The only way I get it right is to open the box, divide it to 7 equal portions (or however many it says the box contains) and then store them separately in Tupperware. It does take up a bit of room in my pantry, but at least this way I know I've measured correctly beforehand.

I understand how you feel. I also thought I'd have kids (and be married) by now, and it hasn't happened for me. For me, loneliness triggers a binge. Its like I use food to keep me company. I also grew up with a mother that harped on me for what I ate- and I wasn't an overweight child or teenager. She was heavy, and worried…

I have the Fitbit zip that tracks my steps. I have my goal set at 12,000/day (that's 5 miles). I usually make my goal (except yesterday I only did 3787, but made up for it with other exercise). It tracks Sunday-Sunday, so I'll check back in next week with my stats! Disclaimer- I don't work for the company or anything, but…

I think you'll like this. The hardest part (for me) was figuring out the thickness/time baked thing. It might take a couple trys to get it exactly how you like them, but totally worth it!

LOVE this one....in fact, I now prefer this to fast food fries. :) Fat-Free French Fries 1 medium baking potato 2 egg whites Mrs Dash salt free table seasoning (or- try the Mrs Dash salt free southwest chipolte if you like things spicier!) Scramble egg whites and seasoning together. Cut potato into thin wedges (not too…

That sounds really good! I'll also check out those other sites. I got a recipe a few years ago that is very similar to that chicken/Italian dressing one. It;s also super easy and takes very little time to prepare. One-Pan Chicken Bake I package boneless, skinless chicken breasts Kraft fat free zesty Italian dressing…

Tidesong- thanks for the recommendation. I need a new one, and I think I'm going to order this one. Looks good!

For Thanksgiving it won't be a problem, since I am going to a restaurant for Thanksgiving lunch. For my holiday party, I plan to send people home with treats. I haven't thought about what I'll do if they don't take a box of food with them. I won't be a 'food usher' lol, so no pressure to take away food. I guess if I have…

Food 7/7 Water 0/7 (I struggle to drink 8 glasses...usually do between 6 and 7) Exercise 7/7 CW (current weight) optional SW (starting weight) optional OR WL (weight loss) 2.8 lbs I have no idea how to add my points.....

I live in an area where most of us are transplants from somewhere else, so lots of us can't 'go home' for Thanksgiving. One of my walking groups has a Thanksgiving lunch planned at a restaurant nearby. Its a fixed price that includes soup or salad, turkey with all the fixings, and dessert. I plan to just eat what I want.…

1- Eat before you go. 2- Have 1 plate with small amounts of what you most want to try. 3- limit alcohol to 1 glass 4- Have a great workout earlier in the day to offset calories. That being said, I am only going to 1 holiday party this year (my own, that I am hosting). Since its only 1 party, I plan to just have a good…

Food 6/7 (I went over on my sodium 1 day) Water 1/7 (I struggle to drink 8 glasses...usually do between 6 and 7) Exercise 7/7 CW (current weight) optional SW (starting weight) optional OR WL (weight loss) 1.2 lbs I tracked Sunday-Sunday. I hope that was right.

Maybelline Falsies Volume Express waterproof is awesome, as is Milani Infinite liquid waterproof eyeliner. I can be in the pool for hours and it never wears off. On the flip side, even with make-up remover, its difficult to remove at night.

Hi Stephanie....I added you. :) We are very close in height and weight as well!

Not bad....I only mixed up 2. :)

I am in!

I love mine. I did, however, have major issues getting it to sync with MFP, and I ended up un-linking the accounts since it was messing up my exercise logs on here. That said, I still love it. Its great knowing my steps for the day, helpful in setting goals, and great for motivating you to keep active. I just keep the…

If I am going out to eat, (like I did both weekend days this past weekend) then I plan my work out accordingly. I make sure I do enough exercise to account for the calories, then enjoy! I might not lose weight on those days, but I usually don't gain.

I'm interested as well! Just let me know what I need to do. Right now, my diary is closed. Not sure how this works, so if I need to open it, will do. :)

I also weigh in daily, since for me, its the only way I stay on track and am accountable. Also, like someone above said, I like to know the effects of certain foods on my body. I also took a photo in a tight fitting stretchy top and yoga pants when I started. Then I take a photo in the same outfit for every 10 pounds I…

I'd like to try this with y'all!

I swim a lot, however, in another few weeks I think the water will be too cold. (I live in central FL). I also power walk, with spurts of jogging, trying to build up to all jogging. Once the humidity gets better here, I will start riding my bike again.

Here's my favorite chili recipe. This is enough for 8 servings (it also freezes well). I plugged the recipe into the recipe section here, and it comes to just 276 calories/13g fat/ 348g sodium per serving. Enjoy! ~2 # GROUND BEEF ~1 LG ONION, DICED ~28 OZ CAN DICED TOMATOES ~2 8 OZ CANS TOMATO PUREE ~1 (OR 2) 16 OZ CANS…

I just ordered mine. I think it looks like a great tool!

Congratulations!! I have around the same amount of weight to lose as well- very inspiring!!

I have a bikini that I bought in the size I want to be, that I will wear to the beach. I will also be showing off the tattoo I want to get on my lower back. I've had the design picked out for a long time now, but I won't get it done until I am at the weight I want to be.

G'n'R, Metallica, and Def Leppard (my first concert) I still listen to Hair Nation on xm radio from time to time.
