I can't wait to try all these recipes. Thank you all :)

Ohhh, look what I found! http://www.theyummylife.com/Zucchini_Brownies

I think it is great. I kind of wish it were required for all restaurants to at least list it somewhere, if not on the menu. A friend of mine had been overweight for a long time, and decided to do WW. She lost like 80 pounds really quick, and I asked her what helped most from WW. She said it was just being aware of how many…

Do you mean premade shakes, or recipes for making them at home? My mini blender has been getting a lot of use lately, but I don't recommend the shake I made just now. I went a bit overboard on the protein powder and peanut butter, and it is way too thick. :)

Me and the scale didn't talk for years, since 2007 specifically. The pressure of hitting a specific number weighed me down more than my actual body weight did. I recently got back together with the scale, though. It is a trial reconciliation. Once a week visitations. I have to remember that it lies.

Count me as no food before the workout, because it makes me queasy and gives me heartburn. I can't even drink much water, because then I feel it sloshing in my stomach as I run. Ugghhh. :sick: I used to know a young guy when I was in the Air Force who ate a huge pancake, sausage, oatmeal, etc. breakfast as we were waiting…

I had the same problem a week or two ago. I thought I was going to die, I was so uncomfortable. Here's what I did for about 2 days: HOT chamomile tea with a generous bit of honey Drinking HOT water instead of cold. Lots of twisting, stretching exercises Preparation H suppository A smoothie made with: 1 tbs ground flax 1…

This thread is making me hungry for all the foods you are tired of. Mmmmm chicken....

I like Fage 4% the best, and if I'm going to eat 0% I go with Chobani because that is all they sell in the plain. They also both have some interesting fruit options, which are great for quick work snacks, but usually only come in 0% fat. I don't eat any other brand of "Greek" yogurt, because of recent reports about added…

:laugh:

Ok, I did some searching and I think what I had was a New York style hot dog. They are known to be skinny, and there are a few entries in the database. Note to self: Don't date a New Yorker.... :ohwell:

I really wanted some meat. I swear I'm talking about food.... :bigsmile:

Thanks for posting this. I have only been on MFP for a month or so, and have been changing my goal calories like every week trying to find the right balance. Last week, I did the calculations on fat2fit, and a few other places and took an average of my body fat %. They were all over the place, depending on what part it…

I won't bother trying to scare you, since you probably already know it isn't good. I had a wakeup call when my heart would pound so loud in my ears that I couldn't sleep. I replaced my table and cooking salt with Morton Lite salt, which is half Sodium half Potassium. It still tastes salty, but some people find it has a…

I love chocolate, but that much caffeine and sugar right before bed would keep me up all night long (and not in the fun way). I'm not the OP, though, so maybe this will work.

That is a bit impolite and uninformed, if I may say so. Personally, I gained weight by eating too much bad food, and that takes years to put on and just as long to take off. Now I am overweight. When I eat healthy food and track every single thing daily, I still have trouble getting 1200 calories a day. Especially if I'm…

It sounds to me like you are right on track. Losing much more than a few pounds a week isn't very healthy, anyway. 3 pounds in 13 days is pretty good. Also if you are just starting to work out, you will put on a little muscle, so you will be healthier but your weight won't change. That is where I am right now, too. Eating…

Well, I've been at the "starting" point for going on 8 months now. We get up to week 3 or 4 and then get too busy and restart at week 1. Progress is slow not because the program is hard, but because getting my running partner(s) and myself on the same schedule and sticking to it is tough. Someone always has a school thing…

So goes the saying... If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best. Run far and fast from someone who would tell you he loves you out of one side of his mouth and then from the other side say he thinks your body is disgusting, ugly, unhealthy, or untouchable. That isn't love, that is control.

Oh the Winchester boys, oh my. My favorite part of the series is the beginning of the last episode of every season... Carry On My Wayward Son. I get inappropriately emotional at that moment. Dang, lady, it is just a tv show about cute boys and monsters, and apparently I am 15 years old.
