this. except, i put mine in a casserole dish, melt a tablespoon of butter (or spread) and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. mix this together, and pour it over the chunks, stir it up, and bake about 35 minutes. i put the top on it too, to keep in the falvor. also really tasty with acorn squash

thanks guys! I log my salt and sugar, and make sure to stay under both most days, salt is easier than sugar! LOL i am now down to 167.0 even this AM. I will try recalculating my calories and see what it comes up with.... I feel better that i'm not the only one!

THIS!!! i buy the sugar free vanilla (90 cal). and cones (15 calories) you can only reasonably get about a serving on a small cone... so at 105 calories, i can eat one almost every night after dinner. the strawberry is really tasty too. here's an extra.... you can add a bit of sugar free raspberry jelly to a serving of…

when i started this thing... i was eating pretty much prepackaged, processed foods. fiber bar for breakfast, pre packaged junk (or hotdogs) for lunch, and bits and pieces of junk for dinner. i felt like garbage. i was working out hard too. i was hungry and grumpy. THEN... my hair started falling out. and when i stood up, i…

for me, its all about balance. i love a good hamburger. i will get a wendy's Jr plain, and a salad. not often.... but once in a while. i might steal a fry here or there too. once you start really seeing what those things will cost you, you will learn to make better choices, and enjoy fast food for what it should be, a rare…

Brownies are my downfall.

try to stay under my caloreis, hit my protein and stay under sodium. if i go over 1500 on sodium (ANY) i add an extra "big gulp" cup of water (36 OZ) or 2. i LOVE salty stuff.... but it holds water weight on me like crazy.

i have always dated BIG dudes. my ex husband is, well, a fat *kitten*. i felt comfortable next to him, because i was smaller. then i go and fall in love with a SKINNY DUDE. he loves me, for me, and for what i look like. but i got tired of feeling like "justin's fat girlfriend". i wanted to be proud on his arm, not worrying…

in beginning (at 210) normal weight seemed so very far away. i picked 150 as this really lofty goal, far far away. im at 170 now, and to be honest, i'm not sure where i'm going!! i will see how i feel when i get to 150. i have no urge to be super skinny, i want to be healthy, but keep my curves. i think you know when you…

look at it like this: a glass of wine is what about 100 calories? if you go over your calorie goal by 100 calories EVERYDAY, but the end of the week, you've added 700 calories. it takes 3500 calories in a pound. so you're still in a negative 2800 for the week. do the math. the extra here and there aren't going to hurt you.…

i've been at it since the first of march (5.5 months) and i've lost almost 40 pounds. i have added lots of veggies, and though i still eat the things i want to, i do it in moderation. i am on 1200 a day calories, and i don't go over unless i work out on the elliptical. i'm steady losing 1-1.5 pounds a week.

documentaries. i'm a weirdo... i know. but i turn on a nat geo documentary, and it keeps me on the machine longer. between miles i hop of the elliptical to grab some water and a stretch... and gee, there is my mirror, "still fat" so i get back on for another mile.

my TDEE is 1865. i eat right at 1200 calories a day, and on the 4-5 days a week i work out, i eat back SOME of them (my burn is low, 2-300 calories). i am steadily losing 1-1.5 pounds a week, and have been since march. this may not work for everyone... but IMO, people who do not have a bunch to lose do better eating more,…

THIS! i eat carbs at basically every meal. i love bread, and corn and potatoes. as long as they fit in my calorie goal (of 1200) they go in my mouth. BUT sodium is the real enemy. if you are eating a lot of sodium and not getting enough water to flush it out, you will gain gain gain. as per the scale. if i eat stir fry…

i HATE water. hate hate hate. i have a "big gulp" from wendy's that holds 4 cups. after i have my breakfast and coffee, i down it. i sit and drink it ALL. after lunch and dinner, i do the same, force it down. and right before bed is another. which means i pee at some point in the middle of the night.... but whatever. when…

i weigh myself every morning after i pee. i keep that number in my head, and if the next day is lower, that's my "new" number. if its not, and i was under or at my calories the day before, i keep that same number. i record once weekly, on monday mornings. just so i can have a "graph" of my weight loss. you will find a…

