Try the charbroiled pork (or chicken) over vermecille noodles. it's also called Bún Thịt Nướng http://www.whats4eats.com/pastas/bun-thit-nuong-recipe You can also have their noodle soups. (Pho) Stay away from the rice plates haha

I set mine as desk job (because i do have a desk job). Any additional exercise (walk, walking up the 26 floors) i do, I log it.

I track all the veggies I eat even if it's only 7 or 8 :) hehe

I'm guilty of logging my sugar free hard candy :embarassed: I even logged in my zero calorie diet soda in the beginning :laugh: ... tracking it just to "keep track" haha. Not anymore though. I don't chew gum but if I did, I probably would log it so I can keep track. It's not that silly. It's your log, so you can log…

thanks for sharing!

HAHA Congrats! my legs are the first thing that shape up, now the hard part, the ever so stubborn mid section!

thanks!

are protein shakes good after a work out then?

This is the one I bought and if you look at the pics, I posted one with me wearing it (next to a quarter). I really wanted want to know how big it would look on my small wrist but couldn't find pics so i took the chance but i love it...and had to post a pic for others to see! all I wanted was a basic one and this one is…

I agree!!!!!

I bought the Polar FT7. I posted on here asking others about it and after some research, I went with that one for my personal taste on style, etc.. But While searching for them, i've seen them for as cheap as $40 on amazon I actually thought having a chest strap would be a pain in the *kitten* but since it's more accurate,…

Don't hate water! it's very possible that it can be water plus, it seems you're weighing yourself too often. I have that problem. I weigh myself EVERYDAY and it really does fluctuate. I only log in my weight weekly though to get a better picture of my weight loss :)

The best way to really know is getting a HRM. You can always guess but you'll never really know because it will just be a "guess" After I bought my HRM, I noticed that i burn calories differently even with the same work out on different days...

ever since I started using my heart rate monitor, i add my own exercise with the calories burned. Under "Exercise" you go to "my exercise" too add your own

so, if I burned 727 cals & my daily is 1200, my total would be 1927.. what is "NET" ? Am I suppose to aim for my GOAL every time? (my diary for yesterday below) Totals 1,343 271 16 40 42 116 Your Daily Goal 1,927 264 64 72 22 39 Remaining 584 -7 48 32 -20 -77 Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber Sugar *You've earned 727 extra…

welcome! I found a lot of support here! Dinner was always my down fall and i hated working out but NOW i feel like a work out junkie and constantly looking for foods to fill my days!

eating more calories helped me kick start my weight loss again (i was nervous about eating more too since i worked so hard!)

Welcome! You can do it! This site helps!

I use Pandora. If you don't have unlimited Data, it'll use quite some data to stream the music. I ♥ it becasue you just choose the type of music you like... I haven't done any research on other apps. When I downloaded Pandora, I liked it so I didn't care to look for another app. If you come accross something better, please…

I hear Polar is a good brand. I ordered a Polar PT7. nothing fancy (such as gps) I can't wait for it to arrive so I can try it out!

I checked this site: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/ideal-healthy-weight cause I was curious too and I was dissapointed with the calorie burn so I don't track it haha

i'm ordering a HRM soon too cause I'd like to know how much i'm burning! Plan to take Bikram Yoga next month! HOT HOT HOT :) I went for a walk today during lunch and it was only 85 but i was VERY HOT. Mid 90s would kill me!

I always thought that I never had time either especially after I had my son last year. I leave for work at 6:30 and don't get home until 5:30 after picking up my son, dinner, and it seems there's only a couple of hours for family time/winding down/bed time. When I go to work, I park further than I normally would so I have…

thanks everyone! i will be doing more research but this def helps!

Thanks, I didn't know there was such a thing to add! I was always curious about that! :)

So most HRM have chest straps? I'm not familiar with them... that just sounds inconvenient.

I'm no help but when I was nursing exclusively, my supply decreased (noticed when pumping) when i tried to go on a diet! So I gave up on that quickly and didn't get back onto MFP until I stopped nursing during the day (11 lbs lost since in May). The lactation consultants advise not to "diet". Of course, i took that as eat…

Mom of a one year old... always looking for support ♥

People tell me i'm crazy becasue I think i'm "fat". I tell them, I don't think i'm fat, I just don't look the way "I" want to. I have "problem" areas (who doesn't?). Anyway, I "appear skinny" but when i tell people how much I weigh, they're surprised. That's usually how I get them to shut up about it. In the past 10 years…

WOW! Thanks everyone! I'll look into all these suggestions and get my dessert fix! :) Yay! You guys are AWESOME!♥
