It's not like white bread, pasta etc are the devil, it's simply that whole grain bread, pastas etc are better. More nutrients for the caloric bang. The difference may seem minute, but if possible why WOULDN'T you choose whole grain products Catelli Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti…

Might be the other way around tho. Maybe they plan to hit up the restaurant and at the last minute decide to earn it by getting in a workout! HAHA!

This is a great thread. I hope the OP sees some results, but in the end the weight loss is for health and you've done a fantastic job! Celebrate it :)

First of all, ignore the arrogant who are saying you aren't lifting heavy because you aren't doing their notion of heavy. Heavy is different for every person. Secondly, if you're going to be lifting heavy I highly recommend an organized program rather than doing it on your own. My husband is having great success with…

My hubby and I use Body Fortress. We started out using Super Advanced Whey - Chocolate and it was just fine, but you had to use a blender or processor because the powder clumps. You can do it with milk or water and it still tastes good. Hubby uses milk and I use a combo of 1 cup water and 1 cup milk. This cuts down on…

I sneak peek at various times every other day or so, just to see how on track I am, but I don't take the number to heart. I way in for logging 1x a week and post both losses and gains.

we buy body fortress premium whey isolate in vanilla cream and it is DELICIOUS with just milk. I haven't tried with water yet. It tastes like a vanilla milk shake. I also add it to oatmeal and coffee, but beware heat seems to change the texture so its best to mix with some water or milk and then add to oatmeal or coffee :P

In theory I will say I do find it silly to "dress up for the gym", but i do see how it would feel great to have nike wear etc to wear to the gym, nothing wrong with that. When i head to the gym my clothes are clean, but basic - loose fitting Old navy joggers and a ribbed tank. I do take the extra step to do a high up pouf…

The timing could make it ovulation. It'd be a lil early for pregnancy, but some do ovulate sooner/later than the average. Could be implantation bleeding if pregnancy is a possibility. The 1st month hubby and i tried for DD I wanted to be pregnant sooo badly and was devastated when I started to get what PMS cramping, I had…

Any chance this will be picking up again in April, looking forward to the additional motivation :) Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm from Ontario Canada. I'm a 31 year old married mom of 1 2 year old little girl. I'll be starting 30DS April 2. I started my weightloss at 301 lbs Oct/2011. Got off track during the holidays, found MFP in January 2012 and have lost 32 lbs since Jan.9. SW 301 CW 262 GW 130 I've been working out at the gym…

The lowest cals is italian bread, BUT the best for nutrition is probably honey oat because of fibre and whole grains. Italian is just enriched white .

I should also add that my parents have been married for over 25 years and for at least 7, maybe 10, of those years they have hated each other, but won't divorce for their own moral and financial reasons. It isn't a good place to be-- my youngest brother and sister both have extreme rage problems which im sure come from all…

I went through this a few years ago, not marriage/divorce, but a 10 year relationship ending. First 5 or 6 years were great and the next 4 were spent fighting constantly and generally being unhappy. I tried both routes. I tried to accept being trapped and suffer rather than move on, both to not hurt the other person and…

You look great and those jeans are super cute! Way to go!

Great info, saving this for later. Starting 30 DS on Monday!

I've continued to log through my slump, but have been over and made less than the best choices. Lots of sodium and a few fatty/sugary snacks. I have gotten in exercise, not my usually organized gym workout, but did have a fun 2.5 hour walk through a nature reserve with my family and have been doing yard work and going to…

and that's because there isn't a movie called Gone In...... yup...:sad: :laugh: Happy to say my husband is a major upgrade! lol

Gone in 60 seconds

So, call me clueless *blush*. I've been eating what MFP tells me to and losing 1.5- 2.0 lbs/week ( i have 150 lbs to lose). My BMR is 1946 and I'm eating about 700 under that. I eat back about 80% exercise calories most days and have been aiming to net at least 1200. So, based on this thread, eventually this will backfire…

Just the fact that u are posting here worried leads me to believe you are making the best possible choice for yourself. The first step is awareness. Do the best you can, make healthy choices as much as you can, that is all anyone can ask of you and all you can ask of yourself!

When i search I always add Canada to my search and I always know what the calorie count and roughly the nutrition of any packaged type foods like bread, pasta, cereal so I can accurately assess which entry is accurate. For raw foods i check several entries to make sure they are all roughly similar. All in all, to allow for…

Think this needs a bump

I'm heavier and shorter than you, but I've started lifting now. I was lifting with my hubby, but he switched to a program that works better for him and I had a hard time staying focused. In the 4 weeks since i started lifting heavy I've noticed some substantial muscle strength gains in my arms, shoulders, triceps, biceps…

We didn't meet on MFP, but we did meet online via video gaming. We'll be married 4 years in August, have a 3 year old and don't even remotely dislike each other. I should also add there was 2 year long distance get to know you/dating relationship before we were married. It was strictly online as he lived in Atlanta Georgia…

I'll always choose Diet Pepsi if given the choice BUT when stuck drinking a Coke product, Coke Zero tastes pretty darn good and is the only Coke I'll drink.

only thing that really bothers me is when my space is invaded unnecessarily. I understand during peak hours it's crowded, but when it's pretty empty, leave a machines worth of space. IF you're waiting for me to finish using a machine, don't crowd me! I hate when people stand there, foot tapping or breathing down my neck. I…

Truly love me some carbs- bread, rice, pasta, cakes - so yum! All you need is balance, moderation and exercise and you can eat w/e you want. Stressing over any one macro just screams of FAD and isn't sustainable!

After the library had it, but couldn't find it on the shelf, and it not being available locally I finally ordered it yesterday and im hoping it'll be here on Mon or tues - sooooooo excited!!

Same here. Only decent gym in Windsor, ON
