me...anybody who can be of assistance or who I can help! I am starting training Monday, June 4th...my first half will be in November...with lots of steps along the way (my husband an I run a race every month, just to stay motivated...my profile pic is from May 19thWarrior Dash NC)...I'm doing a 10k in September,…
