Go for it!! If it fits in your cals, no problem! I usually eat frozen yogurt at the end of the day if I'm under my goal, but I occasionally eat ice cream instead. I prefer the frozen yogurt because of the lower fat content.

great job, girl!!

Check out Bolthouse Farms dressings. They even have ranch, and 2 T are only 45 calories. Tastes delicious!! I'm also a fan of their Raspberry Merlot Vinaigrette, and am wanting to try their mango vinaigrette.

"excellent source of sparkles..." Finally! I've found the supplement I've been looking for.

tattoos? yum! my bf just told me he wants to get a sleeve on his upper arm where he already has one tattoo, and I think I started to drool... not all tattoos are created equal, though. some I find really dumb and are a turn off. it just all depends on the person and the ink.

I'm in!

if you can pack a cooler, try making a tasty salad and bring fresh fruit. yum!

so..who made it to the final four? LOUISVILLE?? YEP! That's right.

lol, I only use 2 weight machines at the gym. The assisted chin up/dip machine, and a low row machine. I use free weights for everything else.

Thanks for this!

If you have a yard, plant a garden and grow your produce. you can plant an herb garden in your kitchen, too. if you don't have a yard, see if your community has a community garden where you can rent a garden space. buy things in bulk, or stock up on items when they are on sale.

congratulations! my boyfriend and I are discussing possibly getting married next spring. a friend gave me a book called "buff brides" by sue fleming. check it out!

what time of day did you go out? I only walk or run outside when it is light out. try running somewhere more populated--it's not as peaceful, but it is safer. if you can, keep your phone on you, or make sure to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back. get a dog to exercise with--even though I have a…

eat more calorie dense foods, like nut butters, avocado, nuts & seeds, healthy oils, dried fruit, granola, & fruit juices, to up your calories. i wouldn't eat less than a NET of 1200.

Huzzah! Gnarly! w00t! Hey-O!

Thanks for the responses, I will have to go buy some local honey...and MAYBE a neti-pot. It kind of freaks me out, though!

Yep, I would definitely worry about them eating your body when you collapse from sugar OD.

Started at 135 #. Now at 126.5 #. Lost inches off my waist, butt, legs. Arms have muscle tone. Face is thinner. Lost a pant size. Body fat % down several points. Feeling great!!!

no difference to water intake? eek!! you need to keep your body hydrated to keep it functioning properly. sometimes thirst is mimicked by hunger. drinking enough water helps prevent excess water weight. etc, etc, etc... http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/07/9-great-reasons-to-drink-water-and-how.html…

1. Make healthy food choices and stay under calorie goal 2. Complete 60 mins of strength training @ the gym 3. Drink 7-8 glasses of water

GREAT job everyone!! :bigsmile:

mfp doesn't account for the intensity settings on the elliptical, like crossramp and resistance. so go by what the machine says, or get a HRM like other posters have suggested! :smile:

I would definitely add more variety, and more fruits and veggies. and you need to be getting calcium from somewhere, whether it is a dairy source or non-dairy source (soy products, almond products, etc..)

I can't keep up with all the responses anymore, and I don't care to read all the religious/non-religious-debate-rubbish, so if you have a caring, non-judgmental response that actually addresses my OP, send me a message! :smile: :heart:

I'm okay, thank you! I knew that there would be some haters out there. I'm grateful for all the positive and non-judgmental responses.
