im with ya, I want the 40 pounds gone by May too!! lets do this

to me it is not the same flavor u might be thinking. I can handle it like this , but I dont like it in cakes or cookies.

Food network is great for recipes but not giving the facts. Most chefs like that dont care what the calories are just that it taste good. I am teaching myself to go back and break down all my recipes and get the nutrition facts so I can post them for others. Try doing this: enter in each item that she is using and how much…

I make my 4 cheese potato soup ( however not healthy) Chili Seafood Gumbo Brunswick Stew and my fav is taking a 10 pound Boston Pork Butt ( butcher it a little) and put a dry rub on there and slow cook it for 6-8 hrs

I was a huge Mt Dew fan and the start of the year I cold turkey quit drinking anything with caffeine in it. I am getting in 80-100 oz of water a day, then treat myself with a Sprite some times or a G2.

what kind of pasta are you talking about

after I lost 140 pounds back in 2005.. I had no choice but to have a tummy tuck and breast lift ( w/ some DD implants :) ) and thou I have gained 50 pounds back my tummy is still in good shape and toning up nicely as I keep walking and doing sit ups

yes that sounds good. I use lemon rind in alot of recipes

try making a dressing at home ~ mixing EVOO, some basil, pepper, garlic-minced, oregano, you can add a flavored vinegar if you like

i personally like a packet of grits and one egg. you could try making some light pancakes in batches. You can place them in the fridge already cooked or batter can hold for about 3-4 days as long as it is covered well. and if you are in a hurry get some Boost high protein drinks. you could also try lean pocket breakfast (…

Im right there with you honey.. dang TOM does it everytime

sugar is 3 grams bittersweet chocolate is not the same as milk chocolate so you dont have the same sugars in it. oh course if you add more sauce over the top of your shrimp when eating you might eat a little more sugar and cals

kiwi starfruit papaya ( but I can only get these in the summer)

walking does it for me , but I have adding in my walking with uphill walks, htting the local trails and all so I put more force into my walks to work those hips. I lost 1 inch in 2 weeks by doing this. I also walk a min of 1 .5 hours 3 x a week

alli is the only FDA approved product you can get OTC. I took it when it was still a prescription and it did help me to lose an extra pound or two each week during a 3 month trail of taking it. It also lets you KNOW when you eat something that you shouldnt. ( meaning have a bathroom near by)

lol, that song is up there with the OLD classic of " I like big butts" .. from the 1990's I was in middle school and I hated that song..

THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT- a sub to meat must feed us the same factor in protein, vitamins, etc... ~CHEF JENN~

you could enter the broth but instead of saying you had 1 serving of 1 cup. enter .25 of a cup the chicken is just absorbing the broth and mainly the sodium from it. You can make your own chicken broth by putting your chicken in a stock pot and with about a gallon of water and boil it and then return to low heat for about…

use your measuring cups. after it is cooked. dont pack it in though. 1 cup is 8 oz and when you enter it in it lets you put how many oz or cups you ate. depending on what your calorie intake is a serving is about 1/2 a cup. Then add about 2 oz of chicken and 1/4 cup of sauce and you have a nice meal

i lost 140 pounds in 8 months after gastric bypass and I had alot of loose skin and ended up getting a tummy tuck to remove it. 15 pounds worth the skin to be honest. now I have a much better figure than flaps of skin around my waist and hips. I gained some weight back over the years so Im getting another 40 pounds off but…

idk how much it will help but I know on the disney channel they show how to help kids make better food choices and exercise and how to learn what food portions they need. you could check out the website

you can log it and just just change your viewing party if you dont want others to see. but we are human.. we have good and bad days. i log mine everyday. so i can see the things I ate each day , b/c i sure will not remember what i had last monday but i use it to look back and see what i had and that way i can plan meals…

dominos pizza WTH.. that is like torture to some ppl. they should really screen what they put up on here

oh I love my basset hounds! I also volunteer with Basset Hound Rescue of GA. and I rescue them from kill shelters, take them to the vet , foster them and take them to adoption events where they can find NEW forever loving homes. It is the best feeling to know I saved a doggie and brought joy to another family I have…

so would you still do this and only eat your MFP calories it says to eat when you allow ur food days?

wow really I hope my on demand has this. I have charter communications

lets say on the weekends you fix up a few days worth of meals , and do you think your hubby could at least learn how to turn on the oven and pop something in and set a timer. Im a chef and my hubby does cook either but he knows how to follow directions in the kitchen If I leave them and all he has to do it pop dinner and…

to be honest I would rather go w/o than even deal with him when he pisses me off .. 10+ yrs of marriage and us having stressful jobs.. the hell with romance. I got too many other things to worry about in life.

LOL.. my stress normally comes from my hubby , so sex would not fix my stress. I might end up putting the pillow other his head

I do something close to this. I buy chicken,pork and beef in bulk then butcher what I need, weigh it out and deep freeze it until I need it and then plan out my meals each week on a small dry erase board on my fridge. I organize my pantry by baskets I got at the dollar store with 3x5 cards tape to the front of them labeled…
