I have to agree... My treadmill died and I bought an elliptical last year to replace it. I HATE it. But.... sometimes I'll hop on just to switch up my exercise routine. I was amazed at how much higher the calorie burn shows than what my HRM actually says. I'm sorry I spent so much money on it because I could have used that…

I got my recipe from the Trader Joe's sight - I substitute skim/fat free milk and use applesauce instead of oil. I get 7 in a batch and they're 114 cals each.

I am so glad you asked this! I have been so excited to tell someone about my new bra's (other than hubby - lol). A few weeks ago I bought my first Wacoal bra. Friggin expensive, but they are sooo comfortable and they fit like I've never had a bra fit (and I'm 45). I just bought two more at Macy's yesterday because none of…

Great message! Investing in a food scale was a BIG help for me! I also found that ALWAYS measuring my ingredients has saved me many calories and it's very interesting how the labels that say "About X number of servings" is 99.9% of the time NOT right. So I measure EVERYTHING I use in recipes even if it's the entire…

When my daughter was first old enough to eat pistachios, she would always call them "spit-ach-eos"... Her dad & I thought it was so cute & we'd laugh like crazy every time she said that we waited until she was about eight years old before telling her how you really say it.. she will be 13 in 22 days and harasses us all the…

That's fantastic! Keep up the great work!!

65 of me in the United States... they should have middle names as part of the search, too!

I finished day 4 of level 2 when I went into a "fibro lapse" so I haven't done it in about a week, but I am going to start all over again - hopefully on Saturday if I'm rested enough. The way you feel after those 27 minutes is incredible. I thought level 2 was MUCH easier and better than level 1, well after the first day…

It's not a personal story, but a man I work with was diagnosed with Diabetes about ten years ago. He went on the Atkins diet and has remained committed to it ever since. He lost 60 lbs, has kept it off and is not on any diabetic meds. He is 100% committed and does not cheat. EVER. My aunt did Atkins for about six months…

Have you tried making the triple chocolate chunk muffin recipe yet? They are fantastic! (especially with buttercream icing - if you want to make them 279 cals instead of 79!)

HI. I'm on board for cant wait to read your story, too!

Every few months I have a craving for chips - they're not my usual choice. Shopping at Walmart over the weekend, I found Spiced Sweet Potato Chips by World Table. OMG!!! I have to force myself to eat sweet potatoes but these things are excellent!! For 1 oz, about 16 chips, it's 160 cals, 150 sodium, 2 g fiber, 14 carbs,…

I was diagnosed with hormonal migraines and hormonal anxiety in 2004 - actually put me in the hospital for three days. Twice a month I would get migraines and feel like my heart would pound out of my chest. I take magnesium and calcium which has helped tremendously and when I feel the migraine, I take maxalt mlt. The stuff…

Looking for calorie tracking apps on my Droid and so very, very grateful that I found MFP!!! I didn't even realize there was a website at first!

Fantastic job - you look great!!! Congrats on all your hard worK!

It didn't bother my knees, but I found I definitely had to invest in a $50 bra for the jumping jacks and jump rope. The double jump rope stuff in level 2 does me in so I just do normal jump ropes like in level 1. I have a really bad right ankle - broken once, sprained 3 times and arthritis, but the cardio parts don't…

What got me was that my 2X were getting tight l and I had to buy 3X's and my first (and only pair) of size 18 jeans. I started MFP Jan 10 (but had already lost 7 lbs - I've actually lost 35 and my ticker is 28. I'm now wearing XL tops (not in Juniors yet, though). I just bought 3 new pair of jeans & they are 12's; it's…

YESSSS you can see a difference! Terrific work!!!

My ideal man used to be blonde, green-eyed,wear hi-tops, Levi's and have AT LEAST shoulder length hair. Neither my first hubby of almost 17 yrs was that nor is current hubby ... I always went out with guys who were "my height" - meaning they were 5'5" and skinny (I'm 5'1.5"). First hubby was 6', dark hair, new hubby is…

I only count water, flavored water and seltzer water in my water count. Anything else I put into a category I made called "Misc Drinks (anything OTHER than water).

When I need a fix of energy - I will drink 1/2 can of a Rockstar zero carb which has, I think, 10 cals per 8 oz.. I consider it a 'treat" and only do it once or twice a week. Some filling things I keep with me are always peanuts, almonds or cashews - I weigh out 1/2 servings and keep them in baggies so they're…

As others have said, their bread is a killer - anything except the Italian - watch the calories on it. Even though there are healthier choices, the sodium and cals go up, up, up. I was just on their site two days ago because I wanted to try the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken. It was NOT worth the cals!!! The only "Good" thing is…

From what I understand, you need to eat at least your BMR - not stay under your BMR. You want to be between your BMR and TDEE.

I'm a 38DD/DDD depending on the bra. I THOUGHT my Nike sports bra was "IT", but I recently purchased a Moving Comfort Maia (I think that's the spelling). It is INCREDIBLE! I was going to purchase it from their website, but found it for $40 on ebay brand new in my favorite color, black. It's now my favorite bra for…

I have a similar problem - I am lucky to go once - at most twice - a week. I'm always bloated and miserable and having pains. I've upped my fiber, taken over the counter pills but nothing helps. I see a doctor routinely for fibro so I will be discussing this with my doctor on my next visit in May. I've always been…

Great job!!!!

What a great thread! thanks for starting this and to everyone for their recipes!!! I can't wait til my next grocery shopping trip so I can make some of these!!

This makes me sad because just reading your first paragraph sounds so familiar - it could have been me writing it only two years ago. It IS abuse. Name calling is abuse. For whatever reason, he thinks it's OK to treat you the way he does and it has nothing to do with you. I went through counseling, police calls, etc. I am…
