That's what I call one healthy meal - smooth, satisfying, and fat free. MMM--MMMM-MMMM - yummy!

My big wake up call (and heartbreak) was Chick Fil-A chicken strips (the four count meal). Broke my poor, addicted heart - and my food budget for the day. Hope you logged your painting activities - you may not be as over as you think. Tomorrow is a brand new day. :-)

I believe it's possible, even without knowing when your summer season starts. Please don't focus exclusively on weight - I have a number of MFP friends who are losing inches faster than they are losing pounds. I am only just learning how to make the best use of the site myself, but at the good advice from people on the…

Just keeping tabs with everybody - I consulted the doc and found that I cannot do the shred (bad knees) but he's thrilled I'm doing *something.* I went through a number of other fitness games for the Wii I was interested in, and ended up with "Walk it Out", "Just Dance" and "Gold's Gym Dance Workout" which has a fabulous…

This usually works for me, and I hope it does for you. Tell yourself you are GLAD you had this bad day, because now it's over. You got it out of the way. It's behind you and it can never come back. Reset after a good night's sleep. Every day is brand new, with no mistakes in it. One day cannot drag you down - let it pass.…

Thanks! That's extremely helpful!

Am I reading correctly that this product contains sucralose? If so, isn't that Splenda? I'm just learning,so please don't flame me.

It depends on what I'm needing the sweetener for. When I bake, I use either molasses, honey, or raw sugar. I bake my own bread, so that's usually only a couple of tablespoons. When I'm adding sweetener to my coffee, I use Stevia that I get from Puritan's Pride (ingredients are stevia and fiber - nothing else, unlike some…

Thank you! Watching the post and gearing up... :smile:

You've done remarkably well at reinventing yourself - and you're drop-dead gorgeous to boot. Well done!

I'm no expert on anything, but I remember back in the day, my friends and I toned our bellies without realizing we were doing it by going out dancing 3 nights a week. I know you've just had babies, and I'm not suggesting you hit the clubs, but there are several great 'dance" workouts that people seem to enjoy a lot. You…

I could definitely benefit from a challenge! I'm doing okay with my food, but not so much with my exercise. Also, I tend to get caught in a simple carbohydrate (sugar) cycle. I've reached one mini-goal, but that progress is easily lost if I don't increase the burn and cut out the sweets. I'd love to be down 10 or more…

Finished my masters, and packed on the pounds earning it. I'm a stress eater, and got married the day before my final assignments were due (I turned them in early). So I had a wedding and honeymoon to plan during my capstone class. When we got back from our honeymoon, I was fortunate enough to find a full-time job (though…

Oh, thank you! I love this idea for work. I've started a new habit at home that is really working for me because it's kind of like a perpetual motion machine. Whenever I go to the bathroom, I pass the water dispenser. I drink 4 oz. of water before going into the tiny room. It guarantees that I'll have to go again, which…

I love the suggestions. I'm going to change how I've been going along. I'll weigh once a week and measure once a month, and I absolutely love the idea of taking a pic once a month wearing the same clothes. Thanks so much! .... I love this site.... :heart:

I absolutely understand the "personal decision" thing, but when we signed up for a membership here, we agreed to abide by the site's rules. I do believe we should do that. Automatic banning wasn't the suggested or intended outcome, the way I followed the original post. Just a heads-up. I read a study on how a show just…

I think maybe you don't have to go to quite those extremes to find people in starvation mode. I know a clinically obese person who was put on Optifast and drank nutrition in the form of a packet mixed with water and ice. Total calorie intake daily: 550 calories. This person weighed in the range of 480-500 pounds. My friend…

I agree with Skeemer. Stay away from processed food, which includes packaged meals, jar sauces, macaroni and cheese mixes, etc. I buy single ingredients and make my own now, which doesn't help you in your dorm one bit. But read each label - it will shock you how much sugar is in almost everything you buy, including lunch…

If I could, may I ask a related question? I was at a convention all last week, which required me to sprint through two airports and walk more than I usually do in order to get to the various sessions. I tracked everything in a way I believe is accurate, including the increased activity and every single thing I ate. I…

I have that kind of reaction also - I think some people call it "high color" and it just means that the rush of blood that happens when your heart rate is accelerated is easier to see through your skin than other people experience. You probably have a "hot" metabolism, sleep with few covers, and need to drink more water…

I like my Wii Fit Plus - I think for toning, Yoga is a great activity and, even though it's hard to watch the screen and hold the pose at the same time, it's the only "trainer" I can afford right now. For cardio, the Hubs and I love playing tennis in the Wii Sports game. We adore Tiger Woods PGA 12 also. We played that for…

1. I chose to have my daughters at home rather than in the hospital, which I'll never regret. 2. I once ran headlong into the King of Sweden as I was leaving work because I was late for our last choir practice before we sang for... the King of Sweden. (Incidentally, I learned later that I had no fewer than 20 sharpshooters…

Welcome aboard! I've only been here 25 days but I've really grown to appreciate this site. My name is Schelly and you're welcome to add me as a friend if you like. I log in every day at least 3 times a day, and do my best to be positive and supportive to all my MFP friends. :flowerforyou:

Excellent post. :bigsmile:

I changed my nickname because some people wouldn't add me as their friend. My old nickname was VamPyro and it had nothing to do with the undead or children of the night or anything like that. The first time I worked a professional fireworks display, it ended up that I had to work two back to back. Setup takes a day, the…

I am NOT believing this! Their headquarters is in the city where I live. I wonder if they're hiring. :-)
