I am an Indian and we eat rice like once a day atleast, but since its so rich in starch and carbs I am limiting it to once a meal in a week :)

naah cause it really depends how you cook and what all you add :)

Thanks for sharing pal :)

Thanks a lot :)

Thanks so much !!! I am feeling better and I am thinking of checking my dose and also taking it easy for a few weeks :) Thanks a ton for getting back !

This is lovely and it works every time. I challenged my husband and he is showing results ... better than me. He is very laid back but now he is all up and running just to beat me ;) :explode:

How about soaking dried figs and then eating them in the morning first thing - 2 would do the magic !

Welcome Girl ! You know you have already won half the battle by talking this decision and the day you start loosing you will start getting closer to your goals. Don't over expect from your body, it took 24 years to reach at 210 give it atleast a year to getting used to 160 ~ 170 :) Moreover many many people like me are all…

This might help you ..... go on Google and look for Lizzie Miller. You would see the picture they are talking about :)

Loved it !:drinker: Was feeling low as I am not loosing any more of my extra weight but with lots of encouragement from fellow MFPians ;) and your super duper notes I am feeling much better :) LOL PIG !!! Hmmmmm

Thanks again - but I am a indian - means I mostly rely on eating fresh home cooked vegetarian meals - infact I cannot eat any stuff outside as I am picky !

Well thanks for your efforts in hearing my issues. I weight 152 now and was 172 5 months back. I am a mother to a 2.4 yrs old and am on the run always. I do all my house chores by myself ..... I am a vegetarian and I take milk once a day. I do not take alcohol or smoke. I do cardio 50 mins 4 times a week and stretching and…

actually I was doing it untill I hit this bump in loosing - now I am not eating all those calories that I burn at GYM like 400-550 ..... so according to you guys I should be eating those and wait for a while to see the weight to loose again :) I am happy to know I can eat - but what if I gain again ?

Really ?

I would also suggest you to test your scale by keeping something labeled ( Like a Milk Can ) and then see how much it shows .... that would tell you the accuracy of the scale you have ...... Cheers! Shalini

Hey there ! I watch for CALORIES SUGAR CARBS

I think sugar from fruits and milk should not bother us so much as should added sugars and other processed forms should like Chocolates / Yogurts/ cakes and cookies !

hey worry not ! I asked one of the chefs in the bakery at Safeway - they say its around 420 Cals .... I know thats not a very good count too but then remember you treated yourself ( Thats not supposed to be a 100 Cal penny size muffin ) Be happy Girl ! Once in a while we all need this !!!! Also wanted to add that these…

Girl you need to take up this challenge and just remind yourself everyday about it :) Good Luck you can do it !

I keep the half for later - for example - if I have to drink a glass of juice then I would drink half now and rest later in the day :)

Thank you all guys ! I appreciate !!

I would totally agree with you. The only way to fight Body Fat is to loose weight overall and tone the body :)

Girl there is no substitute to hard work - so lets continue that sweat !

I swear even I am amazed by that Lady with the tail getting that far in a nation wide talent hunt. But it proves ........... anything can happen on such shows. :drinker: Anyways ! let them keep entertaining us ! Note : That reminds me .......... I have to catch up with CSI my all time fav show !

Hmmm Thanks to you all ............ I guess as suggested I shouldn't worry about sugar in fruits / wheat / milk ................huh ? :smile: Anyways thanks for your views !

Wow I just returned from Canada , went to Toronto and then went on road trip till Quebec City and back :) I ate the following and could maintain my weight :) 1. Pop Corns ( less fat ) 2. Mixed berry 100 calorie bars ( They are very good - would keep you happy for 2-3 hrs ) 3. Jasmine Tea ( Its not like Cola but its…

Well I eat calabash curry ( very quick and easy to make and goes well with rice ) its a very rich source of natural sodium and it gives about 8000 mg in a cup. So I make this once a week :) Let me know if this interests you I would love to share the cooking style.

You know what girls :happy: I was in the same boat untill last 2 months all my life but then someone made me understand the functionality of our lovely organ called STOMACH ! Its these two fundas :- 1. Stomach is like a baloon .... so it can stretch as much as we want. 2. It develops a pattern, so lets say now its used to…

Oops forgot to add here's what I am doing and I am doing fine as per my fitness instructor - whom I keep posted on my schedules I work out 3 times a week for 1.5 hrs a day in total In that 1.5 hrs of time --- I first stretch for 10 mins then I do strength / resistance for 30 mins and then 45 mins of non stop Cardio but…
