got a mile+ at work but hope to get some more in tonight as long as we don't get hit with that terrible storm coming our way.

I think it does not matter when you get your mile in as long as you do it. Today was a 3 mile day. I use a fitbit to measure my mileage.

pretzels and laughing cow light cheese just about 135 cal.

sounds like a doable challenge. I am game! I will try to get in an extra mile as I walk a lot at work.

I have meals picked out for different places. Olive Garden- soup salad and a bread stick, IHOP -smart fit meal, Pizza 2 pieces of cheese, I tend not to eat at all you can eat places. I have eaten a McD's burger and sm fry. The chicken sandwich has more calories. I look up what a place has before I go. It is never a…

must try this there are so many cake-fruit and soda combo's it can boggle the mind!

I tend to not log my calories on vacation and I do eat pretty much what I want but I still watch my portion size I split my desert. So I am a bit more careful but don't make my life and those around me difficult. I also will also make sure I eat one meal a day this is smaller and lighter most often breakfast.

I have the Fitbit one and love it the only thing about it that does but me is that if I am very active early in the day I earn extra calories to eat but in the evening when I am sitting down those extra calories start disappearing. I feel like if I earn calories from activity then I should be able to use them for some…

You are not doing that bad with your weight loss. Slow loss is best. Last year I only lost about 10-12 pounds before MFP this year I have done better. But you have to think you are 47 pounds lighter than you were. Even a half pound loss a week is better than gaining. Increase your exercise add a bit of weights and keep…

it you do the research from reliable sources Soy is not the big bad thyroid monster that seems to be spread on the boards. It may reduce the effectiveness of synthetic thyroid medication if taken close in time. Some people may find thyroid issues when consuming lots of refined soy products. Just because people repeat it…

Working in the cancer field I see vegetarians with cancer. The China Study is just bogus. Cancer and diet is an interesting and controversial field. Different ethnic groups have different rates of cancer. Japanese have a higher rate of esophageal cancer but lower rate of colon. People from India it is the opposite. No diet…

I have lost weight and not went to the gym but I do exercise and it cost me nothing. It is not about what you put in your mouth or your husband kid ect.. it is what is going on in your head. Fix your mind set and your weight will follow. I ate a burger this week and the wheels did not come off my bus. I did however move a…

Cheese is a gift from above. It is calorie dense but not bad for you.

That is so wonderful and I am so glad you are trying and succeeding to improve your health. Your do the right thing for the right reason! YAY! Keep it up

I eat pizza regularly it is not a "bad" food and somehow going to magically make you fat. 2 pieces of Papa Johns cheese pizza is a little over 500 cal. I rarely eat more than 2 pieces. So eat it and be happy. Life is not about derivation but moderation!

it is an oxymoron. You can be skinny and unfit but not skinny and fat. It is a term that seems to get thrown around on MFP a lot

Could not have said it better!

I have drank skim milk for almost 40 years so it is my preferred drink. My daughter has milk issues so she is almond milk all the way. As for Raw Milk, it can be contaminated with tuberculosis and many children died prior to pasteurization. I do not claim to know if it is still an issue in raw milk only know the history.

A calorie is a calorie and eggs are lo0w calorie and high protein. Fat is not your enemy too many calories is.

Your pregnant you gain weight and should not diet. Eating healthy is the key not calories.

I have a YoNannas machine it works a bit better than a blender. It makes a wonderful ice cream I also add other frozen fruit.

Soy is now bad for you really? the billion of Asians that eat it daily are all dieing of cancer. What makes burns my backside is not poptarts but people that don't know squat about real food science and believe garbage junk studies. I work in the cancer field cancer and disease do not know the difference of a healthy eater…

I dislike the term of clean eating. I like to eat lots of veggies and chicken but if I want pizza I eat it or pasta. I eat smaller portions pick my foods with consideration of what my day will be like. I have lost 18 since I started but 30 total. I eat and I am happy. 80% of my food is very good and about 20% is what ever.…

People seem to have magical thinking when it comes to food. I will eat fruit but not potato or I will not eat pasta. Your body breaks it all down to glucose and your brain needs it. Some starches will spike you glucose levels but your body knows how to take care of that. Italy eats lots of white pasta they in general are…

Listen to this smart lady she gave you the best advise. I am an RN and seen too many diabetics with life time issues.

you could try an herbal style with out caffeine. Tea is not a bad thing only the caffeine is dehydrating to your cells and you need to hydrate. I like mint or something like a lemon zinger

have you looked on Zappo's they did have running skirts

Many fast food burgers have less calories than the chicken sandwich. Hold the mayo.

I can't believe that your general health is not worth worrying about but a small amount of water weight is. There are many conditions where adding sodium is important to keep you healthy. As a nurse I know this and as someone who has had a condition that extra sodium helped me stay on my feet and keep working. sodium is…

a recumbent bicycle is easy on the joints. You also can use stretchy bands for resistance training.
