I drink between 6 and 12 8 oz glasses of water per day. I do better when I am at work through the week because aside from my morning iced coffee water is the only thing I drink usually. My trick is to make it in Quart Gaterade bottles. I HAVE to drink at least two per day on work days. Another trick I use is I use flavored…

Have done well limiting the sugar intake which was my goal last week. I have hit a bad couple of weeks in that I have actually gained a couple of pounds in the last couple of weeks. This is very frustraiting because I have been doing everything the same and have in fact exercised a bit more than previously. Hopefully this…

Congratulations to the winners!!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!

A snack I use to control hunger is cottage cheese and tomatoes. For some reason the combination of the two seems to reduce my cravings and hunger for a long period of time. Love this especially in the summer when you can get an abundance of fresh tomatoes.

My snacks are pudding cups, special K bars, mini Pretzel twists.......occasionally nust when I need to add fiber for the day. I have to watch that one though because I am tempted to eat more than a serving sometimes with them. Also mini rice cakes...love the quacker sweet chili flavred ones. I will have to try these peanut…

I was a slug on the weekend and didn't get in my extra exercise sessions. I am blaming the yucky weather but in reality I was just lazy. Have had some outside issues this past week and it has affected my thinking in a bad way. I know I will snap out of the funk soon. Things just have to run their course. So no I did not…

Great Job!!! How did you lose your "stomach"? I have lost 58 lbs over the last couple of years (only 6 since joining MFP) but can't seem to make my stomach shrink much so i am curious how you did that? You look great BTW.

Congratulations to the winners!!! Enjoy your prizes!!!!

I can drink it plain but it has to be really really cold. I was buying bottled water for a while. I found the Ice mountain does taste better. But that was four bottles a day to get my 8 cups. I discovered Crystal Light Margarita flavoring and LOVE that so when I am at work I fill up two Gatorade bottles each morning and…

I excercised for a little bit both days of the weekend but not as much as i had hoped. i caought a cold at the end of last week so that zapped my energy quite a bit but I figure some is better than none. This week I am going to make my fitness goal to do an exercise DVD at least 3 times for 30 mins. Food goal is to try and…

Have you tried adding those flavor packets to your water Jenifer? Or freezing it to make it really cold? Those two things helped me to increase my intake. I hated water too....but those have really helped. :smile:

I have never had something not come up. If your salad was from a national resturant then be sure to put the resturant name in the description. I have occasionally found that MFP is a stickler for spelling so if you have something spelled wrong it will not bring it up..

My goal this week is to add some sort of weekend exercise to my routine. The weekends are usually my off days for exercise but with the warm weather now I can get moving outside and it will seam like less of a chore. At least that's what I am hoping.:smile:

I have heard that Zumba gives you quite the work out. Have not tried it yet though. Will have to see if there is a class in my area.

I am a big fan of Crystal Light water additives. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Margarita one!!!! Tastes just like a margarita without the alcohol. i love to put them in the freezer and let them freeze to a slushy consistancey...taste great. They make many flavers so you are sure to find one you like. I also like the strawberry orange…
