    in Calories burned by jumping on a trampoline? Comment by mwadams July 2011
  • I brown bag it every day, and I also enjoy a lot of little things all day long. Here is a list of what I typically bring (including snacks): raw veggies or a small baggie of Wheat Thins Bigs crackers and a wedge of laughing cow light cheese, some type of fruit--green grapes are definitely my favorite, a reduced-fat string…
    in Need Lunch suggestions (Brown bag type) Comment by mwadams March 2011
  • I eat a lot of the Morningstar Farms products--they taste great (except the sausage links--I don't like those) and they are very reasonable in terms of calories.

  • I think you should be *thrilled* to have lost so much since January! Good for you! My scale hasn't moved at all in 2 1/2 weeks, and I, too, am getting depressed. I'm stuck at 160.5 lbs (exactly where I started on myfitnesspal.com) and would be ecstatic if I could lose even 1 lb--any progress at this point would be cause…
    in A question for women around 160-180lbs in weight and working Comment by mwadams February 2009
  • Hi, I'm not an expert by any means, but I have a friend who teaches aerobics and nutritional classes, and she says that when you hit a plateau like it sounds as if you have, to change your exercise routine. If you normally jog, try an aerobics class; if you normally do a step class, try a different cardio class, etc. with…
