  • I missed the check-in too... but I lost exactly 1 pound last week. :smile:
  • First week of January was a success. Met my "little" goals... Good luck everyone on this next week! :smile: And "happy Monday" a bit early.
  • Okay, adding on a few more days: Jan 5: 5.2 mile run + 2 mile walk = 7.2 miles Jan 6: 6.3 mile run Jan 7: 8 mile run Jan 8: 9 mile run Week 1 of January total = ~39.4 miles
  • bump! Great source of recipes! Thanks :happy:
  • Hello All! Some of you may recognize me, many of you will not... It's been many months since I've posted on this board... in fact, many months since I've used MFP. I've come crawling back with my tail between my legs... I fell off the wagon :frown: I reached my goal weight (in fact, exceeded it) back in May/June... then…
  • Goal for this month is a minimum of 60 minutes cardio every day... should be approximately 6 miles per day minimum. Jan 1: 6 mile run Jan 2: 11K xc ski (6.875 miles) Jan 3: 7 mile run Jan 4: 6 mile run
  • Hi Everyone! My name is Kendra, I'm 28, married for almost 4.5 years, and a runner. I've been on MFP since October 2009, and went from 174 to 138 by my birthday in May 2010. But then I graduated from grad school, was traveling for interviews, moving to a new city, and starting a new job... and I let that be an excuse to…
  • Hi All! So my week has been going well so far because of two small successes. #1: I have been active every day this week (running or cross-country skiing). It is so much easier for me to eat healthy and eat within my calorie limits when I am active. #2: I got on the scale this morning. As I mentioned in my "initial…

  • I know I'm late getting in on this - just joined the group yesterday. My initial weigh-in this morning was 156.4 pounds (don't know what it was from Jan 1... haven't been on the scale in a few weeks due to fear and denial.) I am trying to get back down to about 138-140 pounds. I joined MFP in October 2009 and it was so…
  • You look so great! Super cute! Keep up the excellent work and you'll get to where you want to be! :smile:
  • Great post! I've actually tried this (sort of) recently... I was sitting around watching TV with the hubby and explaining that I just didn't think losing 30 pounds (at the time) was all that much... then a commercial came on for some weight loss system and a celeb touting that he'd lost 30 pounds using it... and I saw the…
  • Tried a recipe for Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce... turned out to be pretty good! Here's the recipe: 1 c. Fat Free Cottage Cheese 1 c. Skim Milk 1 egg 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper 2 tbs. butter 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese 1. In a blender/food processor, combine cottage cheese, milk, egg, and pepper. Blend until smooth. 2.…
  • Bump! I LOVE CC and can't wait to see all the recipes that are posted - always looking for more/new ways to incorporate it in the diet since it's so great for protein!
  • OMG! I was so intrigued I had to go make one right away... they are AMAZING! Works like a charm and soooo yummy... a bit more like french toast than a muffin... but a very nice hybrid! Thanks so much for the recipe idea!
  • Bump! That looks awesome, can't wait to try it! Thanks :bigsmile:
  • Bump! :bigsmile:
  • Bump! :bigsmile:
  • The original (non-flavored) almond milk has ~1/2 the calories of milk (depending on what kind of milk you drink). I use the original flavor on oatmeal (cold and hot both) and it adds a really great creamy nutty flavor. I also really like it in smoothies or with protein powder because of the thicker texture. I don't drink…

  • Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing! :smile:
  • I totally love watching Food Network! But I only watch it when I'm at the gym putting the time in on the treadmill (because then I can't go to the kitchen and start eating!)... my favorite show is Giada at Home... I also like Cooking for Real with Sunny Anderson and Barefoot Contessa with Ina Garten. I love cooking and…
  • Bump! :happy:
  • When's your race? I'd start training without your iPod now. I'm a runner and I find that it can actually be really awesome to run without the music distraction, I prefer it now... it really lets you focus on what's going on around you and how you're racing. Trust me, I've run 4 marathons, your brain WILL find stuff to…
  • Hey Charlotte! I'm a 5th year PhD in Molecular Pharmacology - hoping to graduate in about 4 months! Yeah! :bigsmile: I've been on the weight roller coaster most of my grad school experience and finally found that if I make time for me to be active and healthy, I am more productive and efficient in the lab and working on my…
  • Welcome to MFP! I started my "journey" with about 29 pounds to lose (although, I will probably go a few pounds beyond that if I can)... so I have similar goals as you do. I've lost about 26 of those pounds so far, so hopefully I can be of some help to you if you should need advice in the future... I'll send you a friend…
  • great idea! I'm in too! :smile: Now the real challenge will be to get my husband to eat some of those foods too! :laugh:
