I'm with you! I had a baby in Dec. 2007. After 3-4 months I weighed more than when I was 9 months pregnant. I started going to the gym in Feb. 2008, and I can't remember when I signed up here, I think in April. Since February, I have lost 25 pounds, just got below 200 pounds. I am fighting every day to keep it that way. I…

I agree with the Chex mix. I love the caramel pieces, but there aren't enough of them. Which is probably a blessing. It's an awesome 3pm snack, where you are almost burned out from your day at work, but don't want to ruin dinner, or your whole diet!:tongue:

This is kind of weird because I have never heard of the Hungry Girl recipes until today. My co-worker was just asking me about it a half hour ago, and ordered a recipe book already. I'm interested too to see what it is like. She was reading me a few recipes, like chili cheese "fries" made with butter nut squash instead of…

Even carrying your baby around the house counts as excerise! Look it up when you log your work out time, it's in there! What I like to do on the weekends when I don't go to the gym, is just get up and play! If the weather is nice, I like to go to a park, trying to keep up with my 16 month old is like running. I get break…

This happened to a friend of mine. She was getting ready to go to Hawaii, so she working very hard at a 1200 calorie diet w/ exercise. She leveled off after a while and stopped losing weight but was maintaining. One of the doctors that she works with is a body builder, and he told her she is not eating enough calories! Go…

I've been there too! It totally sucks falling of the wagon. But then I try to remember how far I've come, and also remind myself that it is ok to indulge once in a while. Otherwise you will make yourself miserable. I like to try to get back on track as soon as possible. So when I look at my nutrition and exercise reports,…

Has any one heard of a safe diet pill that actually works? I would love to think there is a magic pill out there, but I don't want the jitters or a racing heart. Anything herbal would make me feel better. My mom used to take flax seed oil and rose hips I think? I am working out at least 3 days a week, normally 4 days, and…

Jalapeno sourdough bread with artichoke and garlic hummus Talk about major flavor!!! :love:

I think that coffee is from a powder, but I'm not sure. So here is what I have in my calorie counter book. For 8oz it lists 60 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. Powders seem to less calories than a cream based product, so I guess it depends on the machine. The ones I've seen workers refilling have been powders. Just remember…

I think with out the top bun and all of the other condiments like mayo or "special" sauce, you could still look up the nutrional value, but reduce the serving size to "0.75". Something is better thn nothing! And I think it is better to over estimate. I also have a calorie counter book. It's actually called "The Ultimate…
