daylilies Member

Mine is one that I use on a different website. I picked it in case I got any friends here from that website, so they'd remember who I was. When I was a kid we had a lot of daylilies in our garden so I picked that as a reminder of my childhood :)

Don't drink too much alcohol, carry water with you as much as possible. use the fitness room if you can. I'm going on my first cruise in May and people said they knew people who actually lost weight. Don't overdo it at meal time.

I haven't lost weight in months either so I'm just commenting so I can check back for suggestions. Hope you find something that works :)

That's why I wish all the entries had to be done in ounces. There's no room for misinterpretation if you eat 5 ounces of apple, rather than trying to figure out if it's small, medium, large, peeled, seeds included, etc.

I'm addicted to Cuties tangerines :) They're seedless and so good!

What a good idea! Can't believe that never occured to me. I'm not crazy about shakes.

I took a look at your diary and right away I see a problem. You're eating a lot of processed food. The pizza and corned beef hash just from today are loaded with sodium. If you need pizza, try making your own, on a bagel or English muffin. Don't used a ton of cheese and other toppings. Also I would slowly bring down the…

You could work on it at home. Guess how much something weighs and then weigh it. I've gotten scarily good at eyeballing something correctly because I weigh everything at home!

Congrats!

Thanks for the additional comments. I already signed up for a year of the monthly PT's. I'm sure there's a fee to back out of that, even if there isn't a fee to leave the gym. All I wanted to do was get a workout outlined for me and I could do the rest on my own but of course I got suckered into buying the sessions. I…

With the settings I have now, it says I will lose .6 lbs a week. I do eat my calories back, my reasoning being that mfp already figures in a deficit when it gives you that 1200. I kind of switch back and forth on where I stand with this, but I decided to err on the side of eating more...lol... I tried spinning but it…

Should we send you a message with our tally or just update on our page?

I will! I try to drink 64 oz. daily but often come up short.

I just got a pamphlet from my new personal trainer and one of the things she says is "You don't need motivation to do something, you need determination." in other words you can't rely on other people to get you through this, it has to come from within you. That really changed my perspective and I hope it helps you too. I'm…

Right! Have fun with that! ;)

I just got a personal trainer who said if it's 10 or fewer calories not to log it.

Thanks guys! I think about how natural my food is too...but people were making bread and pasta before electricity! (I can rationalize anything, LOL)

Wow, I guess it was a really stupid question. LOL

I've never done a 5K but I wanted to say yay for you. Go for it!

Thanks, I will give this a try :) sounds do-able.

Thanks guys-I cannot run due to back problems and if I go any faster than like 2.9 on a flat level I feel like I'm going to trip and fall (I have balance issues) What do you guys recommend for the best burn? I must be doing something right, because I have lost weight, but maybe it's the diet change that is working more…

I do it first thing in the morning, after I pee, in my bra and underwear. Was that TMI? LOL I do it once a week--I feel like my weight fluctuates day to day to get an accurate daily reading.

You know, I have tried a few of the ready to drink shakes and I don't like them. They're too thick. Right now I am using a powder called Naturade, it is soy, and it calls for 8 oz. of milk and 2 scoops, but I use 12 oz. of milk instead so it's at the thickness I like. I suggest getting a powder if you're picky, so you can…

I usually have a couple scrambled eggs for breakfast, or a meal replacement shake if I don't feel like eggs. For lunch I might have some turkey and cheese, I like cherry tomatoes or some kind of fruit with that, usually strawberries, For snacks I usually have fruit or cheese and peanuts. Dinner, maybe a burger (no bread),…

(waves) Thanks for the add and good luck :) Just be careful when you're adding foods to your diary from the database...some of the entries are inaccurate. If you have any questions you can message me, I've been here a while :)

It's a bit of a pain, LOL

Oh wow...I don't see you making a lot of female friends with this one ;P Okay I admit it, I laughed.

I have a personal trainer who also does meal planning. I don't know what program he uses but he plugs in everything I should eat and it adds up all the nutritional values, then he printed it out for me. The percentages he'd give me were different from what MFP recommended so I would just go in here and change the goals to…

You can do it right here under food, add recipe.

I'm sure it will be amazing. I've been to a lot of their shows and other events since the reunion and yes they've still got it :)
