Hi Huntersmommy! I'm Hunter's mommy too :happy: My Hunter is 14 years old now and will be starting high school next year but he is still my baby. You will love this site, great tools, great people. Welcome. :flowerforyou:

great article, thanks for posting. :smile:

Definately try Asparagus, mmmmm, my favorite. ROASTED ASPARAGUS 1 1/2 lbs. fresh asparagus, trimmed 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp. salt Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Spread asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and roast the asparagus in the upper third of the…

Why wait? Start now! Running is the best way to burn calories. Sign up for a 5k race to get you motivated. Good luck you can do it! :flowerforyou:

It's a running workout schedule that takes you off the couch and up to running a 5k. there are many links if you google it but here is a good explanation: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

It can be fun to run in the rain as long as it's not lightning, i wear a baseball hat to keep the water from dripping in my eyes :happy: I took the day off it was 80 and sunny here today, went swimming in the morning and ran in the late afternoon, it's now after dinner and i still have over 400 calories to eat but I'm not…

9lbs is alot to lose in one week, don't know how you did it but good for you!! Just don't get discouraged if you don't see that everyweek. 1lb/week is much healthier way to lose. :flowerforyou:

depends if this is a one time thing or have you found a trend of his acting this way? Mistrust is not the way to start a marriage. Think long and hard, it is much easier to end a relationship before marriage than after. You are a beautiful girl and should be treated with respect, if he doesn't respect you now, it will get…

step up your jogging to running, try the couch to 5k program. Running is the best way to lose fat, although if it is just skin sagging there is not much to do about that. You can work on your abs but the excess skin will only go away with a tummy tuck.

i messaged amanissto, no response, hope everything is ok :frown:

too funny Candace! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good Luck on your journey. :flowerforyou:

Take a long hike so you can have a s'more!! Actually 1 s'more is only 139 calories, so it's really not that bad. :wink:

Amazing Omlette in a Bag In a ziplock sandwich bag, put enough of your favourite omelette fillings for 1 serving: onion, veggies, chopped ham, cheese, salsa, etc. Add 2 raw eggs. Zip the bag and shake to mix thoroughly. Drop bag in boiling water and cook for about 13 minutes. Open the bag and out slides your omelette. Can…

Save some money for alterations!! Sounds like you will have to have it taken in!! :flowerforyou: Great Job, congrats! :smile:

Welcome, you will love this site, the tools are great and so are the people! :smile: Try not to think of it as a diet but a lifestyle change. Did your Dr. put you on 1000 calories?? That is very low, the lowest i think mfp suggests is 1200. Read the threads about starvation mode.…

hubbie and I went on a 39 mile bike ride this morning, what a beautiful day here, rode to lake michigan , stopped to admire the view and then back home. :smile: Burned 2000 calories! not sure how I am going to eat all those :ohwell:

I changed my goal to 1lb a week but mfp still says 1200 calories?

awesome!! Congrats! running is addictive! :wink: :flowerforyou:

well i think i am down .25 lbs, hard to tell since i don't have a digital scale, last week it was to the right of 150 now it's on the left. :laugh: Yesterday was a bad day for me to overeat before the weigh in! My arm stretches are working as my Frozen Shoulder is beginning to thaw, my rotation is better and I can even…

better than drinking and smoking! :glasses:

they get what they deserve exploiting their children like that. i refuse to watch.

I think we just did :smile: My Frozen Shoulder is finally starting to thaw and was able to swim 50 yards freestyle yesterday. Think I will signup for 1st tri June 27th, http://warsawoptimist.org/pages/triathlon.htm May end up having to swim breastroke most of the way but that's ok. :ohwell:

Go shopping and try on some clothes and bathing suits!! Always good motivation for me. :flowerforyou: You will get through this, call a friend, take a nice hot bath, maybe you just need to pamper yourself in other ways besides eating. :flowerforyou:

are you doing cardio at the gym, getting your heart rate up and sweating, best way to burn calories. Mix it up at the gym with weights and cardio.

Dave's menu is a good example! :smile: Nothing processed

I am sure I am not a perfect example and I am not a clean eater but here is what I ate today: Breakfast: Coffee quaker oats fiber bar Lunch: hamburger patty(no bun), 1 cup strawberries(+1/2 tsp sugar), 2 glasses water Dinner: Chicken Quesadilla, water Dessert: a piece angelfood cake. water Snack: still have calories for a…

start logging your food and you'll be amazed where that takes you and how it opens your eyes. This site has some amazing tools and people, enjoy! :flowerforyou:

It's running if you break a sweat and get your heart rate up. I consider a jog as something easier, doesn't matter the speed. This is awesome that you enjoy all conditions, I love to run in the snow, the only caution is in the winter be careful of the ice. :smile:

mfp already includes those calories by what type of normal daily activity level you chose. I only count true excercise that gets your heart rate pumping and causes me to break a sweat. Like I normally don't mow the lawn so when I do that I count it, because I break a sweat. But doing the laundry and such I don't count, no…

Have her watch the show 'Cooking Yourself Thin' they teach you how to cut the calories on everyday recipes. Great show!
