I don't like to cook - so here is an alternative. I roast. I line the baking sheet with the foil, so no need to clean up, and put anything on it - veggies, chicken, fish. Sprinkle some olive oil and some spices or sauce and in 20 - 30 min the food is ready. Minimum effort and the food tastes great and is healthy.

I have off days once in a while. I still count calories on those days, just out of curiosity - I want to know how much more I ate. Surprisingly it is not that much more, especially if I work out before. I suggest you do eat as usually that day and do not save the calories for the evening, so you don't binge later on. And…

I go for calories. But to be able to eat enough, I have noticed that I pick the healthier foods. I am not big fan of chicken breast but since I started MPF I am eating whole lot of it instead of steaks and burgers. I do love vegetables so I eat salads and steamed veggies with chicken breast. I roast it in the oven on…

I eat small breakfast and then at about 9:00 or 10:00 I have a snack - sugar snap peas, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, 1-2 eggs. Then I have a large salad with olive oil and balsamic or regular vinegar and grilled or roasted chicken breast, which I make myself on the weekend. I don't always have afternoon snack, butt if I do…

I have lost 5 lb my first month. I do exercise so the loss is not that big because I also gain the muscle weight. I have lost 9 lb since I started on March 22nd. I am very happy with that. I go over my calories pretty much every weekend but that helps me stay on track. If I make some drastic limitations and deny myself the…

I have been doing lunges and running for a long time and YES the thighs are bigger. I like the way the look when they are slim but they will get bigger just like biceps or triceps when you work with weights. This is just a the way the muscles are. If you don't want your thighs to get bigger cut down on lunges and try…

Why cheat if the only person you are cheating is You. I log every little bite. Even if I have a spoon of ice creamer from from my son's bowl, or the creamer I put in my coffee, I will log it. You will be surprise how much calories a bite here or there will add. So I log it all. I'd rather see how much over I go sometimes,…

You look Great! Don't pay any attention to those people. You know now that the weight will go away and you will look so good, they will envy you. You will.

Mon 04/02/12 02:29 PMHere is my take on this - I log everything I eat, even the little bites here and there. But if I go over my 1200 allowed calories, I do not overreact. I figure if I wasn't counting calories, I would probably eat more then 2000 without even knowing about it, so I would rather know that I went 200 or…

oops wrong post

I buy boneless skinless chicken breast, season with whatever spices I have and pop in the oven for 25 min at 400F. I use it all week to make salads, sandwiches, wraps. I buy red pepper, lettus cherry tomatoes. Also I cook several eggs for the week. Then I just keep mixing thing all week so it does not get boring. I use…

I also get the rotting banana and '5 foods' adds. I recently bought some exercise videos on line so I get a lot of adds on protein shakes and weight loss pills.

About dietary tips - I bake chicken breast on the weekends and then eat it throughout the week with salad, or roasted vegetables. And if I go over my calory limit I just go for a walk for an hour. I also bought some exercise videos and try those. You don't have to do everything they do on there, just do your best. And to…
