That is some sound advice. I am going to remember that. If I was full after eating my pizza and I still had calories left, I would be thinking of waiting and hour and maybe having a sweet treat!

I am SOOO with you. I would just like to down an entire cake right now...stupid periods! I have been asking myself all day..."Is it really worth it?" So far the answer has been no. I hope you can stay strong too!

I have a Paragard, and I believe the side effects I experience pale in comparison to the benefits. I do have a much heaver period than before, but it does not last longer. However, here are what I consider the best benefits: 1. Convenience - I never have to say "hold on, wait just one minute", nor do I have to remember a…

I can't believe you still have more weight to go...you look amazing!

Lol...sight...I think our whole system of measurement must be random and vague...

I think that if you are 5'8" and you weigh 140 or so, that is a good weight. If you still don't like the way you look, maybe it would be better to have your calories in a maintenance range and then exercise to tone the area that you don't like. I bet you look fabulous. I am 5'9" and I keep thinking of how I looked at the…

Every day is a new day...good luck sticking to your plan today. You can do it!

I didn't lose weight this week either. BUT, I did stick to my diet and I ate lots of healthy fruits and veggies. So, that means that this week, I maintained a healthy lifestyle, and isn't that what being on MFP is really about? Maybe next week the scale will be kinder, or maybe not. I am happy with what I am doing and am…

Your waist is what I noticed the biggest difference in too...Your progress is looking pretty hot!

You can get a mojito made without the sugar or with artificial sweetener. I actually like it without the sugar...the mint taste is great!

I also work in the restaurant industry, and I know that you can make safe food without using gloves, if the hygiene is correct. Gloves can be an optical illusion of food safety. They look like they are safer than bare hands, but gloves can (and do) touch everything hands do! I love eating at Taco Bell, but it is like crack…

It is hard to get a strenuous workout in with Wii Fit. I really think it is meant to get people up off the couch and moving, maybe for the first time. Its weight tracking tools I find to be very useful and accurate. I also like the feature where I can use the stepping game while watching tv. The rhythm sounds through the…

I am very lucky with my cycles and generally don't see more than the tiniest bit of PMS symptoms. I weigh myself everyday and as long as I am on a downward trend, I don't worry about being up a pound or two for a few days.

My Valentine is Domingo, the most wonderful man I have ever met! He is kind to me and to everyone he meets! He has a great sense of humor, and doesn't get angry with me when I am in a bad mood (lots). He never criticizes my appearance, and has always appreciated my body, whatever my size. The most amazing thing about him…

I have read a lot about Sensa on product review sites, and there is a major problem with their customer service. They offer a free trial in their ads and wind up charging for the free trial and usually another $90-$180 after that. They will do anything they can to avoid having a customer cancel their next shipment or…

I NEVER say "that is okay" when someone rams my ankles with the shopping cart! They can say sorry all they want but I am not saying it is okay...watch where you are going!!! That hurts!

Thanks...I think I got it now!

Okay ladies, you really inspired me with this real women in bikinis topic, so here I am in a bikini - no makeup and no retouches. This is the only true bikini I have ever owned, despite the fact I once weighed 125lbs (at 5' 10")!! I bought this a few years ago when illness caused me to become a temporary size 8. I weighed…

Food is awesome! That is what I love about being here...I can eat...my phone and my computer let me know when I have to stop!
-
Me too! You have to be careful when you click on Speedo pic links...you never know what you are going to get!

The great thing about MFP is that you don't have to change everything today! When I decided to change, I knew that giving up all my favorite foods, restricting my calories and starting an exercise plan all at the same time would make me fail. Instead, I decided to start with just one of those things (restricting calories)…

Chipotle serves as much naturally raised meat that they can get their hands on..in most places, all their meat is humanely raised. Panera also offers naturally raised chicken, and many of the larger health food grocery stores have prepared food sections. If you want humanely treated animal products, there are many options…

I work at a restaurant and see food all day. It really doesn't bother me that much, except for one thing...BACON! We cook fresh premium applewood smoked bacon everyday. Usually, there is a bit left over at the end of the night. I have to throw it away the second the restaurant closes, or I will eat it all. The urge is…

I get a 6 inch turkey on wheat, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, green pepper, and vinegar on top for some tangy goodness. I love this sandwich and eat it almost everyday. The ladies at Subway know I am watching my calories, and encourage me every time I go in!

Orville Redenbacher makes a line of microwave popcorn called Orville Redenbacher Natural. Some of the varieties contain just popcorn, oil, and salt. There is one that is a reduced fat version that only has 120 calories per serving. As long as the oils used are vegetable oils, this popcorn should be contain no animal…

Jello Mousse Temptations in chocolate indulgence is my chocolate treat when I am craving. I take small bites to savor every bit of the 60 calories in the cup. It fits well in a 1200 calorie a day diet.

Hello! I think it is awesome that you lost 23 pounds! You may not lose 30 more by the time your 40th rolls around, but it sure would be cool to see how many you CAN lose...you never know what might happen!

Welcome to all the other new people too!

I work at a wonderful fast casual restaurant that makes great burgers and fries! I haven't stopped eating there because I love it, but I have modified what I eat to fit into my calorie allowance. My weight fluctuates during the month too, but we women have to focus on the downward trend rather than the day to day scale…

I think the conventional wisdom is that you must gain weight during your pregnancy, but I do not think that has to be true in all cases. If you work closely with your healthcare professionals, you may be able to make your body healthier while nourishing that baby! I can't think of a better goal than to want to be healthier…
