It may be because you are cooking from frozen. If I have frozen chicken, I thaw as much as possible in warm water before i have to cook it. A few ideas for having juicy tender chicken breast is to bake it covered with a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan. I usually season with whatever i am seasoning with and…

I was always was on the larger side. HS i was around 180. Then college came and i was working 2 full time jobs and i was able to drop down to 145 (from constantly being on the run) Then, I got pregnant. Gained about 30 pounds and then didn't lose any of it. Instead, i gained due to horrible relationship problems and life…

I agree! I love when you see someone asking why they can't lose weight but then their food diary is private so you can't offer any advice. (well, only blind advice!) At times I do feel self-conscious about posting stuff in there but I know on the days when I am not the poster child of perfect eating, I upped the exercise…

bump for later :)

I love this! Thaks for the laugh!

lmao. I just really laughed out loud, at my desk at work, and ended up with the water i was drinking coming out my nose!

I lost 7.8 pounds my first week. I average about 2 a week now. (I gave up all soda from at least 2 or 3 cans a day, several cups of coffee light and sweet with sugar and creamer, as well as all the usual bad food choices!)

Look into the diferent types of cheeses. Some are much more low-cal than others and some are better for you. (especailly from the cheese slices they sell in the packages!!) I do a version with feta cheese, spinach and tomato on the 9 grain whole wheat bread.

I totally agree! I am no longer stiff in the morning and my legs don't hurt as much. I also can't eat heavy things or fast food. I had a milk shake the other night to celebrate with the husband for his promotiion and i regretted it the rest of the evening! it sat in my stomach like a brick and I felt so sick! I also find…

If all else fails, you can cut off of the bone or bake it with bones in. That way, you could still soak it and retain the flavor. (i usually cover and cook at a lower temp so the inside cooks well and then last few minutes, uncover so top gets brown.)

There are endless possibilities with chicken! Some of my favorites are, chicken chili, fajitas, chicken soup, lemon chicken, chicken with grilled veggies, & spinach stuffed chicken.

It's only been a week! Don't give up! You will see progress if you continue to work hard!

From what I have seen and from what I try to do, I try to eat as healthily as possible. I limit the processed, fried, and fast food! I find that i do better overall if I eat the healthier foods as well as counting calories versus eating whatever and still being under calories.

bump! :)

Thanks for the tip!! I love the living social deals!

i have the android and in my browser, i went on the mfp website and saved it in my bookmarks so i can still catch peeks of statuses and posts and blogs from my phone! :)

The EA Sports Active 2 is great!! There is cardio boxing, step arobics, and soccer that you "play". There are programs you can do and it sets up mini goals and you can track your progress as well!

I wish we did! It's a very small office with only 6 people total and we have no specialists! When I am home, I use one of the big balls to sit on when watching tv or hanging out. I had tried the ball at work but it was too short to sit at my desk! lol

love love love this!!!!

lol, you should have seen my rant earlier! I got an email from JCPenny, they are having a buy one get one 50% bras so I went to check it out! I was excited until I searched for my size and came up with a choice of only a handful of bras. (2 to be exact once i was able to get rid of all the nursing ones!) and no, they were…

non-scale victory! ANd congrats!! :)

SOme of my lunch favorites include tuna! I put it over fresh spinach as a salad or I hollow out a tomoato and stuff it in there. (just go easy on the mayo!) For dinners, I usually make some kind of chicken breast or fish, and even ground turkey. There are some delicious recipes for turkey chili that are low cal and if you…

Kinect all the way!! We have both systems and everyone in our house prefer the kinect!!

I agree with the others. And one thing I found was that Progresso makes a Heart Healthy version of their soups that offers a lower sodium content. Mostly, I stay away from canned and pre-packaged. I usually make a batch of soup over the weekend and then throw it in individual sized tupperwares if I want soup (but I do have…

Congrats on the weight loss!!

Good job on finding that trigger and good luck with the loss! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!
