Oh- one more! Ground turkey!! Jennie-O 93/7 Ground Turkey. I get ground turkey, mix in some chopped onion and red/green bell peppers, and a little garlic and grill up (5) 4oz. turkey patties Keep them in a tupperware in the fridge to eat throughout the week. Just pull one out, add a dollop of my favorite BBQ sauce (a TINY…

My favorite is Greek yogurt. Dannon Light n Fit Greek (only 80 cals for a conatiner!) Or I get Trader Joe's 0% fat plain Greek, and top it with pomegranate seeds... so good! Other sources: a dollop of peanut butter - you can even add it into plain greek yogurt to make it better (I can't eat it alone - too tart). Hard…

way to go! Keep up the good work!

2 things come to mind: my Heart Rate Monitor (HRM)... I love wearing it to every workout (with chest strap of course, for accurate read!) to set a goal for myself. Like, if I am almost at the end of my workout and I'm at 750 cals burn, I'll kick it up to reach 800 calories burned! I love seeing how hard I worked during a…

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time... hopefully you are pulling thru and can get back on track with everything. Talk with your doctor or a close friend when you feel ready. Until then, just do your best for yourself and your family. Just remember-- when you eat better and move more, you feel better... helps with…

Do you have a Trader Joe's in your area (can't see where you live)? They make 2 dressings that I swear by! One is their Champagne Pear Vinaigrette with Gorgonzola... I believe it's just 40 cals for 2 tbs.... and I hardly ever use 2 tbs on a big sald-- 1.5 is enough! They also make a Cilantro dressing that's yummy and low…

We were at Disney World back in April, and I wore my pedometer most days just to see how much I walked. Like you- I think in an 8 hour day at a park, I walked around 5-8 miles. Not fast, but still-- lots of walking. I tried to be mindful of what I ate-- but I was away and not able to prep food at home (obviously!) so I was…
-
me too. Do great all day- then at about 9pm - I want chips and crackers with peanut butter and popcorn and cereal and all sorts of goodies. Sometimes I give in, sometimes I just go to bed. I guess the only advice I can give (to you and me!) is either: go to bed, don't bring the junk food that you snack on into the house,…

Go to Food Tab, then Recipe Tab, then over to 'Create New Recipe' It can be used for something you make over and over and over - so you dont always have to enter it again and again. Or - you can use it just one time-- if you're making a dish that has a lot of components. I love it-- I have about 30 of my own recipes…

Just got done raving about this on another post about snacks... so here it is again! :smile: Only 80 cals (compared to 100-150 for all the other greek yogurts!) and less sugar, carbs and sodium than the others. 0 fat, 12g of protein... keeps me held over between meals
-
If trying Greek Yogurt-- maybe try the Dannon Light n Fit Greek. It has the lowest cals for sure!! I have looked at a lot of them, and for a serving (usually a 5.3oz cup) the Dannon ones are 80 cals (all others are at least 100 cals, a lot of them at 130 or 150!) and it has less sugar and less sodium than most. 0 fat on…

How will you get to the gym? If driving, maybe the closer, but more expensive one is better-- because you'll spend the extra $20 in gas going to the far away gym so much (right? Because you're going to go 4-5 x a week!!) So if you plan to go often, I'd say go closer, spend the extra and save gas! You'll probably be more…
-
I'd like to think HRM's are accurate, though I always subtract about 10% of what it says-- just to be safe! After all, you're burning SOME calories even without exercising (we all burn X amount of calories per hour, just by 'being') ... But 800 cals for 40 minutes on treadmill sounds kind of high. Unless you were GOING!…

TinyPic is the way to go! Go to tinypic.com 1. on first page, upload your image - resize to message board size (I always scale mine 1st, so I've never had to resize) 2. type in 'secret code' they give you 3.after it uploads, highight n copy (cut n paste) the url for 'message boards' (2nd option) 4. Come back here to your…

Like she ^^ said, you burn cals just by being alive. Check out your BMR (basal metabollic rate) or RMR (resting metabollic rate). You will burn calories (usually between 1000-2000 I think) just by having your brain function, your liver function, your lungs work. If you were in a hospital bed totally immobile and just…

Saw it and agree with all that has been said (full of excuses, how did she gain all of that, etc). But the one thing I remember saying last night as I watched, was how Trina seemed so child-like. I told my husband (who came in halfway thru) a brief description of who she was and what her story was...and I said to him, "She…
-
I always subtract about 10%, partly because I'd rather err on the side of caution (did I *REALLY* burn 800 calories in an hour of super high intensity cardio-kickboxing?!) but also to offset the calories I burn as part of my TDEE or 'just by being alive!' Now to read that link- thanks!

You look absolutely gorgeous! Especially the dirty feet - hahah! Looks like you've been out doing some fun stuff- gardening, running, gettin' dirty! :happy: Love it! I too am 5'7''...but havent seen 135 since...high school? I'm also 20 yrs older than you - but maybe this is what I would look like if I ever got that low.…

THIS! Grease is my all time fave, love the music and the high school silliness, and of course the Pink Ladies and T-birds ! But my follow up is The Outsiders- love the whole Greasers vs. Soc's thing. Go Greasers!!!

true that!

Change it up. Regarding exercise, remember this: F.I.T. F: Frequency - if you're exercising 4 times a week, kick it up to 5 or 6! I: Intensity - Kick up the INTENSITY of your work out, walk faster, swim harder, do more reps T: Time - If your workouts are currently 30 mins, make them 45! This helps get away from that…
-
What she said. I mean, what is a good source? If not the internet, not WebMD, not a blog, not a company that sells water (and presumably has done some research on it's product), then.... I guess it has to come straight from ... who? A dietician? I could say: "my dietician told me a lot of people confuse thirst for hunger",…

I was a 40DD when I started... and I was close to your weight (a bit more). At about the 6 month mark (50lbs lost), I noticed some small changes-- nothing major. But then... BAM! It just happened. Almost overnight! Where have my boobs gone?! They are still (I suppose) considered ok in size 38C now, but the shape... hmmm...…

Sodium is ALWAYS the killer at restaurants. They post the calories, I think I do well by choosing something that's maybe 550 cals or so-- then I get home and see that it has ALL the sodium I want for a day! ARGH! Oh well- like you said- one meal, one day. Drink a ton of water and start fresh tomorrow! No biggie!
-
Dang! Look at those guns! That's what I'm working towards! Dropped 80lbs, but want some ARMS! Way to go- keep up the great work!! You look FAB!
-
But if you're already at 34g of sugar and you've only had that shake, as well as what sounds to be a low sugar smoothie you made yourself with tons of veggies, then the bulk of that is coming from that 'complete meal shake'. And since it's not really 'food' per se - it must have a lot of added sugar? Maybe you can search…
-
Way to go! Over 100lbs in 6mo's... you're rockin' it! Keep up the good work!!
-
After picking all this stuff from our garden this weekend.... I decided to make Turkey Chili!! It was delicious, but a little high in sodium (due to flavor packet, etc). Next time, I add my own spices, no packet! Served along with some 'Zucchini Tots'... think tater tot, but made w/ zuch instead! yum!!
-
You must have a RAD husband if he got you a Dropkick Murphys tee for Xmas! Sweet!
-
I agree with THIS! "Exercise for the sake of exercising" - where you put on your shoes and your workout clothes and go get your sweat on! If you think about it-- you got to where you're at (where ever that is, but I assume, wanting to lose weight) doing things like, walking to the shops to go grocery shopping--- right? I…
