I want to do this!! Do I have to join a group? Or just bookmark this thread??

I love my recumbant bike, too! I am at work, so I can't check the brand, but it has a heart monitor, you can set resistance, calories burned, timer, etc.

I have this one too and love it!

I usually do a bowl and go light on the chips, but tomorrow it is an intentional cheat day and I'm having the works, lol! Love me some Chipotle!!

I am having my first cheat/spike day tomorrow. I know it will be my best one, lol! Chipotle steak burrito with extra cheese, a whole bag of their yummy chips and salsa, mmmm! That is like 1200 calories right there in one meal, lol!

Just made these... YUM! I blended dry oats in the blender first, then added the hot water and blended until mixed well. Then put all the rest of the ingredients in the blender and mixed it all up. I made 18 regular sized cupcakes and one tray of 12 minis. I also added extra mini choc chips to the top. Agreed with some of…

What is your source for this list??

Of course she should be on here!! This is "My FITNESS Pal"! She wants to be FIT and healthy! Sheesh!!

I was going to write a similar thread today!! Great job losing 5 lbs and wanting to get fit and heathy!! I am 43 and weigh 134. I just lost 14 lbs in our Biggest Loser contest at work. Our final weigh in was today. I am so TIRED of people commenting "well, you didn't need to lose weight anyway!", like just because I don't…

I have one in the fridge right now! It's the 3rd one I have made in the past 10 days. My hubby and mom (lives with us) both enjoy it too and they are not dieting. Hope you enjoy!

I feed my chihuahua/terrier mix, Spock, Blue Buffalo. He loves it, but spits out the "health" black pieces, lol! He also gets fresh chicken or beef every morning. Also, do NOT give your dogs Chicken Jerky (Waggin Trails or Milo's Kitchen brands). It has been linked to kidney failure in dogs!

I have been on a plateau for about a month and it is so frustrating! At first I lost inches, but now nothing, nada! I have upped my calories, tried upping my carbs, lowered my carbs, etc. and nothing works! I am about ready to just give up! I don't want to - I am halfway to my goal! But nothing seems to be working for me!…

[/quote] Do you eat protein? Aspartame is in all sources of protein. Anytime you eat phenylalanine and aspartic acid, you're eating aspartame, and those amino acids are found in chicken, beef, soybeans, fish, wheat, nuts, beans, eggs and dairy, in much higher concentrations than you would EVER get out of a Crystal Lite…

I have been making this: Pumpkin Pie Bake 5 Large Eggs 1 15 oz can Libby's - 100% Pure Pumpkin 1.5 tsp Mccormick - Pumpkin Pie Spice 1 tsp Vanilla extract - Imitation, no alcohol 1 tsp Cinnamon, ground ½ cup Splenda Granulated for Baking (maybe ez sweetz instead? 24 drops) 8 oz pkg Cream Cheese Bake at 350 degrees for 40…

I agree about Pinterest! I have got some great food ideas from there. Or,there is a low carb forum on MFP: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/411-low-carber-daily-forum-the-group- It has threads with menu ideas and lots of support for low carbers!

Atkins is not a NO carb diet. It is a LOW carb diet. You still eat carbs, but you get them from healthy greens. Then, you slowly add in more carbs, until you find the level where you stop losing, then stay under that number. For most people, the maintenance level of carbs on Atkins is from 100 to 150. The "withdrawls" last…

Under 30 carbs a day is not hard. The first few days can be bad for some people. Was never bad for me. If you have the desire to lose weight and are willing to get past the withdrawl symptoms (because carbs ARE an addiction!), you would do fine. I have lost 10 lbs in the past 8 weeks, a very reasonable and healthy loss. If…

^^This^^ I have switched from regular Diet Pepsi to Pepsi One though. Made with Splenda instead of aspartame. Tastes very close to the same. I drink one a day, only on work days though. It is my afternoon treat. It does NOT trigger cravings for sugar or anything sweet, (or anything at all, for that matter). Regular soda…

Try this website. I love her blog - she is super funny and has great low carb / low sugar recipes!! http://yourlighterside.com/low-carb-dessert-recipes/

I eat a MIM practically every day, plus I love to snack on almonds. :)

That is a fad diet that has been around forever. It pops up every now and then. Definately not a healthy way to lose weight!!

EZ-Sweetz! Liquid Splenda. I just got my order last Friday and I am loving it! It has 0 carbs. I drink lots of hot and iced tea and was hating having to add in all the carbs for the Splenda packets or granular so this stuff is great! Also use it in my MIM! I got a free sample from here…

I will try this too, thanks!! :)

Thanks! I will try that!

When I first started low carbing, I went into ketosis, purple. Now that I have been doing this for a month, I am barely in "trace". I do drink lots of water, but I check first thing in the morning. I have stopped testing every day, now just like once a week, and still just in "trace". I keep my net carbs around 20 and the…

Bob Harper Yoga Warrior DVD will get your heart rate up!! And you will sweat!

I just ordered "Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga, with Bob Harper". It's supposed to be excellent. Has 3 different levels, plus a warm up and cool down and you can select what order you want them to play in. It is also supposed to be easier on your joints, if someone is looking for that. Everyone says it kicks your butt and…

Sounds great! Which dollar store? We have 4 different types here in Arkansas. Is it glass or plastic?? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I tried making these in the tupperware lids to make a burger bun and they turned out so dry that they just crumbled up! My burger fell completely apart and ended up just eating the burger patty and cheese, again. Any tips? The recipe said to cook each half for 60 seconds, but would cooking it less time be better?
