I love outside the most, but sometimes I do just like to zone out on the treadmill.

If it works for you. It still comes down to calories in vs. calories out.

I usually save 150 to 250 calories for something sweet after dinner. My current dessert is 1/2 cup of plain yogurt or coconut milk yogurt mixed with 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder and PB I try to make my desserts somewhat healthy and filling. Other things I like for something sweet is: - A few ounces of dark chocolate…

Perhaps no one can answer your question on what is light cleaning vs. heavy cleaning because no one logs it.... because you shouldn't.

If it's working for you I wouldn't change it. Try to measure what you can. I have always measured food as far as TBS, cups, etc. to determine serving sizes for things that come with multiple servings like oatmeal, dressing, etc. For meats I look to see how many ounces are in a package, like a tube of ground turkey has 16…

Height: I claim 5'6" SW: My heaviest in college was 155 CW: 123 (I have flucuated between 111(too small)and 125 for the last 5 year) GW: I want to get back down under 120 I am a runner and the smaller I am the faster I can run. When I got down to 111 it helped me qualify for Boston finally, but it was too small. In the…

When I first started trying to lose weight, but wasn't counting calories, I used to go to subway and get a 6" tuna and 2 chocolate chip cookies for my side because I thought Subway was always healthy.

So you don't keep stuff in your house because you don't want your no self control boyfiend gorging himself, but you don't mind if your no self control coworkers gorge on it? That's thoughtful.

Chick fil a market salad. It's 200 calories with no dressing. They usually give you a packet of mixed nuts to go on top thats 80 calories. It has blueberries, strawberries, blue cheese, cabbage, lettuce, and chicken.

I drink 2-3 cups a day with almond milk and I don't plan to give it up ever.

@diespel- can't see your pics

Small Chili and a side salad with italian. Low in calories and high in protein.

I like #2, but without the panty hose and with some strappy black or other color heels.

If I lose Myself- OneRepublic

I've always thought protein powder is nasty and stinks too. I have found 2 brands I like: Muscle milk light (Vanilla, Strawberry, or Banana- the chocolate stinks!) and protizyme yellow cake or peanut butter cookie. Also, I NEVER drink the protein powder. I don't like it that way. I will usually mix it with oatmeal and…

It's called food combining and it actually works for people who have stomach issues and problems digesting. I'm not sure if it's necessarily for weight loss- that will still be based on calories in vs. calories out. There are tons of people out there that use the method of food combining. I've practiced it before and I…

No because I don't eat the same and exercise the same every day. It assumes the same calorie deficit for every single day for the next 5 weeks and calculates what you would weigh in five weeks if you ate the same every day. Even just 50 calories could through the "what you will weigh" figure off a few pounds b/c itd be…

I like this thinking for anything! (about the burning calories and seeing if its worth it.

I use about 2 oz of unsweetned almond milk, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of truvia. About 10 calories.

I haven't read through all of these posts so I don't know if someone else suggested it, but sometimes to avoid washing my hair too much I will alternate night/morning workouts. Say on Tuesday I'll work out at night leave my hair dirty and sleep with it in a braid then Wednesday I'll work out in the morning and wash it in…

Yum! Bump.

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with going over your protein. I actually think MFP has protein set really low.

I have all of those DVDs and 30 Day Shred is BY FAR my favorite!

If you really can't tell it's gone in the back because it's covered by other hair I would probably just wait before cutting it. Or atleast give it a lot of thought and see how long you can stand it. Sorry to hear that that's happening :-) It's tough on the hair trying to be a blonde.

I'm training for Rock N Roll San Antonio Marathon in November and the Chevron Houston Marathon in January. Can't wait! Will be my 2nd and 3rd marathons (I did Houston last year and loved it). I'd like to find a half to do sometime before November rolls around though.

You burn less when you weigh less. Think about it... it takes a lot less energy to move a 150 lb person than it does to move a 300 lb person. Congrats on reaching your goal!
