Oh does this sound yummy! Thanks for posting!

A food scale was a must for me, as is measuring everything out. It's amazing how inaccurate many product labels are. If I buy a bag of chicken breasts that are supposed to weigh 4 lbs each, I weigh each one (always before cooking) I have found that it can range from 3.75 to 4.15 lbs (as an example). Campbells roadhouse…

I add my food and exercise immediately following what I do so I don't forget. You just have to look at how many calories you've eaten and subtract from your actual calories to eat a day - don't use the recalculated number. For me, I know my calorie amount in MFP includes my exercise calories, so no matter how much exercise…

IF I reach my sub-final goal, a cruise for hubby and myself. I bought a giant, platic Coke can bank and have been filling it with change every time I get any.

I think Josephs are the best anyway you eat them, but they are exellent for skillet pizza or pizza on the grill. Flatouts are my second fave and for smaller ones, I like LaTortilla Factory High Fiber Low Carb Smart & Delicious.

Is there anyway you can get up earlier? On work days, I do my best to get up at 4 am and out the door by 4:15 for a 45 minute run, then hop in a cool shower before heading to work. I live in PA and it's been a scorcher here, too. Went out at 8 am today and the sun beating on my back the entire time was a breaker for me -…

No to pills. I have tried a lot of them over the years and also done it the RIGHT way a number of times and the ONLY real thing is eating right & exercise. I did, however, become part of a networking team back in the early 90's - selling diet supplements and yes, they really worked. But quit taking=weight comes back. I…

Actually, used cars now ARE holding value so having a 72 month loan isn't as big a deal as it used to be. I did this on my last car with no money down when purchased (Jeep Compass). I traded it in after three years and made a $700 profit to put down on my new car. If you look at the prices of used cars, it's insane. You…

I seem to be the odd one out, but I cannot ever go without underwear - it feels gross to me. I also still have too much lower belly hanging from 5 hernia repairs a number of years ago that I HAVE to wear tighter undies when I run so that I'm not in pain. I even wear them under my Under Armour compression shorts.

5'1.5"; currently 160 or 161 and just bought a pair of size 8 (stretch slim fit jeans); I'ma pretty solid 10 but the only jeans I buy for years have some stretch in them (mostly 1%). My favorites are my OLD Old Navy and GAP jeans from the 2007 era that I can fit into again, except the flares - got rid of those!

Incredible job!! Good for you!!!

Max & Erma's & Smokey Bones are my nominations

I would be afraid to drink an energy drink before I workout - they make me too hyper.

Hi! I'm pretty new to running also but instantly addicted! I found right away that socks were really important, then I was getting hip pain so I invested in my brooks glycerin 9's for a whopping $119.99 on sale. I've had them two weeks and it is the best investment I've made next to my Polar FT4 HRM. I went from doing 3…

Yeah for you!!! It is definitely a great feeling!!

When I started running, I got blisters on the balls of my feet. I bought good socks and haven't any problems since then. Hope you heal quickly!

Congratulation - you look amazing!

Congratulations - you look absolutely fantastic!!!

Hi. I started getting hip pain in my lower right hip after I started zumba classes and running. I went to the doctor and found out I had bursitis. There are exercises he gave me to do and basically told me to cut out what caused the most pain until it subsided, so I still did zumba, but not all the squat moves and side…

diet coke or coke zero, if out at a bar I'll get MgD64 if they have it. I just tried pomegranite vodka and tonic water for 64 cals/oz for the vodka and it was wonderful!

To satisfy my milk chocolate cravings: I buy a bag of plain m&m's and allow myself 5 at a time, with 20 being my total limit (I did that today) for the day. Other times I will have piece or two of Dove promises.

Great job and you do indeed look so much younger! WTG!!

I'm north of Pittsburgh, PA, and I've spent the last 22 years working at a company who develops/maintains a documentation software product we sell to the nuclear industry and is used in the control rooms at the plants. I do the testing, releases, and am the customer support person. Our company also does engineering…

The alcohol.... I quit smoking in May 2009, quit drinking July 2010 and just started going out again once a week. Hubby has worked with me to go to bars that sell MGD64 or Mich Ultra if I have to - not my preferred drinks, but for 64 cals or 95, I'll do it. I'm lucky that I don't want to eat when I drink so that pretty…

I added another category called "Misc Drinks (Not Water)". I put everything liquid there EXCEPT for actual water or flavored water.

I hate egg yolk so I throw them away, or once in a while will make my husband an omelet.

I've had my FT4 almost seven months, use it 99.9% of the time at least once a day. I rinse it and hang dry every time I use it . I wash it in a lingerie bag in the washing machine once or twice a week. Last week it started losing my heart rate or not getting my heart rate - and it happened three times. I went online and…

My favorite is Edy's slow churned, no sugar. But, I wanted something with less calories that I could eat with my cut up peaches or cantaloupe and found Breyers vanilla, no sugar added for only 160 calories a cup! I had some today with cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Vanilla cream donuts from our local grocery store, Giant Eagle - or their buttercream icikng! Actually, any bakery's white icing that they put in donuts. The grocery store would put an inch of icing between two 4" chocolate chip cookies (the thick chewy ones with milk chocolate chips), and then put some inch high icing…

I use the spicy black bean burger recipe from skinnytaste but I don't use the chipolte sauce.
