What I would suggest is going under "Exercise", then "My Exercises". There is a place where you can create your own exercises/names. Maybe that way you could manually put it in and have your own personal exercise.

nope. i love it. luckily i don't play games really and i don't have drama. so it serves as a great tool for me to keep in touch with my friends, since i live away from where i was raised and went to school. it also keeps me up to date with community events, etc. i'm on here WAY more than facebook. :laugh: love that too!…

Yes :laugh: I use 8 pound dumbbells, that's about it. :wink:

Peanut butter and avocado are my go-tos. :tongue: I can put those two things on so many different recipes and dishes or snacks. Today I put half of avocado on my pork burger so I could "beef" up my calories for the day. :laugh: With exercising almost daily, I really need to compensate.

I think you'll want to experiment some more with them.:wink: I bet the reason they taste different and "better" at restaurants is because they are loaded with salt. ... And I'm sure other spices. I love love black beans. I make black bean burgers, black bean soup, put them in burritos, make salads, etc. I also use spices…

I have also read that the metabolism works better with eating after a workout. However, I do both depending on my schedule. If I'm making a heartier meal, we workout then eat. If it's a quick light dinner, then off to a meeting, then a late workout. Either works for me, as long as I follow two personal rules: 1. If no…

Hello :happy: So glad to hear about your journey. You are almost there! I like meeting new people that are into Yoga and a healthy lifestyle. I'm on the last 5-10 pounds as well. But more importantly, I want to be lean and strong more than the scale going down. I love food! I love recipes, cooking, baking all kinds of…

I found a great recipe on here yesterday! I was so excited this morning, that I even posted it on Facebook! :laugh: Ham Egg Cup, 100 calories topped with green onion and a little grated cheese. I had this with an English Muffin with Butter Spray and Homemade Raspberry Jam. :happy:

Hello candykay! :happy: I will send a request. I'm kinda hardcore about MFP :happy: I only say "kinda" because there will be days that I won't log in (this is rather rare), but mostly I'm 95%. I workout almost every day and I'm on this site daily via phone or computer. I'm totally obsessed. I am going on vacation in 2…

Today is going to be more of a challenge . . . I packed a pork patty (leftover from last night) and I'm going to put fresh avocado with it. Now what else, I haven't decided. I'm thinking of just pairing that with some veggies and a chocolate Silk. :happy: BrayyNicole: your lunch sounds so yummy!!!! :bigsmile:

I'd say as far as easy would be fruit, yogurt, granola. You can do oatmeal with toppings. Peanut butter with banana, waffle, toast. If you are in a major hurry, then you could grab a protein bar. This morning I made a Ham Egg Cup. It was very easy and very good. I got the recipe off a post here from yesterday. It's 100…

I enjoy beer as well. I like light beers, ambers and dark. Okay, so I'm not too picky. :laugh: If I'm out locally, I'll pick up a Coors Light here and there because it's low cal. If we are at the Mexican restaurant, then it's Dos Equis all the way. :tongue: If we go out to a cool pub or restaurant with really high quality…

I love this magazine. Thanks for posting this! :tongue:

I made this recipe for my hubby and me this morning. It was delicious!!! So fast and easy. He was very impressed. Thanks for sharing! :happy:

Thank you so much for posting this!!! My parents used to make these when they were on South Beach. The diet, not the location. :laugh: This is a great idea for something that both my husband and me can enjoy in the mornings! I totally forgot about it, until now. :wink:

I've gone through something similar and here's what has helped me in the past and recently. I watch my sodium very closely. If I get high, I really pump up the water. I also watch carbs. This has been my recent epiphany. I was eating too many carbs! :sad: I lowered the level and then I started losing again. Also, make sure…

I like the 8 oz Chocolate Silk drinks. They are so yummy and filling. :happy:

Yes, do eat. Please. :wink: Your body needs the fuel to keep up those tasks in your life. An energy bar, a piece of fruit, protein shake. Something healthy and fast. Make a list of a few healthy items that are grab and go. Keep them out on your counter, prepare them in advance, keep in your car, purse, etc. You can do…

I made a vegetarian lasagna with whole wheat noodles and vegetables. Instead of using regular spaghetti sauce, I used diced tomatoes (low sodium). It's a hearty meal, but I like heartier things when it is cold outside. I got the recipe from Eatingwell.com 414 cal per serving, good source of fiber Here is the link:…

I'm so impressed and proud of you! I mean, this is blowing my mind. You look freakin' AMAZING!!!! Way to go!!!!! :happy:

I'm weird about natural oatmeal and what I put with it. I LOVE putting sugar free maple syrup with it and berries and/or walnuts too. This rocks my world. :love: BUT if I put peanut butter (which I LOVE too) with it, I am so TURNED OFF. Just have to experiment. :wink:

Hi! :smile: I make a lot of food from scratch at home. That's why I love MFP, because under your Food Tab, you can go to the Recipe tab. This tab allows you to "enter new recipe". I list all of the ingredients and also how many it serves. Don't forget to hit "Save" at the bottom. Ha! I love this feature. :love:

I struggle with new ideas on a monthly basis. This week I came up with a new idea!!! . . . . a Veggie Salad Wrap Mix black beans, corn, fresh tomato. Add cumin, chili powder, dash of salt. Put the mixture in a lettuce wrap and topped it with a little salsa and a little mozzarella cheese. I made four servings with this, so…

I'm in for sure! :happy: 1/01/12 - 0 Minutes 1/02/12 - 65 Minutes (strength, stretch, bike, treadmill)

I like Mayo too!! :happy: SO, what I do for a lunch sandwich is I get a mustard packet (use all of it) and a mayo packet (I only use 1/2 of the packet). Since it's with a light sandwich and my extras are a fruit and or veggies, I don't feel guilty about having some. Also, half of a packet for me goes a long way and is a…

Feel free to add me. I like meeting new people and having a daily support system on the tread on the home page. To add someone, just click on the person's name or picture and then their profile will pop up. You will see a button that says "add friend" or something to that nature. Then you can add a message, if you wish. A…
