I lived for that place when I was living in NYC.... The food bar? OMG! Mecca. We don't have one up here. :cry: I'm jealous. But we do have the wonder that is Wegman's......

Do they have an option for steamed veggies and steamed shrimp? Add some brown rice and voila! Well-balanced meal! Careful of the MSG though( I usually ask to not add any, or some places dont use it at all), and try some low sodium soy. That's my take out fave.

I am generally a stressed out person, very anxious, etc... I read "The Power of Now" a while back, and its a really great book about the power of controlling your mind to the present and not worrying about stuff you can't control or stress, etc, in order to be a better person from the inside. And a sidebar to that, if you…

Dear Peeps, I love everything about you: squishy and sweet, or hard and dry. You are the sunshine of Easter. Little bundles of sugary spring time happiness. But, I urge you, as I see that you've magically reappeared again this easter season; to please do your best to stay away from my hands, because I will eat…

Oh no! That's it for tuna? once or twice a month? I eat it almost every day! A la sashimi, spicy roll, or straight out of the can. Maybe I was a cat in a former life. Seriously though....do I need to cut down? :frown:

Today I burned 528 calories on the treadmill and xbike for 1 hour total

WOWZA! Hot stuff! Ladies---Hold back your men!

June 29......and a cancer through and through! Started in Jan 08.....

Your body needs the extra cals when you're sick because your body burns more trying to fight the sickness, so no worries! I'm sorry you're not feeling so hot. Get well soon!:flowerforyou:

I am proud today to say that for the very first time in my life: I did not give up on the treadmill after 30 minutes. I did not get annoyed or bored, or come up with some lame excuse. I did not look at the time and say "oh well, that's enough for today." AND...drumroll please....... I ran 4.89 miles tonight! It took some…

I forgot my lunch so I had to forage from what I've left behind in the fridge at work this past week: some baby carrots, an orange, and a Cliff Bar....BORING.

I've had lots of socks go to sock heaven. But I also have a kitten and noticed (while doing some heavy duty cleaning last night), that all the little things I've deemed "lost" over the past few months have magically reappeared in tiny strategically piled lots under the depths of the couch...... Finding them was like…

I ordered a heart rate monitor the other day.....just waiting for delivery. I'm curious to see the discrepencies...if any. Thanks! :smile:

This site is really great and the folks here are on your side as a wonderful support system----Welcome aboard!

Awesome! So psyched for you! :flowerforyou:

I've been exercising like mad (running about 4 miles a day, 4 days a week), eating way healthier and cutting calories for about three weeks now.......and I haven't lost one blessed pound. What gives? So discouraging. I know I have to keep at it, but I thought for sure I'd see something change on the scale by now. What's a…

I crave salt all the time!! If you have whole grain french mustardit has to be whole grain, then grab yourself some whole wheat or whole grain pretzels and dip away! Its crunchy, a little hot, and slightly salty. I also crave chicken wings----which are oh so bad for you. But,I have a solution: Pop some fat free microwave…

Ugh....I know how you feel! But don't give up miss lady! We have all been there, are going through it now, or will go through it. You have a huge support system here to motive, inspire, and help you get past those hurdles. Don't get down! :flowerforyou: Tomorrow is a new day.
