Place snacks in the trunk if possible. . .lots of veggies, gum, water! Most Fast food places offer under 500 calorie meals/options! Subway has some good options and BK has apple fries (Never tried them but its a healthier option). Good luck and drive safely.

I had this dilemma back in march and I went to the party. . .had 2 beers (guinness only has 125 calories per drink), stuck to veggies (sans dip), and items I could count the calories for. . .my rule- if I didn't know the calorie count for the food I couldn't eat it! I was able to do this successfully. . .I even brought the…

You can subsitute Whey Protein for flour when you make baked goodies! Equal Exchange too! I made a delicious chocolate peanut butter cupcake (or 24) with chocolate whey protein. . .my only tip is to add extra liquid because it can be a bit dry! I also added it to the frosting (mixed the whey with milk) and added it to the…

Another alternative to Flour is to use whey protein. . .its an even exchange and makes things super healthy (although too much protein isn't always good). I use it in my cupcakes and pancakes for a healthier sweet! That way I don't have to feel bad about eating my sweets! In my experience its best to add a bit more liquid…

Wearing a size 14 pant (started at 22), lost a ring size and half a shoe size, and most importantly I feel Amazing!

Special K bars/crackers, carrots and other select veggies (will be ok for 14 hours), individually packaged items (fruit snacks, cheezits, 100 cal snacks) will be good if you can stick to 1 pack! GUM- lots of 5 calorie a stick gum!

Wrap it in foil with some cooking spray or olive oil, garlic, and pepper! You can of course add salt or other spices. My favorite is to add horseradish (fresh)! Pop it in the oven or on the grill for 10-12 (or until done to your preference)!

Did set one of two and did WAY better than expected- on to set two! Thanks for the best at home in front of tv workout!

I am in! I need to lose 22.5lbs. by Aug 2nd, so my goal will be 11.5 lbs!!

I feel the same way about point #2! I am lucky to have supportive friends and colleagues in real life, but I love the accountability on here and the Consistent, Amazing support! I love my MFP friends!

Thanks Kendf60- I think I would love that too! Gonna have to try it!

I love Duran Duran! AAR Rock and The Clash are awesome, but I workout to either country music (I somehow get lost in it and don't focus on time/distance) or Hip Hop. . .gets my body moving! lol Or most 80's that I can sing along with- people don't like when I sing aloud in the gym! Oops!

Gringo style chili rellenos- OMG I haven't had them in over a year! Ice Cream and cake (although I actually eat it whenever I want- just a lot less of it!) French Fries (the thought of them makes me miss them, but how they actually taste and feel later I do not miss) I guess the only one I really miss is the Rellenos and…

Sashimi, some rolls are healthier options. Stay away from the fried rice and most cooked foods (lots of oil and butter). . . California rolls, veggie or avocado rolls, salmon or tuna rolls. . . about 250-300 calories per roll (6 pieces). Or sashimi like tuna, yellowtail, red snapper, salmon. Say yes to the house salad and…

I log my gum, but I do so because I chew gum when I want candy or sweets. . .so it helps me track when I want candy/sweets. Its a way to help me learn if there are triggers for sweets. . .but at 5 calories a piece it never impacts my caloric intake (and I have like 6 pieces a day too! 2 at a time)!

I am doing it in my office right now! Good thing my students (college folks) are understanding and amused by my singing abilities and knowledge of the lyrics (or lack thereof)!

Go Rocks!! Love me some Rockies baseball :)

Thanks. . .gonna have to steal my mom and dad's wii that never gets used and buy me some Zumba, Dance and DDR!! Love this site :)

Finally a club I fit into! I am oddly excited because I finally have people who understand :) SW- 243.8 CW- 231.2 (dec 2 was last time I weighed in, but I have gone down another pant size- yay me! Gotta celebrate the little victories) GW- 150 is honestly my goal at this point, even though according to h/w charts I should…

Thanks so much! And thanks for the friend request. I tried Zumba a while back and LOVED it, but I couldn't walk for the next 3 days! lol. . .I may be ready to try it again :)

I am new here too and I think we have similar weight loss goals! Good luck and I am sending support from CO!:happy:
