I only record the actual exercises I do. If I do heavy housework, I'll add that in, but normal everyday activity I don't.

Shrimp and pasta with a basil pesto sauce and some fresh broccoli. Tomato & mozzarella salad

I find that working out in the morning is best for me. That way, I feel motivated and good that I'm done for the day and not fearing for the "do I have time" later in the day when all else just seems to happen. I work out while everyone is still in bed and I have my "alone" time.

Slice the chicken into narrow slices and stir fry with lots and lots of veggies. (broccoli, celery, carrots, snap peas, bean sprouts) add a seasoning mix (asian food aisle). You'll get the protein and lots of veggies and serve over brown rice. I'm addicted to it!

what a typical story of a 15 year old!

I did the same thing however, I gained almost all that I'd lost (18 lbs). I'm back on track now and have lost 9 pounds in the past 3 1/2 weeks. I'm not going to do that again. All that hard work down the drain. Oh well, both my husband and I are doing this together so that makes it much easier seeing I'm a VERY competitive…

Has anyone been successful on Nutrisystem? I've been on it 1 week (with weekends off) and noticed there is quite a bit of sodium. My husband was told to get off it by his cardiologist due to the high sodium content. I guess it is useful for the first month anyway to learn proper portion sizes. Any comments? :flowerforyou:

I make my own green iced tea (decaf) with 2 tea bags to 1 gallon of water and add 1 crystal light lemonade to this gallon. You'll have this to drink for a few days. Green tea is really good for you and by using only 1 crystal light packet not too sweet.

100 calorie snacks works for me. Fill up on Fiber One bars (loads of fiber and not too much for calories) maweaver2 what kind of dog is that? He/She looks very similar to our Mutt!!

Congratulations! I was away 3 of the last 3 weeks. It is difficult to maintain eating healthy when you have to eat out, but making some of the right choices helped me to maintain while away. I also bought bottled water to keep in my hotel room, also you may want to try Fiber One bars. Not only are they really tasty, but…

I am feeling great! Keeping track is a wonderful thing. Now I have to go out and buy new pants. The old ones are falling off! What a problem to have! i LOVE that kind of problem. Now an excuse to shop! Thank you all for your well wishes!

I met my first goal of losing 20 pounds! :drinker: Now for the next goal of 20! This site has been a tremendous motivation! :happy:

I have a few suggestions..... Don't limit yourself to just wanting to meet guys.....If you meet more females and network, they may have male friends that they can introduce you to. Also, consider joining your local "Y" and some of the activities they have to offer. Get outside your home and be active in your community. You…

I too had a "BAD" weekend. Was it the moon? My husband also trying to lose weight also had a bad weekend. He insists it is the moon!!!!! I hope so, because it's a new day. Hang in there and get back on track. :bigsmile:

:smile: Welcome..... I think you'll find this tool is a great help in keeping in mind what you're putting into your mouth. I too was shocked to see how much I was eating. Since joining in December I'm down 11 pounds and my husband tells me he can "feel" the difference when he hugs me. You'll find this is a great support…

:laugh: I love it. I thought I'd share with you all sometimes how I feel after overeating and under exercising.....
