Switching the Mayo for thousand Island dressing is a better choice (54Cals per TBSP) and has more flavor. Also the bread in Europe is not made the same way as bread here in the US. The coarser grain bread and the thin slices are more popular, and have a higher fiber content. In Germany, they tend to have open-face…

Most people have a hard time believing that I have a 23 year old son. I haven't been asks for my ID in a bar for at least 10 years so I think I pass the 30 year old look by now. How old would you think I am?

A nice mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich where the mutton is nice and lean... How would we log that one?

I think some of you may be missing the point. The point that the poster is making is that the citizens now have NO CHOICE in the fries that they eat. Americans, imagine the Olympics coming to your town and all the restaurants in the area are no longer allowed to prepare their own brand of fries. After a long day of…

I have always been busty. I was one of the first to develop in my youth. I lost 45 pounds so far and I went (american sizes) from a 46DD to a 38C. I am right on the edge of dropping down to a B size. One of the girls is ready for a B but the other girl is still a C. I have 15 more pounds to drop so we will see where they…

One of the things no one has mentioned yet is a food saver machine. I buy my meat on sale, scale out portions and then individually freeze the portions. I can then pull what I want from the freezer and know it is exactly right. also great when I am going to a BBQ. I just grab mu portion and bring it to throw on the grill.…

I get Fage Plain. I add my own stevia for sweetness/flavoring, with nuts/granola/fruit...YUM!

The only oatmeal I eat are the steel cut like in the picture above. They are the best for texture and flavor. They also tend to have a higher fiber count than the instant.

Be sure to log everything. ;) No cheating! Do not drink diet soda or any soda at all. It tends to stall you. Be sure to drink a detox tea to cleanse your bowels. Give yourself a challenge: Don't eat anything from a box or bag! This means eating fresh fruits & Veggies, Meat from the Butcher counter. Buy fresh bread baked in…

Looking at the resources for the research, everything, with the exception of one article, was done in the 1990's or before. Also, after reading the research from the most recent article was dated 2004, the type of exercise was not stated, and the LPL indicator that they were measuring stated that there was no change for…

Why not try something different like joining a Marshal Arts class. Aikido is a great workout.

For people with kids: In the winter I would load the kids in the stroller and hit the mall before the stores open (the mall opened 1 hour before the stores) with other moms trying to get a bit of exercise and chat time. Then the kids played at the play ground while I stretched. I would then treat them to story time at the…

Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. If I were having pain, then I would go see a foot specialist to see if an orthotic is necessary.

For a variation: Spray a mini-muffin pan with cooking spray and line each with a wonton, pressing to bottom and sides. Bake at 350 degree oven until crisp (8 minutes). The wontons are now a little bowl that you can fill with your favorite chicken salad recipe, or mini tacos, or cream cheese filling (Try adding lingonberry…

Who wants a story? Good! I just got back from a Zumba party at a local night club. I had a great time. I danced for 2.5 hours straight! I invited a friend and her fiancee to come along. Now you must picture them. She is a size 2 and seems to be in great shape. He is probably a size 8 and lifts weight. They both line dance…

Depends on how much cooking you do. I have a great food processor so I didn't need the food processor part.

I like the ninja better. The motor is stronger than the bullet, and it has many good reviews.

@Beeps: So glad you are feeling better! Sorry your workplace is not so friendly.

I think what we are referring to is that muscle is more dense than fat. So instead of saying, "muscle weighs more than fat," can we all agree to say that "muscle is more dense than fat?" That should make everyone happy!

I have lost 58lbs and I have some loose skin on the belly and back. I find that if I loofa and use cocoa butter creme that my skin is quicker to rejuvenate. I also use Vitamin E oil on my stretch marks. The results are not immediate, but I can see a difference. Also, no smoking! Smoking and skin do not mix!

I just bought 3 bras from VS. The woman who helped to fit me was very helpful. Every style was a different fit. The best thing to do is try them on! I was a hard fit because my right girl is a D but my left girl is a C! I am right between sizes. I will be losing more weight, but I will go back to VS in the future because…
