Just use it as motivation! I was down 20 lbs and got asked when I was due by a lady in a store. Really?!? I was all pumped because I thought I was looking good, apparently I was just looking like I was expecting. You've just got to take all that negative and turn it into your positive. Work out, get angry, use that energy,…

get a burger without the bun and instead wrap it in a lettuce leaf. I do this at Magnolia Cafe in Austin all the time because their bison burgers are amazing but their buns are crazy...

Thats where I read that!!! Thanks :) And I'm right there with you, I can see the number go down pretty quickly (i'm big on gratification asap) and if it goes up I can fix it pretty quickly (never fun).

I weigh in once a day, every morning. It kept me in check. And I found that if I weighed myself every morning I didn't have the ability to justify cheating a little bit like I did if I went a week between weigh ins. My suggestion would be to find what works best for you. If you're going to stress over the number every…

Edamame. It has a ton of protein

your pan isn't hot enough and too much oil, thats the problem i generally have if they come out slimy. heat your pan then add only about a tsp of canola oil then when thats heated add the shredded potatoes

Oooh! Thanks. That'll save me from copying each one by hand!

I don't know anything about how many cals (MFP does that for me!) but I had to reply cuz I like Damien Rice too.

i've been on MFP for a year under the same name and my weight has gone up and down the whole time. we all struggle and we're glad to have you back. add me for encouragement if you'd like. we can do this together. I ultimately have to lose 100 lbs.

Good morning everyone! I started off this morning great with two glasses of water so far. And I had enough willpower to avoid IHOP at 2am with friends, even though a Bacon Egg Cheeseburger did sound amazing. But doing good today. Hoping the rain will clear up so I can take the dog and baby for a walk. Good luck everyone!

count me in! good luck ya'll :)

of course we'll take you :) you'll have to keep me updated on how SB goes. I've been curious about that and have a book of the diet from like four years ago but have never cracked it open. just been monitering what i eat on here. but if it's a do-able diet then i'm all for it. also i need to find a diet i can cook meals…

what is it??

when i grow up by the *****cat dolls. i know its dorky but the beat is right for keeping me on pace running on the treadmill

anything by 3oh!3 or britney spears

thanks katelbatel for the library tip, i'll defenitely have to check that out. Patty: Turbo Jam looks good but is there any way to get it other than off TV ads? Kimber: I'll check Target tomorrow. Thanks ya'll. :flowerforyou:

try to avoid running on the pavement and get some good shoes with shock absorption, that's what helped mine

ha, i had a night like that Friday night with mex food and margaritas. What can you do? Lol. Just don't let it get you down

I got 10 minutes in today then put in an extra 20 for the last two, lol. It's crazy to go to school and work and be a single mom and exercise. Gotta do what you gotta do though. I didn't find a pair of heels i want but i found a pair of uggs. lol, i know, step backwards as far as the sexiness level. :laugh: i'll just keep…

So this morning I got up and drove to Austin with my daughter for us to visit my sister. I should have planned ahead and had my breakfast at home... But instead I got hungry on the way and stopped at Sonic... BEWARE OF THE JR. BREAKFAST BURRITOS.... 2 is over 500 calories! eek! kinda threw off my day and especially that…

So every day I'm over in my protein, usually not more than 10-15 grams. But on the days where I'm okay on my protein I go way over on my carbs. Should I just ignore the fact that I'm over since I'm exercising every day? The snacks I eat have a lot of protein (Luna Bars) but they beat the 4 pm snack rush I'm used to having.…

see this is why i'm lovin this group! i would have never thought of any of these things and they're all great ideas! thanks guys, :flowerforyou:

what you could do instead is take a can of diet coke at home and stick it in the freezer for a while (it'll start to become slushy like after about 20 min) then drink that instead. you'd save the cals and the gas to get one

haha, i live in a podunk town. when i mean bleachers i mean three rows so it's only like 3 feet high and they're not that big. but i might go to my old high school and use their bleachers, great idea. do i get to do a rocky dance at the top? :laugh:

CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS! It's pretty incredible what you've done!

So I've always been a big dieter but never big on exercise and last night i went to a sports park by my house and ran the soccer field, walking the short sides and sprinting the long. but i can see how thats going to get boring pretty quickly. anyone have any strength traning moves i can do on the bleachers there or any…

Last year I was a french maid and I think this year I'm going to use the same costume for one of my Halloween parties just to see the results. I looked kinda like a french stuffed sausage last year, lol. The naughty outfits are the best but they're hard to have confidence in unless you're happy with yourself. I've always…

I've already had my non-water bvg (red bull sugar free, it's my weakness). And this is my first week here so I can't really participate in the weigh-in atlhough it seems like you ladies are doing great. Hope everyone's Thurs is going well... Any tips to make water more appealing? :happy:

I'd like to join if that's ok with you ladies. I just came back to MFP after a long break (about 6 mo) and now I'm looking for a fun group to get me back into being motivated.
