I love this stuff (and the price is right) but I can't stop with 1/4 cup. I keep going back for another handful and another handful. :grumble:

I'm back ! Last month was a bust so I'm looking forward to March and SPRING !!!! March 1 - 181.6 Good luck everyone !!!! :happy:

Go to Outback's website. They have a great tool for nutritional value. You can click the whole meal, without butter, without seasoning, etc. I use their nutritional values instead of MFP's database. I love their steamed green beans, without butter of course. I don't remember for sure but 300 calories sounds about right, no…

Can't wait to see other people's comments. I was doing the C25K program but 7 weeks into it, my knees started killing me. This was back in November. I have done everything - doctor, got fitted for running shoes, stretch exercises, strength exercises for quads, calfs, hamstrings, started taking glucosamine and even did no…

Very interesting. Thank you so much for posting.

When I first started doing Level 1, about 3 months ago, I would burn around 220 calories but now it's only about 120. This is according to my heart rate monitor. Perfect example of the better in shape you get, the harder or longer you have to work out. :grumble:

:sad: :sad: :sad: Very bad month for me. Had lost 3.2 by Valentines Day but went off track after that and put it back on and then some. Feb 1 - 181.4 Feb 28 - 181.6 I've regrouped, refocused and recommitted and had a heart to heart talk with myself yesterday after a crazy eat-fest weekend at the beach. You'd have thought…

Hi everyone, Yesterday was a very bummer kinda day for me. Found out that the employee contribution to our health insurance is going up $100 a month and our employer is no longer contributing to our 401K plan. I know $100 isn't that much money and I'm thankful I have a job that provides health insurance but still, it makes…

My doctor told me a couple years ago that eggs were good for me. Basically, that my cholesterol numbers have always been fine so a few eggs a week would not hurt me and the protein is great to aid in weigh loss. Like anything else, moderation is the key. I love scambling some red pepper and onions with my eggs and topping…

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. :heart: You all are doing so great. There are some great losses so far this month, both on the scale and measurements. I didn't have a big loss this week, but hey, a loss is a loss. Feb 1 - 181.6 Feb 7 - 179.0 Feb 14 - 178.4 Feb 21 - Feb 28 - 5lb goal - 176.6 Glad to be out of the 180's.

YUMMY!!!! Thank you so much for this idea. I bake chicken all the time and kinda get bored with the same old seasonings. I will definitely try this over the weekend. :bigsmile:

I'm with you on the crunchy snacks. I miss them soooo much. :sad: I could eat the whole bag in one sitting. Embarrassing to admit but hey, that's what got me to MFP in the first place. Candy, cakes, pastries and things like that are no problem to do without but I'd so love to sit down with bag of Doritos right now. Guess…

Jif Creamy. It does have a lot of calories but it really stays with me a while. Love putting it on apple slices or open-face PB and banana sandwich.

We R Who We R - Ke$ha Really gets me pumped up and add a few more minutes to my workout.

This is what I eat too so I'm interested in reading what everyone thinks.

Happy Monday everyone. Feb 1 - 181.6 Feb 7 - 179.0 Feb 14 - Feb 21 - Feb 28 - 5lb goal - 176.6 Lost 2.6 this week so I'm thrilled. After taking 3 weeks off from exercise due to knee pain, I started adding back some exercise last week so that helped. By the way, did pilates for the first time yesterday and HATED it! Too…

I agree Terri. My weigh-in day used to be Friday so I tended to over indulge on the weekends telling myself I had the rest of the week to make up for it. Didn't take long for that to effect my weight loss. Changed it to Monday and do so much better. Knowing I have to step on that scale Monday morning keeps me on track…

TV crush is Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs. And he is an awesome singer. All time movie star crush is Robert Pattinson. As if you couldn't tell by my ticker. :heart:

I usually order grilled chicken fajitas and tell them to grill them dry (no oil). Some restaurants bring them out and they are swimming in oil. And definitely tell the waitress not to bring chips and salsa to the table. I can't resist them if they are sitting in front of me. :blushing:

I've never thought of using Ms. Dash on my baked potato. Can't wait to try this!

I love it when people post success pics! They are so inspirational. You look awesome - thanks for sharing. :flowerforyou:

I'm in !! I've made this challenge 4 of the past 5 months. It's wonderful for keeping me on track. Feb 1 - 181.4 Good luck everyone. Remember, spring will be here before we know it so we won't be able to hide behind our coats and sweaters much longer. :wink:

277.1 + 5.8 = 282.9

You definitely should be proud of yourself. Great work and comittment. :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP. This site and my pals have been wonderful in helping me get healthy and fit. Hope it will do the same for you. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

Glad you're here. :smile: This site has been wonderful for me and has been the key in my losing almost 40 lbs since August. You'll find plenty of support, motivation and tips here. Happy day 1 and good luck.

My boyfriend is very good at supporting me as far as food goes. He eats whatever I cook and doesn't fuss when I try new, healthier recipes and they are terrible. :blushing: He doesn't mind not having junk food in the house, as long as he has chocolate chip cookes, which thankfully, are not a temptation for me. He doesn't…

I am sooooo sorry about your tooth. To me, a toothache is one of the worst pains I've ever had. God bless ya and I hope you get that tooth taken care of soon and get to feeling better. Congrats on such a good weight loss this month though. What a way to start out the new year - out of the 200's. :flowerforyou:

Hi everyone. Boy, January has been a struggle for me! It was harder for me to get my focus back after the holidays than I thought. Not being able to exercise (knee problems) is killing me. I know you can lose weight without exercising but I'm the type of person that really needs to exercise to stay focused on the eating.…

I make chicken tacos like this about once a week. Top with lettuce, tomatoes and salsa. Sometimes I don't even use the shells. Just take a big piece of lettuce and wrap the mixture in it. Bake some zuchini & yellow squash with a little taco seasoning on them as a side. One of my favorite meals. :bigsmile:
