I heard this too...I know some people can be unreasonable in reviews, so i still want to eventually try it...maybe if i can rent it somewhere...wont buy it yet though.

I think I'm going to do this- Cook the pasta in water, then heat a small pan with a bit of white wine ( I think I have chardonnay at home), a couple of drops of EVOO, garlic and then 'saute' the pasta in it...and then cover with a splash of parmesan. Right now it sunds REALLY good, since I am starving...so we'll see.

A co-worker just suggested cooking Whole wheat spaghetti, then putting it in a heated wine with garlic and then topping lightly with parmesan cheese... Has anyone tried something like that?

One step at a time....breathe. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I too have many many dozens of ounts to lose- somewhere around 100... If I look at it like that its like trying to wash the world...how does one even wash the world? One section at a time!! Start doing whatever you can, however you can, whenever…

I saw that too...Was she one of the ones sent home I guess?

For three days straight now, I've been really good ( not perfect, mind you) about drinking my water. I got out of slack with it for too long. I was pleasantly surprised for the last 3 days that I was not rushing to the ladies room every six mintues as I have before when starting to drink a lot of water, however.... Its ALL…

Some old...Some new... Keeps gettin' better- Christina Aguilera Hot & Cold- Katy Perry Just Dance- Lady Gaga Mercy- Duffy Dangerous- Offishall What you got- Colby Odonis One Word- Kelly Osborney Crazy- Alanis Morrisette Wake Up Call- Maroon 5 Labels or Love- Fergie Ready to Go- Republica Disturbia- Rhiana La La- Ashlee…

One thing to keep in mind too, is that some folks are just beginning and just learning. I've been on this roller coaster for years, literally...but once in a great while,I find myself in the presence of someone who doesnt know what I know-- I sometimes forget that not everyone has been in the game as long as I have, so I…

I agree that two pounds maybe is not what your body needs to lose. THe body hates change and will generally fight to stay where its comfortable, so it might be telling you " i'm good- how 'bout you?" IN any case, here's some tips from my website that have worked for me in the past. Good Luck! -TO BREAK A PLAEAU: these are…

That does seem to make some sense, but it seems to me that the HRM would give a pretty good indicator of actual output, so that's why its baffling that its such a big difference. I've heard that too- calorie count is if a person were comatose and lying in bed all day...but really, how realistic is that?! Obviously if were…

Totally...i could eat the whole can. Oh wait, i've done that. Yes, they are great!! :happy:

I'm sure somewhere there's the formula online- try yahoo answers- people are always getting info on there. I've done it a lot too, but I'm beyond burned out from it. I had some success there as well, but couldnt take it anymore.

I havent tried their full 'diet' plan, but I do like the cereal, the protein drinks and the protein bars on occassion. The protein bars confuse me though-:huh: they have something like 10G of protien, but they never last...I'm always hungry in a couple of hours after eating one.

[/quote] She's referring to the contests ... not gangs. Neither MFP nor this community would promote joining a gang. But if you do... I could use a new car stereo. [/quote] :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thats a good one!

Yeah! Its good!! Another one we just got for the Wii was Active Life Outdoor Challenge- same concept with the mat and all...but you are in outdoor challenges. Haven played it much, but what I did play, it was FUN!!ANother great and really fun way to get your heart pumping.

:laugh: I just had this experience...My SIL and her family were with us for a long weekend, she ate two giant bowls of cereal, and then asked for an omlet...I was shocked!!! And SHE'S the skinny one?! geez.

I got mine for christmas too and thus far, I really like it. You definitely feel some muscles adn your heart rate increases...now whethere this will replace a good old fashioned walk or a trip to teh gym I'm not sure...I've not opened all the activities yet, but I'll get there. I know with the Wii Sports game too, the…

Jillian wouldnt lie to us would she? She's an expert and she knows everything, doesnt she?! I love her!! I could easily take her word as FACT!! :laugh:

According to MFP, my daily activity burns 2360 calories. For 'fun' I wore my Polar F4 HRM for a 24 hour period of everyday living to see what it said and it read that I burned 3303 calories during normal activity ( no workouts or anything out of the ordinary) So which is more accurate? I've always gone by my Polar as…

Does anyone use a butter/margarine substitute that's actually healthier than the rest? I love I Cant Believe Its Not Butter Spray, but I know, I know...its flavored chemicals. any suggestions?

Depending on your area, try the library- there are lots of DVD's for borrowing at our libraries here. Its a nice way to 'try' them out before buying.

- When at home, or even in a restaurant, after eating, sometimes pushing your plate away is not enough. sometimes it takes pouring a ton of salt or water, etc. over the food as to make it inedible. -The garbage disposal is a wonderful way to get rid of food permanently- cant dig it out again! - Sometimes verbally telling…

Hey all- I've been on the plateau from hell for close tot a year now and I'm seriously losing my mojo!! I am at the point where I still want to lose, but I cannot fathom counting one more calorie, point, gram, set, whatever...I am seriously losing steam. I dont want to undo what I've done, but I am SICK TO DEATH of…

I just read this statement " For every pound of muscle that you add, it will burn 3000 calories a day." Is that true? I feel stupid even asking, becuase I'm confident is just one more of the 12,000,654 theories and myths out there- :noway:

I went to the State Fair this weekend- I got a fried corn dog, after eating about 1/3 of it, my stomach hurt so bad I thought I was going to puke and die! :sad: :sick: Then my husband pointed out that I got that feeling after eating too much pizza one night and another time when i ate crap all weekend. Same pains, same…

I've been having some odd dizzy spells lately-some are severe where it feels like the entire world is shifting, others its just a passing phase that feels wierd. Usually I am sitting down when they happen. I'm eating enough that I'm not starving, so its nothing like that. I have a dr. appt on Friday to check it out, but…

OMG. Two years! Ok, I''ll stop whining abotu my 11 month one. Sheesh! CONGRATS!!

So most of us are losing weight, fat, inches, whatever- Where does it go? The 6 inches I lost in the past month- where is it? Maybe I left it at the gym?

Can anyone tell me anything about this class? Never taken it, so I'm curious. Does the 'X' stand for eXhausting? eXtremely hard? eXcruciating? :laugh: I hope not...might want to give it a try!

Thanks!!! Very informative--- nice to know I'm not wasting my time w/ the cardio zone.
