Man food here.... I keep a mix of chunked chicken breast, onions, green peppers and pico de gallo (with lots of good spices) in the fridge. Take one flour tortilla, with a 1/3 cup of fiesta/mexican blend cheese in the microwave for 1 minute. Add a couple spoons of the chicken mix, microwave for another minute. Roll-up into…

Got some support and some tough love. :smile: Drink lots of water. Check your sodium intake. Check your balance of protein, fats, and carbs. Make sure your carbs are complex carbs, not processed carbs. Dig in deep to the bulletin boards to learn how your body works. Last but not least, DON'T give up!!! Now for the tough…

Thanks everyone. It is amazing what more exercise and less food will do.... :noway:

1. Do a century ride on my bike 2. Backpacking

Awesome Job!!! You should be very proud and excited.

Actually, MFP is about all things health and fitness related. This thread is discussing mental and sexual health, and therefore falls within the purview of MFP. Thus far, in this thread, I have not seen anything that is explicit, vulgar, or inappropriate. Every thread has a topic. The topic to this thread pretty much…

There were two moments that worked together. - Christmas day 2009. Our turkey didn't have a weight on the tag, so I decided to step on the scale without the turkey, then with the turkey and arrive at the turkey's weight. I saw the scale rotate around a third time, and felt ashamed that I had passed 300 pounds.…

"Ditto" everything everyone has said. - Fire her - She is a cow - You are doing what works for you, and being successful (2 pounds a week is good for long term weight loss) - Report to your doctor, and ask for a different referral

GREAT idea!!!! Now I need to mark out 29.2 miles.

ssflbelle: When I started on my mountain bike, I literally was only able to go 2 miles. My last ride on my mountain bike was 13 miles. Keep at it and just strive to go further (even if only a hundred yards) each time you ride. Before you know it you will piling on the miles.

Sheila: If you haven't ridden it since buying it, I would say everything should be in tip-top condition. Put some air in the tires and go for it!!! You will be so excited that you did!!!!

Welcome to MFP. The site is a triple blessing. First and foremost, logging your food and exercise keeps you focused. Secondly, you will get friends who will cheer you on and encourage you. Thirdly, you have access to an incredible amount of knowledge in the forums. Here are a few pointers: - You didn't gain the weight in 6…

Congratulations on the decision to lose the weight. Here are a few suggestions: - You didn't gain the weight in 6 months, it will take longer than that to lose the weight. - Stay with it!!! You have gained enough weight that you are in for a life-long challenge. If you lose 40 pounds, and go back to your old behaviors, you…

Any time you add exercise, you are increasing your calorie burn. So long as you don't overly fatigue any particular muscle group to the point you risk injuring yourself, I would say "GO FOR IT!!!"

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! I knew you could turn that thing around!!!! KEEP IT UP. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: THAT IS AWESOME!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I would say that is deserving of the biggest reward possible!!! Perhaps a day at the spa. You deserve it!!!:flowerforyou:

Shaggy, unfortunately, last night was the finale.:sad: I don't know if you can find it online anywhere, or maybe they will re-run the show during the summer. [edit] Actually, I just checked... you can watch all the episodes at www.abc.com

There are 2 possibilities: 1) your boss is mentally unstable: does your boss have weight issues, and see sabotaging others' weight loss efforts as a way of exerting control over other peoples' weight since s/he can't control his/her own weight? 2) your boss is not aware of the signal: is your boss just trying to be…

Like they say in any 12 step program... The first step is admitting you have a problem. :happy: I have just started learning about type 2 diabetes and its relationship to weight. I am sure you are aware that the two are not only linked, but affect each other. The good news is that I saw on Biggest Loser a contestant went…

Yeah, what they said... :laugh: If you have suddenly started running, you are exercising "new" muscles. That means you are fatiguing (tearing down) those muscles, causing your body to react. The way the body reacts, is to flood the cells with water (inflammation). Soooo, guess what, it is just like TOM: water retention. If…

Welcome!!!! Hope you have all the success you desire in ridding yourself of the "blobby" stuff. :laugh: You want suggestions? Well, for starters, click the link on my signature for my whole speil on developing a healthy lifestyle. But in addition: 1. If you don't already have one, get a wok and a crock pot/slow cooker 2.…

Hey there, it has been a rough couple days!! When you are fighting for your sanity, don't add the stress of your diet. It is ok to take a breather for a day or two. Will it stall your weight loss? It might, but so long as it is not a long term break, you shouldn't gain too much. More important than your diet is to be there…

I have to add my own: #10: Eat according to the food pyramid.

Dude... that is just wrong!!!! LOL

Whew... broke my sweat just reading this. :laugh: And, I have to agree with Jeteye... I don't know if the sweat is from the pushups or the math. :huh: :huh: :huh:

grill cheese is easy... set iron on wool... no steam butter 2 pieces bread, put 1 slice on iron board, butter side up... apply iron until bread toasted... flip put cheese on bread, top with 2nd slice, butter side up. apply iron until bread toasted and cheese melted.

Welcome to all the new comers!!!! :drinker: Sorry that so many of us ain't too serious here. :noway:

Maybe that's my sister's problem, no pectorilis muscles... she needs a falsie to break even!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good thing she doesn't have an account on here... or she would kill me!!! :grumble: :angry: :mad: :explode:

You know when you ride a bicycle or Casper's case a motor-scooter in the rain the muddy water from the rear wheel sprays up your back.... hence the term mud stripe.:wink: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
