  • Easiest way for me to figure it out= buy a cheap food scale. then you just put the meatloaf on and record whatever it says! hehe. this is what i do for my meats mainly and a few other things that only seem to go by oz. They have digital and reg and they're pretty cheap! Great investment i think.
  • I think its a great idea if thats whats going to work best for you and keep you happy! if the scale brings down your mood for the day then it obviously isnt doing you any good, and you will be able to tell if your losing weight by your clothes and such anyways!! Im one of those "weigh everyday or else" type people who…
  • Adding that to my list! thx! ive been wanting to eat more fish but I dont really like fishy fish, and most halibut and such I find is breaded.. and delish of course =)
  • I think the people that appreciate it the most are the ones that work for it. Like anything in life, like how people who work hard for money are more appreciative and do better with it then the ones who have it given to them. So in a sense, I think that she didnt have to really WORK for it, so she probably doesnt…
  • I really believe its nowonder so many people are overweight. there are so many GOOD tasting things that arent so high in cal/fat/sugar/sodium yet they continue to make/sell such "bad" things. Like I wonder why do they even make regular mayo? why not just light?? who needs all those extra calories? why cant everythign be…
  • The biggest motivation I can tell myself is just a day at time!! I wake up and I TRY to do good all day. thats my goal. Not to do good all week, just to do good (stay at/under my cals) TODAY. and then if i do it, I feel great~! And if i DONT, well then I move on and start again the next day. Its definately REALLY helped…
  • I looveee the chicken spinache one!! sooo good!! And so filling!! I usually share them with a friend (since they make two halves) and then only half the cals, and maybe a salad or apple with it! but i cld def eat the whole thing and be stuffed! yumm!!!!
  • I also noticed as soon as i finally started getting serious about exercise the weight stopped coming off as fast, i used to go down a little everyday it seemed and now ive went up, and then finally back to where i was over a week ago, it kinda sucks sometimes but at the same time, I noticed my jeans were loser, and as im…
  • I was just thinking about that! My goal is to be at my goal by my birthday, haha if that makes sense, and the last two years we've went to the melting pot which is basically way too much food and all fondue and cheese/meats/desserts blah blah blah. BUT as great as it is it always gives me the worst stomach ache, and ive…
  • Hi! This site is very addicting!! im not sure I understand your question though. maybe im just having a blonde moment... how do i get on with how much i have to eat?
  • I like to think it does. Especially if its so close to your actual goal intake (a few hundred) considering -3500 calories equals losing a pound I would think if you were -500 one day, -800 one day, -300 another day, whatever, it would all add up the same!! However I've noticed that going way over, like 1000 calories haha,…
  • Ive never had them but love Kashi cereal! Maybe ill get some today! Thx! How many calories do they usually run??
  • Well i cook for one a lot because my bf works swingshift, and also eats different things, and i like to make soups in crockpot and then freeze some or put them in containers for the next few days, but i know you mentioned no leftovers soo...... maybe you could make some half recipes.. orrrrr you could have like…
  • I tthink you should just try a few different times and see what works best for you!! I used to always do it at night, but ive learned if i do it at about 1pm (like lunch break) that ill actually get it done, and im NOT good at waking up and doing it right away, too tempting to just sleep a little longer, plus i'd get…
  • I try to have more like a cheat meal, and still log my cals, even if its way high and embarrassing.. But lately as ive gotten closer to my goal it hasnt been working like it used to, and i spend all week trying to "lose" what i "gained" from that day, so I might have to cut back to every other week or something.. But when…
  • beaaautifffulll!!!
  • Crock pot chicken salsa? http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=672711 Super low cal and TASTEY and soooo easy!! Literally takes less than 2 minutes to dump in crock, and very minimal ingredients!! I saw it on sparkrecipes as one of the top rated recipes. I used mine with a "healthy" tortilla but i see a…
  • so if your desired weight is 120lbs youd have to have 1200 to maintain?? I feel like that would be low enough to still be losing weight?! haha otherwise that means I'll have to stick to 1200 and be hungry to just maintain 120?? Hrmmmmmmmm hehe
  • Now I want to know how you guys like it!! Maybe somebody will post whose tried!! I could use a good detox and cleanse! =)
  • This sounds crazy and almost gross yet at the same time delish and i want to make them!!! Black beans!! who would of thought...How many cookies did it make for a batch?
  • About the dont say anything you wouldnt to their face, yes i would totally say this to your face if I saw you at the gym or heard you say this. But would you say this to all the people struggling to make a change in the new year?? I doubt it But anyways, good luck on your weight loss, the scale will budge eventually!!
  • If you NEED those machines and they dont- go buy your own and have it at home so you dont have to worry about them. And no need to PM somebody if they post on here for the world to see theres a "reply" button for a reason. So get over YOURSELF and your 'right to these machines' Pathetic.
  • Ive just been thinking about this all morning and still find it irritating to post on a site to motivate and support people about how much you dont support people locally! I would think you'd be proud so many people in your town are trying to turn their lives around. And makes me sad because thats why people give up. And…
  • Maybe a pedicure, clothes, hair?
  • p.s. with all due respect to the people who made NY resolutions to start going to the y, mostly you know you won't keep it up, I know you wont keep it up with a very few exceptions. So figure it out already and leave the machines and weights for those of us who are really there to worlk. I'm very frustrated and it's…
  • no sugar applesauce YUUUUUUUUUM!!!
  • I dont necessary believe this at all. I lost about 40lbs with hardly exercising, just walking somedays if i felt like it, do a video if i felt like it, some weeks i'd do nothing, just changed my diet, and none of it came back for the first time!! When I worked out a lot a few years ago and lost weight, as soon as i stopped…
  • Is there still a thread like this somewhere?!!
  • eat more =) take a day off and have a good meal! When i started to have a "cheat" night and have like pizza or just something over my cals and a day of rest i started losing again.
