  • OMG it is the most awesome kinect game ever! and I sort of feel like I can dance now LOL... I have dance central and dance central 2. I am a 5 star dancer on Dance Central 1. Dance central 2 is a little bit harder if you ask me. It takes practice. They have different levels, you learn the routine in sections, you can slow…
  • Not all restaurants have bad menus. There are a couple salads from Sharis that I can have, and Applebees has a low calorie section on their menu and so does BJs brewhouse. You really just have to research your local area restaurants and I garuntee you will find at least some that will have something you can eat. Plus there…

  • depends on your man, my husband loves that i am losing weight, he is much less excited that my boobs got smaller, but he is totally a "boob man" some guys like legs, or butts, but my man likes boobs and big ones...LOL
  • hard boiled eggs, light string cheese, single serving of 2% cottage cheese, greek yogurt. I think most of those things have already been mentioned.
  • I am worried about how it may change my relationship with my husband. We have a great marriage, but I have always been overweight the entire time we have been together. Some men get really insecure when their spouses lose weight, and become jealous and paranoid and start trying to sabotage them to make them fat again. On…
  • I used to be so impatient with weight loss. I wanted to see results yesterday or step on the scale and see that i lose 10+ pounds in 1 week like I saw on dumb shows like "The Biggest Loser"... Now I know better. The faster is comes off, the faster it could potentially come back! Slow and steady is gonna have to win this…
  • I really dont care about what people have to say to me. I know exactly what I am putting into my body and I know what is working. I does irritate me when people complain about not losing weight when their diaries are full of changs mongolian grill and mcdonalds and stuff, but I still dont say anything. Its not my business.…
  • Constant experimentation with food! I am a food-a-holic so keeping the food part interesting for me is key. I have made a bigger variety in recipes in the last 2 months than I have in the last 2 years. The other thing that keeps me going is my baby boy. I want to live long enough to see him graduate from college and get…
  • LOL ok this just got dirrty.... and i kinda like it. I would say its ok to just guestimate.

  • Some of the descriptions have an inch description attached. Like for bananas a med is like 7-7.5 inches and large is like 8-8.5 inches.

  • I would imagine that if you stayed at 1370 you would still lose weight just at a slower rate. You could exercise more as your limit gets lower to create the same calorie deficit.
  • Usually I have a Healthy Choice microwave soup bowl and a geek yogurt. Sometimes tho I will have tostadas, or Chicken and broccoli pizza on whole wheat crust, some kind of salad, kung pao tacos, some whole wheat pasta with a single serving of cheese and chopped tomatoes and onions... the list goes on really. I am…
  • I make my chicken salad pretty plain with just a chicken breast, super low cal mayo, celery, tomato and cucumber. Learning to not use so much mayonaise has been so hard for me because i LOVE mayo on my chicken salad.
  • I also dont plan for the entire week but i try to tackle 3-4 days at a time. It sure does make it easier to stick to!
  • I loved going to the gym, it used to be my "ME TIME"... but with having a baby and now working opposite schedules of my husband in order to not have to pay for daycare I have no idea when I would be able to go. I will NOT leave my 8 month old in those horrid gym daycare centers. LA fitness pages you if your kid cries…
  • My grocery store does not carry rice paper... which is so sad to me. I have been wanting to buy them ever since I saw Giada At Home use them to make some rolls, but I cant find them in stores...

  • I love to have taco salad for lunch, I use iceberg lettuce, tomatos, onions, cilantro, 1/2 cup refried beans, 2 tbsp la victoria taco sauce. I dont put any meat in it. I also love chicken salad wrap, La tortilla low carb tortilla, 1 small chicken breast cut up w 2 tbsp of fat free mayo, 1 celery stalk chopped, spinach,…
  • The rudest comments I hear are from **** head little teenagers. Seriously, youre going to speak that way to a 30 year old?! What the hell are parents teaching their kids. If I ever heard my son speak to anyone, especially a grown adult, the way some of these teenagers have spoken to me I might beat him absolutely…
  • Why do you really not want to see a doctor? Doctors are here to help us.
  • My sister is a physical therapist and a triathalete and she says its actually bad to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth while running. When running you need more oxygen so you should breathe through your mouth. She tells people to do the breathe in 2 strides breathe out for 3-4. The exhale is very…
  • I cook it in a pyrex glass dish with just about an inch of water and cover it w tin foil. I bake it at 350 degrees for an hour. The water keeps the chicken moist and the tin foil on top keeps all the moisture in.
  • I have found that I am spending substantially less on food since I have joined MFP... I have more money than ever right now. I buy a lot of generic brands, produce is rather cheap here and I try to buy things that are on sale. I also buy my chicken breasts frozen. This way I can get 2-3 times more chircken at the same…
  • I just did a search and could not find any nutritional information posted online, not even on their own website. Since starting MFP I refuse to eat anywhere that doesnt disclose the calorie count of their food. Who knows how the food is prepared and how much butter they are using...
  • I have considered it, but we will see what my stomach looks like first if I manage to lose all this weight. Plus I dont know if I am done having kids. I only have one, and I may want another one in a year or two, who knows. I would definitely NOT get a tummy tuck until AFTER I get my tubes tied. If Im gonna spend that kind…
  • I try to do my Tae bo like every other day. I have had the same VHS tape for like 10 years I practically know the routine by heart LOL It really makes me sweat and i LOVE billy blanks!!!

  • I premake everything for the next day the day before. Tonight I have already made breakfast, lunch and dinner for tomorrow. Tomorrow I will leave at about 10am and not get home til after 8pm... I leave my dinner in my step moms fridge (she is my daycare provider) and my lunch can hang out in the fridge at work til I get to…
  • I have never been much of a brand snob, I was a PRICE snob... I would buy the cheapest whatever, anything on sale, or that had a coupon... after joining MFP I am a "calorie snob" now I only look at which one has the lowest possible calories LOL I'll eat a dumb brand if it means I get to eat more of it!
