You look like the heavier girl's daughter. I started out at 235 originally and it's amazing HOW DIFFERENT we can look! And you're gorgeous btw! Keep up the great work!

BUMP BUMP :drinker: Keep the advice coming! Thank you! :flowerforyou:

I'd go with the machine just because it measures how vigorously you're working out... but yeah... heart monitors are the most accurate.

Thanks for doing the calcs on 4 servings and putting in the food diary! This sounds Yummo! And super easy!

Do you enter age and weight into the machine?

Wow stealing AND binging?! You're BAD in your dreams! lol :laugh:

Did you realize how wildly popular this idea would be when you started it, Goblin?:laugh: You could probably start a whole weight loss program using colors with your own trademarked scales and color charts and make millions!

Now I'm craving chocolate in 2 diametrically opposed ways!!!!! :laugh: Lol and there may not be anybody that gets that... but it was funny in my head.

Mine usually involve lots of pizza and desserts. Mmm....:love:

Tofu is labeled "extra firm", "firm", "soft", etc so you don't have to try to mush it and guess or anything. :laugh:

Firm or Extra Firm Tofu is thick and spongey and slightly greyish-white and it's packed in water because it has to stay moist. If you don't use a whole package in one sitting, you need to put the extra (uncooked) in tupperware, cover it with fresh water, and keep it in your fridge. As far as where in the store to find it,…

I usually buy extra firm and pan-fry it in a little coconut oil, then add frozen veggies to the pan, and once they're cooked through add ginger, dry mustard, soy sauce... stuff like that, and eat over brown rice. You can also grill it. Soft Tofu is for smoothies.

What's making you frustrated?

Somebody needs to put together a master list again!

Oh yes! Good point! Water, water, water! :drinker:

Make sure all your grains are whole - whole wheat bread that has as the first ingredient "STONE-GROUND WHOLE WHEAT", brown rice, whole wheat pasta... you get the idea. And just eat lots of clean whole foods - fruits, veggies, beans, and whole grains are all packed with fiber. It's the fake "foods" people make in a test…

Weight fluctuates (as you know) so keep up your hard work and see where you are next week. You're doing the right things and WOO HOO for down another pound!!!! :drinker: Think of it that way!

The REALLY funny part is the fact that the muffin may have just as many calories!!! lol :laugh:

Oh and somebody said 150-155 should be magenta. :)

Glad to know I'm not the only one bored at work. :laugh: I feel like I'm on the show "The Office". :laugh: So i did some research on obscure colors.... lol My favorites are: flavescent which is yellowish or turning yellow piceous which is like pitch; inflammable; reddish black zinnober which is chrome green stramineous…

Oooo Aqua! That's a good one!

245 - 250 has been claimed as hot pink....:ohwell: But how would you feel about magenta? Or just... pink? Edit: Whoops! Magenta is already taken too! We need an art student!!! lol

Get more workout time eat and eat very very light for dinner. Think: steamed veggies, salad with no cheese or dressing, low-cal soups

That would make weighing in more fun!

Can 165-170 be "chocolate". That's a GREAT color... :bigsmile: :laugh:

Minestrone soup is only 100 calories per bowl. I usually get the unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks but don't eat the breadsticks... or maybe have 1 for 150 calories (usually not worth it to me). I'll eat a couple bowls of minestone and get my salad without cheese, croutons, or dressing... ask for vinegar and/or lemon…

You forgot Navy Blue @ 270-275. And periwinkle is 145-150. :)

Yeah I probably wouldn't have rolled my window down for you either. :laugh: I'd be driving off scared! :embarassed: Glad you didn't get hit! Seriously. It's a tough world out there for runners!

Gender: Female Height: 5' 9" ORIGINAL starting weight: 235 (before weight watchers a few years ago... got down to 149) Current weight: 171 Calorie budget: 1370 + I eat all my exercise calories... NORMALLY earn them 5 or 6 days per week.

Oh don't worry... it's red for women and lemon lime for men. It's a complex system...
