  • My Kroger now has brown rice options available. I had a Crab Roll yesterday... couple weeks ago had their Dynamite Roll... both with brown rice.
  • if you are craving sweets, you should talk to your doctor about taking Chromium Picolinate (I think I spelled that right). It kind of tricks your body into thinking its sugar so that you won't crave sugar...Used with diabetics a lot and its in some of the diet supplements out there. I have a CP pill that i take before…
  • I have. I'm white, my boyfriend is black. he calls me the N word all day long. He uses it as a term of affection and he uses it with our other friends and family. "That's my N***a" or something along those lines. I don't personally use the word with him or anyone else because I don't like the word and I think its just a…
  • I've gone from 330 to 290 and am still in the same clothes as I was. now they just fit a little looser or differently than before.
  • Love it!!
  • well, i don't really know the answers to your questions.. but I tend to lean more towards the MFP calories burned. My Pedometer doesn't know how much I weigh, my age, my gender, etc...and MFP does. I think (hope) the calories burned according to MFP takes at least my weight into account. Because I burn more calories moving…
  • "I'm proud of you." several of my friends "Your journey is an inspiration to me on my journey." One of my friends.
  • Agreed. It's much harder to quit tobacco and try to lose weight. Tobacco is the killer, not cannabis. :smokin: [/quote] Tobacco isn't the killer.. its the 50+ chemicals added to the tobacco in the cigarettes that kills people. Tobacco on it's own isn't any more dangerous than cannabis in its natural form.
  • Wouldn't it be 420 calories burned per hour? :smokin:

  • sounds like you aren't eating enough throughout the day if you have 850 to spare.
  • How about when I sat in one of those chairs that was poolside the legs gave out and I was suddenly on the tiled floor with the legs all splayed out. It was at a hotel pool and I was with a guy I was crushing on and my best friend. If only the guy weren't there to witness it and then had to help me up. Thank god that we all…
  • couple of thoughts.. I have logged a single strawberry that was on my yogurt one day... so yes I would probably do three grapes. if you want to eat something, but don't want to hassle with looking it up and adding it that way, just do the quick calories. Then you can see if its going to be an entry that you will use more…
  • Over in the seafood section at my grocery store, they have snack packs of the immitation crab in the shape of a stick.. so it looks like a string cheese stick, but its immitation crab meat. Yumm-O! Shrimp. specifically cocktail shrimp. They are only 30 calories and ounce, and virtually no fat or carbs. Squeeze some fresh…
  • Chris Powell said something like (not quoting, just giving you the basic jist of what he said) you have to change your workout after the 6th time of doing it... In other words, if you do the treadmill 6 times in a row, you need to do something different every 7th workout... i'm not explaining it well, but you can probably…

  • I would just like to add that I had no intention of downplaying anyone else's addiction or struggle and I certainly wasn't complaining. I was posting this thread in the motivation and SUPPORT area because I felt like food addiction is not taken seriously. I wanted to express my perspective, as a food addict, to those that…
  • I also quit smoking cold turkey. And I smoked for 25 years. Not just a social smoker, but a full on smoker and just couldn't afford it anymore. But if someone puts a piece of cheesecake, or peanut butter cups, or a million other things that I would die for right now... in my face, I don't have the will power to "eat with…

  • what is a calf raise???!!!
  • 23 grams of carbs doesn't sound guilt free to me. No thanks. But good luck on your journey

  • Everyone has been very helpful! I feel much better now how protein will play a part in my food choices going forward. I appreciate the information!!
  • That was my last meal before I started this weight loss journey. I thought I would have to give it up for good... but I had a craving so bad on Monday that I went and did a modified bowl that wasn't as bad as I thought. brown rice instead of white rice (half the sodium), half the cheese, half the sour cream.... if i was…
  • I don't know what all the abbreviations are. Why do that in a recipe? FOC? SF? AF? SMH.
  • SOMEONE SAID THAT WE SHOULD START A BOARD FOR JUST RECIPES... AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL KNEW THERE IS A BOARD FOR ONLY RECIPES. CLICK ON THE COMMUNITY TAB AND YOU WILL SEE IT LISTED IN THE CATEGORIES. GOOD LUCK
  • I felt the same as you for a long time. But now I think I have a pretty good handle on what I am doing. If you are going to eat carbs, eat ones that have lots of fiber in them. At my grocery store, Kroger, they have these sandwhich thins.. its the same calories and carbs for the most part as one slice of regular bread..…
