I read all day long at work....:love: There is so much information that I pic up every day.

I have orange Stoli and diet sprite once in a while. Log it, know that in the bar situation often comes the bad food. I see no problem with it. Just count it and make sure you drink lots of water before,after, and during.

I do so I know whether or not I ate well or consumed all my calories in pasta!:bigsmile:

I was going to suggest Sprite zero but that has aspertame in it. thats what i use with my Orange stoli..:drinker:

NEPA here! Trying to get more in shape rather than concerned with lbs lost. So far have lost almost 12 lbs looking to lose about 20 more and about 5 inches off waist would be great! Welcome to MFP!

I have the chocolate every morning for breakfast. DO NOT DRINK IT WARM>>>Ewww. I would rather get 12 can for the price of 6 Slimfast.. I use it some times for other meals when I am on the run but mostly just for breakfast. Love it

There is sodium in some fruit. You need to check it out. I don't know what type of berry's but i just looked at this website and was amazed myself. http://www.dietbites.com/Sodium-In-Foods/sodium-in-fruit.html So what did they pick the highest sodium fruit to put in their medley????

Thats awesome. I can see so much difference! Sometimes it does take pictures to make it real,either good or bad.

:yawn:

That is so totally awesome! Its amazing what you think that you can't do when in fact you can!

Give me me some roasting coffee beans...hmmm love the smell but oh ya gag me if you ask me to drink it.

I guess that didn't come out right. Sure I still need my sleep but I am no longer feeling like I need a nap at 2 pm and I can actually stay up till 10 without becoming mrs. Grouch. I just meant that I feel better and am not so tired.

Yeah haven't watched the movie but the book was great. Same with Twilight. Movies-OK (Kellan Lutz :blushing: ) But books always better. My ideal chick flick is AVENGERS! can we just say hot stuff Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth? :love:

^^ This and also, if Hubby is just eating away I will pull out 5 chips or whatever half a serving is so that I had some yet I am not sitting with the bag in my lap.

Many people seem to stop losing on the scale and yet their clothes are getting loose. Scales lie as you will hear many times. Try measuring.

A lot of people seem to do well doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. You may not lose lbs but inches and I think that in your case you want to change shape/tone. Its worth giving it a try. I am going to start on it myself.

Depends on the resturant. We go out to Ruby Tuesday often and I usually choose something labeled the F&T. (fit and trim) They list the calories on the menu for those items. If we go to the local bar/resturant I try to pick out healthier things and then come on here and estimate high..lol If it is a chain a lot of them have…

Who needs a scale when your clothes are looser??

Mine is a one piece with a skirt to hid my thighs. It has very nice cleavage and shows off my skinny high waist..lol You just have to try different styles.

OH thanks! Very smart idea!

:bigsmile:

My 4.5 yr is the same way. I have told her that i am trying to get healthier like her. (she eats practically nothing but veggies). She patted her tummy and asked if she needed to watch her calories and i said definitely not! You are perfect just the way you are. But I explained why there were no more chips/cookies in the…

We cook on the grill most every night when its hot but then I want the potato salad and Macaroni salad that goes with the grilling....GRRR.

Most of that is what you are supposed to do anyway. Eat healthy, non processed food Drink lots of water Excercise. That promotes a healthy lifestyle, and as a bonus, gets you in the skinny jeans.

My opinion is this: Try to work out more consistantly. If you only work out 2 times a week and try to spread those out it will be harder for you to track your calories efficiantly on here unless you are using some other spreadsheet to track weekly calories. Otherwise every day is going to say that you are over on your…

I get how you feel. I just last week was realizing that i was slipping into my old bad eating habits. Sometimes you just have to give yourself a mental shake and ask what you want from yourself. By eating the bad stuff do you want to go back to feeling sluggish both in body and mind? Some times you just have to take a…

I try to make biggest meal dinner because we eat at 6-6:30 pm and I am starved by 9 and can't go to sleep if I haven't had enough to eat .

I did the zumba express basic dvd, its 20 min, done and over. NO one cares what you look like. I had to modify some of the moves because I was doing it on carpet and couldn't slide. No one cares! LOL Keep moving how ever and when ever you can. Can you split it up into 10 min walks or something during the day? Say like 3-4…

I know with doing zumba that the more I did it, the less calories I burned do to getting more efficient at it. My heart rate wouldn't get nearly as high as it did when I started. Better to be on the low side of calories burned for now until you get your heart rate monitor then to think that you burned 500 and you really…

Yep gotta get my game back on. I thought I was on the right track mentally but I am finding that I am starting to sabatoge myself and I am trying to stop it before it gets out of control.
