Thanks for this topic! I like my boobs the best. Even though they are big, they look good in most everything. Personality wise I think I like my ability to get along with everyone. People always say I am pleasant to be around.

This is great, I was looking for fast and easy recipes

Thanks to all of you for the fabulous ideas. We actually just had the shredded bbq pork sandwiches last nigh and they are great! My kids are young 6 and 3, and both can be difficult to feed. My daughter is lactose intolerant and my 3 year old just complains about everything he's served! I think they would love the hawai…

I was wondering the same thing. I also have asthma and I have to do 45 minutes on the treadmill walking. I can jog for like 1 minute and thats it. I do take headphones to the gym with me but they only have news on tv, no music.

I find that when I'm trying to watch what I eat, if I get a craving for something like fast food I'll get a nutrition fact sheet first then after I see how many calories are in the large sized bacon double cheese meal I kinda loose my appetite. Anyway the greasy fast food does not feel good sitting like rocks in my stomach…

Hi! we are in the same boat, I just started back last week. I lost about 20 lbs last year but I didn't stick with it and gained it all plus some back. I told myself that this time will be different. I am tired of seeing my sagging, flabby belly and havng no energy. I'm afraid too that I will quit, but I am taking it one…

Thanks everyone!

I LOVE THIS!!! Just tell yourself you are "allergic". I think I'll try this, I am now allergic to pizza, chips, etc. Thanks!

I too have forgotten to buckle the kids in. I have threatened my 5 year old with a call to police to deal with her temper tantrum (listen to high pitch screaming for 1 1/2 hours at a time and you might understand!) I have given my 3 year old candy when he woke up whiny and grouchy just to get him to leave me alone. I have…

I have used several brands/types of makeup in the past. I use Bare Minerals now and it is by far the best makeup I have ever used. My skin looks so smooth with this brand. I like that when I wear this makeup, I don't look made up, I just look like I have really good skin. The brushes cover imperfections so well that I can…

I'm in - I want to lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving. Start 215 lbs. Goal - 195 lbs.

I've been cleaning for 2 years now, i just would grab 2 double cheeseburgers, large fry and large soda from mc'd's after work ( i wonder how i gained so much weight:embarassed: )

aprilvet, thanks! i think i understand where you're going. I'm going to try eating an extra 400 cals on my work days by snacking on granola bars, almonds and high protein things and just not consider this as my exercise. I never thooght of doing it this way, but after talking to my DH it finally amkes sense to me. So…

on my normal days i eat about 1230 cals before any exercise, when i set my goals i set them for being only somewhat active because i work at the most 3 days in a week but mostly only 1 day a week. and i work only 4 hours max per day. I wear a heart rate monitor and track my HR as i work. i also do n other exercise on those…

the last two days i had to do the fast food thing. i went to mc'donalds and got a premium grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato no mayo on a honey wheat bun. 380 cals but a big sandwich and lots of flavor even without the sauce. I also took special k crackers with me as my side so i wouldn' get fries!

I am having difficulty with eating my exercise calories on the days I work cleaning houses. On those particular days I burn between 800 - 1200 calories. My problem is I usually have 1000 or so calories at the end of the day and if I eat those calories for dinner I end up with an extra pound or two the next day and I have…

oh, take your vitamins too, that should help. Foods I like for breakfast are a fruit smoothie made with yogurt, frozen berries, a banana and oj along with a few slices lean turkey bacon and some double fiber wheat bread toasted with a little bit of polaner apricot jam. Very filling and this type of b-fast has protein and…

I like plain almonds toasted in the oven to bring out their flavor, fiber one granola bars or kashi granola bars, or 2% cheddar cheese on triscuit crackers is great.

Great job! It's so stressful thinking about these kinds of hurdles, but you made it through and doesn't it feel great to know you can do it.

Thanks for sharing, I had a bad day this past week, I ate like 12 cookies, a BOX of crackers and a whole tub of spreadable chhese in one afternoon. I felt really bad after that (a little sick too!) but I decided to just consider it my one cheat day and not give in next time. It's nice to have the support of MFP's when this…

I took my own food so I wouldn't have any excuses that there was nothing there I couldn't eat. Everybody loved my "diet" food too!

THANKS!!!, it's difficult but it feels so good to see the weight and inches come off.

I just had to share, I have always had NO willpower when it comes to weight loss. Any family gathering always includes tons of food I LOVE and I always pig out. This weekend I had a B-day party for my niece, they had buffalo wings(OMG!!!), but I kept myself in check, I ate only 5 and quit, I also had only a tiny slice of…

If it was already to late you woldn't be asking for help. Just start back with your good habits NOW!!! I had a day last week where I just went nuts and ate 12 cookies a whole box of crackers and a tub of spread cheese, but it was just one day and you can't let a little slip up keep you from what you want. Everybody needs…

Good ?, I'd also like to know how to measure stomache. I got two measurements 4 inches different. Do you suck it in or push it out? and where do you take the measurement to begin with.

Checking in! Thursday - 155 crunches Friday - 0 - hurt my back Saturday - 155 crunches Sunday - 0 - reaggravated back problem So far 775 crunches done out of 3100.

Like a lot of you I love caesar salad with grilled chicken, but I don't usually get the regular caesar dressing because of the calories and it's so thick it weighs down the salad. I found a fabulous alternative. Mix 2 Tbsp. Ken's lite northern italian and 1 Tbsp. Ken's creamy caesar. The taste is just wonderful and it…
