I don't have mine yet, but I did some research and finally decided on the watch that reads your EKG. It's continuous. You don't have to stop to take your heart rate. You don't have to tap it. And you don't have to worry about wearing the chest strap. (I am very buxom and the strap would end up being incredibly…

Walking! Absolutely free and it's a start! You can even walk in place while watching tv. Also, if you have access to a local swimming pool, that would be a lot less stressful on your joints and would be a killer workout for you. Some local schools have a swimming pool membership that doesn't cost that much. You can do it!…

I think maybe you're seeing something different than what I am, because the topic I posted says: "Sauce to Replicate Smart Ones Creamy Rigatoni w/Broccoli & Chicken" Maybe you ran into a MFP glitch?

Someone else posted this, so I can't take credit - but it's gotten good reviews and I'm going to make these with my daughter this weekend! Peanut Butter Popcorn Balls 9 servings 98 calories per serving 5 c popped popcorn ¼ c honey ¼ c creamy peanut butter Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put popcorn in a large pan (like a…

You can thank my Canadian-French heritage for this one! :laugh: Salmon Pie: Make mashed potatoes to taste (~4-5 large potatoes) Mix in 2 pouches of pink salmon Option 1: spread potato/salmon mixture into a bread/loaf pan to make more of a salmon "loaf" and bake for 30 minutes (~360 degrees) Option 2: buy pillsbury pre-made…

I am definitely going to try this this weekend! Thanks for sharing.

-Popcorn (you can microwave kernels in a brown "lunch" bag) then control what goes on top -Chex rice cereal (gluten-free) -Suar-free Jello pudding -Rice krispie treats (not the healthiest, but the calories won't kill your progress) -Oatmeal

This sounds so awesome! I have a tight space in our living room... but I manage. :happy:

I had a weigh-in of 158.8 this week. :wink:

I LOVE my electronic gadgets and gizmos. Having the mobile form of this on my ipod touch is what really helped me. I was able to take it with me and make decisions based on what food was in front of me. I have it with me at all times and when I see food I immediately think IPOD! If you're on a meal plan at school it's…

I would love to know more about those protein no bake cookies! And I love CLIF Mini Bars for a between lunch and dinner snack. Only 100 calories and it's organic.

-Rice boiled in low sodium broth instead of water -Baked potato with a little seasoned salt and some sprays of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter -Mash cauliflower and mix it with some mashed potatoes (they're white so they blend in together. He'll never know!) -Bake potato wedges in some olive oil, crushed garlic (or garlic…

Weighed myself on Saturday.... 158.8.... Whooooo hooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!

Have you ever tried a mini-trampoline or resistance bands or a balance ball or a speed jump rope? All items that aren't too expensive and can fit down the hall! As others have mentioned, workout DVDs or Wii games are great. Also, a lot of chains have their nutritional info on their websites so if you can't find it on MFP,…

I totally allowed myself to indulge over the holidays and am proud that I managed to get back on track afterwards. If I can do it, you can do it! I'm a big fan of Wii exercise like Zumba, Just Dance 2, Walk it Out. They definitely help when you have to stay indoors. Plus I only have lower-calorie snacks to surround myself…

I did Body for Life before I got married and lost a lot of weight that way, and I loved that it allowed one day a week to not be as careful and to eat what I wanted. When I started MFP, I decided to do something similar, (and I made sure to still write it down). I allowed myself to go over one day a week by ~500 calories…

I didn't beat any of the scores from last week, so I'll give this one a go and see what I can do!

Are you doing any weight training? Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you're building muscle, you might not be seeing the same type of weight loss, but that increase in muscle will help you burn your fat faster. And you'd notice clothes becoming looser, even if you weighed more! (I have to get back using the…

Wii has really helped me to start moving again. I love Just Dance 2. I also recently got Wii Zumba. LOVE that one as well. :love: Really makes me sweat. Wii Walk It Out is neat because you walk around an island to the beat of various music, earn coins, then use the coins to buy more music tracks, scenery, additional paths,…

Ok... so I weighed myself a day ealier than I normally do... and I finally broke into the 150's! Yes!!!!!!!!! It feels awesome!!!! I'll still weigh myself and "officially" record my weight tomorrow... but I'm so excited! I had to share. :happy:

I soooo want in on this! I'll do them tonight and see what scores I get. I'm usually somewhere up ~9000 (when the sensor sees me correctly!). What a great idea!

I grew up always having dessert and that has stuck with me. I've been doing what a lot of you have suggested so that I can still have my nighttime snack and stay withing my allowable daily intake. 1- Get rid of all the bad junk food in the house and don't buy anymore at the store. 2- Find some healthier/lower calorie…

I just want to say that you totally rock for doing this and your optimistic, sparkling personality is very inspiring. Thanks for the uplifiting words of encouragement and your effort in putting this all together.

I know, the tummy is where so much of my weight is and being large chested, I'm round throughout my whole torso! I would love to achieve that hourglass figure. Any indentation in the waist would be lovely!

Hello to all of my fellow shorties! I am 5' exactly and rather buxom and would say I have a more medium frame. I build muscle easily, but like many of you, being so short has caused most of my weight to end up in my belly rolls! I started MFP in mid-Sept 2010 at 182 lbs. I am currently ~160 and I think I'd look pretty good…

I'm right there with you! I find myself hitting the snooze then running around trying to get myself and my daughter out the door on time in the mornings. I have found a way around this, though. What you cook and how you prepare it can really give you some time. Use the oven or crockpot more and you'll have that "cook time"…

I would love to join as well!! Starting weight: 182 Current weight: ~160.5 Goal weight: ~130 We have an exercise bike and an elliptical at home, but I find I'm not as motivated to hop on them as much as I was. So for my Christmas present to me, I bought the Wii Fit Plus and Wii Zumba. I already had the Wii Just Dance 2 and…

I LOVE this one! And you can download the Katie Perry Firework song for free right now. So much fun!! Worth a try. I've never taken a Zumba class, and I was told that the Wii Zumba game would be difficult for anyone who hasn't taken the class. If someone else has heard differently, let me know because I'm interested. I…

My vote is why not? I've gone through some of my old clothes and picked out 3 pairs of jeans. One which I finally fit into. (yeah!) The next one is a little smaller and the third I probably won't be able to get back into until my goal weight. Just focus on what you've accomplished and use them as motivation, even if they…

1. New bras and panties! (I'm hoping to go DOWN a size in the bust area) 2. Commemorate my progress with a new pandora charm. 3. Go to a photographer and take a new family portrait . 4. "Shop" in the vacuum storage bags of skinny clothes I already own put haven't been able to wear. 5. Donate my larger clothes to goodwill…
