I used to get embarassed if someone walked in, but now not so much. I usually make the kids go outside but that's only because I know they will get in my way. Good luck!

Thanks everyone!! These are all great ideas. And I LOVE avocados & nuts! I will head to the store tomorrow.

Very cool! I will bookmark it!

Thanks for the info!

I know how you feel!! And sometimes I'm just sick of working out. But I also know it has to be done and that no one is going to do it for me. Keep it up! I know you can do it!!

I usually weigh myself every day that I work, which is usually 3 or 4 days a week. My goal is to start weighing myself the first & last day I work each week. I've NEVER been a jogger but now I am. I go at 6am when the streets are empty. I'm stomach heavy with hardly anything up top. Good luck & don't give up!

YUM! We love popcorn!!! Will definitely try this!! Thanks!!

I would also have to do something different. I walk/jog 2 miles Mon - Fri and I get really sick of it sometime. I also workout with Jenny McCarthy for 15 minutes Mon - Fri. On the weekends I'm trying to do the Jenny Mc game twice a day on the weekends.

I think I've put myself into starvation mode too. I can definitely eat more, just afraid that I'll end up going overboard and eat the whole pan of whatever. This really stinks tho. I worked out really good over the weekend & definitely didn't overeat and only ended up losing 1 pound since Thursday. I'm happy I lost and…

Thanks! I was looking for ground chicken recipes earlier today! I'll bookmark your site. :)

I've diced them really small before and added them to spaghetti sauce or other sauces. I like a lot of veggies in my salads, but the smaller the pieces are, the harder it is to get them on my fork. If I'm hungry, I want to be able to stab the salad with my fork and eat, not search for the tiny veggies!

Welcome to MFP!!! You will love it & it will keep you motivated to lose more weight!

This morning my husband & I left our house at 9:41am and got back 10:32am. I have started using the stopwatch on my phone for when I jog.We jogged 16 minutes and walked 26 minutes. I haven't been to the gym since sometime last year. And I am walking/jogging outside all the time. When I'm at work, I walk/jog on my 10 minute…

Great job! My highest was 240ish after having my 2nd kid. I've been on here for almost a month and I've lost 15 pounds!

I've been on here for close to a month and I can honestly tell you, I wouldn't have lost the weight if it weren't for this site! I LOVE IT!!!! Good luck with your weight loss!!

Weekends are usually tough for me because our finally together. I work day shift, my husband works 2nd shift, our son has summer school M - Th, and we also watch 2 other kids during the week. I'm the only one that needs to watch my I eat and it's easier to do when my husband isn't around. He eats anything & everything and…

Baked or broiled tilapia with homemade low sodium salsa, brown rice, corn on the cob (maybe), broccoli & cauliflower, and fresh fruit & vanilla yogurt for dessert.

I feel like that a lot but I'm almost to the point where I don't miss all the food. If Joe & the kids have pizza, I make a small pizza with my 35 calorie a slice bread and add veggies and a slice or two of healthy turkey or chicken. If they have spaghetti, I'll have a healthy frozen spaghetti dinner. If they have…

Wow!

I would count it as Friday because you haven't gone to bed yet.

One of our local Chinese restaurants has a grill. We can choose the meat, veggies, cooking sauce, & extra sauce after it's cooked. See if there is a local joint that has a grill like that. That might be the best way to go. Chinese food is my husband's FAVORITE! I gave in and went to a different place with him last week.…

This website has actually been keeping me motivated. I'm actually afficted to checking the app on my phone. I hate seeing red numbers! I've NEVER had the inkling to run, but now I do. I'm not the best at it but I figure that any running (well jogging) is better than nothing. Here's what I just posted on facebook. I hope it…

I started on here on May 17th with just exercising with the Jenny McCarthy Your Shape game on the Wii for 15 minutes. Now I've worked up to a 2 miles walk/jog in about 33 minutes, a 10 minutes walk/jog on my break at work, and I also have noticed that I have a ton more energy! While the kids were in the tub tonight, I…

I have vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit, bowl of cereal, healthy toast with little peanut butter, oranges, apples, carrots. The other day there were 4 bags of opened chips & 1 bag of unopened chips in the kitchen. I pushed past those and got my yogurt with fruit! I was so proud of myself!!! I even put some on my son's plate…

I'm definitely going to try making these! My husband LOVES Chinese food and it's never healthy to eat. We went for Chinese buffet last night. I did pretty good on not getting a lot of sauce with the foods but I still figured about 1000 calories!!!! WAY TOO MUCH!! As I said, I will DEFINITELY be making these recipes!!

That is so AWESOME!!! My sister is doing Insanity and she likes it. Maybe I'll try it sometime!

I eat mine plain or add crushed pineapple or grapes (cut in half).
