  • Y-E-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I get the premier nutrition @ Costco for about $26 for 18 (they are already mixed for you!)
  • Premier Nutrition.....they are amazing. Sometimes I have one as a "treat" they are so good!
  • Yep...absolutely a water baby!
  • Crystal Light makes me soooo thirsty that I quit drinking it so personally I would not count it as water. That;s just me....:blushing: I am one of the few who CANNOT live without water. I drink it constantly during the day and have even had to wean myself off at night so I am not constantly waking up and heading to the…
  • I use it the same way that I use ground beef. Im not a vegetarian so I don't have any fantastic recomendations for use as a staple ingredient. You should check out the vegetarian message boards and you might be able to get soem great recipes from them. If you find something yummy, please share with us.
  • When I was modeling, I did the no-carb thing and as you mentioned, it is really hard to stay on for any long term period of time. You kind of answered the question yourself. This site is a tool for a "lifestyle" change, not a diet. The problem with a diet is that it is usually meant to be followed until you reach your…
  • Clear out your cabinets of "trigger" foods for now, get a food scale (it will be your best friend...I promise), and start reading labels when you shop. If you have time, really take some time to explore this site and it's message boards. You will be amazed at the amount of information and support you will find on MFP.…
  • I got mine at Ross for $16. I love it. i don't know how I ever survived without it before.
  • You should be getting hungry often. That means that your metabolism is in full swing. Instead of just celery, why not pair it with a laughing cow wedge, peanut butter, or a yogurt. Protien will help you feel full longer. Get off the cliff mama, and head straight to the dairy section. Try to think about how good you felt…
  • I try to eat as clean as I can but I don't think that it negates the need to count calories. Also wanted to add thet there is a great magazine called "Clean Eating" that is full of recipes and tips that might be right up your alley. Good luck.
  • Take a few cookies home with you. You wont be tempted to overdo it if you only have a small amount at your fingertips. Have a sensible dinner and the cookies as a dessert. If you keep fighting it you are going to fail but if you set yourself up for success (have a SERVING) then your overall goal will not suffer. OR you can…
  • We are the same way. Awesome at the gym and our diets through the week and come friday...look out. The only thing that has helped us is the tightening of the budget. :blushing: We have tried to limit ourselves to going out one day a weekend (Sunday for football). In addition. we just started going to the gym together on…
  • Having been sick all week, I ONLY wanted juice. I settled for the tropicana 50. It's not quite the same as a regular orange juice but it is pretty close.
  • Back from my death bed...and a playoff game...lighter! I'm 171.4 this week. I drank all of my water, went to the gym 2 days, and stayed within (or under) my calorie goals 5 out of the 7 days. The result- Im down 1.6 lbs. Just what MFP promised. :happy:
  • I don't think that it is a huge deal to go over on protien. I do it all of the time...even on cheat days! It's better than going over on fat. :laugh:
  • I use a either molly mcbutter or....gulp....soy sauce and garlic powder. The sodium is a bit high but it is soooooo good.
  • Not to mention that it's cheaper to make your sammie at home! Easier on your thigh's and youe wallet. That's what I call multi-tasking. :laugh:
  • That's my height, thats my current weight, and that is my goal weight! Hello body twin!
  • This sounds awesome!!!! I'm going to give it a try on Friday. Thanks for sharing!
  • There is actually a magazine called cooking for one. I think that it is published by Taste Of Home. Look it up online and you should be able to find it.
  • My whole household is running a fever today, yrt i pulled myself out of bed to weigh in. I'm at 173.0 today. (I would like to chalk up a pound of that to chest congestion :wink:
  • Most of the television line up in our house consists of Top Chef, Iron Chef, Chopped, Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations", Man v. Food, and anything else that food network has to offer. The other two channels that get air time here is ID (Investigation Discovery) and the "Sleuth" channel. Nothing like watching someone…
  • Salmon is not a bad thing. It's got a higher calorie count then say...chicken breast but it is full of nutrients and omega 3"s that you wont get from another protien. As a side note, I have been eating salmon for dinner about 4x's a week for the last 10 days and the difference in my skin and hair is unbelievable. So that…
  • ALWAYS- Chicken, shrimp, salmon, eggs, bananas, romaine, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, skim milk, seasonal fruit, and a good red wine. SOMETIMES- filet (or other lean red meat if it is on sale), low sodium deli meat, frozen dinners (for quick lunches), and baked tortilla chips & salsa or pretzles. * It really depends what…
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Let us know how much your car "weighs". :wink:
  • I listen to Tool and Chevelle at the gym...and at home :wink: , but if Im lifting I also add some mudvayne or korn (very motivating). Ironically, I find the cardio time goes the fastest when I bring a school book to read. I cover the timer and by the time I finsh a chapter (mind you it is heavy material so I have to…
  • I really just want to say thank you again. It is no easy task to organize so many individuals and keep up on all of the changes (all on your own time). I appreciate it, and I can bet that the other members do as well. Thank you so much! :heart:
