Really only 40 calories? Is that sugar free? I am on low carb as well.

Fantastic job on your journey!!! I wish i had the problem of struggling to consume 1200 calories! If I ate what I wanted, I would be starving and maybe triple the calories. LOL. I love sweets and it doesn't take much to push over 1200. :o)

I totally agree. This time of year is the hardest, especially for me as I have a huge problem with sweets and Halloween and the holidays that follow are all about the candy and the baking. Good luck with your journey! ponohonu... you from Hawaii?

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahaha! I've never come across anything like that... that is hilarious! Very observant of you! Keep being awesome.

Great idea! I was judging by blocks. Run for a couple blocks, walk for a half block. That seemed to work.

Oh that's great! I have an app called maymyrun.com . What is yours called?

I absolutely love my fitbit. It is a high end pedometer with alitmeter as well. It shows steps taken, flights of stairs, calories burned, miles traveled, and it records sleep patterns.

We had this the other night also and it was pretty good!

Grade B Maple Syrup!!

Awesome job!

To become healthier, feel better about myself and to look better in my clothes. I have to admit upfront that I can be forgetful with my schedule as busy as it is. I'm…

I totally agree with this one! It is really uncomfortable to run. A good sports bra helped for me.

I have that book also and was going to try it a while back. How do you time yourself? I couldn't find an interval timer.

I am also a new runner. I can barely run a quarter of a mile without stopping but I will get there! My motivation is the "Run for your lives Zombie Horde" I am doing in October. Guess I should have started sooner! It is a 5k obstacle course while being chased by zombies! Good luck and I would love to share stories!

Yuck... and I'm Japanese! ;)

Hahaha! That is funny... well not funny that you have diabetes. Sorry about that!

I totally agree! I've noticed that I really take a look at what I ate and whether or not it was worth wasting the calories on. Also, in a weird way, my own log makes me feel guilty. I don't like my log to be in the negative at the end of the day so I will go out and do more exercise, even if sometimes I don't feel like it.

I eat it like rice. I rinsed it, sauteed it in a tiny bit of olive oil so that it got toasty and then added water according to package instructions and boiled. I sprinkled a little bit of chicken boullion powder into it before boiling and it came out really good!

Thanks for the info. According to your information here I am not over in my protein. I do show on one particular day my vitamin A was over by 411% and Vitamin C by 243%. Should I be concerned about this?

Great question! I noticed that I was over in protein also and was wondering the same thing. For me the protein helped me to not be hungry longer.

I agree with this somewhat. My experience at express is that most things seem to run small for me due to my chest. What I don't agree with is how it was delivered. She could have found a softer way of delivering the message. Don't let her get you down. Keep on keeping on and your self confidence will trump any bleep bleep…

I am right where you are... 5'5 and 144. My goal is to lose about 20 lbs. I got down to about 134 about a year ago and then gained it back. :( Hoping to keep it off this time. Good luck to you!

Will be 41 this year! Just started this program to lose a few pounds and tone. I could definitely use the support and motivation. Please feel free to add! Thanks! Jody

I totally can relate to this and this is probably my biggest addiciton as well. Since starting MFP I have been able to somehat manage this but I know that sooner or later the binge will happen. I try to let myself have a little bit of something, but I also notice that I am an emotional eater. As long as I am not stressed…

I am new on here as well and can definitely use the motivation and support! Please hold me accountable! :)
