Baked chicken cutlets & a salad.

I love avocados. Sometimes I just eat them with little bit of salt. Other times I make a sandwich with avocado and low-fat Greek yogurt. Yes I'm gross. I have also made stuffed mushrooms using avocado, diced tomatoes, and caramelized onions.

Sorry to hijack this thread but… Oh man, I know exactly what you mean about not moving! My fiancé and I moved into our new house when our son was three months old and it was even hard then, after he was born! It was hard for me to get anything done (packing, cleaning, unpacking), but I have to say, my baby was my golden…

I agree with another poster who said that every woman is different. But I will share my own experience anyway. When I got pregnant last July, I was probably in the best physical shape of my life. I was really happy with my body, and I remember I bought this white dress that I wanted to wear to a trip to New Orleans, but I…

During certain phases I will start buying Reese's peanut butter cups LOL I have a major weakness for them! I will buy maybe one or two packages and eat them over 2-3 days. However, I always make sure that they fit into my calorie allotment. I feel that allowing myself to have this once in a while, actually when I really…

What's your eating like? Any high sodium processed foods?

I jumped around all the time, exercising, when I was a renter and had ppl under me. Just give them a heads up... "Hey if you hear crazy jumping, it's just me working out!" What are they gonna say? People have to live. You have to live your life and do what's best for yourself.

I take my four-month-old out jogging with me all the time. And it has been between 80 and 90° here. Of course, if it's too hot I won't go, or I'll go early in the morning when it's cooler. I always put sunscreen on him, but it is the kind that doesn't absorb into the bloodstream. Whenever I jog in direct sunlight I pull…

I used to have back problems that started about four years ago. Either it was caused when I was accidentally dropped on my back when my drunk friend tried to pick me up.... Or it was from very heavy lifting that I was doing at the time. I went to physical therapy and to a chiropractor, neither of which helped me. So I quit…

What you are saying is true as well. What the poster should really do is hire a personal trainer. That's how I learned the most about free weights.

From my experiences at gyms, people don't really look. Most people at the gym are absorbed in their own worlds with their headphones on doing their own things. And just remember that they were once where you are, too. No one was born knowing how to use gym equipment! And plus, if it's any consolation, the weight machines…

Maybe you and your husband can meet somewhere in the middle and make a compromise. While I do agree that you have to be able to adapt to the world around you and deal with the possibility of there always being foods that you would be better off not eating, I also feel that your husband needs to up his support for you.…

A lot of people claim that Beach Body and all of their DVDs/programs overly push for people to buy those shakes. You really don't know what's in them and how they are processed anyway. You're better off buying a blender or a juicer and making your own. Especially if you can find a farmers market that sells veggies and…

Plus, MFP food database can be sketchy sometimes... IMO.

Did you try going to the manufacturer's website? Personally for me, if I were counting carbs, and really wanted to drink that, I would log it as 10 if I was in doubt.

Have you thought about getting the copper IUD? There are no hormones in them. I used to have one and loved it. This is coming from a highly "hormonal" person. I have tried several other forms of birth control that did include hormones and they only made me crazier. I had the copper IUD before I had my boy, so in the event…

Tonight it's pork chops and zucchini on the grill. 5/7 of my dinners are a meat & Vegg.

My fiancé and I go biking on local trails. I am trying to get him to start jogging with me. We also go hiking regularly. As for snacks, maybe you can have some low-calorie popcorn? Or make your own trail mix.you can also buy a food dehydrator and make dried fruit or beef jerky, etc. Just be careful of calories because…

Pizza board? Cool B)

Hey there! I have a four-month-old too, but he's my first. So I understand what you're going through with the baby weight thing. I have 20 pounds to lose to get to my prepregnancy weight then I want to lose another seven. For me personally, I always eat back my exercise calories. If I don't, I get too hungry and put myself…

When that happens to me, I don't even weigh myself because I know it will be counterproductive for me. I'll feel bad about myself and then eat more. Just think that it's in the past, what's done is done, and the only thing you can do now is move forward again. Dwelling on it will not change it. It will only make you nuts!

Thx for your replies everyone :smile:

The inconvenience of traveling out of my bounds just for a pizza isn't even worth it LOL I rarely eat pizza so I think I'm just going to log in as 350 or 400 and try not to obsess about it.

I should just make my own pizza, my mom has a great recipe that I use. Make a bunch and freeze it!

I can't keep any dessert type snacks in my house like cookies or cake or chocolate because I am incapable of eating them in moderation.

Imagining myself reconstructing a pizza. I'm better off making my own pie.

All food establishments should be required to have their nutritional info available to customers... I think we have a right to know what the hell we're eating!

I've had thoughts about removing the mozzarella, weighing it, weighing the bread and counting it as Dough, and putting in at least 75 cal for the sauce and oil LOL but again a lot of pizza places load up their sauce with sugar, parmesan cheese etc. Ughhh

LMAO

Thanks for all The replies so far!
