  • buffalogal.com is where I buy ground bison in bulk. I wait until they have a special and then it is less expensive than the one local store that sells it.
  • I tried it and did not like it - and it was alot of work. Another tip from Hungry Girl that is easy - broccoli slaw. I hate broccoli, but when you soften the slaw up in a fry pan with a little bit of water, you can put whatever toppings on that you can pasta. I have done light alfredo sauce, and marinara. Both were good,…
  • Please try cooking without additional fat first. I stand over it, stirring constantly, and have no problem with it being dry. It is so much better for you, and tastes as good (I think it is actually better) The only drawback is the price. I have to get mine online, since I have not found a local store.
  • saving for later - lots of good recommendations!
  • Can't go wrong with a nice crispy apple, good fiber, dense so it is filling, not too sweet that you need more than you should, crunchy so it feels more satisfying. Add some peanut butter for protein to make it even better. My second fav is frozen grapes, but gotta watch the amount.
  • I too look forward to see what Banks has to say - but until then... I also panicked when I added sugar to my diary. I was tracking sodium, but never get even close to that limit, so I switched to tracking sugar. After the inital shock, I researched more about a more reasonable goal for sugar. Unless you have a medical…
  • Is there anyway to add this to the "Again and "Again" post under "General Diet"? I think this is the best one on this topic yet. Even though I have read the "questioning eating exercise calories" many times, I still sometimes find myself saying it's OK to not eat all of them. Today's post reminds me again, so clearly, why…
  • If you know it will only take 8 minutes until you feel awake, you need to find something to just get you out of bed. Put alarm on other side of room, or in adjoining room so you have to get up....Get hubby to kick you out...do stretches either in bed or right out of bed to get your blood moving. In 8 minutes you will be…
  • Amazing job! Thank you for sharing - it helps all of us keep going.
  • Go to My Home, Check In, Edit previous entries, you can enter as far back as you like. You will still show as joined in July however. Welcome to MFP!!
  • I use "Greens" supplements. Not as good as the real thing, I know, but better than nothing. Because nothing will get me to eat veggies.
  • I have the same obsession, and have found two I am really happy with. Cabot 50% Reduced Fat Chedder, and Jarlsberg Lite Reduced Fat Swiss.
  • Sounds like you know how to start your workout. After your workout, hit the top right botton to stop the counts. You can now hit the top left button to see your totals for this workout only. Keep hitting the top left button to see all your details. Then you need to hold down the bottom right button for a second or two (it…
  • If you make your food and exercise logs public, you might get some more targeted answers.
  • The info is also in his new book "The Body Fat Solution" - I got it from my library.
  • Does your library have any for you to try? That is what I have been doing, keeps it interesting. One I did buy for myself was Core Rhythms.
  • I have recently read every fitness book from my library, and almost every one says at least one day of rest, some insist on two days. That was true for both cardio and strength training.

  • Mission Plus! Carb Balance tortillas (I get the original in soft taco size) are amazing - you will never taste the difference. I believe they have 7g Net Carbs. Can use them as is (soft) or cut up into triangles, spray with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, and bake for a few minutes to make chips for a crispy taco salad.
  • Welcome, we are glad you found us. And lucky you, to be dieting for the first time and doing it the right way from the beginning. Although most of us refer to this as a lifestyle, not a "diet". Lots of good advice is listed in the top three postings under the General Diet and Weight Loss secion. Some very smart people…
  • Wide stance squats (toes slightly pointed outward) and sideways lunges (feet facing forward). Be sure not to extend your knees farther than your toes.

  • I have the Pro-Form Precision Trainer XT with chest strap (I believe Reebok has the same model). I have not had it very long, so I cannot vouch for it over the long haul, but I am happy with it so far. I got it for $25, so even if it only helps for a few months, I will be satisfied. I should note that I only work out at…
  • Listen to everyone else - they are correct! The only thing I have to add is that your body will not react today in 2009 the same way it did in 2001 (unfortunately!) Aging and any "failed" diets between then and now will have altered your metabolism. Especially if those previous attempts to lose caused you to lose muscle.
  • How do you calculate your exercise calories burned? I was using the MFP numbers and/or my treadmill numbers, which were too high for me, so as I ate my exercise calories, I was eating too many back. After I started using a HRM, I started losing again.
