  • Wha? Do you mean there WAS a Bennagin's at the Galleria? The closest one now is privatly owned and in Irving. I too once had my heart broken at a bennagin's, but it was the one on park and preston. Well, not really heart broken, more like kind of miffed. But it was just because happy hour was over and my beers were no…
  • I would like to see how people use it too. And if its worth it taste wise?
  • 1. I read on your profile that you have a thyroid problem. That can make a big difference in how much you lose and how quickly you lose it. 2. Eat all of your calories. Women have this idea that you have to eat like a starving child in africa to lose weight. this is not true. eat all your calories and your excercise…
  • Why do you want to lose it so fast? I understand not being happy with your body and wanting instant results, but let me ask you another question: how long did it take you to put on the weight? a month? probably not, so It probably wont come off in a month and stay off.
  • I think it is great that you started to think about the future and how you are going to maintain this lifestyle change in the future. I love to eat and I totally think, for me, 1200 is too low for me to manage. I changed my goal to 0.5lb per week and I think it is way easier to manage on the days I dont work out. On the…
  • This^ Happened to me when I lost weight the first time around. Mine got better as time passed. The doctor said the same thing.
  • Chicken Light™ Grilled chicken breast, rice, grilled vegetables, pico & salad. Fajita Lites™ Steak or chicken fajitas combined with seasoned grilled veggies. Spinach Quesadillas Lite Made with fresh spinach, poblano pepper and mushrooms. Easy on the cheese.
  • I love articles like this. They just make things make sense.
  • Have you tried to DP ten? It taste ALOT like Dr. Pepper, and its only 10 calories. Are you drinking the tiny cans, or the regular sized cans? I understand the Pop addiction. I have recently gone down to 1 a day. I only drink diet because my body doesnt process sugar very well. I think it is a good start. Remember, you dont…
  • nixi= slavic for sprite, mischevious fairy. rain= my element. pisces. a dear friend gave me this nickname 14 years ago and I have been using it ever since. If you google it, you will only find me. When I figured that out, I tattooed the name on me. Now it is mine for ever
  • Don't stress too much! It doesnt help the weight loss at all! I just went through the same thing. No loss for 2 weeks, then weight gain of 2lbs. I just weighed in and lost it all plus some. When this happens I just go back to the basics. Measure everything. Count everything. Keep as active as possible and stay away from…
    in UGH!!! Comment by nixirain February 2012
  • This was a problem for me at first. I was on track with my weight and then fell in love. He took me out to the best resturants and showed me the foodie world. I have struggled for the last 2 years to find a happy medium with him. He still has no interest in working out and ordering healthy meals when we are out, but we do…
  • I drink either: vodka diet in a tall glass= 65 calories it's 1 shot and the rest is diet coke. It helps me drink slower. Vodka and soda with a twist of lime or 3= 75 calories Miller light bottle 12oz= 96 calories Whiskey on the rocks= 1.25 oz= about 100 calories
  • I heard a comedian once say that he has an on going contest with his family to see who can lose the most weight after taking a dump. lol Yes, just for kicks. Not everything has to be about weight loss.
  • I had the same problem. It was my scale. Once I got a new one it stopped happened. I thought I was going crazy!!! lol
  • I know what you mean. This topic is alway kinda out of control when it comes to the critics. But thanks for the laugh. To the OP, good luck to you. I hope you have done your research, because there is going to be alot of negitivity coming at you.
  • I think the problem, with me atleast, is that going from eating like crap to eating healthy messes with your head a little. The lack of education on nutrition and something as simple as weight loss just isnt common knowlege like it should be. If I eat super healthy all day long I cant log 1200 calories and still be hungry.…
  • Oh, ok. I have used those and I like them. I can't do them all the time because they hurt the arch of my feet if I go too fast.
  • which one is the arc trainer? I think I use it, but is doesnt mesure strides, only speed.
  • 4'11 goal...not sure 105-115? I want to be atleast a size 4, but would love to be a 2
  • You have lost a good amount for weight for doing this for 4 weeks. Alot of the weight in the begining is water weight, or just the shock of your body changing you caloric intake/calories burned due to higher weight. If you are losing, you are doing it right. Even if you dont lose on week, thats ok. I saw you only have 18…
  • I looked at your whole diary and these are my thoughts: If you are too busy to make healthy food choices, which happens, you probably are not measuring things like the fast food. I dont trust portions that restaurants give me, so dont count on those waffle fries being and exact 3 oz. the fruit cup maybe. 1 oz extra can be…
  • you would love this website. hehe http://lmgtfy.com/
  • When you decide to look for another Doctor is Sugest zocdoc.com. Its a great website that allows you to see the docs profile and reviews from patients about bed side manner, etc. I use this website because I deal with doctors on a daily basis and I know they all have different personal options that sometimes conflict with…
  • I would suggest to get a heart rate monitor. You may be over eating if MFP is over estimating your calories burned.
  • there is an option under cardio for strenth training. thats what i use.
  • All the information I have read about this topic is very gray. The only thing that made a little sense to me is that if you eat 1200 a day and excerise 5 times a week burning say 300-450 calories each day after awhile your body will get used to it. I say eat like you are willing to eat for the rest of your life and do the…
  • Easiest crockpot recipe ever: BBQ Pulled Chicken: 2-3lbs chicken breast trimed (I just go to kroger and get a package) 1 bottle sweet baby rays 1. Place chicken in crockpot and cover with water and cook for 6-8 hours on low. 2. Pull out chicken and shred. 3. Place chicken back in crock pot with about 1/2 cup of the water…
  • Try skinnytaste.com. My BF has loved all the recipes I have made from here. He is shocked when I tell him they are low cal!
  • I love it . I think it is a great starter gym because the trainers there will teach you how to use the machines and even help you make fitness goals. I came here about a month ago because I was intimidated by the big gyms. I feel like I will want to join group classes soon at a studio or something, but still work out at PF…
