  • UPDATE! The Dr did talk to her privately and then with us together. Daughter refused referral to nutriotionist; stating she read enough and could ask me for advice.:) She set a goal for herself to move / exercise at least 30 minutes a day. She does NOT want to count calories or journal because when she "messes up" she gets…

  • HELP!?! I have a HUGE problem with the quit smoking thing. I am in the medical field and am fully aware of all the bad stuff. However, I don't have the greatest desire to quit. I've been praying for the "want to", because I know that's the only way I'll stop. I rationalize it because I've only been smoking since April 2007…

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Vitamuffin Muffintops. The most satisfying and filling 100 calories I've ever found. I had to order a sampler pack from Amazon (no local stores carry), but am so glad I did. I have desk job and tend to crash around 3 pm, usually out of boredom. A Vita Muffin top satisfies my sweet tooth./ Debbie cake…

  • We have Wii Fit, Xbox Kinect and tons of games (3 or 4 dance games, Zumba, work out games, personal trainer games,sports, etc). We do alot of the dancing games together. I wear my HRM so I can log the cal burned for myself and she DOES seem proud of herself when she's broken a sweat. I've tried her in every sport possible…

  • WOW! I'm feeling the love! :) Thanks everyone for the ideas and support. I was raised by a mom who was always on some kind of diet and remember sititng in the lunchroom in 9th grade eating my 2 TBS of peanut butter and carrot sticks for lunch. So, I have a severe internal struggle on how much or how little to say. I was…

  • Chocolate PB2 (order online) alone or mixed with a little fat free whipped cream. SAM's club has cocoa powder dusted almonds (can't remember brand name right now) and also Quaker Oats Chewy Chocolate granola bars (90 cal). I also get Choc Peanut Butter Fiber One bars there (90 cal). I love my chocolate!

  • You "BUMP" it up to the top of the thread so it shows up on most recent discussions.Making a comment keeps the thread (on all forums) active. Don't feel bad, I had to google it a few weeks ago b/c I had NO clue what it meant.

  • I buy my skinless chicken breasts there (fat is hand-trimmed). Also, the Quaker Oats cocoa granola bars are GREAT for a chocolate fix-only 90 calories!! Bolthouse baby carrots and organic cucumbers. My mom and I sometimes get the salad mix (spring and dark leafy) and split it. The Santa Fe whole grain tortillas are…

  • In regards to energy..check with your physician to see if you can take B Complex sublingual liquid drops. They have worked for myhusband and I. I sometimes (as needed, not daily) take a dose around 2 or 3 pm, when I'm starting to run down and it gets me through. Oh, and I am a coffee addict. 3 cups in morning and 1 cup…

  • WIth a husband who works long hours, my 40 hour work week + commute, two kids, and three dogs, I FEEL YOUR STRUGGLE. Time has been my biggest obstacle! I got a membership at a gym that has one by my house and one by work. I've started squeezing in 30 minutes of elliptical work on my lunch break. I'm not always back in…

  • I count is as 'dancing (aerobic)', which is listed in the database. I, too, was wondering if it was an accurate #. I seem to sweat much more doing Zumba and am a little more sore after a Zumba class OR DVD.
