I vacuum seal lots of stuff, stays fresh and keeps longer in the freezer.

My gym's trainers gave me the "tour" giving me a basic workout showing me how to use the machines, helped me determine what weight to set them on, how to use the cardio equipment. It was all designed for me. Most gyms don't want a novice to come in not knowing how to use a piece of equipment and then getting hurt. They…

I use instant coffee in my morning smoothie, add a little Hershey's cocoa, almond milk and protein powder and I have lovely tasting Frappe.

Way to go! You are truly inspriring. Set mini goals for yourself, and when you reach that goal, set another. Also, don't forget that everyone has a bad day, and will slip up. don't beat yourself up for those times. Just wake up the next day and continue on toward your goal. You can do this...you are already on your way to…

I like to pan fry in a little olive oil and sprinkle with some Emeril Lagase's seasoning; just before I remove it from the pan I splash a little white wine and then squeeze a little lemon juice on it. Yum!

Please count me in, I need the extra motivation.

I have Fitbit One and love it; I can wear it at night and records how well I'm sleeping. Getting a good nights sleep can affect your health, and I know I do not sleep well. I like how it works with MFP and the food log in MFP is so much better than Fitbits so I use that and it syncs it with the Dashboard on Fitbit.

I'm in NW Florida; 16 degrees and schools are open.

On those days when you can't get to the gym, do you have a Plan B set up to work out at home?

I have one and am not sure if I like it or not will need to continue on for a while longer; I havn't sync'd it with MFP yet but will and then maybe I will like it better.

There should be a post for tell us your Greek Tragedy....mine would have to be a blog! LOL

50 - 100.....good, I've been under that. Thank you!!

What is the standard sugar intake, I always go over too, fruit mostly; there is a history of diabetes in my family and I want to avoid it so I try to cut back but it seems everything you eat has sugar.

They have more nutrients and vitamins than regular potatoes. Its the color I guess.

Northwest Florida here...in between Pensacola and Panama City Beach.

When your on the treadmill, eliptical etc and with 10 minutes left and the machine quits on you, so you have to move to another machine, if its available and try to get back into the workout. I am like most people here, I go to the gym to work out not to socialize, pick up men or be noticed by everyone. I put my music on,…

Congratulations....time for a happy dance!

I use pita bread or flat bread, pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni (you wouldn't know its turkey) and low fat mozzerella or even italian cheeses. bake for about 10 minutes at 350 and it is yummy. Dont' have all the numbers in front of me but its about 400 cals. You can be really creative with these home made pizzas that are…

It depends on the time of day you weighed yourself on your scale at home and then at the doctor. They say your weight is most accurate if you weigh first thing in the am. Are you weighing with our without clothes, and how heavy were your clothes at the doctor. You can also ask the doctor when was the last time their scale…

I'm not sure which one is best but I prefer Pecans because they have a sweeter taste and Walnuts tend to make my mouth dry.

Praying for peace for a family who lost a loved one; Peace for your family as you wait for results and for healing and restoration for your father as his body is adjusting to this new organ.

I also have those cravings & mood swings right before; if I give in I don't sweat it. I just pick myself back up and get moving the next day. No one is on the "perfect" diet and we need to allow ourselves a "cheat" moment. Don't tear yourself down over it. Try to plan for the next month when you know IT is going to…

bump Sounds yummy!

Ask your sister to compromise with you...you go with her if she will do some things with you...suggest a bike ride or a hike where your not just sitting on a machine but going somewhere. I agree with the previous post that Zumba is fun if you like to dance, and if you have Wii there is Zumba for the Wii and you can do it…

I started the Visalus shakes and really like them and the fact that I can mix fruit in them and use Silk products as well as yogurt and skim milk and juice for variety. One if the best benefits I noticed was an increase in energy. I was taking a multivitamin and eating a balanced diet when I first started my weight loss…
