Try Simply Enjoy: Mango Sorbet. 1/2 c = 80 cal. It's especially good with fresh basil or mint. I buy it at Martins, a subsidiary of Giant stores.

27 year difference When we met, I was 28 and he was 55 (a month older than my mother!). It is a long distance, open relationship that began in 2006.

I've never really understood the idea of ordering something that I can easily make at home. If I'm going to get something at Subway (or any other restaurant), it's because I've saved (or earned) the calories to have something I can't or wouldn't bother making at home.

Stand in the back and do your own thing. Have fun with it. Just dance and sweat; that's all that really matters :D

spread it on whole grain toast topped with fresh raspberries - excellent breakfast/brunch

When I was avoiding simple carbs (processed grains, refined sugars, potatoes, corn, etc), I was eating **more** calories than I am now and was losing weight faster. I did not experience any lag in energy levels. This held true for over a year and a half. In mid-December I started using MFP and watching calories instead of…

I'm definitely a dog-person, but I'm definitely *not* an extravert. I can neither confirm nor deny being slightly neurotic. :tongue: The reseach doesn't hold true with me.

I met my boyfriend on okcupid.com. We'll celebrate our 1-year anniversary next month. It's been an amazing and wonderful year. :heart:

I'm introverted and maintain a small, but close, circle of friends in real life. Does that make me a snob? I should hope not. How is friending in MFP any different? Extroverts may want a ton of MFP friends. As an introvert, that would be overwhelming, draining, stressful, and counter-productive.

I agree that your calorie target sounds really low. If you're physically hungry, you're not doing yourself, or your metabolism any favors. You may want to decrease your goal weight loss to 1 or 1.5 pounds / week.

I should add that I'm not diabetic and my blood-sugar labs have always been normal.

I regained some of the 70 lbs, but I did maintain it for over a year. I started regaining the weight when I began dating an Italian man who cooked. He frowned on whole grain and/or brown rice pastas, and, like so many, he poo-pooed on any diet that paid attention to insulin/blood sugar effects on weight gain. It is hard to…

You're probably going to get a lot of hate-speech against all carb-related diets. Personally, I'm not a fan of Atkins. Instead I push South Beach. It recommends limiting simple carbs but encourages complex carbs (the ones your body breaks down more slowly), thus avoiding insulin spikes and the resulting blood-sugar drops.…

I'm 33 and 5' 4.5" with a large frame. I used BMI and knowledge of my body type to help me set a goal. I know that I'm naturally curvaceous. (I previously lost 70 lbs without losing a single bra cup size!) I also know that in the past, I felt fairly comfortable in the 160 lbs range. I decided that 155 lbs. is a healthy and…

Declawing is unnatural and inhumane. Don't adopt a pet if you're not prepared to handle the possible consequences. I'm in absolute agreement with kacee75. Pets are NOT gifts, anymore than you would present someone with a unexpected baby and say Merry Christmas.

Some friends aren't worth keeping around. Ditch the weighty baggage and keep on keepin' on.
