I am a newlywed MAID (lol) to a wonderful husband, who has been my biggest supporter. I work 8-5 with an electric company as the customer service representative. I work alone and I LOVE it!

If I steam them I usually just add a little salt and pepper and leave them alone. ocassionally, if I have leftover calories, I will add a little cheese, just to give more flavor.

I usually sautee mine in the o calorie butter and garlic salt. It's my favorite.

I tried the Kellogs on my "fake Fried" chicken and it turned out AWFUL! tasted terrible to me!

I think we are low on Vitamin C, C in this case, stands for CHOCOLATE!!! lol :)

Well of course MFP has been a GREAT tool to help! You get all the motivation, support, information, and calorie counting tool, all in one great place!

Are you eating Lots of Protein when you eat at 5am? My dietician has told me repeatedly to eat lots of protein first thing in the morning to keep you fuller longer. Eggs are a Great source of protein.

Once you workout and enter the calories burned, it ups your calorie intake by how many calories you burned. MFP suggests you eat your workout calories, because they are already figuring in how many calories you need to burn to lose weight. According to how many you entered to lose a week, your calories would be more or…

I too am an addict! I have my scales in the kitchen, and weigh before I stick ANYTHING in my mouth. My husband hid them last week, and I tore the house apart til I found them (in his truck, go figure). I weigh when I wake up, as soon as I walk in the door, before I eat supper, after I eat supper, after exercising, after my…

does it count for water if you mix in crystal light with it? Cause that's what I do and I drink a gallon a day! (and pee 50 gallons :))

As much as I love my French Fries, it was really a shock to have that reaction to them last night! I know one thing I dont think I will ever lose a craving for and that my chocolate!! Gotta have it!

I've got your family wrapped up in prayers right now!

I believe I know the diet your talking about....it wasn't 40 lbs in 3 days lost, it was probably AROUND 10 lbs and they repeated the "diet" several times....I did this diet when I was in high school and it does work, but my results obviously didn't last. basically you eat certain things at certain meals (including ice…

Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler! Tina for the laughs, Chelsea for her brutal honesty. She could say what I was thinking and get away with it! lol.

Just curious, do you guys workout in tennis shoes, or do you work out bare foot?

I thought it was devoted husband??? the first time I saw it was on a military wives topic, so I was thinking it was DEPLOYED hubby...but if that's the case then just about EVERY woman on here is a military wife! lol.

I'm no doctor and I might be way wrong, but to me it sounds like you are losing vitamins and minerals somewhere. That's what keeps our nails, hair and skin looking fresh! Maybe try a multivitamin.

Thanks everybody! I was trying to remember when I actually gained the back fat, but somehow between the fried chicken and cupcakes, I can't quite remember aquiring those! lol.

Yesterday was a tough day for me too! I actual put the DVD on, got through the warm ups and decided forget it, I dont' feel like working out today. I turned it off, changed clothes, and said to myself "self", and myself said "yeah" and I said "self, what in the heck do you think your doing? Get your fat hiney back in there…

cant believe nobody said Jillian Michaels!!! lol I would have to say Julia Roberts in My Best Friends wedding, (love the red vibrant hair) or alison Sweeney! My hubby LOVES "SAMMY" and she's the only reason he will agree to watch TBL with me! lol

Bump

Alot of times after feeling hurt and betrayed by someone close to me, I get very angry! Take that anger out on a punching bag and you wont believe how great you feel! It doesn't take away the hurt, but that's what your firends here are for! We love you and know what your going through! If you need a friend to talk to,…

Go for it and get your hair done! You deserve it! 20lbs is a big deal! I would also like to note that your husband is supporting you, and dont forget to thank him for that. Your a lucky one!

First let me say I am soooo proud of you for standing up for yourself and NOT taking him back after he broke your heart! I know you are hurting now but you probably saved yourself ALOT more hurt in the long run. I was with a guy several years ago, and he would toy me along and dump me at his convenience and every time I…

My doctor has put me on a diet and I am supposed to eat 500-600 calories of meat a day. And the other 600-700 calories are veggies. no carbs, or dairy, for now. So I just want to make sure I am following the plan like I am supposed to be so I can get the full benefits from it!

Completed day 6 last night and I made it completely through without stopping! I have to admit, when it came to the bicycle crunches, I have been doing about 5 and then just doing the rest of the time in regular crunches, but last night, I pushed through it, and I did bicycle crunches the whole time!!! I was so excited I…

Kinda strange, because everybody on there that matched my height and weight, wore 2 or 3 sizes bigger in pants and shirts than me, and looked bigger than me?? I could see the perception of myself being wrong, but the clothing sizes being way bigger is odd...I wander was someone Lying on there? lol.

I generally eat some but not all of my exercise calories...say if you burned 300 I would probably eat 170 of them. Others on here will tell you to make sure you eat them all, but eating them all scares me! lol.

Finished Day 5 yesterday and on to day 6 today! Looking back on day on and remembering how I had to "take a break" during each exercise, and comparing it with yesterday's workout, where I made it all the way through with out a break, and I can't believe I have already come this far! I am loving my results already, I can't…

I agree with the above poster, and would like to add to that thought. The Harveys in my hometown always puts their "leftover" meats for REALLY cheap. By Leftover meats I mean the meats that have been there all week that hasn't sold at regular price. I always makes sure to go get my meat then. I once got a 10lb bulk of…
