If you drunk the cat in beer batter, it would cheapen the quality of the cat but would provide the fat needed to help with the fur balls

hate to be technical, but if each cat is 5 lbs, that would be three tons of cats (best thread ever by the way)

It is Monday, and in spite of enjoying yesterday's breakfast at church a little too much. I lost a pound this morning when I weighed in. That puts me at 34 pounds down since January 4. I am tickled pink. Of course I did take 3 walks yesterday equaling 2 hours to burn the extra 900 calories I consumed. Today is a little…

lost one pound when I weighed in today, so I am on my way. 5 pounds to go

congratulations on your hard work.

you probably put yourself down as sedentary and said you wanted to lose more than two pounds a week. I would put you down as active and 1 pound a week. You can also choose to do change things manually. keep in mind that you probably would burn 1500-1800 calories if you were in a coma and not moving at all.

feel free to add me as a friend. I have about 100 pounds to lose, and have found several friends on here with similar goau ls to help make the journey more encouraging. Be sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies, make your grains whole grain, drink lots of water and begin moving as you are able. choose to lose slowly (1-2…

great idea. thanks

you did great. I still have 200 calories to burn to work off my day

As I find recipes, I will usually check the calories of items needed online and as I shop at the store check calories of various brands of items needed. Then I usually make my own recipe (under my recipes on this site). Then I divide it into how many servings I plan to make it. That way the calories are accurate. Sometimes…

our church alway has a brunch between services, so this was a planned "treat". I had the breakfast they had, and allowed myself 3 chocolate kisses and a mini twix candy bar. It was painful logging the food I had after getting home, but so far have taken two walks (one 50 minutes and the other 30 minutes). I will take one…

I don't think I would wait until morning--especially if you have had a heart attack in the past.

fantastic job.

I skimmed through the posts so perhaps I missed it, but did noone suggest upping the water intake? Lots of fiber needs lots and lots and lots of water. I would suggest a minimum of 10 glasses of water (not fluids but water) a day when you are doing high fiber I drink anywhere from 80-120 oz of water a day and have no…

Sunday Share: My name is Wendy, and I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am 54 years old and have struggled with my weight my whole life. I grew up on the east side of Michigan (Burton near Flint), went to college in Minnesota, taught in Missouri, moved back to Michigan and lived "up north" in Frankfort for a while before…

It has taken me years to find what works for me. I finally decided to study what healthy eating really is. I eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies. I buy broccoli and baby carrots (and do some variety to keep things interesting) and make baggie of a mixture of thre veggies for the week (every Saturday routine), so when I…

anyone know how to get the ticker to work? [/quote]

how is your water intake? drink lots of water. With your exercise you need to be hydrated anyway. I have heard you should drink half your body weight in oz of water. I try to drink anywhere from 80-96 ounces of water a day. (not include coffee, juice or other fluids--this is just water)

lots of fruits and veggies (fresh is best whole grains (probably keep to a minimum the week of weigh in) drink plenty of water keep sodium low (but sodium is necessary) Don't eat before weigh in that day. go to the bathroom before weigh in. empty pockets remove shoes (wear light clothing) you are weighing body weight not…

I don't have scheduled treat meals, I will do special days and occasional treats. Last weekend was my birthday, I allowed myself to enjoy a meal out with family on Saturday and went out to celebrate by myself on Sunday (my actual birthday) and was very good the rest of the week. I lost 1.2 lbs when I weighed in yesterday,…

Saturday success stories-- This week I have upped my physical activitys and now have a plan for those yucky days that I cannot get outside for exercise. I realize that it is supposed to be non-scale success, but finally getting off that 32 pound loss plateau and losing that 1.2 lbs really made my week. someone else listed…

jealously over your efforts and success and probably feeling guilty over choosing a buffet. In the same way that misery loves company, A binge longs for company and support as well.

I use a glycerin soap in the shower so most of my skin is fine only my hands and my cheeks (facial) are dry. I have no choice but to use a good soap at work. I do laundry for a living so I have to wash my hands when going back and forth between dirty and clean laundry (and from anything else and clean laundry) so soap and…

okay, I now have a few things to try --vitamin B complex (the one nutrition not available to monitor) here on mfp, fish oil (I am usually low on the fat column), and lots of lotion. I know most of the cause is winter and washing my hands constantly at work, but I have never had my hands be this dry before. Since I am on…

I drink plenty of water (usually between 80-120 oz a day)

thanks everyone.

I am in. I am 5'3" weigh 246 (today) 54 years old and would like to be 240 by April 30. (or more, but 240 would be realistic)