6 months ago i would have told you i don't eat zuchinni. a year ago i would have told you i don't eat sushi, and i'm not much of a fish eater. i ate JUNK. i loved junk. still on occassion eat junk. i had a Wendy's JR hamburger and salad yesterday for lunch. did i LOVE eating it? OH YEAH. it also made me feel like a lump…

Same here. i use my elliptical almost everyday, and i alternate the way i use my feet, toes and heels, toes and heels the entire workout. otherwise my toes go to sleep, and that's not fun. it's easier to push with the smaller surface area, so naturally our bodies want to do whats easier.... ALSO, try doing a few minutes…

OMG you're so pretty!!!! and wow at the boobies! how do you not tip over? :) anyway.... 21 pounds is huge. i am your size 5'5'' i started at 211 i didn't see a huge change at 20 pounds. i felt better, and i could see tone in my legs, but i was still in my clothes. once i hit 180, i had a hard time losing that 1 pound to…

700-1200 calories is a lot of burn. don't use the MFP calories burned, they are super duper high. i was using them for a while, and pretty much stopped losing.... did some checking around, and it was about 200-300 calories off everyday. that's HUGE when you're working out 5-7 days a week. and eating them back. the problem…

ME TOO!! i love OTTBs, and i've had several. my guy is 13 this year. i've had him since he was a 6 yr old. we do some lower level dressage, hunter on the flat, and trail ride.

yep. thats what we call the double belly. LOL. i've got a belly, and a pooch below my belly button. if i was the size around my belly button all over my middle.... i wouldn't be here!!

same problem here. i have an anti-waist. regular waisted shorts/pants i have to pull up to my boobs, and low rise shorts make me look fatter, and i lose whatever *kitten* i *might* have. skirts have become my friend. i am apple-ish shaped. i have a bit of a natural waist, but my middle is really my problem. i don't have…

my boyfriend is 5 10-11 and he floats between 165 and 175. he is NOT FAT, in the least.... 165 is too skinny for him IMO. 169 may be a wee bit small for you.... BUT get there are re-evail. at least then you can say i lost 150 pounds!! thats awesome BTW!!

i've been on 1200 since march 1st. i have lost 37 pounds so far. i would out 3-6 times a week, HARD on the elliptical. my legs are rock hard, and i do about 250 bicycle crunches a day. my abs are hard under my belly (lol) i try and eat back my excercise calories. sometimes i get them all, sometimes i don't. i use them as…

YES!!! i would have told you 6 months ago that zuchinni was HORRIBLE.... i've had it like 3 times in the last week! i've baked it, stir fried it, and tonight its going in a shrimp/veggie pasta toss.... this weekend, i may grill it..... i eat all sorts of things, the fatter me would have turned my nose up at. and i've…

i wanna have mine done too! its just getting floppier. i haven't worn a tank top since highschool.... i also gained a bunch of stretch marks on my upper arms from when i was pregnant. my arms didn't get bigger..... but i got stretch marks.... i need them GONE... and the only way to do that is to cut them off!!

what she said. worst case.... bump your calories up to maintanence and preplan. that way you may not be making progress, but you aren't undoing all your week long hard work.

YEP!! my boyfriend LOVES LOVES LOVES hot wings. i do too.... but calories are crazy high. SO.... i make him baked hot wings in the oven, and toss me 4-5 chicken breast strips in too. i put the same sauce on them, and he eats his with blue cheese, and i eat mine with no fat ranch. everybody is happy.... and i can eat as…

i preplanned most of my days when i was getting started. took the stress out.... now i have a pretty good guess about what i'm eating and the calories (although at times, especially when out to eat.... its shocking in a bad way) make sure you are eating at least 1200 cals a day (don't know what you've set it to) eat…
