Who was in City of Angels with Meg Ryan Cue endless cycle of chick flicks

Let's break it down. In most restaurants, to a server, tables are like real estate. In mine for example, if a family of four came in and only the 2 kids ate, the bill would probably be $15. Where as if everyone ate normally, it would probably be between $50-100. So to us, it does kinda feel like we're losing money.…

I'm in week 9! I can see the light! It was a great program and I plan on using the 5 to 10k app as well. However, for me, the scale stopped moving 9 weeks ago to feed my developing muscles - but i've definitely seen change in my body, just not in the number! Good luck!

turkey burgers with provolone cheese, avocado slices & chipotle mayo!

Overweight people are telling you that because that is how they justify staying overweight to themselves. Do what's best for your body and lose it.

It's usually about 300-350 for about half an hour. Nothing crazy.

I'm in week 4 and nervous about next week! First jog with no intervals!!!

Lolita - I like your second pic because you're excited about the race!

Whole Foods/Publix/Target/Kroger When i lived in Louisiana, I shopped at Whole Foods and the local groceries like Rouses and Roberts. I do NOT give my money to Walmart. No matter what.

Band/drama ?

Life's too short to always say no to cupcakes.

Lady Gaga!!! I've been listening to her for 30 pounds and still am motivated when i hear Bad Romance!

Sainsbury's - a major grocery chain here- has its own line called "Be Good to Yourself." It basically healthier versions of pretty much everything you need. I would suggest that and just portion control in general. You might not lose any, but you can probably keep it so that you don't gain any either. You can always…

This is a really cool thing! I've done and it really does help! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_window

Enjoy yourself and order what you like, especially if you worked out today! Watch out for those margaritas though! They'll get ya! :)

bump!

Also- you might be hungrier if you cut out some of the lattés. Just one tends to make me less hungry, much less 3.

I very much agree with this. It is a heated issue. I didn't eat back my exercise calories for a while and I hit a plateau until I started eating them again. Calories are energy and your body needs a certain amount to function. Starving your body of that may result in weight loss, but it will only be temporary. Once you…

At my coffee shop, they normally add milk to it. I think that's the difference.

No secrets! Just following the MFP diet and doing the elliptical about 4 times a week. I've also taken little "vacations" from my diet as well to get my body used to eating the right amount again. It's good for your body and for your mental heath as well. It makes it seem more like a lifestyle change than a diet this way.…

When you exercise, you gotta eat those too... or at least some. I usually eat half to 2/3 of them. Otherwise, you're starving yourself and your body will hold onto everything you're eating and in turn, drastically slow your weight loss.

I always get Veggie and Tofu fried rice at my Thai place. It's waaaaaayyyyy less cals than the Pad Thai and still delicious. Although I'll usually steal a bite or two of my friends' Pad Thai. ;)

I eat Vita muffins and Vita tops. They're amazing and only 100 cals each plus a ton of vitamins for your body. :)

I make this, but i saute the pear in red wine, cinnamon and nutmeg and top it with Marscapone cheese. YUM!!

I don't enter anything unless it's over 30 minutes of activity. Your body needs to be at a certain heart rate for optimal calorie burn as calculates MFP. Walking to your car is definitely not a candidate for exercise, but walking around the park continuously for 30 minutes could be!

I am in complete agreement with that. You should also adjust your diary to track your sodium (fast food is RICH in sodium) and try to keep that under the allotted amount. I also noticed you don't have ANY water logged. Either you're not logging it or you're not drinking it. Water is one of the most important elements for…

I do this and it has really worked!! Metabolic Window: It is important to eat within 45 minutes post-exercise. This 45 minute period is referred to as a “metabolic window”. During this time the enzymes to replenish muscle and protein stores are at peak levels. This means you want to eat a snack that contains protein and…

You need to log your exercise and eat 1/2 to 2/3 of your exercise calories because your body needs 1200 net calories a day to function or you will put your body into starvation mode. It happened to me, but when i started eating my exercise calories, i started losing again!

You should eat what you want on your birthday or Valentine's. Treat yourself and don't let the diet take over your life. Eating what you want for one day isn't going to make all the weight you've lost come back. I was at home for Christmas break for over a month and wasn't keeping track and didn't gain any back. OVER THE…

Make that FOUR! Just found some BKEs!! :-D
