Welcome to MFP, This is the best place to lose weight and get advice. I have never been so excited to keep track of my food intake and more motivated to actually exercise. Kushiel :)

okay Late check in for me. I managed to take the kids for an easy 8 mile bike ride:happy: only went over my calories by 100 which is super good for me on the weekends especially when my husband is home ( whats up with his daily allowance being 1000 calories more than mine btw:sad: ) so now on to Sunday I am about to embark…

Thank you all for your great ideas. I pulled out my dusty DDR last week and the kids have totalyy gotten into that I am now trying to beat my daughter (grimace)

my favorite snacks ever are 1 Mini Babybel Light Cheese ( 50 calories) plus 1/4 cup almonds (plain) (170 calories) or 1 cup fat free greek yougurt (120 calories) with a tablespoon of craisins (50 calories)of sime kind of dried fruit. Congrats on joining and I hope this helps I know nothing about diabetes so I am truly…

First big congrats on joining MFP. Often the first step is the hardest. My kids are now much older but I have been in your shoes. So here are some ideas. In the past I have use a stability ball and simple hand weights to get in my strength training. Cardio I had to totally rack my brain though so this is the best solution.…

I am in!! My Friend is coming down from Michigan and we are going out for happy hour. Will check back for tomorrow

I find that when I am hungry, most of the time it is me misreading the signals that my body is giving and i am actually thirsty. If I feel excessive hungry I try to drrink more water. 75% of the time I stop feeling hungry the other 25% I just figure I need a snack and eat a resonable snack of appx 100 to 130 calories.

Wow I also noticed the same thing but the next day I am hungry enough to eat a horse I really like the idea of grouping the days together so that i can eat when i am hungry. Thanks this is awesome

I agree with Vanessa, On WEdnesdays I eat my favorite foods in moderation. For me this means that I will have bacon ( I LOVE BACON!!!!) I will have a cookie I will have what ever I want in moderation ie one servings size But I also track it I don't feel guilty about the calories I figure that I earned them by being so…

Hi its great to see you on the posts. this is my favorite lentil recipe its suer easy to make and you can make a big batch cause the taste gets better everyday!! Even better is I normally pair this with quinoa to round out the meal. I haven't calculated the calories though Lentil Tabouli 1 cup Green Lentils 3 cups Water ¼…

This was great. Thank you for posting that article accountant_boi I read it to my daughter (she has asthma and allergies) and she was amazed at how important water consumption is.

Annitin - looks like you might be new too I am excited to be a cheerleader in your corner. :flowerforyou: Bjberry - I can't believe how close you are to your goal that is fantastic :happy:

I have never thought of frothing my milk where would I find one of those and what do they look like. I bet that it tastes really good

I don't really know what is recommended but I have found that eating before exercise makes me feel sick to my stomach so I always eat afterwards. If I workout in the morning I will have a nutragrain bar and drink water about 30 minutes before. But even that can make me feel sick if I use the treadmill. Though I am normally…

Honestly I would rather drink coffee with fat free milk and no sugar than give it up. Fat free skim milk has only 86 calories per cup so I figure it is an okay indulgence. SW 220 07/2008 CW 180 08/2010 Goal 155
