Use the recipe builder. For those meals that I cook on a regular basis (like alot of crockpot recipes). I enter all the ingredients which is not a problem becuase most everything is already in the system and then create my own. But I don't share on the community recipe tracker since its my own personal I don't feel the…

OMG!! Sloppy women, high maintenance women, women who wear makeup, women who don't.......who cares people?!?! I'm happy for you either way. I'm there to work out and worry about myself. We are adults - we are not in highschool anymore!! Must we be so catty?? Do the guys have conversations about this? No! So why do we??

I love spin class! I was so burnt out on same old aerobics classes so tried spinning. Its the first cardio I've done where I felt like I saw almost "instant" results. My legs started slimming & shaping up very quickly - especially in the quads and inner thighs. And my arms too! I was surprised at how much of a workout your…

Well first off I invested in a oversized lunch bag to hold all my stuff. Everyone teases me but I don't care - it keeps my food cold and enough room for lunch & snacks so I'm not tempted to go to vending machine. Plus we have problems with people stealing food out of other people's lunches if kept in the 'community'…

Unfortunately - its more about what sells magazines - they're looking at the bottom $$$. After having a subscription for 2 years, I got very disappointed and did not renew.

About 4 years ago I tried eHarmony based on the compatability & that they claimed to be christian/religous site. Weeellll....it set me up with my EX - husband!! Lol! :noway: which we got a good laugh about. If you think about it we did have alot in common....same area, same age range, 2 kids but that also told me it really…

Ever seen that poster that say "You'll regret eating that cookie but you'll never regret working out"? I have that posted on my bathroom mirror. I'm not a very athletic person so I generally don't enjoy working out so I have to force myself to go...but I ALWAYS feel better afterwards. Try changing it up - now that weather…

Thanks for your story and update! I upped my cals one week ago today. Right now I've only raised up to my BMR because don't have nerve to raise it anymore right now. Middle of the week I weighed and was up 2 lbs. But this morning I weighed and remained consistent with what I was a week ago. On one hand its been hard eating…

Apples, of course. Mix it in with the Jello Sugar Free Chocolate pudding (60 cals) - tastes like a reese's cup - yummy! Mix it in with plain fat free yogurt and maybe a little honey.

Take any flavor sugar free instant pudding mix (I like vanilla or chocolate). Mix it with HALF the amount of milk the box calls for. Stir until dense then fold a tub of cool whip into it. Makes a great topping for cakes or you can put in middle of graham crackers and freeze!

Bump! may have to stop by store & get cauliflower on way home to go with my grilled chicken tonight!

:happy: Ahhh - DING! light bulb just came on - think I got it!

I read your OP and thought I understood it. Then I read everyone's questions and confused!! So PLEEEEAASE dumb it down for me! According to fitness frog, my TDEE is 1948. My BMR is 1352. So on days I do cardio, basically I have 600 calories to burn and not have to eat back, right? Which works out for me because that's what…

I go to an LA Fitness in my area and pay $29.99/month and that allows me to go to any location I want

Hi Everyone! I found this group this morning and decided to join. Just last week I decided to up my calories because I've been actively doing MFP since end of December and honestly have not seen any weight loss at all. I lost about 3 lbs but then due to sickness for me and then my daughter I went about 3 weeks with out…

What a cutie you are!! You look great!! I'm sure you're so excited that swimsuit season is coming soon!!! :happy:

I was just about to say that! You look amazing!!

Thanks for this info! I'm basically same height range and weight as you (5' 4" and 149 lbs). I also only work out 3x week but vigourously (spin class, bootcamp). So this makes me feel more positive about my decision to up my cals!

I did the exact same thing today! Hoping I'm doing the right thing but I've been slow to start and honestly been on this journey since January. Admittedly I have not been consistents with workouts but it seems every time I take a step forward, then I take a couple steps back. So I was concerned that my body was conserving…

Was having a good hair day :smile: so felt like taking a pic.

Wow! this was really interesting - and the first thread that I really understood! You've put it into perspective for me!

I think I've seen them or something similar at Trader Joe's

I was just looking at labels the other night at the grocery store! I was also shocked to see how much more expensive natural peanut butter is! I know its nothing compared to the organic but still a small jar of name brand was around $6. So just FYI, Kroger brand natural peanut butter is truly natural - I looked at the…

bump!

BTW - have you put this in the food tracker? Just wondering if i make them can I do a search for it or create my own?

yummm! Last night I bought all the ingredients to make the banana choc chip muffins off the skinnytaste.com site but these are about 50 less calories! I'll try these instead!

Might try trick my 2 picky kids with this tomorrow to go with our bar-b-que chicken.
