I have the Charge. Overall, I am happy with it but I wish it had a watch clasp. I've had mine fall off twice, after taking off/putting on a winter coat. So, I'm very worried about losing the darn thing.

Awesome idea!!!! Thanks!

Teehee - that is really funny!

I would never dream of hurting one either, unless threatened by it. They are protected and can only be harmed if they are threatening you.

We have Coyotes too - and their howling is a bit nerve-wracking! However, at least you know they are there. The Mountain Lions stalk you and you usually don't know they are there until...well, its too late - that is what is scary to me! Mountain Lion are native to the lower 48, but have largely been driven out of most…

I am just starting to explore eating "cleaner" and would love to join a group to learn as I go!

Do you have any equipment like a treadmill or an elliptical? I use both of mine all winter long and distract my brain by reading books or watching movies on my ipad. Having the ipad or tablet as a distraction helps to drown out the "I cant's" and "this is so boring."

I have had the same trouble in the past - made more complicated by the fact that the best time for me to work out is at 5am, before the rest of the house is awake. (Finding the motivation to get our of bed is TOUGH!) There are a few things that have worked for me: 1. My husband put his foot down on the 5am alarm and me…

I'm with 'ya! I'm still trying to lose baby weight. The baby is FOUR years old!

Oops - looks like the name of the game is WiiU Your Shape Fitness Evolved.

If I'm tailgating at the game- I go all out and just enjoy the day. (Which I will be doing in Green Bay on Sunday, GO PACK!) ((THANK GOD the refs are back!!!)) So DISCLAIMER this is not.at.all. MFP approved! We will be enjoying Beer Cheese Soup, infused with brats...with several beer chasers...and more brats on the side.…

I sometimes do that too and I find that my weight loss stalls and I fall in to old patterns when I start resorting to lying to myself. I don't know why - I think it's just me not wanting to be accountable to myself. But - like all lies, we're better off just telling the truth!

I say pre-cook stuff. If you are grilling chicken breasts, grill enough for the week and put them on salad for your lunches. Do the same with beef for salads. Make up chicken salad or tuna salad ahead of time - make enough for the week. If there are ingredients that you put in your chicken salad that might get soggy, then…

I am on W2D3 of Couch to 5k, using the Ease Into 5K app. It has a GPS feature that tells you how far you are going -I LOVE IT. It feels so good to get back in to running. I'm getting to a bit over 2 miles so far. Hoping to run a 5k race at the end of the summer. I think you are getting shin splints. I suffered from them a…

I'm totally hooked - I drink plain 'ole folgers each day - black. I usually need between on and two travel mugs. I do not drink de-caf because it seems pointless. I occasionally splurge for a large FF Caramel Latte at McD's or a Northern Lite Latte' at Caribou....but that is maybe once a month. Sometimes I like french…

Protein dense veggies work really great for hunger too (at least for me) - particularly artichokes, avocados, olives and beans - love your suggestion on cauliflower mashed "potato" - I am gonna try to find that recipe! [/quote] I think it is an Adkins or South Beach recipe - but its a great way to get those mashed potatoes…

That sounds delicious too! Too bad they don't distribute in my area!! I'll have to watch for it when I travel.

I love eating cottage cheese for breakfast with a cup of Dole Diced Peaches (the kind in 100% juice). It sounds like it would have really weird texture - but it isn't too bad and it tastes great! I also like to put a scoop of cottage cheese on a salad - like a chef salad with eggs and ranch. yum. It increases the protein…

Thanks for the ideas - I'm going to check out Delirium to see if it is available in my area. Are there any spotted cow fans out there???? They have a very small distribution area - whenever I'm in Wisconsin, I have to stock up!

THANK YOU!!!

Bump - cuz I would like to know too!

Veggies - try a nice big salad. I LOVE making a salad with mixed spring green (like 2-3 cups!), craisins, cashews, a cut up apple and raspberry vinaigrette. It's a very yummy salad. I bring this to work for lunch at least 3 times a week. it's easily 2-3 veggie servings and a fruit too...gets you closer to the magic 7-10…

I think protein and VEGGIES will help. I eat a lot of veggies and I feel like I am constantly eating but I'm rarely starving or super hungry. I try to make all or most of my snacks either a fruit or a veggie. I also try to eat veggies with both lunch and dinner.

I havne't tried Amstel Light - but maybe I'll give it a shot! I'm always open to trying new beers. It doesn't have to be a micro-brew...just has to be something new, different and tasty! I also like seasonal brews as well - my favorite is a Leine's Summer Shandy...it's not a budweiser, but it isn't really a micro brew…

Add me too - i just started and am trying to lose about 40 lbs. It's not for a special occassion - I just want to feel and look better!

Add me too - I'm in my first week too!

Ha! I like the way you think!:laugh:

add me too! I'm new and trying to make some new friends to motivate and guide me!

I'm hardly an expert at this but I agree, you need more calories. Also - I have found that I can really bulk up my meals without adding many calories by adding veggies to my meals. I buy a big tub of organic spring mix greens at Sam's and use it for salads, I put it on meat and cheese sandwiches, and even blend some of the…
