I have a Vegetti and I use a lot of zucchini Zoodles instead of pasta. It was inexpensive and I got mine at Walmart. I think it was worth the money for what I use it for.

I like them in yogurt or oatmeal. They do help with regularity, and I do think they help fill me up!

I'm in for replies too!! Trainer has me starting HIT instead of so much running for the winter, but Im a little skeptical.

Try using a smaller plate if you can until you get the hang of portion control. Food scale is also good. It just takes a little time but it is worth it.

I am halfway between Richmond and Charlottesville in Palmyra!

I bought FT 7 last year on sale at Best Buy, about $80. Love it!!

Love it! So true!!

Fork Union here!, Between Richmond and Charlottesville!

I would definately try to find someone else. A trainer should be helpful and motivating, not someone who ignores you. There are great trainers out there. Don't get discouraged with yourself because of this person. Good luck!!

I am dealing with this issue for the summer too!! I usually go to the gym around six am. I eat a snack like yogurt with granola before. drive to the gym, do my workout, (cardio and strength training, usually an hour) then head out for work. I am a driving instructor, so I have to pack a cooler for the day. Usually after…

Well Said!! I just turned 50, and have taken up running. 3-4 miles a day. I know some people don't give you credit where credit is due. Everyone has to start somewhere and anyone who can even run in Florida with the heat and humidity has my support!! We will just keep running!!

Thanks so much for helping me understand this process!!

I love these shorts from Walmart!! Just be sure to get the 7 inch ones. My goal is that one day my thighs will no longer rub together, but I'm not there yet. Also do not have a very big budget. Good Luck!!

I decided to stop buying 2-3 20 0z. Diet Cokes a day and I use that money to pay for my gym membership, and occasional session with a trainer. It was a good motivation to just fill my water bottle!!

I feel your pain!! Just turned 50 on Valentine's Day!! 30 was a breeze, 40 was not bad either, but at 50 I feel like I have to admit to being at least middle age. LOL!! I decided in Oct. of 2012 to make fifty fabulous instead of frumpy. I have lost 28 lbs using MFP, diet and exercise. I plan to lose about 20 more pounds.…

I will be 50 on Valentines Day!! Still have about 30 pounds to lose. Would love support system!!

Voted!! Good Luck!!

Me too!! Trying to be brave and post more, but mainly enjoy encouragement from others going through the same thing. Definately better than FB!!

I am in the big town of Fork Union, halfway between Charlottesville and Richmond!!

Short here too!! 5"0. Shooting for goal of 120!! 24 gone so far!!

Hi, I just got a PolarF7 this week. Many MFP users have recommended this one in previous threads. The extra plus was that it was on sale at Best Buy for half price, so original price was $109.00 and I got if for $54.00. I am in Virginia, but maybe other BB are doing same sale this week. Very easy to use, and tracks…

I can relate to this. I've been on MFP for about 2 months and have lost 22lbs. Started at the gym with strength training to try to avoid skin sag. Trainer has recommended extra protein, and sometimes I have trouble getting it in. I use Jillian Michaels whey protein powder in soy milk. 2 scoops in lite vanilla soy milk is…

I live in Virginia, USA and have found these in the local Asian Market. Ask for Shiritaki Noodles or Tofu noodles, and you can probably find them. They are awesome!!

Way to go!! I will be 50 in Feb. and am trying to think of it as "fabulous fifty"!! You are an inspiration!! You have done a great job!!

Sounds really good!! We always have Monkey Bread at our house Christmas morning. I will be trying this recipe!! Thanks!!
