Go for straight up rolls--salmon and avocado....tuna...yellowtail. AVOID ALL SPICY TUNA. The SPICY TUNA part INSIDE the roll contains mayo even if no sauce on top. I eat a lot of sushi. Just avoid the "mixed" stuff--go for straight up rice, fish and veggies:)

That sounds yummy. Yesterday I heated a multigrain flatbread and used weight watchers cream cheese with thin sliced roma tomato and red onion. Also excellent!

Think I figured out what I am going to do. I will opt for diet coke mixes. Rum and diet coke seems to be between 65 and 78 cals depending on the rum used and my FAVORITE Disarrono is 110 cals. So maybe a rum and coke and an amaretto and diet coke. :) Thanks for the help all.

247 size 16. My ideal at the moment is to be 200 and a size 12 or so.

You need to eat your calories. Especially if working out. You have to at least eat up to your cal goal and if hungry--eat back some of the exercise calories. If you do not give your body proper fuel, your loss will stall out.

Definitely new clothes and I am thinking a pinup photoshoot:)

Yep. This. It does not matter how late you eat food. Not from the standpoint of nutrition and losing weight. NOW, there are some doctors who will say some gastro issues are exacerbated by eating before bed (laying down with food in the stomach, pushing into the esophagus, etc) but here's a clue; If you eat late, and you…

My current goal is like 1530 I believe. Some days I eat it, some days I don't. When I exercise some days I have 2530 or more I could eat. On those days I sometimes eat back some exercise cals and some days I do not. I think the most exercise cals I have ever eaten back is like 300 after a 1000 cal workout. My 1530 is set…

Well, if the gym daycare is properly set up, it will have individual play centers where only so many children can play at a time. So it won't be like there are 100 toys on the floor and no one knows who was playing with them. If only 3 children at a time can play in the block center at a time, and your child was in the…

I am laughing at those saying the daycare worker is being paid to pick up toys. LOL. Would you expect your child's preschool teacher to pick up his toys? At 3, a child should be in the habit of and have a parent/adult reminding them to clean up what they have played with. That is a very important part of the learning…

Lots of people can offer up anecdotal evidence to things, but I always have to take that with a grain of salt. There are people who smoke who do not get cancer, but many smokers do--that does not mean that smoking DOESN'T cause cancer, it means that it doesn't cause cancer in ALL users. There are heroin addicts who have…

I have not eaten bacon in years. I do not miss it now. IN fact, the other night I made spinach pie for dinner and made bacon for the hubby and kids who love it--and the smell made me want to vomit. It really is nasty "meat"

QUESTION: WIll all updates be done w/in this thread? Will there be update threads? How ill we know? My update: Started the challenge one week ago and I am down 5.6 pounds since the challenge started. Woot woot.

You need to eat more. No way around it. You are going by an old mindset about losing weight and it just does not work. You are setting yourself up to fail. 1200 cal is really too few calories for a thin but active WOMAN let alone a man who works out. I am female, mildly active ...my target calories are set at almost 1600…

I do steam my veggies often I just really am craving that crispy, oven roasted taste....

My highest weight ever was 335 plus (probably closer to 350). My latest weigh-in...254.8 (today) Feel free to send me a friend request. :)

I have to agree here. I had already lost a great deal when coming to MFP and then started MFP at 280. I am currently at 254.8 and my Vday goal is 240, which is a bit OVER the two pound per week goal. If I lose more than that--then that is great and meant to be, BUT I want my goals to be attainable so I do not fall of the…

My official weigh in: Start at MFP: 280 Today: 254.8 Goal by Vday: 240

Bump--so I have that crepe recipe

A lot of your post hit home for me. When I was a teenager I lost 90 pound sone summer and competed in the local pageant at the fair. I lost a lot and was right at 180 when I competed. At 5'10" that is not BIG. However, I still thought I was fat and HUGE because there were so many smaller girls out there. When I look back…

I would like in. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and post my start weight then.

I LOVE the Jergens. LOVE it. I am naturally very pasty. Born a redhead now a strawberry blonde as I get older. The Jergens Natural Tannging lotion has been SOOO good for my skin. I have psoriasis on my arms and it would get really red and scaly and painful. I used to use prescription cream that cost close to 900 dollars a…

I am right there with you. I am TOTALLY FORCING myself to go to the gym tonight--even if I only do 30 minutes of cardio. Keep in mind that once you get going you WILL feel better. Getting started is the hard part. Don't let a fall back stop you!
