This is what we do for chicken wings: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=616977618376817&set=a.287480197993229.67740.282449018496347&type=1&theater

<<<<Got to goal on 1400 to 1500 a day. I am 5 food 3.5 and 45 years old. 1200 per day made me miserable. The hardest part about eating more for me was wrapping my head around it. After I did, BAM weight started dropping off again.

Wire brushes for grills are inexpensive. You light the fire on your grill and then wait until you are getting ready to put the food on and scrape the brush across the aluminum wires or bars on the grill, try to make sure to do it in one direction as going back and forth can leave ash on the grill and in your food. The…

All words in moderation are okay.....THERE ARE NO BAD WORDS! :happy:

Listen to your nutritionist. Good luck:flowerforyou:

You are under the misconception that I do not relax and enjoy life. I do not count calories, I eat a healthy nutrient rich diet.....and pretty much what I want when I want. The thing is, I have learned more about me, what I can and can not eat that will 1. not give me pain and 2. I am not able to moderate. To suggest I…

AAHHH, proving my point. This is bullying, plain and simple.

The title of this thread states EVERYTHING in moderation. It does not specifically say all Food in moderation, it says everything. And there are many foods we not need in order to live. I think there are many of us that can do just fine with out them. I have not eaten an oreo cookie in 4 years. Well well, look at me,…

LOL, this happened to a friend of mines baby because he only liked the orange vegetables. She rushed him to the doctor and he laughed and promised it was not a problem. I really did not notice it until she pointed it out, he just looked a little tanned to me. Spray tans are expensive. I would not stop eating those foods…

SMH Now another person new to the forums is going to run to the market and stock up on cookies, icecream, soda and chips, all because they were told they could and SHOULD eat them in moderation. 2 months from now they are going to be just as frustrated as they were the day they started MFP. Some people have to learn new…

It was not easy, it took some time for me. I started out by giving up alcohol in 2007. Its amazing how much weight you can put on by drinking martinis a couple times a week then making bad food choices due to the alcohol. Then 9 months after that, I gave up diet soda and replaced it with water. I was a vegetarian and…

It would be fine to take the same class 2 days in a row. Just make sure you do get a rest day one day per week. I used to take those classes 4 days a week.

I do not eat at McDonalds. And I pay the man that services my car quite handsomely, and yes, I have tipped him before.. As I do the people that clean my room in a hotel, park my car, and many other situations in which they are providing me with a service in which I do not want to do. I even tip my driver, maid and bellman…

This, very much this! I did not shop for it, clean it, put it away, bring it back out, prepare it, wash up after preparing it, clear the table and put everything back away. I am happy to pay someone to do that for me. I eat at the same establishments most of the time. I know what happens to peoples food that do not tip.…

Have you added anything new to your diet? I have an auto immune disease and get inflammation from eating processed and refined foods. I cut them out and my pain levels lowered by 80%. Another thing it could be is, when is the last time you got new shoes? Good shoes make all the difference in the world.

Please note the word "not" in my sentence. I did not say anything about an amount.

Not tipping is low class....Period.

<<<<<I eat a half cup of 2% or full fat cottage cheese every day. I love it and do not feel it is bad for me. It is delicious and helps me feel fuller longer as it has a good amount of fat and protein.

Haha, this converstation always reminds me of what a friend said at a party a few years ago while discussing this same subject. He says: Fake boobs? All I know is if they are in my hands, they are real to me...:laugh: As far as my opinion, I really do not give a crap what someone else does. But I will say this, if they are…

Hi there. I just wanted to tell you to not take the remarks to this post personal. Its going to get ugly.

<<<<19% body fat on this 45 year old woman would disagree with this statement. Besides its just silly. Please take the free nutrition class at https://www.coursera.org/

I got rid of my by running and pilates Lean protein and low gi carbs such as quinoa and sweet potato.

This. Try using almond milk instead. I made the switch when I did more research on soy because I have thyroid issues. I was also a vegetarian and made the switch from processed fake meat products to organic meats because it is actually better for the body. Someone in my life, who did not believe me, is a hard core vegan…

Ecigs are amazing! I smoked for 27 years and the only way I could quit successfully was with the ecig. I would rather "look like a douche" than die of emphysema! One thing that I do want to say is that it takes a few days to get used to only having the nicotine in an ecig since there are dozens of extra additives in cigs…

I will say that I really do not lose weight unless I am exercising. I swear I can eat 1200 calories, not exercise and not lose but I can go for a run, eat what ever I want and lose. Weird, and no, I do not think I am a snowflake. Give an hour of cardio a chance and see if it helps. And I know you are a type 1 diabetic, how…

Getting your run in becomes an obsession and a priority, so it is easy to do once you get that runners high. For most of us, getting our run in is not a chore but a delight.

What ever you do, DO NOT GO TO MICHIGAN, that state sucks. The Carolinas are wonderful. But in August they are miserable, unless you go to Asheville which is brilliant! There is a drum circle in the middle of town on Friday nights plus lots of activities that go on in and around the area. There are lots of vegan places to…

Yes, in Jamaica. The only people that were nude were Europeans (mostly German) that were about 150 lbs over weight. PS: I was not nude but curious.

New York City is EXPENSIVE, I am talking London expensive but you can stay outside of the city and take the subway or bus into town. At your age, you would love it but I do want to stress again how expensive it can be, especially for 10 to 12 days. Atlanta may also be worth checking into. It is nice sized city but way…

For sure NOT Florida in August, too darn hot and humid. New York or New England is nice in August, or if you can bare the plane ride, take the train from Washington down through California wine country. North California is brilliant too. What exactly are you looking to do here? Do you want to be on beach? On a mountain or…
