nuts, soymilk, tofu, beans

LoL

Enell...pricey but no more black eyes I love le mystere, like big love. Their bras are great and I notice they now have a sports bra, which I would w/o a doubt try due to the quality of their other products.

i'm wine tipsy and decided it's time to be back in the routine of MFP. I've been wrapped up in finals since Thanksgiving and not focusing on my health needs. I've got about a month to dedicate to just ME. (no school, very little work, just time to spend w my family. DD loves exercising with me, which I am really looking…

add me sugar! i'm gonna lose 60 lbs by Dec 2013. I'd love to have you along for the ride :)

the difference is remarkable. great work!

i totally agree. i'd rather have a baked sweet potato that has been baked a long time vs any casserole.

roasted asparagus or butternut squash. baked sweet potato: bake at 300 for 2.5 hours = you'll thank me later :p

this really does make awesome oatmeal.

i'm happy eating mine straight, just salt and water and boil. i like to cook it where you see the individual oats vs it looking porridgy...to accomplish this i use just a lil less water than called for. the way i usu have oatmeal is like that w a lil splenda and cinnamon after cooking and topped w a microwave egg over…

i think you look fantastic!! 23 lbs is great....you did it the right way and it really shows. you look healthy AND happy :)

fruit and cinnamon it's also good straight on a baked potato or mixed w a little salad dressing to make a creamy-style dressing

"yeah baby yeah."

i love gamin on PS3. I may get to be on between now and Dec 11th or it may be that i just get some good sessions in after Dec 11th...after my last final. Lately I've just being playing Zuma bc i can do it for just 5 minutes at a time. I'd like to get some time to dedicate to Uncharted this Christmas. Rayman too...that's a…

promise yourself to log your food and exercise. plan for the parties and dinner by making your other meals calorie-low. On Tday I'll have around a 300 cal breakfast and a veg soup for dinner that is around 250. That'll give me 1000+ calories for Tday meal. Assuming I can fit it in, I'll exercise in the morning and that…

i love this post. thank you THANK YOU!! it's awesome you talked w some1 while doing it. u rock!!

i ignore everything but the calories. i aim to eat a healthy diet and stick below a certain calorie level.

chew gum or chug water while in the kitchen not preparing food for yourself

ditto + exercise. I am constantly bombarded with the health benefits of exercise and not just for weight loss/maintenance.

i did. lost 75 lbs only to gain it back. it crept up and then when i got pregnant.....well you know how this story goes. i look back now and realize i was just exercising to hit a certain weight. maintenance or lifelong anything wasn't apart of the mindset at the time. slowly n surely i know i will reach a healthy weight…

Hello, darlin'. It's me again. It's been a looooooooooooooong time. sorry, i couldn't resist :p best of luck to you on the last leg of your journey!

yes i am doing couch 2 5k. there is even a group on mfp for couch25k folks. u should join!

get those people who seem to know so much about it to cite the sources of their criticism/proof. i think it is prob better to buy organic milk (it tastes better too). To get labeled organic USDA certifies that the cows are not given the synthetic hormone known as recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH, also known as BGH,…

it will prob be a trial and error kind of thing for you. i really like any brand of Earl Grey (for the trekkies out there: Earl Grey, hot). I also like Republic of Tea's Apple Blossom Green Tea I think these are both good straight bc they are so fragrant on their own. If you are looking for sleep aiding teas and the like,…

if you are looking for something more natural, opt for a smoothie. i load up by lil mixer the night before w light vanilla soy milk, frozen mango chunks, 1/2 banana, 1/2 peach, and 3 pieces of ice. I put it in the frig. all i have to do is whirr it for 30 secs in the morning and I am out the door.

we boil ours w chicken bouillon cube. sometimes I put a little teeny tiny bit of teriyaki sauce and/or spray margarine on it after it is on my plate.

I kinda agree with this. I certainly notice a downward trajectory when I exercise 3x a week, but include a 4th and 5th....and I really see movement.

tired old excuses

I like this reply so much, I'm bout to send you a friend request.

i have been at a healthy weight for my body before (not currently however, but I will be again!!) Out of everything that changed from losing weight to be in the healthy range for my height, my bra cup size did not. I was kind of looking forward to it, but nope.
