I would say go for pancakes that use all whole wheat flour. You are definitely going to have to use some type of flour, but at least stay away from refined or bleached white flour. Then if you look up a recipe with pancakes, you know what you're putting into it instead of using a mix. Look in the organic section at the…

Thanks for the responses, guys. You all told me what I needed to hear. I think that what I know is in my food is way better than all the other toxin-ladeled ingredients. I definitely won't be making a habit of this anyway. I prefer the satisfaction of getting up extra early to plan and prepare my meals on a daily basis. It…

Yeah, I've tried it once upon a time. Before I could see any results, I was sick of it. It is tooooooooo limited; much like Slim Fast. Sure, I can eat cereal all day; if it's Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Cap't Crunch, but not this..And there is too much sugar in disguise (high fructose corn syrup, etc) in there for my liking.…

I love my avacadoes as well, but they are so calorie dense that one avacado is more than 300 calories! That's my whole lunch practically! So, it's more of a treat than anything even if its considered a "healthy" fat.

Had the whole container of Green Giant's brussel sprouts in butter sauce (so yummy, I could eat another box!) and a BLT that consists of Oscar Mayer's Pure Cooked bacon (the stuff you don't have to cook..4 slices is only 70 cals), Natural Ovens Weight Sense whole wheat bread (1 slice=50 calories) and a slice of tomato and…

I think I know how you all feel. I don't know if I would call this person a "one upper", but she definitely warrants the same type of behavior as one. Comments such as this: HER: How's the "diet" going? Are all your vitamins and psycho workouts and not eating **** working for ya? ME: Well, 3 weeks into this, I have so much…

I start the day with an iced coffee, but I don't count it either. Once I get to work, i still have coffee, but have the water bottle next to it. I start to see that I barely touch the coffee and tend to drink the water more. Maybe that helps to get the water down. IDK..I can't seem to get 8 glasses of water in a day. I…

I definitely am an iced coffee addict too. With Starbucks right around the corner from work, went there up to three times a day until they cut out their 53 cent refill policy. Then I started to see how expensive my Unsweetened Venti Iced Coffee with room got to be. I started buying my own and haven't been to Starbucks or…

Definitely in the same boat. Every morning when I got to work and turned on my computer, I would immediately log on to Facebook. Now, I go to MFP first. Not to just to log in my food or exercise, but to just see what the daily topics are off the bat. It's that kick of motivation I need to start my day off right! Just to…

Thanks guys for the tips. Here's what I did: Since we go to a steak house for happy hour since the drinks are cheap and strong, and they have free food which usually consists of veggies, dip, nachos, cheese and crackers, and a different meat hors d'oeveres (sp?) choice, i usually snack on the veggies. But before I get…

Is this the same person? I work with a beyotch in my office too. Twice a day she comes in with McDonald's or Taco Bell. Once for breakfast, once for lunch. Even while I am eating my crab salad or whatever homemade meal I bring EVERY day, she will ask if want anything...She knows I go to the gym (also have one in my office…

I can totally feel you! And that's a lot of the reason I do not weigh myself. But it's true..a positive outlook is where it begins. I have found that when I beleive I will lose weight, every thing will fall into place..But it starts with my mental state first. Now, don't get me wrong, I would love the food you mentioned…

This is a really good topic. I have a 5 year old daughter. And I'm scared. I mean, my mom was overweight and I watched her diet all the time. And I wish my mom would have taken the time to educate herself on how to properly diet and maintain weight, but she just had a love/hate relationship with food. Plus, I think she was…

No doubt. I tried this Acai blend pill and it made me feel like I was going crazy. Too much caffeine, guarana, etc. But probably more caffeine than anything. I immediately stopped taking it.

I have a desk job too. I am able to leave though, but primarily at the desk. I am lucky to have a gym where I work so that's what I do at lunch. I have brought ankle weights and wore them and do leg lifts. I also bring my 5 pound steel weight and do bicep curls and tricep dips. I also will swing that weight as I"m trying…

Biggest Loser Yoga......totally kicks your *kitten*..I learned yoga on the Wii Fit Plus because it takes you step by step instead of consistently..well, you can program it to be consistently, but good teacher..

steamed broccoli with some garlic salt, or edadame, or sugar snap peas..all steamed. Scrumdilicous!

You should see a blinking, reddish, orange thing on your "home" page where it says "Alert: You have one friend request". Click on that!

I definitely agree. You shouldn't eat the instant oatmeal; yet the Quaker oats out of the round box, or any other non-instant kind. Also, something I also try to get some joy out of oatmeals is a cranberry-oatmeal muffin recipe. However, I use very little brown sugar and only use whole wheat flour..And also you can use as…

I also think that when we say "dieting", others tend to think of it as temporary. I don't really look at what I'm doing as "dieting", but I'm not going to go into detail how I'm on a journey to a healthier lifestyle, etc, and explain all the things I am doing, so I just say I'm dieting or watching what I eat. With that…

I have to agree with you. I only drink diet soda with my Canadian Club. I don't miss my diet coke whatsoever. I don't miss the money I spent on it, and I certainly don't miss the bloated feeling I would get from it. I used to crave diet coke. I still drink a little coffee, but mostly, I have opted for diet snapples. I…

I just had to rant about this because where else can I do it? My rant has to appeal to someone on here, and guess what? it does. I don't mean to come off negative, but I just don't have a lot of support in this area. I ***** to my boyfriend, and he agrees; he sees it with our friends. But since he's not on this journey…

I totally like that idea about the restricitve clothing. That sounds good! I will try that, except that I hate how I look in all my clothing..But anyway.. one thing I know is that since being on here, and with a few of my friends, I have let everyone know I'm doing this, and if everyone sees me eating the fried food buffet…
-
I agree with jessieinblue. I have tried a lot of OTC diet pills, and most of em have made my heart race so fast because they contain a lot of caffeine. After a day or two, I can't stand the jittery feeling, so I stop. But what has helped me is natural vitamins and supplements like bee pollen and Vitamin B. It takes a few…

Awesome.. i totally agree. Last year, I lost 30 pounds because I had a "diet buddy". Despite her living 5 hours away in Minneapolis, we talked, texted, emailed, FBed constantly. If I wanted to eat chocolate, I'd let her know and she'd talk me out of it. If I felt lazy and didn't want to work out, she'd get on my *kitten*…

I have always wanted my belly button pierced, but never did since there's a big tired overlapping it. I also want to dump the whole jean closet (Right now, I only fit into 3 jeans out of 16 pairs..Sad), and totally shop for altogether new ones to show off my new size. Of course, a new swimsuit, and new dresses. I want to…

I definitely need to be part of this group! I am an avid Whiskey drinker myself. Many of my friends go out, and that's how I see a lot of them. I live in Madison, WI, and this is the culture...And since I have to "share" my daughter with her dad, it's a few nights a week, me and the man can indulge in some happy hours.…

I will send you a request.

I know about frustration. Since I joined on here about 2 weeks ago, I will absolutely NOT check the scale. I had my boyfriend hide it. So, I honestly don't know if I had any changes in my weight. I don't want to know either because I think it's too soon. So, I recommend to tweak your diet (forget the Crystal Light and…

No, no, no. Do not stop eating your veggies. Broccoli, of course, had calories, but it's wonderful for you. It has a lot of benefits more than just low calories. It provides a lot of protein and vitamins and minerals as well. So stick with it despite it has some calories.
