Doing it the way you are (rinsing the cooked meat) is basically rinsing away the beef flavor, and leaving the flavoring to your seasoning. If you are looking for a way to have less calories (and not concerned about a "beefy" flavor), maybe switch to lean ground turkey and then use the same seasonings. Less calories, but…

How weird is this .... last night I made a comment about how the wrong foods can make someone fat to my [thin] son, when I remembered that, hey, I AM FAT. I'm sure was awkward for me (he did not even notice, it was me that was caught off guard by my own comment .... about myself!). I'm sooooooo glad I'm already working on…

Maybe head Gramps off with "Hi there, sooo good to see you, hey I hope the few pounds I've dropped shows how committed I am to getting healthier". Or something like that, right off the bat. Let him know that you are working towards health! :) Good luck, I hope you have a great visit with Mr. Has-To-Speak-The-Truth. :ohwell:

This points out another interesting dieting fact. "Clothes size" is not always an indicator of body shape/size. I am 150 lbs and wear a size 14. (Of course, I'll do the next size up if needed, if it prevents any fat rolls or love handles from showing.) Although the quoted poster might be, say a 6' tall woman, in which…

Raw milk makes up less than half of 1% of milk sales in the U.S. but accounts for twice as many disease outbreaks as pasteurized milk. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1736713,00.html]

Flavored soy milk (coffee flavor, vanilla flavor, etc) is YUMMY, BUT can really pack on the calories. For "healthy", look for unsweetened. And don't be fooled by a "low calorie" logo on the front of the carton. Check the label, I just accidently bought one that has artificial sweeteners. Arrrrgh.

Back in the days of being skinny, I was motivated to gain weight because I wanted to have a healthy pregnancy.

Exactly.

I hate to eat breakfast. I'm just not hungry, so it is not something I do with pleasure. If I had that zero of an appetite all day, I'd be skinny. :tongue:
-
I really try to watch my caffeine intake. I drink decaf if possible. And, coffee often gives me a stomach ache. If I put enough sugar and cream/milk in it, it helps, but that really adds calories ..... ouch! I've had caffeine withdrawal headaches in the past, and I don't want to go there ever again. So for the most part it…

Thanks, yes the info helps. Keep watch and I'll do a group in a day or so, and then link it to this thread. :bigsmile: Great day here today, I cleaned the garage so got some exercise doing it by walking a lot and lifting, and ended up with a neat garage.

KUDOS to everyone who finds a way to do EXERCISE, be it running on a treadmill, taking an exercise class, jogging in place in their living room, running outside, anything! Keep up the good work and benefit from your form of exercise.

We've got a solid gang of "gonna' be lighter" folks, here! :) I'm thinking of doing an actual "Group", but I need a crash-course on just how a MFP group functions/works. I see where to start one, but I'm wondering: Do "group" topics show up in the "recent post" index? Do "group" topics show up in the "my topics" index? How…

Night eating is my favorite, and contributed to my 20 pounds gain. :( To counter it, I now watch closely what I eat at night. Currently acceptable snack in my kitchen: 1 Rice cracker with instant coffee chocolate flavor (sugar free). or 1 Orange and 1 hardboiled egg or 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup fresh pineapple. In…

WOW! :)

The articles are saying that the temperature of a room could perhaps affect a portion of the calories you burn. Too hot or too cold, and your body expends [usually just a few] extra calories to compensate. But we need to remember that our bodies burn a certain number of calories just to function. NO MATTER WHAT THE…

Welcome everyone. I'll try to do a better job of answering comments, and please, YOU PEEPS ADD YOUR COMMENTS AND SUPPORT ALSO. Together we can make this happen ... weight loss, that is. I've spent a fair amount of time looking online for the calories in a big bowl of Chicken Sukiyaki. It was a great lunch treat for me…

I have to just completely stay away from potato chips, etc, because I know I won't be able to stop eating them once I get started. I think it is the thin crunchy saltiness, just ...... addicting! I also know that a good part of my extra 20 pounds is due to chips. :( Be strong, say "no" to them. :)

MMMMmmmm , pizza. Have you tried Amy's Spinach Pizza? It is yummy and only about 310 cal for 1/3 a pizza. It is delicious cold too the next morning for breakfast. Good luck, it's pizza time!

Yaaahoooo, one week and three pounds. My exercise has been gardening, which includes a lot of bending and lifting and walking. Plus, my yard looks nicer. Tonight I had a light dinner, and then got the munchies. So I had 1/2 cup of homemade chili. Arrrgh, I was still in the mood to eat. Technically I was not "hungry", I…

We are similar. For me, I see a difference at 130-135ish lbs. That is the weight when I get the "gap" between my thighs. Meanwhile, I've got about 3 sizes of pants to work down through, so even while I'm waiting to hit the 135 "gap", I'll be able to see progress as I go from my fat pants .... to not as fat ..... to regular…

Perhaps you will, but that would be sad for you. Happily growing old is a privilege, what is that saying about getting older, "What is the alternative?". Be well.

RE: stats & epidemiology The above commnet might actually be supporting that epidemiology needs to be looked at closely as to the group that is being studied. For example, are overweight people a higher user group of diet soda? If so, would it not make sense that there would be an increase in heart attacks, etc, in that…

OP, you deserve to be happy in life. Find the help you need so that you can fulfill that area of living. YOU deserve THE BEST life has to offer. We all do. Good luck and be well.

RE: posters who write outright mean comments: Although loosing excess weight amount can improve someone's overall health, I see that sadly it does not improve the kindness and compassion that some people exhibit towards others.

Excuse me, but why is bad to disrespect someones choice about tats, but OK to disrespect the 60's crowd due to age? Looking to the positive, I'll make the jump that you just misworded your thoughts. We should all be so lucky as to live healthily to be 60 or 70 and older! Isn't a healthy long life what we would all like to…

Well, that could be because the controlling fiance made her quit the site. Or, the poster was mad that we'd question the mental health of her fiance. Or, that we'd question if she should stick with him if he won't get help. Or ....... I hope things work out well for him, and her. We all deserve to be healthy and happy.

How'd it go for YOU today? I learned to always read labels (I have another thread that explains how I bought an ORGANIC soy milk that had artificial sweeteners, yuck!). And that when I am starving for dinner after coming in from gardening, if I measure my portions, I can still enjoy what I want but keep my calories under…
-
It's a hot button for some: the tossing out of facts or stats without any science based evidence. [Not to say that was what the OP did, I'm just commenting on why sometimes people will ask for a link.] Personally, I disregard most of what I read that throws out a "this is bad" comment, unless it is just a generic comment…

If you decide to do home bleaching, even streaks, have a backup plan in case something goes wrong during the "learning curve". Signed, did my own streaks for years. (Yes, I had a mess once from not being "neat" enough on how I applied the bleach.)
