Only a scale (which I live by) and a blender (that I hardly ever use) I have a food processor but only use it around the holidays. I read an article a while back that said that the more small appliances a person has on their counter tops the fatter the person. Thought it was interesting. I am a minimalist so a knife can do…

WOW! Gotta buy this! Amazing!

this! :)

my first week on here I asked this very question.Now after all this time i remember one answer. It was the best answer although at the time I was kinda pissed and thought it was rude. The person said something along the lines of "how hard is it to grab a spoon and eat a couple tablespoons of peanut butter to get to the…

getting ready to buy this one.....bump

wear what you have that is weather appropriate. Believe me, no one on the running path is judging you! I never really notice what other runners are wearing. lol. Running is not the time to worry about such things. Its our time! Most important things about what you wear: Your bra, your shoes and your attitude. lol

Love this one! Classic!

need to try this one! sounds like fun!

Southern girl here and country music is where my music stays.I just turn it on and go. Probably would not work for many. lol

I will have to order it! let me know what you think when you get it!

It took a while for my mind to catch up with my body. But now it is becoming more about fitness and less about weight loss. I am starting to focus on being healthy instead of being thin and while the weight is still coming off I have trouble with the compliments and the "wow how the heck are you doing it." I worry about…

this! especially number 10!

I am going to go against the grain here and say YES water is extremely important. I drink at LEAST 5 bottles a day. It keeps me from drinking sodas, keeps my cravings down and makes me feel better in general. I put the bottles on the top shelf of my fridge and make sure I drink them all each day. The benefits of drinking…

I agree with most every one else. Do what you enjoy doing! If you don't enjoy it, you probably won't keep with it! Everyone kept telling me my treadmill was worthless and I had to GO OUT and walk to lose wait (what?) I didn't want to go out at first because I was overweight and felt like everyone was judging ugggg. Anyhow,…

my biggest competition is me! First time in my life I am doing something just for me :)

first thought. Are you pregnant?

Good morning! I was looking for some food ideas and posted a question about it. I got some great ideas from it! Check out this https://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1120958-grocery-list-add-your-must-haves

I am afraid to tell you my opinion on this. Guys please remember this is my OPINION. I am not quoting anything scientific only what worked for me. I was on many other failed diets before I found MFP. All those diets plans considered fruits and veges "free foods." So instead of breaking bad habits, like say emotional…

whole wheat waffles ( no syrup) with fresh fruit , scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms, bananas on whole wheat muffins, leftover pizza, low fat ricotta cheese with fresh blueberries on top (yum), hard boiled eggs, cream of wheat with fresh fruit, and my personal favorite GNC chocolate lean shake!

5 foot 2 as well, 43. I stick to 1200 a day but eat my exercise calories back. I Gave up diet coke, drink about one sprite zero a day. Drink my water. Watch my sugar intake and upped my protein. I do Jillian Michaels videos and have just started running. But even the few weeks I haven't exercised I still lost weight…

Cool! I like this! It said You have a lower BMI than 85% of females aged 30-44 in your country AND I was most like someone from china. You have a lower BMI than 58% of females aged 30-44 in the world. Works for me!

Great idea!

Look at the "lighter side menus." I only order off those and I only order water at restaurants.Never order fried foods. Stay with broiled or baked and skip anything with gravies and order dressings, butter and sour cream on the side! Skip the sodas! I just came back from a five week trip and ate out all the time. I…

my kitchen scale, measuring cups and measuring spoons are my best friends! I am upgrading to a better scale this week. I jusst started with a cheap one from wal mart but really think its time to move on to a better one

lean protein shake from GNC or fruit with water in the blender with whey powder. Perfect for after a hard workout.

diet coke, Doritos and chips with french onion dip! I haven't had any since July and KNOW i can't because they are so addicting to me. I know no food is bad but these are just addicting for me. :)

I use both the website and the app to keep track of my foods. When I was on vacation I could not log on due to internet access for days at a time. It sucked! But what i do is log as while I eat, as soon as I eat and sometimes even log it while its cooking or waiting at a restaurant. This is the ONE time it is not rude to…

I like the one with you and you man. He is like "ya shes mine!" LOL Great dress in your profile pic as well, very cute.

4:27 AM here and yes, unfortunately I am up and wanting to go for a run. But gotta wait till the sun starts rising! lol (I dont run in the dark)

You are very correct my friend! Well said. It has taken me a very long time to understand that.
