I have gone, not I have went How are, not how is I'm, not Im It wasn't one misspelled word, but improper tenses and punctuation. :heart: one of the Grammar Nazis

No suggestions, but will say that if you want it, you can do it. Try posting under Fitness and see if someone responds?

Depends what it is, Cardio? go for it, if you feel OK and your energy levels are good. Strength training/lifting, then may need more rest days. I would do Zumba 7 days a week if I could:bigsmile:

My mom always used a can of V8 and onion soup mix with carrots, cabbage, celery and onions. I loved it. My DH doesn't care for it with V8 or cabbage, so I use smoked paprika and a little smoked chipotle along with lots of garlic and onion. I use beef stock instead of water. Carrots and Potatoes always go in and sometimes…

Another favorite smoothie....Remember Orange Julius? Tastes so much like one 1 c Trop 50 OJ or real OJ 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1/4 c frozen mango chunks 1/4 c ice Blend until frothy. Yummy!

I have tried so many different forms of cardio, but I have never left planning when I can go again, until Zumba. I :heart: Zumba. Doing a 3 hour Toys for Tots Zumba-thon this week with Zumba365:bigsmile:

Shots by LMFAO, El Jefe, and Fever, But truly I can't think of one I don't like after I get the moves:bigsmile:

If you don't want to miss working out all together, pare it back. I don't workout when I feel horrid, but I may try to take a walk if I'm not too sick. Pushing too hard when you are sick can make it take longer to get better. I had a cold right after Thanksgiving, but I didn't feel too bad, just congested so I did still…

I've been with my husband for over 16 years..dated from 21-28, then got married on a cold June day 9 years ago. 10th married anniversary this coming June. Yes, the minister made jokes about H-e- double chopsticks freezing over.:laugh: We all laughed, it was a very casual wedding and he knew our sense of humor was twisted.…

Zumba, anytime, all the time. I leave class figuring out when I can go again, did Zumba Toning tonight, definitely feeling the muscles tonight. I have even done 3 classes on the same day before.. Hiking when its nice..cold is ok but no rain. Precor AMT, its like an elliptical but also can use as a stepper. I took a…

This^^ for me it is Zumba! I would never have expected it. I have no rhythm and 2 left-feet, but I absolutely love Zumba. I work 12 hour shifts(7a-7p) and if I can find a class around 8 am on my work days I will absolutely stay up and go. I also like hiking and will go if its sunny, doesn't have to be warm. On election day…

Too late for tonight but Crock-pot carnitas are a favorite around here. I shared this with another MFPer and she like it also. Place a 4-5 pork loin roast in a crock pot add chicken broth about 2 inches up the side, coat exposed meat with cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic, onion powder, smoked chipotle or chili powder. I…

At 18 it should firm back up with no problem! Good for you getting healthy now.

When I have a cold..It's Airborne, Emergen-C, Hot tea, especially Lemon Ginger with extra lemon and real local honey, and I add some kind of alcohol at night(hot toddy). Hot brothy soups, V8 heated like soup(it's good!) oatmeal, oranges, I have so little appetite that I track just to be sure I get close to 1000 cals, but…

I cook a lot too. I either use the recipe builder(for frequent or more complicated recipes) or just enter each ingredient separately.

Going to try the OP's Banana/oat cookies because they sound divine. Might be just the ticket for Hiking days. But the Date/Oatmeal thing sounds good too. I'm out of Bananas, but have some dates:love: I already do banana protein pancakes so I bet I will like the banana cookies.

Healthy refrigerated soups are available at specialty store like Trader Joe's and Whole foods, but not the regular stores. I like Kashi Frozen meals and Amy's, both are healthier versions with fewer preservatives. I love the Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers as well. My Favorite in the Steamer is Honey Glazed Turkey and Sweet…

I didn't see anyone say a word about carbs being the enemy. I saw water suggested and tracking sodium:wink: I'm losing pretty fast and I eat what many people consider too many carbs, but it works for me. The Big advice is Be Patient. One of my friends started MFP and Zumba with me and didn't lose for the first 3 weeks,…

Most fun cardio ever! Great burn and the ab work really helps me strengthen my core. I had lost around 40 lbs since Feb. 2011, but adding frequent ZUmba to my workout mix late AUgust/early Sept has torched 20lbs. I had already lost some before I found MFP, (WW prior to Sept 2012) 14 lbs since Sept 13 2012. Zumba is great…

Depends on why my motivation is lagging. If I'm getting bored then "Move to the Music" by American Bang "Gives You Hell" by All-American Rejects "Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels Band "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People "We are Young" by Fun "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel "Humps" by Black-eyed…

IF you have Comcast or another cable provider that has OnDemand Programming, look and see if there is a fitness and sports section. When I can't get to Zumba or go hiking, I do one of the videos on there. Walking is one of the categories. I figure I am already paying for cable so I use it since it is part of my…

^^this^^ My Best friend is the same way, always has been. When we were teenagers and ate at the mall, I would have 1 bean burrito and a water or diet soda and she would get a Taco Supreme and Nachos supreme and a giant Soda. Then a couple hours later say she was hungry and get a giant cookie and more soda, while I got 1 or…

My 11 yr old "niece" is somewhat overweight...5'3" and 170ish. Very tall for her age and pudgy. Her Pediatrician called her obese when discussing weight with my best friend, the kid was in the room:mad: Her grandmother also gives her fits about her weight, but then feeds her things like garlic bread and mac & cheese for…

Ok, I just looked at your diary for the last couple of weeks and read your profile. Here is what I see..Not an expert, BTW, just someone who has struggled with weight their whole life too. Seeing as you are a medical biochem student, you know the body needs fuel. It looks like at times in your life you have actively…

LOL! I resemble that post! I too am a total Klutz! Yay for you avoiding that fall!

Oh and the Non-stick pan sprays...serving size is a 1/5 or 1/3 second spray for 0 calories. really? I know it [probably adds up to minimal calories, but seriously?:huh:

The Microwave soup bowls. Obviously meant to serve 1, and since the container can only be used 1x should be a single serving, but no...it's usually 2! So have to double calories.

Fresh or frozen fruit dipped in just a TBS of Hershey's special dark syrup..mmmm!

From Mayo Clinic "Newer studies have also shown that coffee may have benefits, such as protecting against Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and liver cancer. And it has a high content of antioxidants. But this doesn't mean you should disregard the old maxim "Everything in moderation."…

Oh, Little Debbie's, I miss them so. Oatmeal creme pies, fudge rounds, Swiss Rolls, Zebra cakes...MMMM. SDA crack:bigsmile: Little Debbie's are cheaper and better. I feel sorry for the people who are losing their jobs so close to the holidays, it will be so hard for them. but , Hostess, meh. not my fave evil snack anyways.…
