  • I was trying to reduce the sugar in my coffee as well. Was using 3 sugar cubes (12 grams of sugar) and 1/3 cup 2% milk (3.5 grams of sugar) per cup when I started. That was over 15 grams of sugar PER CUP!! I tried switching to Splenda for 3 days, but it gave me the absolute WORST stomach cramps. My coffee is an important…

  • You get what you pay for with shoes. No lies! I spent $115 on them, but they FIT!!!! You shouldn't have to "break in" a pair of tennis shoes! They should fit and feel good the minute you put them on. Best money I've spent all year! Thanks everyone....I really appreciate the comments about my NSV, my writing style, and for…

  • I actually tried the C25K app on my phone, but I hated it! I ran cross country in high school, so maybe that is the problem...I'm used to just being able to run....but it's been so long! I was just hoping that getting my endurance on the elliptical would be a first step, and it seems to be working. My goal is to be able to…

  • Sliced in half, remove the stone. Poke the edible part all over with a fork. A little dash of salt & pepper, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of tabasco sauce. Sprinkle a little bit.....LITTLE BIT of cheddar or parmesan cheese on top....and broil in the oven! NOM NOM NOM!!!!
    in Avocado. How do YOU eat it? Comment by shrinkydink_mg January 2013
  • Thanks guys! I didn't add exercise calories into the TDEE because I would rather not confuse myself with the MFP calculations when I log my exercise. I generally try to eat back at least half of my exercise calories, sometimes all if the workout was more intense. I think I'll try eating my BMR plus exercise calories for…

  • You all should get some PB2!!! It's a powdered peanut butter. WAY less sugar and fat!!!! I order it online through amazon, and our local grocery stores sells another brand that is similar called "Just Great Organic Powdered Peanut Butter". a 2 TBSP serving has 45 cals, 1.5g fat, and only 2g sugar!!! I love this stuff!! I…
    in What food's calories have you been shocked by? Comment by shrinkydink_mg January 2013
  • I'm in the same boat. Started logging food 4 weeks ago, maintaining between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. I've been watching portions, and logging everything. Started working out at the gym 3 weeks ago. Monday-Saturday, doing 20-25 mins on the elliptical running the intervals program. Really great, sweat producing workout…

  • Awesome job! My body type is similar to yours, but I'm 5'6, SW of 220. What was your time frame for your before/afters. Are you only running, or doing any strength training? Daily calories?? Just curious....

  • I say give em' up! The link below explains EVERY ingredient in the shakes and what good/no good they are for your body. I don't see the point in replacing a meal with a drink you don't like when you could just eat good food! http://www.davidmodderman.com/blog/index.php/weight-loss/body-by-vi-is-it-all-hype/
