I eat one piece of Alpine Valley Organic Super Grains bread toasted (you can get at Sam's Club), a fried egg (fried with cooking spray), two slices pre-cooked bacon and guacamole for about 255 calories. If I am feeling like living on the edge, I might throw a piece of pepper jack cheese on there as well for another 70-ish…

Also, don't think of it as a "diet"...think of it as a lifestyle change. Your diet is whatever you consume, be it good or bad. Seek professional counselling or maybe even try hypnotherapy. Just suggestions.

Sounds like Chantix...I love Chantix. I wish I could take it every night so I could have wild, vivid dreams.

I'm 47, 66" tall and weigh 206. My ultimate goal is not necessarily a weight but more of a size. I want to wear an 8 in pants. I think that is about 140-150 pounds. I will be happy in a size 10 though. I am always looking for inspirational friends (although I can sometimes be a flake). Anyone that wants to add me, feel…

Phen-Fen was a stimulant drug. This one, as I mentioned, is more like the Chantix of diet drugs. By switching off the receptors in the brain. But, like any medications, including ones OTC, there are risks. I had no success with diet doctor's combo, I don't like the amphetamines. Those present a whole set of risks…

@LeonCX I work in the healthcare field and I can tell you that Qsymia does not work in the brain. I contains phentermine, which is a stimulant and topiramate, which is typically used for prevention of migraines. I used to see a doctor in my area that specialized in weight loss and he prescribed these two medications before…

^^^ This is one of my favorites! You really have to be careful with packaged salad dressings. Not only are they sometimes high in calories and fat but they are also LOADED with sodium, which will make you retain water especially if you are not drinking TONS of water. I bought this really cool item from Amazon.com it is…

I would find a new doctor...she should be thrilled with your meticulous journalling.

He was a heart-breaker...I'm surprised that I even have any girlfriends left after the trail he left in his wake...lol

not sure how this works so here goes...

I was watching an old home video that my mom recorded back in 1987. My brother was wearing a pair of those short shorts you speak of AND he was sporting the mustache, too! I just couldn't stop myself from laughing. He looks remarkably like Tom Selleck. So much so that he could have been a stunt double or something for him.…

People do need to read this. But apparently I don't know how to get it to the top of the most "read" list.

I hope this works...my daughter 11 days post baby...and she does NOT workout...she does NOT get these genes from me! :grumble:

I need to lose 60-70 lbs. I'm in my mid-40s and finding it very difficult. I log on everyday...religiously. In Jan 2011, I started MFP and lost 40 lbs and had a consecutive streak of close to 700 days. I've been back at it for nearly a year and cannot seem to get past this 15 lb mark. I guess losing 15 lbs in a year is…

My hubby is the "primary" bread-winner. Nearly one-half of my check goes towards making sure that we have health insurance. I use the rest for things like credit card bills, cable/internet, electricity. He pays the rent, cell phone bill, life/car insurance and groceries. It works for us. I am hoping to eventually get a job…

I am schooled in medical billing/coding but since I have no experience, I am finding it difficult to find employment in my field. So I pay the bills by working registration in the emergency department at my local hospital.

Bump for deliciousness!

Bump for all the awesome ideas!

Yeah, I pretty much have the same problem. I exercise 3x per week by doing my little walk/run routine for 3.5 - 5 miles each time. I have tried eating at 1200, 1350 and 1500 calories. I have been on the verge of giving up, too. But I don't I keep on dredging through it. I figure if nothing else, I will at least be a one of…

The job that I am interviewing for tomorrow. It is a medical coder position at a top-ranked medical school. The pay and the benefits are out-of-this-world. Otherwise, I would just want to be independently, stinking, freaking wealthy and my job would be to just enjoy the rest of my life doing whatever the heck I felt like.

Love your cheekbones...very nice! Keep up the good work!

Must try this...sounds delish!

Dannon Light & Fit Greek is my all time favorite. Only 80 calories per individual cup and I believe it is 12g protein. I've been buying it in the 32 oz size container and a serving is 8 oz with 110 calories. Just sayin' :bigsmile: ETA: I like to add a little Go Lean Crunch Granola...makes a delicious healthy breakfast

I'm game. Feel free to use my profile pic :flowerforyou:

Quinoa is crazy high in nutrition. You also have to take that into consideration. I like to choose quinoa over rice due to the nutrition is better. You just have to choose wisely what you are going to eat.
