  • The boyfriend and I are going to splurge on dinner, but I'm making him an EdibleArrangements-esque dessert! I'm going to cut up fruit into heart shapes, skewer 'em, dip some in chocolate, and bam! We can eat the whole thing and not feel nearly as bad as eating a whole box of chocolates!!!! Now it's a matter of what did he…
  • I have a low calorie mayo in my fridge right now - I can't remember the name of it exactly, but I think it's Hellman's. It tastes great and only has like 15 calories for 2 tbsp, which I find is too much on a sandwich!! When I get home I'll try to remember to look, come back, and let you know :D If you love mayo, no reason…
  • Hopefully someone sees this because I'm very much interested...I've heard the TDEE -20% and BMR thing is the healthiest way to go in terms of losing at a regular pace (and reduce flabbyness? Did my brain just make that up?). So I calculated mine, my BMR is 1600, and my TDEE-20% is 1700. So I should be eating anywhere…
  • Holy cow those are huge!!! lol Awesome! Thanks for the photo - love the sprinkles :D
  • Anyone wanna post a picture showing how big the cakes get? I'm imagining a quarter-sized lump! XD
  • I have two jobs. One is at a family entertainment center (Similar to Chuck E Cheese), where I'm either running around the place hosting birthday parties or standing still at the redemption counter. On the days I work birthday parties, I feel I get enough exercise. I the days I work redemption, I will play with the hula…
  • What I hate about my scale is that it's a piece of crap. I have to stand on it five separate times. First it will tell me I'm over, then it will tell me I'm under, then it'll bounce around in between those numbers and I say **** IT and look in the mirror instead. I don't know if it's a cheap thing, if I don't realize I'm…
  • Thanks for the great ideas! I love a heart shaped pizza idea (we love pizza!) and the stuffed mushrooms (yummmm!) We will be going to Melting Pot for fondue as a celebratory "He got the job!" dinner, but otherwise that would have been top on the list!! Thanks again and more are welcome if anyone's got anything more!
  • If you eat one McDonald's meal a day full of empty calories, you are going to be hungry and not lose any weight. or at least fall off the wagon very, very quickly. Stay away from fast food when its possible and when you can't, get the healthier options. Find foods that are filling and nutritious and that you can cook…
  • I'm hoping to get back into one by this summer, but it may have to wait until next summer...We will see! I used to look great in one when I was about 140 lbs, 15 years old (I'm 5'2")...but then I got boyfriend after boyfriend and worked at places with nothing but junk food and have no active hobbies. Now I'm at 170 and…
  • I'll be interested in this as well - I love eating at Wegman's! I never actually grocery shop there, as I find it to be pretty expensive, but for an afternoon with friends it's great because we can all order our own separate things, then meet up at the tables and play (relatively quiet) board games! Super fun and…
  • I agree with both of the above!! I just got a digital kitchen scale that reads out in ounces, grams, or pounds, and that has the tare function....I love tare and use it all the time, it makes it great to place a bowl on the scale, zero it out, and then add the ingredient in the bowl and measure it that way, rather than…
  • For me, it's a financial issue. Once I realized how much money I save by buying groceries and cooking rather than just going out to eat, the dishes didn't look so daunting! I'm a college student with two minimum wage jobs, so it's important for me to save as much money as I can.... Unfortunately cooking does make a huge…
  • Pinkie Pie is my favorite pony!! My boyfriend is more of a Fluttershy guy (which is surprising, since I'm shy and he's outgoing...I guess we just need each other and a pony to balance ourselves out) Feel free to add me!
  • I'd either want to be Rapunzel or Pocahontas. Pocahontas is totally into nature and very athletic, but those winters must get COLD and I can't imagine working day after day in the fields... Rapunzel, on the other hand, is cute and fun and totally skilled with a paintbrush, plus she's mad rich and lives on a beautiful…
  • You've only been at it for a month and a half...I have, too, and there is hardly any difference in how my body looks, but my pants are slipping down and the scale is telling me I'm 8 pounds lighter. Fat burning isn't instantaneous, and you are your biggest critic - you see your body every day and don't notice the gradual…
  • Considering how broke I am from Christmas shopping, if exercise paid me more then $5 an hour, I'd be at the gym constantly. Incidentally, I've heard there's an app out there that really does pay you for going to the gym...but if you don't go, you have to pay up - and then your money goes to the people that DID go to the…
  • Oh, my goodness. This sounds amazing and it looks adorable!! Totally trying it tomorrow!
  • We were just at Disney in January, and I love their dining plan!!! We just did the quick service plan which was more than enough for us. We bought our breakfast each day (just a bagel or muffin to get us going) and used the meals for lunch and dinner, plus our snacks whenever we wanted. Those quick service meals keep you…
  • I'm going to stop with the Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice (once they are gone from my fridge!) and try some of those Skinny Girl Cocktails instead...we'll see how that goes!
  • Sounds like you are relying a lot on working out when it comes to losing weight, but I don't see anything in there about your eating habits... Diet is a huge part of weight loss, so be sure to watch what you're eating and weight loss will be much, much easier! As for exercise, I am not big on going to the gym AT ALL! But I…
  • Feel free to add me! My battletag is vulpix#1954...ive got a Lvl 50 demon hunter and a Lvl 18 barbarian. I wont be on in the next week (vacation!) But after that ill be back for good!
  • I drink a huge glass of water! If its really persistent even after the water, I will eat something small like a cheese stick. Otherwise I have a bad stomachache the next day. Never let yourself starve, just be smart about your snacking!
  • Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
  • I'm a little late to the party but I'm in Hamburg! Feel free to add me :)
  • I never have trouble finding enough sleep. My problem is that I get too much of it! If I allow myself to wake up naturally, I find that I end up getting ten hours of sleep. It seems like anything less than nine or ten hours makes me feel like I only got five. I wish I wasn't like this, because I like to enjoy the mornings…
  • Some restaurants may not post their nutrition information publicly but will have a chart in the back that, if you request, they must show you. Not sure if this is true for locally owned restaurants but then again they know the food better and might be able to give you a pretty good guess. Other than that I just break down…
