  • i try not too...but i don't kick myself if i do. if i'm hungry, it eat. i don't want a "diet" to take over my life, because I'm not "dieting" I'm making healthy life changes. Yes, I'd like to lose a few lbs, but I don't want to be completely miserable or feel like i'm starving myself in order to do it. i think mfp has been…
  • nevermind - i googled.
  • kind of off topic, but where do you count the measurement for your thighs? mid-thigh? at the largest point?
  • ~ Clean off the machine after you use it, and while you're at it, throw your towel in the garbage - not on the floor. ~ Do not sit at one machine for 20 minutes. I can finish 3 sets on several different machines in the time i see some people just SITTING at a machine doing nothing! ~ Oh you're in the circuit training…
  • not sure how much help i'll be, but my daughter runs track/cross country, and her coaches require that they get new shoes every 3 months. she runs every day anywhere between 4-10 miles.
  • I have 2 - a 13 year old girl and a 3 year old boy. I'm lucky that with my current job as a counselor, i get my 42 hours of work in 2-21hr shifts so i'm home most of the week, but it can still get pretty busy, she runs track and cross country. he doesn't do any sports yet, but i'm thinking that will be coming up soon. I'm…
  • wine is my weakness...i got into the habit of having a few glasses with my evening television shows, and i think it really helped pack on extra pounds. I've managed to cut it out of a daily routine, but if i had a party to go to, i probably wouldn't not drink just because I'm watching my calories. Just be sure to exercise…
  • I agree with Popchips! I thought they would taste weird, but someone left them in my mailbox at work and I ate them because I was hungry (BBQ) and they were delicious!
  • @sleepy I can't tell with half of your face either...lol 22?
  • i think i'm the only one of my friends that is not obsessed with makeup. i don't wear any concealer or foundation or anything, and usually go easy on the eyes. Typically i buy the cheapo NYC stuff. Sometimes I'll splurge on a good mascara though.
  • yeah just add each of the ingredients and determine your portion size for each. There with probably some guestimating, but it will likely be pretty close...
  • When is the last time you went to bed hungry? Are you trying to cut down on your sleep too?? I cannot sleep if I am hungry. I don't go all out with an all-you-can-eat buffet right before bed, but I have to have something in my stomach. There is never really a good or bad time to eat. Don't force yourself to eat when you…
  • I am also at 1200 cal - my diary is open to friends if you'd like to add me. right now i'm 5'3" and i weigh 122. I initially started at 130 right before thanksgiving and am looking to get down to 115ish.
  • some fun sweatpants humor :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iDdnuGevXRA
  • i keep reading and thinking of more. definitely the people who don't say thank you when you hold the door, people who let the door close in your face. and the mall! the kiosks! people trying to hand you stuff, even going as far to walk with you a few feet. how every single store wants you to get their credit card for 15%…
  • whoops. that would be me. but really? pajama pants or sweats? there are worse things people can (and do) wear in public. many times I will go shopping right before or after i go to the gym...and guess what i'm wearing? well - maybe not pajama pants, but i havent ruled it out yet. (sometimes you just run out of gym…
  • I suddenly have a craving for M&Ms and cheetos.
  • I think it's awesome. My daughter (now 13) runs track and is on the cross country team (one of the best in the nation) for her school, and her coaches are intense. She trains every day - winter, summer, spring, and fall. In the summer they have a running club and there are lots of boys your sons age doing the runs...and…
  • How about some angel food cake with fruit and cool whip?
  • Yeah, breakfast is definitely the easiest low-cal meal of the day. fruit, oatmeal, and eggs are the way to go, even cereal isn't bad. I usually have either an egg sandwich (1 piece toast, 1 egg, 1/2 slice of cheese, 1 slice of bacon) or oatmeal, and i'll add fruit if I'm not fully satisfied, or sometimes i'll just have…
