Not sure. I'm lactose intolerant so I use almond milk. 40 cal/serving.

Today I will stay on track because... I'm determined not to have a heart attack or die in my 30's from something that is entirely preventable.

As an EMT, I think that the hardest thing was the schedule. It seemed like it was nearly impossible to eat healthy. Just finished a call, lets get dinner. So you head to the nearest grease pit, go to put that first bite in your mouth and there it is. The tones going off for the next call. It's very difficult to lose weight…

First the gut, then around the neck. I'm back to only having a single chin!

Ok, here goes. I use a Polar FT 4. It has a very comfortable strap that is machine washable and stays flat to my skin while working out. It also interacts with the dashboard on the clubs treadmills and eliptical machines. It counts calories and has the ability to let me pause the counting if I need to take a break for the…

Can I make a suggestion? This is just from my own, personal experience. I think you should look at gettting an eliptical trainer. I wear a HRM when I work out and, again, this is just what I've noticed, I seem to burn about 15% more calories on an eliptical trainer than I do on the treadmill. Also, I feel you on the…

This is so true. Never let something intimidate you into not trying it. I hadn't run 2 miles since I got out of the Army in 2001. All the eliptical machines were taken a few days ago so I went to my old nemesis, the treadmill. I didn't think I'd last 10 minutes. Well, I did. In fact, I lasted 30 minutes at 4.5MPH and…

Yes you can! Please, please, please tell yourself that you can and you will lose the weight. The mind is the most powerful organ in the human body; make yours work for you. MFP has been like nothing else I've ever tried, and I've tried it all. WW's, extreme exercise, you name it. Then I ran into an old friend who showed me…

This is exactly what happened to me. I just couldn't take it anymore and I made a DECISION to change. It can only come from within and you have to really want it. Always remember that you are doing this for yourself and that you are important too. I guess what I'm saying is that you have to have the mindset (not saying…

I had a job interview once, for a dispatching position at a police department. When I got the final interview with the Chief of Police, he looked me up and down and actually laughed. Seriously. I got the job and lasted only 6 weeks. I think that it had to do with my weight, but I can't prove it. Also, what finally…

Oh, this is so me. My Wife and I use real butter to cook with also. Since joining here I haven't gone after low-fat or diet anything. As keeponkickin said, "calories in, calories out." It really is that simple. I ate 3 pieces of pizza the other day and still lost weight. I planned earlier in the day to spend the calories…

Hello and welcome! We all know that it can be hard being new, we've all been new somewhere at sometime or another. The important thing is, you are in the right place. Their is nothing to feel embarassed about here, as we all have similar problems. That being said, I am not making light of your problem. Everyone's body is…
