  • this...just put exercises for wheelchair users in google, and you will find an abundance of blogs and websites dealing with this issue providing adequate workout.
  • 3-4 Chicken breast, 1 jar of Salsa to taste medium or hot, 2 Tbsp of Chili Sauce (Heinz or whatever you prefer) , Salsa Ranchero (can be found in a can in the hispanic food isle). Put it all together in the slow cooker, 2 hours on high and 3 on low or 7-8 on low. Serve with rice and baked beans.
  • Dancing is usually something I don't perceive as a workout and puts me in a good mood as well, as long as I am not too tired. Playing with the dog can also burn some calories. I have to refrain from repetitive training as in step trainers or the like as they make me hurt more.
  • Rescued mutt out of a high kill shelter here. He was said to be a Labmix, but he is actually Chow chow with Jack Russell. An absolute mama dog. I am also on the "dog-diet": give about a quarter of your food to your dog, and you cut your calories also down 25 % :laugh: I really hate to see parvo being so much around here.…
  • I do not like the professional bodybuilder type. I am also not crazy about guys who work out 4 hours a day in the gym to keep a sixpack. I like to spend some time with my partner and as I am not the kind who enjoys 4 hours of working out, that would be a bad match for me. I honesty like men with a little gut, but that's…
  • And while reading this topic MFP shows me a banner for 10 dollar pizza at pizzahut :laugh: Won't get me to not use MFP anymore though...
  • Unfortunately this is true for any kind of discussion on the internet. You will always find people who think they have the "truth, the only truth, and the complete truth" booked. It helps to put a mental ignore on such fellas and simply enjoy the people who are not like that :). What gets me, additionally to being rude, is…
  • Judge shows....I know, disgusting :blushing:
  • Lean ground beef or lean ground turkey (the turkey they sell here is 85/15 which has more calories than the lean ground beef) instead of normal. Whole wheat spaghetti instead of normal. I grind up some carrots real fine and add them to the tomato sauce, that I make only with canned tomatoes, no sugar added. Italian no…
  • I ordered my dress over Ebay, custom made to measure in China. The dress was a whooping 250 dollars...compared to the designer dress they copied at 5000 a good deal. You just need some assistance in measuring your body and a lot of time. It took them 3 months to send it to us, but I had ordered it 5 months in advance, just…
  • I've been on citalopram in the past. As everybody reacts differently I did not really gain weight with it - at least not more than with just "depressive" eating :). It seems to be a popular choice of prescription. After about a year though I felt it did not really do the job anymore. I changed over to Bupropion, which I…
  • bump..doesn't anybody have one of those?
  • I don't know...healthy steamers, Lunch Steamers - Sundried Tomato Chicken Sodium 290 mg. That is a lot of salt?
  • I use them, they help me monitor my weight and are convenient. Good enough for me. Now start the bashing,please :).
  • I quit smoking two months ago. It definitely is not easier to try to get your eating habits in good order right after it - however, it has a huge benefit to "clean up your life" on all levels. I did not want to add more weight to my waistline and that is why I chose to look at my lifestyle and try to get my big butt off…
  • He might be of the old school, which believed that nothing under 20 to 30 minutes counts as workout. Yes, it is better to get your heart rate up for a longer time, but heck....I have given up talking to doctors. I was in my life overweight and normal weighting. Before I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, the answer I got…
  • If you seem to lack self control to eat only a half avocado get the 100 kcal packs of the Wholly Guacamole. They are very avocado-y (I know that's not a word, lol) and might satisfy your craving. That being said, sometimes its not all about the calories, as Avocado is really very healthy. I like it raw with a bit of pepper…
  • That is what I struggle with as well. Gave up smoking 2 months ago, and cutting now out the "bad stuff" feels like quitting smoking all over again *lol* I got moody, anxious, and generally hard being around. Probably not a smart idea to start a big change right after getting through with the non smoking, but I did not want…
  • Did you know that Twizzlers come now in Hershey's chocolate as well? It's still not healthy but cuts out the fat. If you have to indulge in real chocolate, maybe you can modify your taste slowly to the dark, high cocoa type of chocolate. Its higher in antioxidants and the rich taste makes it hard to down a whole huge box…
  • My husband does not let me go alone to the Walmarts in the area. After watching funny people in the middle of the night, men following me in close range when I look for fruit or vegetable or bend into the frozen meat freezers and trying to give my their phone numbers, and a recent shooting all make me feel like he is…
  • I love Zumba, but then I have generally problems to motivate myself with "normal" workout DVDs :).
  • I have eaten 2 days last week pizza and still lost a pound. Just did not eat half a large pizza but stuck to 2 pieces :).
  • They help me with portion control. For example, if I eat an Emerald 100 kcal Walnuts and Almond bag I know I ate 100 kcal. If I have a normal emerald bag of nuts, I tend to eat much more. Sweet 100 kcal packs might not be of high nutritional value, but if it helps you with fixing your sweet tooth, go for it. A bag of…
  • My husband does not believe in logging his food. He has proven by losing weight his way that he does not need it. Me, on the other side, I really do good when I see how many calories I actually ate up and how much I have left, and it influences what I eat or cook. I see no reason to "make him" sign up here with me. After…
  • I heard the first time of this diet when I was 12. I remember you could buy a special maple sirup for it in the drugstore. Well, I am 35 now...so it's nothing new really *lol* Never tried it, but I believe in changing my lifestyle, not just try to lose a few pounds fast. The only time I tried this approach in my 20s it…
  • lil I am also reading this book right now and yes books like it in their hardcover version can be a real workout for the arms when you enjoy to read in the bed.

  • I also have gotten a kindle fire for Christmas and am actually writing this on it right now :). I used to think ereaders are not for me but I found out I love the freedom to have 200 books with me at any time when I got my first ereader last Christmas at the time a Pandora novel.there are also many free books and libraries…
  • I like the eat this not that book and website.the book warns you about calories disasters also in restaurants. That do not publish the calories nonlinear, for example Chilis.
