Welcome! Please find some folks with similar interests and send them a friend request right away. This may be of significant help to you. The open community boards can sometimes go the wrong direction...the use of a keyboard seems to bring out oddness in some people...but for the most part you can find supportive and nice…

Over my life I have received some good advice that seems to work here. From my grandmother: you can't become what you wish to be if you remain as you are. From my dad: there are only 2 questions....what's the problem and what are you going to do about it...if you aren't going to do anything, you ain't got a problem, you…

I like the Original Poster's statement...nicely said. Applause. :flowerforyou: Folks often first come here because they need help getting fitter, not because they know how already...yep that's on point. Also, just to note, someone pointed out the Ignore this Person feature the other day. I had not noticed it before. I…

I use these noodles pretty often. They are a good swap as long as you rinse and prep them. An entire bag of Shirataki noodles will only be 40 calories...I usually use ground turkey and a low sugar marinara sauce with them for a filling meal. I make a delicious baked spaghetti with them that my family loves. It helps meet…

It will clump if added too quickly, added to very hot coffee, or if you use a whole scoop at a time. I use just half a scoop to stay down to about 70 calories while still adding some protein. I add it slowly and stir rapidly. I usually have the coffee on ice too..... Here's another way:…

I use it in place of coffee creamer. See: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread9636.html#

I've lost an aggravating resistant average 2 year old...sounds about like the other two year olds in my life.....

Switched off full calorie soda and sugar instead of the Mountain Dews and sugar in my coffee...loss about 17 lbs with not much else changed...this got me going...I figured if just changing to cherry coke zero and monk fruit in my coffee was that effective over about 8 or so months, I must be onto something here... Reduced…

Bump for later

My Grandma used to say: you can't become what you wish to be if you remain as you are! I also like these two: The time will pass whether you get fitter or not, so why not get fitter? The best motivator is habit...form habits you want for a good life. Several of the others on here are really good too! I will be posting them…

Hello! I can see your point since they do have things like frisbee playing in the database. Who knows how much effort that is taking, right? (They also have carpentry, auto repair, etc...I can see how you might want Balance Ball or Balance Ball Routine) Assuming you are using the ball for exercise such as this:…

I have a polar ft4 and its nice. I think my husband had a timex and liked it at one time...

Nom nom nom!

Love the Joe! I tried Whole Foods once and their prices were significantly higher. At Trader Joes I usually pick up: frozen so green beans, almond meal, sardines, bananas, butternut squash cubes, cauliflower, frozen chicken, jasmine rice, frozen mixed berries, sprouted bread, raisin crisps, goat cheese, and lavender hand…

That suit and the fitter you say HIRED! You look great. Keep going and it will work out!

^^^this. SO THIS! Old school me: I was trying to climb the corporate ladder and didn't realize that I was kicking the life ladder out from underneath me. I worked 12 and 14 hours a day sometimes, mostly in front of a computer or in team design meetings where they bring in calorie laden crazy stuff. No exercise. Lots of…

Bump to add to My Topics so I can share this later

I've only lost less than half of what I must lose...so I usually am thinking "There but for the grace of God, go I". This has and will continue to be a real WORK in progress for me. I know that at any time if I become overconfident or slack off, I will slide back into eating poorly and no exercise. I still have occasional…

Too funny! And so true in many cases!

That's truly wonderful! Way to grab and hold on to your blessing!

Arctic Zero vanilla maple is exceptionally good...an entire pint for less than 200 calories! They carry it in several flavors and as bars at my local Whole Foods. It's made from whey protein.

Born and raised! Go North Cac-a-lac-ey! :tongue:

Hey everyone! @meg - oh my, running backwards sounds tough! You are really doing great with the progressive nature of your exercise. Really nice! @stephanie - going farther than you did in October sounds like the right direction. I bet if you keep asking for help with the family, you will get it. My husband had to be asked…

Welcome to MFP. This is a community of folks with all sorts of fitness needs. You are not alone! If you click on community and then check out some of the groups, you will probably find exactly what you are looking for. Some people are super supportive and some not as much but if you are committed to a true change, you will…

I'm with Edollah. Because right now, that's my job. Getting fitter is work and I'm trying to go to work for the payoff. Maybe, when I get really good at my job, I may decide I really like it. I hope so. But, right now, my mirror, my Mom passing from diabetes, my family and friends needing me, tells me to get up and go to…

You can use this site to calculate nutritional data for any recipe: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php?ns=1

I hang out at a better class of website and read interesting stuff about fitness with my spare time. Examples: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php?ns=1 http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ This is better than the Real Housewives or the other dramadies using up life space. Although, the shear…
