grapefruit & hard boiled egg

LOL! That is great! My 1 year old loves eating dog food. That is when he breaks into the dog eating area.

Only food (if you want to call it that) that I get at McHeartAttack is chipotle wraps grilled. If you want a hamburger or crave beef get 90% beef and turkey and buns. Fries should be avoided at all cost and chugging soda. Your money can go a lot longer going to a grocery store and prepping yourself.

31 workouts in 31 days, Walking on light days - Just starting exercise so hopefully the force will be with me!

Well Done! Congrats! Really looking forward to getting under 200 on my end! We have similar start and target goals but you are far ahead of me. Friend me if you like.

great job! i just started using MFP and we have close starting weights. Friend me if you like.

You all ROCK!

I can really relate. I have a difficult time fitting it all in my schedule. I'm going to try running with my oldest daughter to start and I'm looking at using http://www.c25k.com/. I'm 37 at 220 and want to get down to 180. Friend me if you like since we have similar goals. I've struggled with a really busy office schedule…

No! Stick with your MFP plan. Rapid weight loss by starving is not fun, unhealthy, and when you stop the weight will come back quickly.

Great Job! We have the exact weight goal and I also have 3 kids but I'm not near as good of shape as you. I just started but if you want to friend me that would be cool. I also have a blog http://csflabtoiron.blogspot.com/

Go for a long jog or walk to clear your mind!

Great Job and Congrats on passing your trainer exam! MFP really helps me with the moderation.

way to go! well done!

Awesome! Great Job!

Last week 1 night I woke up in the middle of the night and had 1.5 cups of chex and a little 1% milk. After eating I laid down abd asked "what the hell did I just do?" I don't fall sleep if I'm hunger before bed. If hungry before bed I eat 100% cal microwave popcorn and a grapefruit. Seems to do the trick for me. Be…

Awesome! When I get my weight down 40 pounds I will def feel that will be my next big ending goal!

If you don't eat chocolate or candy for a couple weeks then eat fruit it will become your new sweet food (especially pineapple).

Wendy's Salads are okay, vege 6 inch - subway, and grilled chipotle raps from McDonalds. I don't eat out anymore but if I had to that is the way I would go. On surprising thing is the chipotle burrito is like 1300 calories - almost what i eat in a day

Coming from congress I'm not surprised. What a bunch of Jack Wagons!

On big weekly shopping-Groceries: Frozen vegetables Fruit (Apples, Grapefruit) - Bananas tend to be cheapest Meat when on Sale (Turkey, Chicken breast - boneless skinless), Beef 90% lean White Bread, Multi Grain Bread Eggs Milk 1%, Whole for baby Rice Chex or some sort of cereal but be really careful with portions when…

I eat a hard boiled egg each morning and a grapefruit Making hard boiled eggs (for 3 to 6 days): 1) Put 6 eggs in water. Water 1 inch above eggs 2) Get water to boil 3) Turn stove temp to simmer / low and cover Pot 4) 15 minutes Cook 7) Put eggs in cold water to cool and then into fridge Server Salt and Pepper :-)

Don't eat Junk Food! I try and avoid chips, chocolate, ice cream, cookies, candy If its from the earth its good. If you cut out junk food for a while (couple weeks) fruit will become your new candy. I don't believe in not eating fruit. The thing you have to watch out for is Juice. On occasion especially with kids you have…

Not expecting this but I have Gout which can cause very painful problems with my feet. I know for me if the shoes are to tight I can have problems. I simply cannot wear Nike because they are for a narrow foot. In my case brooks seem the best. As recommend above may want to get your shoes checked out at a solid runner shoe…

Great Post! Many moons ago one of the great lessons I learned in High School sports for life was "Never Say Can't". My swim coach made us swim a mile every time we Said I Can't! Talk about reinforcing having a positive attitude.
