Peanut butter has been the one thing I have had to banish from my kitchen, sadly, as I think it is a very good food nutrition wise. I can have other things in the house that are not "good" such as potato chips and not be tempted to eat them, or only in proper portions, but the peanut butter...once the jar is open, a…

I have had the C25k printout sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks now, thinking to myself...someday. It's been years since I ran (like maybe 30?lol). I bought a treadmill about 2 1/2 weeks ago and made a desk for it and have been walking on it a lot while browsing, talking on the phone, tv, etc, going only at about 2.5…

Thanks for the recipes, I'm always looking for ways to make chicken breasts taste better. I have a foreman grill which I've been using a lot lately. Here is what I have been doing for chicken breasts and pork chops and I really like it. I have been taking a 10 oz box of frozen spinach, thawing it out, squeezing the water…

You look great! You have inspired me to dust off my old P90 videos. I did it a couple of years ago but fell off the wagon. I'm determined that this time I'm going to get healthy and have been walking a ton on a new treadmill I got but I did enjoy doing P90 and am going to start that up again to get some strength training…

Thanks for the topic and the replies. I have mainly been using quinoa as a substitute for meat in chili or like rice (I make spanish style quinoa instead of rice). I love the suggestion to steam it instead of boiling and am going to try it today. I also am going to try the broccoli recipe as it sounds wonderful. Thanks!

Pasofan thanks for posting that recipe! I always thought I only liked creamy salad dressings (I think cause of never liking bottled "italian" types). I just made some of this recipe that you posted and used in on my salad and am blown away! I added some crushed garlic and a little mustard. Wow I'm in love! New favorite for…

I love Turbo Fire! I'm in week 10. I had to stop for a week and a half due to somehow pulling a back muscle when I landed from a jumping jack. I think it was just a freak thing cause no trouble now. I'm losing weight but the big thing is how much more endurance I have now! Feel so much better! I have the advanced videos…

I like Hidden Valley Ranch lite dressing but it does have 80 calories in two TBSP. I yesterday tried a recipe that uses 1 pack of the dry Hidden Valley Ranch mix, two cups of greek yogurt ( I use the 2 percent Fage), and 1/3 cup of 1 percent buttermilk. Its pretty good and only about 25 calories for the two tablespoon…

Butter Chicken with rice and a lot of naan bread. And some french fries and Karmel Sutra ice cream!

Hi there, good job on your weight loss so far! I took a look at your food journals recent entries and it looks to me like you're not eating enough. I see a lot of days where you are 1000 under your calorie goal. I am no expert, having started in July, but when starting I was using the MFP goal and not eating back any…

I have had my Bodymedia Fit for one month. What I have been doing is using MFP to keep track of my food eaten. Each day on the BMF activity manager I use "daily estimate" under "nutrition" at the bottom of the activity manager page and I plug in my calories from MFP. I just try to eat a deficit of around 1000 each day.…

Try not to be discouraged! I know its hard but if you stick with it you'll rapidly improve I promise. I just started week 9 and am at least 100 lbs overweight. When I started I just tried to keep up with the movements and not worry too much about intensity, just keep moving..that in itself was plenty intense. But very soon…

You don't look like a big fat slob at all to me. You look strong. Keep up the good work!

Hi, I got mine three days ago and really love it so far. I have not been using the food database on the Bodymedia website because I have a lot of recipes and such saved here. There is a spot on the bodymedia website to just put in the number of calories you ate that day. So I take the calories from here and plug them in…

Thank you for the replies. I'm going to up my calories some and track over a longer period of time and see what happens. Those links were great Ladyhawk, thank you. Thanks myurav for the Fat2Fit link, that looks awesome and I'm going to subscribe to the podcast! Grokette, thanks for your input. The one time in my life that…

I just got a Bodymedia Fit yesterday, so today is my first full day of use. I also have a Polar HRM that I've been using. So far the BMF looks like its numbers are reasonable in regards to my non exercise activity. I'm going to end up with about 3500 calories burned today 950 of which were when I was exercising. So had I…

Wow!!

Wow!!!! What an inspiration! You look fantastic.

This is fantastic! I can only imagine how amazing you must feel. Great job!

Well done!! You look great :)

You gals look fantastic! I love that last picture :)

You look so wonderful :) Keep up the good work! We're all rooting for you!

Great work!! You look wonderful! I'm so happy for you. I started at the exact same weight and have a tentative goal of 150. I'm down 15 pounds so far, but the more important thing is the confidence from knowing that I am finally doing this in a healthy way that will be sustainable as a way of life! Keep up the good work!…

Hi there! Where do you see how many days you've logged in? And what is a "wall"? thanks!

Thanks for the great post. I had been coming across some really boorish and imo childish posting behavior in a few threads over the last week or so, and it kind of soured me a bit on reading the forums.

For kind of like a calzone, I use a Sara Lee pita pocket, two tablespoons of Ragu sauce or the like, onions, a serving (17 pieces) of Hormel turkey pepperoni, and 1/4 cup of skim mozzarella and I put it on my Foreman grill clone...it tastes great and is 250 calories. About 1100 sodium though, mostly from the turkey…

I think you're fine! I eat at Chipotle fairly often when traveling and I always get a burrito bol with rice, black beans, chicken, and tomato salsa. Oh and I usually ask for some fajita vegetables as well. According to their nutrition calculator this is 510 calories and good protein and fiber. It is high in sodium though…

I just ordered a bodymedia fit yesterday, then this morning I decided I really wanted the display for it too and ordered it this morning...both items should be here on Monday and I can't wait! I'm a little bit of a gadget freak. Part of me is worried that I'll discover that my normal daily burn is abnormally low or…

Oooh this sounds great, I love chili! I'm going to try this recipe soon. Here is another one that I made last week and that is delicious, even though it has no meat in it...It's Quinoa Chili. I made the recipe as written other than leaving out the zucchini and it made 11 cups, with just over 200 calories per cup.…

Wow, I had totally forgotten that I have a clone of a Foreman grill hiding in my cupboards. I never used it for much. I dug it out today after seeing these posts! Whoever mentioned potato wedges, I thank much! I've tried making oven fries several time with unsatisfactory results. Today I cut up a potato, sprinkled some…
