Veggies are very low in calories. You could have a fair amount for those 50 calories. Air popped popcorn is pretty low too. Also, like the others said, you could go for a walk or do stuff in your room.

I like me too. I've worked hard to get where I am and I'm not sorry . :) I wish more people liked themselves.

I've dried it in the past and used it for tea. I've also chopped it up and added it with cut up fresh fruit for a homemade fruit cocktail. But not too much as its pretty strong. You could also add some to home made iced tea. Otherwise I'd like ideas too.

Awesome!

That's fantastic!!!

I figure we're going to pay that same money one way or another. Either we pay it up front for healthy living, or we pay it later in medical costs for health related problems that come with bad eating habits. I figure I'd rather pay it up front and have a good life. Aside from that, my hubby and I watch for what's on sale,…

I went to curves for about 2 years. I LOVED it. It was easy to understand what to do, when to change stations etc. So as a beginner in the "gym world" its practically idiot proof - which I liked. Also, I loved the music, it kept me motivated and kept the energy up. I also at the time liked that it was women only so I…

Thanks everyone. I wasn't expecting so much support, but you folks have made my day. :flowerforyou:

I think this would be a good thing to talk to your doctor or your nutritionist about. I've had that conversation with my doctor and this is what she said: Whole wheat is almost the exact same as "white" flour concerning how your body processes it. She says that whole wheat doesn't have any more health benefits to it and in…

Thanks everyone for all your great comments. Its almost embarrassing to admit I shopped at the "Big Girl Store" but lets face it anyone who looks at me know I don't swap clothes with Angelina Jolie. :)

Thanks everyone... It sure put a smile on my face.... and I'm actually excited to go the gym tonight with my new clothes. :) Its just a shame I'm going to have sweat in them. hee hee

The gym owner told me to change up my routine. Previously I'd been doing about a half hour of cardio and then weights. She told to me to change it to 10-15 minutes of cardio - as hard and as fast as I could, then switch and do weights for 10-15 minutes. Then repeat that schedule throughout my gym time. The doctor told me…

I'm a HUGE fan!!! I was almost sorry to see him go - only because I was looking forward to he and Rob having to bunk together alone on the island before facing off - Mano en Mano! hee hee hee

Thanks everyone. :)

yeah baby!! This is an awesome response! I think everyone should be proud of their accomplishments!

That's amazing! Congrats!! :wink:

My first thought was that its probably calcium that's missing, or fatty acids such as fish oils, olive oil etc. But it could also be a fungal infection which is extremely common and easily passed from person to person. It's probably worth a quick visit to the doctor to confirm.

I've been on here since the end of August, and I won't lie, having to log and pay attention every single day, for every single thing I eat sucks. But I pull up my big girl panties and do it. Every day. Because I know that its the only way I'm going to learn how to eat more healthy and take off this extra weight for good.…

Me too. I don't wear my glasses in class, and in fact, for some poses that I know really well, I concentrate so hard on what I'm doing that I often have my eyes shut all together. Besides, if you looked at the others in the mirror with as critical an eye as you look at yourself, you'd probably find that everyone else looks…

that's awesome! :)

Come on you guys.... there's thousands of people on this website. Surely you can think of 1 little thing that makes you fabulous...

YEAY!!!!!! MY MFPEEPS....YOU ARE ALL TRULY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!! OK, NOW TELL ME MORE! :flowerforyou:

Bump for me too - Great question

Most department stores claim to do bra fittings, but I've never found the bras they pick out any better than what I could find on my own. Same any other retail store. When I got married a couple of years ago I was quite concerned because I needed something unique to work with my wedding dress, and ....well... lets just say…

awesome!!:flowerforyou:

This is one I recently heard: "Face your stuff don't stuff your face."

I don't know about you, but I've failed every diet that I was hungry on. I just can't beat it. So this time round, I eat lots of veggies. I can eat bucket-loads for virtually no calories, so I stay full and get in lots of nutrition at the same time. I've been here since August and haven't given up. Maybe it would work for…

I've been stuck on a plateau too - no weightloss for 6 weeks. So this is what I'm trying. hopefully it works.

I have treats from time to time too. Usually one evenings when I have the house to myself and can settle on the couch in comfy jamies after a good work out at the gym. I don't feel confident yet that I could master dolling out a serving size from a large container and not go back for more. So I buy 1 thing in a small size…

I'm not a big wine drinker myself, but I do remember from back when I used to go to WW meetings, that they suggested you do wine spritzers instead. I think if I remember correctly it was half wine half club soda. Maybe give that a try??
