Ooo difficult.. 1. Chicken breasts 2. Salmon fillets 3. quinoa 4. greek yogurt 5. eggs 6. whole wheat sandwich thins 7. avocado 8. cheese 9. broccoli 10 onions

I had a professor always made us giggle when he went on about the 'muscles of mastication' (chewing) also, philatelist has always sounded filthy to me... (stamp collector)

I am NOT good in the morning, never have been. I only started eating breakfast a few years ago so I wouldn't fall back asleep in the bathtub. :p Grab and go is what I need, as I'll sleep till the last possible second. (Yes I have sleep issues, I"m sure theres a thread for that somewhere.) I usually have, depending on how…

You can also do a cake mix plus one can of diet coke. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. Doesn't taste like normal, but isn't bad, and surely has less calories, though I don't know how many, nor could I restrict myself to 1/12 of the cake... :P I'm 44, separated for about a year. My kids are 7 and 9, I can't even…

Also thankful for my fantastic kiddos. and, reflecting on my teenage self from that other thread.... am thankful I've even made it this far, and with what I've accomplished in my life. I (we) may be a bit older, and much comes with that territory, but wow I'm a lot wiser too. I'm thankful that after so many years of being…

Excellent point. lol. Modified advice for myself... 'Hang in there, everythings gonna turn out okay.... and stop going by taco bell for the nachos bell grande.'...

Get off your *kitten*, just because you're not fat and you work alot does not mean you don't need to exercise. Build some muscle and coordination, you'll miss it when it goes and you're not protected by youth anymore. Oh, and don't sleep with so many guys, slut.... :lol:

Good job!! I lost only about 10 pounds total from July to September, but I'd swear since that point, I 'feel' as though I lost more, even if the scale does not say, yet. No, it isn't a redistribution from exercise...lol, must just be on a delay, cause my boyfriend over the weekend commented I seemed noteably thinner in the…

Hmm, these protein puffycakes are actually blocked from my work computer, it says reason 'adult/mature content' O.O I'm definitely gonna have to have a look at this recipe later....lol

Oooo wildmustang, I can relate, I love the pumpkin stuff, particularly the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, and pumpkin muffins from Dunkin Donuts. I've actually got in the habit of avoiding Starbucks, as I have no control... I don't really enjoy coffee, only the sugary concoctions like the caramel frappe or eggnog or…

Potato chips, cheese, booze. I had to give up pb when my girl turned up with a severe allergy. Recently now, she is older, and I get those jif natural singles, and keep them in the back of the cabinet somewhere, eat them when she is not around. I like the singles, =portion control, I find only half the tiny container is…

Mhmm, they're so delicious though. :P

Chicago now, grew up on Long Island NY.

Yup, my kids are just 7 and 9, I need to stick around. I want to have more energy, be stronger, look better, feel better about myself.

Skinny girl is surprisingly good... I struggle with alcohol, knowing its empty calories yet enjoying it... (usually within reason don't worry). A glass of chardonnay is what I usually indulge with these days, still has more calories than I thought it did though. Sometimes, I'll treat myself to a white russian,…

I've always thought an alcoholic is someone who drinks more than I do... ;) Seriously though, yes, its a dependence, and also if alcohol is effecting your life negatively, and the other points mentioned above. I've been told by alcoholics it is a self-diagnosed disease, though of course in some cases it is obvious to all,…

Boo!! Alright...lol. Thanks for the input, I'll have to get one. and use it.

Okay... get off the internet, go to store, and get a pregnancy test, so you know what you're dealing with. Pregnant or not, call your doctor tomorrow and see if you can get in and see them, if you're feeling so unwell. Then, when you've consulted with your doctor, and you know whether you're pregnant or not, decide what…

I like to have a bag of trail mix in the drawer at work to keep me from going down to the vending machines. Trader Joe's Omega Trek mix is yummy, with dried cranberries, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds. I'll have a quick handful days I'm feeling hungry during the day, between when I'm meeting with people. Also string…

I don't know the answer to your question, big help I am... An idea though...If its a place you go all the time, maybe you could ask them to prepare it without the sauce, see if it still is any good? Then, I'd suggest plugging the main ingredients into the MFP thing, I'm amazed at how similar things do come up, even when…

Wow. I've seriously underestimated the MFP community, both in its size and diversity of views. I did not expect so many people to reply, nor for their ideas to touch on so many different areas. To those of you who have reached out to me to try and motivate and friend me on here, I thank you. I've only just realized I can…

Of course I mean no offense to all the MFP'ers who do exercise when I say I'm busy. Please realize it is just me rationalizing/making excuses. My apologies. Thank you for the encouragement/tips/advice. I'm premenstrual and feeling a little down and unmotivated, and the nudges are helping. I'm going out to the grocery store…

Thanks for the ideas!

Okay, this is what I did, and its pretty yummy.... I only wish the sauce was a LITTLE more creamy/cheesy.... but again, I suppose this is how things got to where they are!

Bump.... do you think it'll need extra liquid with the cooking creme? use whole container for a box of pasta? What flavor do you think? http://www.kraftbrands.com/philly/products/Pages/all-philadelphia-products.aspx

Yeah, I've splurged on chips a few times since starting this, but wow when you put it in there and see that 19 chips is like 240 calories, well, there you go, this explains why your butt looks this way.... LOL. (Since who had only 19? more like 190...) I got this great dip at trader joe's 'reduced guilt' spinach/kale/greek…

Which one do you like with salmon pasta? I can easily do the cherry tomatoes, maybe a little red onion and broccoli. Or maybe I'll pick up spinach with the creme in the store, I used one once, in something I did in the slow cooker, wasn't trying to diet then though. Do you use the whole creme container for enough with a…

Sounds good, I'll have to try it! I do something similar with cauliflower, but in oven or on grill (careful not too hot) wrapped in foil. Break the cauliflower into bite size pieces spread out on foil. Spray with some butter spray, and add a bit of parm cheese. Wrap it up and bake it for like 30-40 minutes, comes out soft…

I was a not great but stable 180 without dieting/effort for over ten years... (I'm 5'6") and I regularly slept about 9 hours a night. I snacked at night, but nothing crazy, maybe 6-8 chips ahoys, not every night even, while watching tv up till like 9-10 pm then bed. After having kids, I did lose the pregnancy weight, it…

Sweet and Sour Eggplant I saw Mario Battali doing this once... I don't recall the exact proportions. Slice eggplant into rounds, and fry it in a little oil (not breaded nor peeled), remove to a bowl. In another pan, sautee some celery and red onion, cut up, dump it on the eggplant when done. Mix equal parts sugar and…
