So it encouraged me to drink another galas of wine

get my jeans on without laying on the bed

It's difficult conjuring up the discipline again.

yes. and I do that. We eat out a lot. it's helpful to look at the menu and identify the big ticket items before you sit at the table. I haven't been to Olive Garden for years. I used to work there. I think they have the kcal right on the menu. Those f-ing bread-sticks!

I threw away my scale years ago because It makes me crazy. I can't base my self worth on a number daily. I weigh myself at work ( a hospital) and try to hold it down to twice a week. I measure my success by how well I stick to my meal plan.

Thanks Everyone! That was helpful,

make smart choices. Grilled anything. vegetarian entries are good. I try to plan the meal before I get there (like with sushi) and look up the foods on MPF. I found out I can have the sushi but the sake is a big ticket item.

Thanks!!

I have returned to MFP after getting great results last time. I log daily and have an Open Diary and would like friends that do the same. I

Steel cut oatmeal, you can pre-make it and heat in the AM, add fresh fruit, any kind. Yes on Banana pancakes: crush up one banana and 2 eggs cook it a nonstick pan. Delicious but cook a little longer than you think on low heat. I love Fage and fresh fruit as well.

I make a curry dry rub with Madras curry powder, dried ginger, coriander, sea salt, cumin and black pepper. i rub on thin sliced chicken breast and grill it on the bbq. I serve in with chopped papaya mixed with a little fresh raspberry, OMG it is delicious with rice. you get the Curry flavor and the fruit gives it the…

Because all that exercise makes us hungry! Its the beauty of this program, you get to choose and not feel deprived.

Spice rub chicken. Make a dry spice rib of your choice in bulk and use it. I like madras Curry powder, garlic powder, ginger, salt, ground pepper, red chille powder. Rub it on the meat, broil or grill (7-8 minutes). this is delicious topped with fresh chopped mango or papaya and fresh basil.

I love steel cut oatmeal. Put in any fruit after its cooked like berries, bananas, peaches, papaya... if I am using apples or dried fruit (craisins!), I add them about 4 minutes before the porridge is done. Delicious and very satisfying. You can also make it the day before and reheat in the microwave, Kids like it with…

Totally eat then back unless you are not hungry. I usually use my excursus calorie for extras, like wine.

I count water as water, and ice, which is is frozen water. Not coffee, not tea, not light beer. I am am all for those beverages, but if your going toto trouble of counting water, count H20.

Lost Six Feet Under, Th Event (haha)

Trader Joe's "just a handful Almonds, Cashew's and Cranberries" Very satifsying. Ditto on the Skinny Coe Icecream dsandwich.

Bendryl can make you sleepy. i would try zyrtec or claritn (both ocer the counter and generic available). Look at what you ar ewearing. it could be the fabric and softner. what is different on leg day? I could be just from externally irritating your skin...that's what the skin writing is...and it pretty beneign. (RN) also…

In and Out. Fresh nevr frozen. I think its the closest hon gto "clean" fast food. if there were such a thing.

So far you have some goo advice here.! These are the rules. 1. Work everyday but for a short time. 2. always end with a success. If they aren't successful. it is too hard move back a step/ 3. It is much much easier to teach them to DO somethign than NOT DO something. For example. Its hard to teach them not to run out the…

I started this program and within a week took a cross country driving trip then 1 week in the Ozarks then flew back home. My husband didn't think I could stick with my then 1200 a day, but I did. Make good choices ALL DAY. A beer with lunch can make the rest of your day go poorly. Most restaurants...even fast food are able…

Do- Wipe machines before and after. Wash your hands when you get there and when you leave Don't- Cell phone, perfume, sitting on machines/benches chatting. I go to a small gym, it is customary to smile and say hello if you have seen the person more than a few times, but no long conversations, most of us are there with a…

you are a good sport!

It is more difficult to lose noe than when I was 30 that's for sure. MFP is a good way to go. You can eat anything, you just have to make good choices. It doesn't happen overnight either, My favorite feature is at the end fo the day It tells me what I can accomplish if I am consistent for 5 weeks. I have never miss a mark.…

I just deleted someone who has too many friends. I want something more personal. I don't want tobe one of 900.

Pitcher when you mean picture.

Love the "simply a handful of Almonds, Cashews and Cranberries". Pre portioned, these have save my life. I have a bunch in the trunk of my car for "post workout fade" or just "waited too long to eat". I have had one for Breakfast in a pinch. Be cautious of the prepared salads, sometimes they look like a calories bargin…

Yhis combied with "no worries" is one of my favorites.
