Rebounding, rebounder, mini trampoline, trampoline jump, bouncing.....no, none of it in database.

Just tried this! absolutely delicious and satisfying. thank you!

spanx for sure! what's your guilty pleasure to unwind?

"uptown funk" Bruno mars, "them changes" Buddy Miles, "Are you gonna go my way" Lenny Kravitz, "Shake It Off" Taylor Swift, "Her Strut" Bob Seger to name a few.

jillian michaels recommends no alcohol until you're at maintenance weight. I replaced evening cocktail with herbal tea. sounds like stress may be a problem for you, keep trying something that helps you wind down. yoga? reading? music? gabbing on phone or online? bubble bath? replace the fat packing habits to create a new…

breakfast at 7 am, lunch 11am and dinner around 4-5pm. snacks around 2pm and 7pm.

when you're "burnt out" you DO need to take a break! maybe pack the scale away and go by appearance, feel and measure yourself. you're in this for a lifestyle change so look for what is doable over the long haul. calorie reduction is not healthy long term! i have a dress that is fitted and when i put it on and it's tight i…

there was a day when i was in your size range! now i'm happy in my target weight around 140-145lbs. it's a great idea to do a photoshoot as a reward! i've done a few and always feel so beautiful! it's great to be the focus and see how they improve your looks with lighting, etc. it's better than 6 months of therapy!…

try using some salad dressings over your veggies. can be hot or cold. i like to shred carrots and add them to spaghetti sauce. i also like them shredded with ranch dressing and rainsins added. have you tried soups? again, grated and added to soup makes for a less textured dish. the texture of the veggie is probably making…

this is a common theme. it takes a long time to pack on the lbs and i bet there were many times you stuffed yourself and got away without gaining weight. same goes with losing. it takes time and those plateaus come anywhere along the way. i agree that paying attention to the scale can be self defeating. go with how you…

i like "fruit kabobs". stick a few of your fave fruits (grapes, pineapple, apple cubes) onto a toothpick leaving a tiny space to stick into a grapefruit, then stick all the little "kabobs" onto a grapefruit. have a cup of strawberry yogurt to dip into. you can put some cheese cubes on some of them, add a plate of crackers…

i worked night shift for many years and i lived "as if" i was a regular day person. meaning, when i got off work at 7am my day began, i ate breakfast, took kids to school, came home and slept, woke up in the afternoon and picked them up from school, had supper with them, then i ate a light snack around 10 before going to…

keep trying to figure out the recipe tool! it takes time and sometimes you have to try over and over again. for some reason it gets to where it won't accept your portion or some such detail. i've learned how and i'm very low tech! you can do it! otherwise, just try to give a ball park estimate of how much of each…

it's really important to find what will work for YOU! most of us fail because we follow someone else and it doesn't work for our lifestyle. i find walking to work best for me. i also find time at work to work out in some form. maybe just walking up and down the hallway or stair climbing. i've been known to step up and down…

i keep canned chicken breast on hand. i also buy the rotisserie chicken at the grocery. then, i use 2 oz chicken with either ranch or miracle whip and some chopped grapes. i love this as a sandwich for my work lunch!
-
maybe you should ask about this on a dating or relationship site, rather than a diet/fitness site?
-
forgot to mention you go to your "food" page, then you'll find the "recipes" tab and it will allow you to calculate.
-
yes. you have to take a few minutes to program the data in under "my recipes" and it will breakdown the calories for you.
-
sounds like you've already received good feedback. maybe stop weighing and just measure once a week? the scale can really fluctuate from day to day and you'll get discouraged when it doesn't drop. also, if you're really not losing, could you be inaccurate on your calories or activity level?
-
it's always ideal to eat perfect food as God made it but let's get real!! i don't worry about it and try my best to lower the calories. i think you're doing great to move off the fast food and into the lean cuisine. small steps! keep them going. as you re train yourself to eat a better diet you can begin to fine tune it! i…

longevity is the key! keep at it....good, bad or ugly. we all have off days and fall off the diet on occasion. don't stay away at those times. i find by "reporting in" every day it keeps me thinking since i'm embarrassed sometimes to come on and say, "i ate a pound of chocolate". :)
-
i would go by the results you've been getting. if your other one was inaccurate you would have noticed that you were losing faster than you should if it was "under reporting" calories burned. i do not believe that more expensive necessarily means quality. i see many people on here reporting very high calories burned and…

you can drink too much water as in, water intoxication. i don't think you will gain any weight from water. quite the contrary, it flushes out the system and helps keep your metabolism running.
-
try doing portion control. eat food you normally do but scale back the portion to within 300-400 cals per meal. i like a cinnamon roll. i may have to cut it in half and it eat for 2 breakfasts instead of one. soups, salads, lean chicken/tuna, berries, nuts....all make it easy to stay under. you will still lose if you're…

what a poetess, you! love it!

i recently replaced my old style spring action scale with a digital. it gives the same dead on reading each and every time!
-
well, i can't think of how many "splurge" days i've had where i've had a serving of outback cheese fries for my supper. now that i've joined MFP i know there's like 2400 calories there!! can't remember exactly but it's astronomical. you didn't do so bad.
-
absolutely necessary to avoid burn out! i do it twice a week when i'm at my goal. eat healthy as i can the other 5. nachos and cookies on my cheat days!
-
it's a new you! keeping it that way is the key. i think you're wise to take it slowly and re-evaluate how you feel at 150 before changing your goal to 130.
