i personally eat sushi once every week or 2 and I make it fit into my calories/macros for the day...luckily i'm super boring and hate rolls with random things inside - that's where the calories come quickly. i prefer nigiri (just fish) sometimes with the sticky rice below it (delicious!)...even if you include the ride and…

I never snored, but I did "breath very heavy" when I was 55 Lbs heavier than I am now. My husband noted that it has been a huge change in that time. probably depends on why you were snoring in the first place...

You have beat the real big scary things. This whole "weight thing" you CAN beat. And YOU WILL! Find the energy to keep true to yourself and you will get there. Feel free to add me if you want someone to help :)

Don't get hung up on your "due date", but you really CAN get that goal weight! Please feel free to add me so we can work together towards our goals :)

I'm in IL too, and always looking for awesome friends here. Please feel free to add me :) Stay safe & warm out there - I hear it's only getting worse tonight!

I used to have a Timex IronMan HRM that I suspected was high on burns (I guessed that it was 25-50% high). I finally borrowed a friend's FT4 and wore it at the same time as the Timex one. Sure enough, the calories burned count on the Timex IronMan HRM were almost double the Polar FT4 counts. I've always heard good things…

If you're looking for another dip, try homemade guacamole (your personal recipe or something like this: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/01/the-best-basic-guacamole-recipe.html) These sound awesome - sweet & spicy shrimp skewers: http://food52.com/recipes/12339-sweet-and-spicy-shrimp-skewers Steamed artichokes are a…

I'm married, nearing 31 years old, and have no kids (just 3 cats cuz my husband and I are suckers for adorable kittens who have nowhere to go lol) I've been on this ride for ~250 days. Got knocked off track a good bit by the holidays (those delicious, delicious holidays), but I'm back on track and looking to kick my goal's…

I started getting comments at work at about 30 Lbs. lost, but I was doing it very quickly. I started getting many more comments at 50 lbs. Oddly enough I've hit 60 Lbs. lost, had the holidays throw me into gaining the last 10 lbs. back and I'm getting more comments than ever. However, the type of crowd very much defines…

AMAZINGLY DONE!

I haven't read all of the posts so if I'm repeating, please forgive me. If you don't want to drop any cash, check out YouTube first. if you can't get what you want, TRY THE FREE LIBRARY! You may have a couple days weight, but the local library will likely get you a copy of anything you want for free. Talk to the ladies…

Mine is absolutely NOT a success story just yet, but it's certainly a success-in-progress story! Plus, who is able to wander into Goodwill and manage to find a denim onsie for $1.99 for costume purposes? Me, apparently!

I despise the barcode scanner. It brings up the "exact" item, but if that exact item was originally entered by "Sally", and Sally happened to make a typo, only follow 'net carbs', etc., then that item will always come up with Sally's interpretation of the scanned item. Also, many foods change over time, so that the…

bumping to share with my FL :)

I can choose pretty easily from Subway, Chipotle & Taco Bell, depending on my mood. Subway: I get a $5 footlong that I split into 2 meals. Typically I get Flatbread w/Turkey, Black Forest Ham, Provolone, Spinach (LOTS), Cucumbers, Red Onions - 330 calories (i'm a plain jane and don't like sauce on my sandwiches, but if I'm…

Walmart makes a bag of 12 ice cream cups (6 vanilla, 6 chocolate) that are 100 calories each simply because they are a nice portion size. Most days, I plan ahead for those 100 delicious calories at the end of my day so my sweet tooth is satisfied.

work in progress - down 60 lbs. at the time of the second photo everyone looks so amazing - way to go!

I'm in IL, southwest of Chicago. I'm on a bit of an off streak at the moment, but gearing up for a big challenge starting on Monday, which i'm super psyched about. Feel free to add me - and stay warm!

Turning 30 and realizing that I hadn't done anything for my body & health since I was 15 or younger was a big part of my start towards a healthier me. Still 30 at the moment...turn 31 at the end of march :) Always looking for new motivated friends who are serious about their changes, regardless of age, though. Y'all can…

I gained ~9 Lbs. between Thanksgiving and yesterday, but man, oh man, did I enjoy myself! We drank and ate our faces off, all through a huge series of events and gatherings. Now that I know how relatively easy it can be for me to lose 10 Lbs, I'm really not worried and pleased that I was able to really enjoy this holiday…

Everyone looks so amazing! I'm down 55-60 lbs. depending on the day right now. Still looking to lose possibly about 30 or more, but working like crazy to strengthen/gain muscle as a long term goal, which will make a specific weight not important as long as I'm happy with where I end up, if that makes sense. Anyways...pic:…

Welcome to MFP & much luck on your journey! You'll find lots of helpful folks around here, and lots of helpful posts if you use the search function well. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

Mannequin

husband and i were both taught to always put the seat AND lid down. no war here :)

I turned 30 and realized that I'm probably half way through my life and I've spent it missing out on things. While i'd say i'm overall happy with how my life has gone so far (awesome husband, great family, acceptable job, etc.), I wish I had LIVED more and I very much blame my weight & the way I perceive my fat self. I've…

I plan to count for the rest of my life, especially because i plan to spend the next 5-a million years lifting so i can bulk and cut and bulk and cut and get awesome :)

I gave up a long time ago. Instead, we got one of these: http://www.fathead.com/general-graphics/christmas/christmas-tree/ not the classiest thing, but neither is a room full of broken ornaments and an F'd up tree.

For those that eat back exercise calories, an HRM is pretty much a must. Otherwise you're just blindly guessing (the MFP database is wildly off for a lot of people, for example). Even if you don't eat back your exercise calories (let's say you do the TDEE minus a certain percentage thing like I do), an HRM is a great…

Check out Craig's list for weights and such. You should be able to find them crazy cheap cuz people have them sitting in their basement/garage collecting dust for 3-427 years and then want to dump them quickly to ignore the guilt over never having used them. Great place to get a cheap treadmill, etc., as well. And…

In case rrsmith's code runs out (each person gets 4, I think), feel free to use my code as well: https://www.graze.com/us/p/QPCNH1HWU As for the voting, think of it like Netflix, only you get to put the delicious things in your face. I get the 'lightbox', which is, indeed, full of snacks that fall between 50-150 calories…
