There ideas sound great! I read the post and had no idea :P

That sounds really good...it makes sense thank you! I wouldn't have know what to change the settings to even if I wanted to :P

I'm not necessarily looking for a high protein diet...I was just thinking that it would make more sense I guess to eat less carbs and more protein. Thank you all for your response :D

Just curious...how did you determine that ratio for yourself?

Aww this souns like a great challenge...I'm so sorry I missed it :( To all the contestants I wish you the best. I will continue to work at it myself...if anyone else starts something like this let me know please!...Best of luck to all :)

I do the same thing but I use butter instead of margarine :)

spaghetti squash? I've never head of that but it sounds interesting :)

This sounds like a great alternative to butter and/or sour cream. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the info! I'll check this one out too :)

Got it...thank you! I'll read and hopefully I can do this! I'm not a runner for sure :P

So how do you start? Is there a particular plan to follow?

Dumb question :P but what is this program exactly??

Cottage cheese and ham tostadas!! I love them :P Tostada 1 slice of ham cottage cheese lettuce leaf tomato slices onion slices and sometimes a couple of slices of jalapeños!

My brother-in-law told me about it! We did a family weight loss challenge last June, his weight was just falling off and by the end of August he had beat us all!! I asked him what he was doing and he showed me the MFP app on his cell. I went to the website & been in love with it ever since!!

Day one: I finally made it to the gym after almost two weeks! It was packed & I couldn't use 'my' machine from the start...but at least I got some exercise in!! My Weekly Goal: 6000 calories Wed: 368 calories burned (22min walk, 20min elliptical) Thur:calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they…

I'm in!! I finally can get back to the gym tonight so I think I can really do it this time (I've said this in the past :P). Thank you for posting these challenges, they truly are an inspiration :) My personal goal for this week is 6000!

Wow really...I've been wanting to do Yoga but didn't have the money to buy any videos!! Thanks for sharing the info :)

I'm up too...and also thinking of something to eat :P I only had 39 cals left so I couldn't really have much but I really, really wanted something. So.....I ate 1/2 of a cinnamon graham cracker (33 cals) with a cup of decaffeinated honey & lemon green tea and I have to say it totally hit the spot!! The crackers were sweet…

I ate 2 packets (8) of mni cholocate donuts with my morning coffee every day!! Also, my husband is an excellent cook and I'm addicted to his food instead of being addicted to the gym like he is :P

You know that bothers me too but in my case it's the opposite. They say 'oh just have one', 'you can treat yourself to more than one', 'it's not that bad, go ahead, come on, go ahead' and my worst one yet, 'you're obsessed with counting calories..just eat!' I mean I don't say anything to them! But I choose to be the bigger…

Great tips...thank you so much! I had heard all of these things before but I never practiced them so it's a great reminder :D

Day 2...not as great as yesterday but I still managed to get to the gym (that in its self is a gain). Weekly Goal: 10000 calories Wed: 1,138 calories burned (55 mins elliptical and 45 mins shoveling snow) Thur: 600 calories burned (50 mins elliptical) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how…

I'm so excited to post today!! It's a great start to this new week :D Weekly Goal: 10000 calories Wed: 1,138 calories burned (55 mins elliptical and 45 mins shoveling snow) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how they were burned) Sun: calories…

Mark asked to post daily...so give it a shot :)

Well here I go..trying it once again!! I will post daily this time hopefully that will motivate me more :D

Welcome!! I'm 4 hours away from Seattle so I can't really tell you about places to go :wink: ...but I'm happy to find another person in my 'time zone' :laugh:

Day 1 & 2...I'm doing better than last week :) Haven't hit a 1000 number yet but I will for sure one of these days!! I'm so excited for this challenge :D Weekly Goal: 10000 calories Wed: 530 calories burned (40 minutes elliptical trainer) Thur: 800 calories burned (60 minutes elliptical trainer) Fri: calories burned (how…

Interesting article! I first learned this years ago when my husband got a Bowflex, the exercise and diet program recommend this as well. (You'd think that having a Bowflex at home would help me to not be overweight :P )

Ahh thank you for kind words of encouragement!!! (we really are going to 'quote' the page to the end :P )

Well put..I agree with you on this one. We are all different and do what we think works best for our own body. I didn't make it to the gym today so I guess this was my rest day :) New goal to meet starting tomorrow and I plan to go at it full speed ahead! Thank you again for the challenge!!
