Rachel Ray makes a awesome instant oatmeal! There isn't a bunch of added junk in either, just a list of good wholesome ingredients. It is inexpensive and can be found in walmart, that is the only place I have found it. But here it is only two dollars a box and the packet seem to be bigger also. And it is super yummy! My…

:laugh: :drinker: Again...awesome. And also really gross.

:laugh: Awesome!

Are you sure you aren't picking on anyone? I mean, you even admitted that you have a problem with people pushing "fat acceptance." Because all people who are fat should feel more self-loathing than accepting of their weight? Is that really healthier? I readily admit AND accept my own fatness. I love my body. I want to be…

I have to call BS on you, dear. I currently weigh close to 300lbs. I am also pregnant. My blood pressure was taken yesterday and was 101/70. All of my stats are awesome. I can RUN up and down stairs no problem. I can EASILY walk more than 20 minutes. With no pain. And I do. All of the time. In the summer I walk around the…

Remember that change makes people feel uncomfortable. This is a GOOD thing! The fact that your family member rolls his eyes when you work out...means that you have made him uncomfortable. He is probably doing some self-reflecting and maybe isnt happy with what he sees in himself. So dont let it phase you a bit. Keep it up!

Well...I dont know where you get your information. I have friends of all shapes and sizes and goals on this site. If somebody wanted to continue with poor eating habits and not exercise. Why the hell would they join a site like myfitnesspal. Maybe you should look for a site called myenablerfriends or something...that…

Yes. On a daily basis.

Just started it saturday. It is kicking my butt! LOL! I like how structured it is, and it really is beginner friendly. Not a ton of equipment needed either if you are doing it at home.

I think it just depends on the program. I need something more structured. So I am doing The New Rules of Lifting for Women. Just started phase 1, but it looks like this is roughly a six month program.

Well, it might not be too low for some people. But we are not all the same size. If you are bigger, (like me) your body needs more calories to function properly. I like to think in analogies. If our metabolism is a fire, then we need two things to make that fire roar. Plenty of good, clean fuel (healthy calories) and…

I have mine divided as 40%carbs, 30%protein, and 30% fat.

LOL! That is what I am worried about! Good to know!

I like quite a variety. I love Mustard Plug and Eminem for working out,(depending on my mood) but I am also really digging the Lumineers right now, super happy music!!

Thanks!

I have a big problem with "wasting" food. But as a wise person once pointed out...if you eat and don't need the calories, then it is still waste. Personally, I would rather put the waste in a trash can then on my *kitten*. My sister had trouble with this as well and she allowed one day a week for a treat day. That way if…

ooohhh! Good to know!

I am a tea freak! I have ADHD and it is how I self-medicate. I love coffee too, but it makes me jittery if I have more than one cup. I have an entire cupboard FULL of different kinds of tea. I am not a fan of sweetened tea...dont know why it just doesnt appeal. I have a wonderful mix for fruity iced tea that is AWESOME!! I…

Yes ^this^ but increase slowly...or you will gain. Watch this..it is Jillian Michaels giving advice on this very thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqLxTW4qs0k&list=PLF2055267D76002F7&index=93&feature=plpp_video Calculate your BMR and TDEE and stay between them for weightloss. They recommend subtracting 20% from your…

Well said!!! I dont think any sane person mindfully chooses to be obese. It happens because we aren't being mindful and we don't all have the kind of metabolism that will let us get away with that.

And eat LOTS of spinach! Seriously! It works!

Yay! Thats awesome!

Hey if you want to eat fake food, go for it! I have some plastic grapes that I could sell you! Also I have heard that you can sweeten jello with antifreeze! Hey, why not! LOL!

Its all crap! Give it all up! If you switch to unsweetened iced tea it will definitely help you lose weight! :D I save soda for when I am having pizza... they go together like beer and cigarettes! LOL! When I do indulge I like pepsi throwback. It tastes better, and is made with actual sugar... The regular sodas are all…

I think you are right! I think I have been over-complicating things. Can I blame my ADHD? Grrr.... it is so hard to tell what is important because there is so much freaking information out there about so many different things. I was trying to eat less carbs (because I think I was really going overboard in the carb…

I love wine also...and I live in a great area for wine...but there are all of those carbs to consider!

The first four letters of my first name, my middle initial spelled out and my favorite number...:)

nice hat adjusterben :)
