I love front close/zip bras. I used to work at a gym. Whenever I closed I spent the last hour re-racking weights and trying to evenly distributing the plates among all the racks. It pissed me off soooo much when someone would set down 50 pound dumbells right in front of me, while I am holding the 10 pound weights that go…

I put it on my hair to keep it soft. Actually we don't cook with it. It lives in the bedroom ;)

So you could also double down on the chocolate. Skip the cake and go for rich dark chocolate mousse. I'm happy after very little so even though it is high calorie I don't eat that much. And now I want to go home and make that. LOL! However BF just visited g-ma and we have dessert for DAYS, on top of the failed crumb cake I…

something I do for carbs anyway is I say that I won't eat it if it is something I can make myself and I will only eat things that are made by friends/family from scratch or if it is from a real bakery. It doesn't always work. Wawa sizzlis have saved my morning on more than one occasion, but for the most part it curbs my…

1) I would up the weight before starting to do 1000 swings 2) Heart rate monitor. They are awesome. Grats on the progress =)

I put a runny egg on top of my oatmeal with a little bacon crumbled on top and a good bit of black pepper. Sometimes I skip the bacon.

Yeah I bought it with the intention of freezing it (which I did) but when i cooked it....it just disintegrated. This was steak at about $12/pound so I was excited because I don't get red meat a lot. Maybe I just got really unlucky. No dog, and even if I did I wouldn't feed it to him.

Measure the oil before frying and measure the oil remaining after frying.

When I was 5 I called my mom fat. She slapped me. (She denies this, but it is burned in my memory of one of the 3 times she slapped me). But I only called her fat because she called herself fat in front of me. Kids also repeat what they here you say.

I have a 1000ml water bottle. I keep it with me and try to drink 100ml every half hour. Though I might have to look into plant nanny.

Ask for a guest pass, 3 days-1 week is generally what I see, and test the waters. Come in at the times you would normally go so you can see how busy it is. Right now it is going to be SLAMMED from 3pm to 7pm. New Year Resers. Ask for a class schedule if they offer classes and talk to people who take the classes. I agree…

From what I have read, you shouldn't loose more than 1% of your body weight per week. So I have a projection spreadsheet. This is how it looks, replacing the letters with the cell numbers in the spreadsheet: A=Current Weight B=ROUND(A-(A*0.01/7),2) C=ROUND(B-(B*0.01/7),2) D=ROUND(C-(C*0.01/7),2) Example: Date Weight Goal…

if you have a heart rate monitor, I would wear it and see what you burn! When I did Zumba I burned about 500 calories in an hour. When i do the treadmill I burn about 200 in half an hour. hope that helps!

Food Tab, Recipes is a subtab, second from the right. have fun!

Have dinner =P I've eaten chicken and green beans for breakfast. Personally I love eggs, however I eat a lot of cheerios because cereal is quiet and I am in the kitchen at 4 am while everyone else is sleeping.

Ok so when I started lifting I tried REALLY hard to get to 120g of protien (1g/ 1lb lean body weight). My face went NUTS. I had red painful splotches all over and I freaked. After freaking, I figured that my body was just reacting to the very sudden change in activity and dietary intake. It had been doing just fine with…

sweet potato with butter and brown sugar =)

If you enjoy cardio, do it. I personally love lifting. Progressive overload will help you lift more if you are interested. It is better to move than not to move.

Or bookmark the page. Newbies might also want to take a look at these threads: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10260517/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest My goal for Christmas is also 12 pounds but I'd also be happy with 8.

haha you're lucky! I have 3 dinners to go to and work in the morning so I need to eat something before that and then portion control the rest of the day. Um my suggestion is just take a small spoonful of all the things you are interested in (unless there is something you KNOW you love and it will vanish, like my grandma's…

I also have an Excel spreadsheet that I log my weight everyday. I also track my daily calorie totals there and a few other measurements. Generally any weight flux is within a half pound to a pound and it is slowly but surely going down. I agree with @jemhh. pick one: everyday or periodically and log either way.

I absolutely hate pumpkin pie. I hate the texture, and I hate nutmeg. Sorry to disappoint :s

Wow great job! If you continue at about 5 pounds a week U think you will get to about 310 by New Years. That's still aggressive. Generally you only want to lose about 1% of your body weight a week, which is about 3.5 pounds a week for you. Keep up the good work! Sometimes you loose a lot in a week and then it stabilizes.…

I have not tracked this...

If she's working an 8 hour shift (or anything over 6) without a break then that is illegal. If you work a 4 hour shift I think you are entitled to a 10 minute break. It's not a lot, but you should be getting that. Reread your employment contract. Now I say this and I work at a job where I have a 5 hour shift and am…

my grandma makes "nut balls." They are shortbread cookies with tones of ground pecans and rolled in powdered sugar. i could eat the entire batch...

Tequila shots. 70 calories a shot and no filler.

I think that Traveler might be on to something. Maybe he misspoke and said grams when he meant calories. Because 275 grams of pure protein is 1,100 calories.

so i posted on another person's post the following three meals. The idea is pick a protein and pick a veg.
