  • that is awesome! congrats on your success :) you will continue to feel so much better not drinking soda!
  • that is awesome! congrats on your restraint :flowerforyou: I know it is hard, but it will be worth it in the end! I agree with some of the other posters...if you decided you wanted to splurge a little that day and have a small piece, that would have been fine too but you decided you didn't want to and stuck to your guns…
  • I usually get a salmon avocado roll and a tuna roll. Ask if they have brown rice as well. I always get a side of edamame too :happy:
  • Just enjoy ONE! Instead of making them yourself and then having 20 sitting around, go with a friend to a bakery and just buy a fancy one :smile: Have a good work out that day and enjoy the cupcake! :tongue:
  • 1. Harry Potter series...hands DOWN! 2. Water for Elephants 3. tie between Pillars of the Earth and Game of Thrones series (can't stop reading GOT, on the 4th book, but some things that happen reallyyyyy infuriate me! I'll leave it at that for those of you who want to read it)
  • You've done so well so far and had great accomplishments. I think you should take the night off from tracking and just enjoy yourself and your husband (and the champagne!). This doesn't mean you HAVE to go hog wild. You could still just order a piece of fish and veggies and just not stress over how they prepared it to the…
  • I usually try and stay around 1200 but there are many people on here that believe it's better to eat more calories. I think if you don't adjust to the 1200 cal mark and are still feeling bad and hungry, then bumping it up to 1400 or so would be okay. Also, did you consider your workout calories from your walk? You can eat…
  • congrats! that is an awesome feeling :wink:
  • CINCINNATI :drinker: :love:
  • They definitely aren't the best option nutritionally but I think if you eat one every once and a while to stay on track you will be fine! I eat them because it is easy to grab when I am stressed and busy but I try not to too often because I bloat easily and they do have a of sodium like others have said :ohwell: Anyways,…
  • That doesn't just happen from running a mile a day and doing a 20 minute work out DVD so do not worry about that. To look like that takes sincere dedication and majorly, planned-out hard work! Doing the 30 DS/running and watching what you eat will help you lose or maintain your weight (whichever you are attempting…
  • My dad just got his first one on his upper arm at the age of 53...he works out really hard and has huge biceps so he's been wanting to get a nice tattoo to show them off and he loves it :laugh: I'm getting my first one in a few weeks but I'm only 23 :smile:
  • I can't see your diary, but maybe you aren't eating enough throughout the day? If you are really hungry at the end of the day, sometimes its harder to keep control. As I can't see your diary, I don't know if this is the problem, but if it is try eating a filling breakfast with lots of protein and keep healthy snacks around…
  • It's a great site! I'm happy you have found it! :smile:
  • no worries @mbelt004 :flowerforyou: That swim suit is flattering on you! I love the colors (black and turquoise are my favvorritte!) and the band around the waist cinches you in perfectly! keep up the hard work, you look great!
  • put on a salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing...maybe some chicken, pine nuts, and craisins? mmm!
  • YES! I retain when I'm ovulating AND pms-ing. In other words, there is only about 1 week a month when I am not bloated from hormonal changes =\ (I literally look 6 months pregnant even though I usually have a fairly flat tummy) I am considering seeing someone because my mom had the same issues when she was younger and they…
  • Hello! I am on every day (I don't log my calories on the weekend because I am usually too busy running around, but I still try and make good choices!). Anyways, I love MFP and like I said, I am here every day, whether it is to log or just check in see what's going on so feel free to friend me :)
  • My friend teaches 4th graders. One day, a boy asked her what year she was born in; she replied "1989" and he said "yeah right, if you were born in 1989, you'd be walking with a cane by now!"
  • I eat 1200 cals a day (plus some of my exercise calories) and I still eat bread, pasta (wheat), brown rice, and potatoes! I just watch my portions and plan ahead. Some days (mostly around my period) I feel more hungry than usual, but if I eat healthy, filling foods (with some treats thrown in), I maintain my calories…
  • free??? you mean tax payers paying for it (and higher insurance premiums, therefore you are still technically paying for it). If you think making birth control free is going to reduce the amount of teen pregnancies and so forth, then you will probably be surprised. Condoms are not that expensive and yet they are not using…
  • 1. egg whites 2. brown rice 3. wheat pasta 4. peanut butter 5. low sodium rice cakes (my new thing)
  • Feel free to add me! I check in every day but usually don't log on the weekends because I am too busy running around (I still make smart decisions though). Saturdays are usually my cheat days. Besides that, I am here every day and am interactive! I need more friends too :smile:
  • I love egg whites! Pour on hot sauce and its quick, easy, and yummy. I will eat a side of fruit sometimes too. I also like low sodium rice cakes with peanut butter. Keeps you full for a long time!
  • Thank you all for the responses! I am definitely considering buying a FitBit soon. As for a HRM, does anyone have suggestions for an afforable, easy-to-use HRM that tracks calories burned?
