Ugh! I hate that! I was looking at potatoes today and there are several different ones and they are all different calories. I wish sometimes that MFP had people list where their info came from.

I am a soda drinker too but I will have to try that out.

You sound a little like me but I would love for someone to cook it for me too! :happy:

She totally threw her weight and the proof was by how much weight she lost this week. She should have lost that much weight the first week. I think that it's sad that she wasted those first 2 weeks. I think that people forget that the bottom line is to lose the weight.

Keeping a food diary makes all the difference.

I just recently bought the Biggest Loser. It was on sale at Game Stop for $19.99. I have only done it once so far and it gives you a good workout. I love my Wii Fit Plus also.

Here's a super easy pizza recipe. You'll have to choose your own ingredients to figure out the calories and such. You just take English muffins and seperate the top from the bottom. Then just put on pizza sauce and some mozzarella and whatever topping that you'd like. Just pop them in the over until the cheese is all…

Maybe freeze the water bottle and then just sip what has melted all day, that way you will be forced to only drink very little at a time.

I wish that there was a like button on here. :smile:

Don't feel bad, I signed up and then never did anything until now. I'm motivated by the closet full of clothes that I can't wear right now. A friend of mine gave me a bunch of clothes and I will have a whole wardrobe when I get there.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Just having that feeling like you want to again is great!!!

Yes, they put whole grain on the package so that you will think that it's "healthy". Search online for better information on this. Whole grain doesn't always mean better. I recently bought some ritz crackers and I was buying the whole grain ones because I felt that they must be better. Well, come to find out, the reduced…

There are also places that change their menus too. For instance, the Guiltless Grilled Chicken at Chili's no longer has the corn on the cob w/ it. I've tried to change some of the values but couldn't figure out how to do that.

I agree too, my ticker doesn't move very much on here now. I also was letting the scale change my mood. When I get on the scale I say a number out loud, trying to guess what it will be (and I always say something higher than what I really think it's going to be). Then when it's lower, I get excited.

I allow myself one meal a week to have whatever I want. That way if there's something that I am really wanting, I know that I can have it during that time. I am the most successful losing weight when I use this idea.

It's good to know that it's actually more calories than it says instead of the other way around. I just know that I am moving more than I usually do.

I try not to get on the scale too much and just judge how my clothes feel. Easier said that done. Do you have a Wii in your house? There are lots of games that you can do instead of going to the gym. I had a gym membership but the gym was 20 mins away and I stopped going. I bought a wii and the wii fit plus. Now to work…

I've been wanting this and ea sports so I guess that I know what I am getting now!

I like the smart food popcorn clusters in the honey flavor. It's like you are eating Crunch N Munch and they have 5 grams of fiber! I also like the 100 calorie twinkies and the 100 calorie hostess cupcakes(these have 5 grams of fiber also).

It's good to know that the game is accurate. That's one of the games that i have been looking at getting.

I have a lot of knee pain too. Mine is because of my weight and I am trying to get it off before I do too much damage. My knees hurt worse when I am going down stairs than going up stairs. I figure that the pain will subside when I am able to lose the weight.

I have never done Nutrisystem. My personal reason is because if they give me the prepackaged meals then I'm not learning how to make the right choices in the real world. I look at Kirstie Alley and see what happened to her. If you feel like you need a program, I would do Weight Watchers. The only reason that I'm not is…

I'm sorry that you are having to go through this. I myself am divorced. If I were you I would bury myself in books. If you watch tv you will see ads for food and you will not be active enough. I don't know what your workout routine is but you can take your books w you and read while you work out. I would read books about…

It's even funnier to watch my hubby hula hoop! I never laughed so hard in my life!!!! What kills me is the segway. It makes my calves hurt soooo bad!! If I end up getting the Just Dance I'll be back to report on it.

I keep looking at it in the stores and keep deciding to wait.

I eat a lot of fast food myself...as I send my hubby out to get me a grilled chicken caesar salad from McDonald's. Sometimes I get stuck on the same foods and eat them all of the time. Right now I have been eating tostadas everyday. It's the mission tostadas, 2 of them, put on some fat free beans, shredded cheese and put…

I think that it's great that you are being so honest w yourself. It's kind of like here it is......Most of us can relate to how you feel but sometimes we don't say it out loud. I just can't believe that I have let myself get to where I am. I am 5'3" and I weight 230 lbs. There I said it. I am right there w you. I can't…

I'm jealous! Of the machine, the room and the snow!

I know when I get on there it's going to ask me where I have been! I am going to get serious about it now even before the new year. I love doing the wii fit plus, I just need to figure out each day when it's the best for me to use it. I am not a morning person but that would probably be the best time while everyone else is…
