  • Hi Becky! I've got a 17 yo daughter and a soon to be 3 yo son! I don't do strenuous exercise, I've been mostly walking (I'm training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in San Francisco in July) and I do the elliptical (don't know if that is too strenuous for you or not?) I've also been doing free weights along with the…
  • Gorgeous! Great Job!
  • I second that! I do 45 minute workouts during the week but since I have begun training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, I have lots of training to do on the weekends! I'm up to a two hour walk! I also try not to eat all of my workout calories as well....so my reasoning is the same as yours! I actually ate something…
  • I always measure after it's cooked.
  • Do a little research online for others and compare? Or double-check it out the next time you go to the store? At leas that's what I'd do . . . :-)
  • Aloha and welcome! On the same boat!!
  • I was just thinking about how to do that this morning! Thanks for the info! Also a little bummed that only 175 cals! but better than nothing!
  • My daughter just signed up she's 5'4" and 185 lbs. and she got 1500 calories . . . I guess it all depends on the numbers that you plug in, based on height and current weight??
  • Welcome aboard! On the same boat! Good luck to you!
  • Can you bring your own healthy snacks?
  • Pat yourself on the back and keep it up! 10 lbs is GREAT!
  • I am totally on the same boat! I'm married and have two kids (17 yr old daughter and 2 1/2 yr old son). I find I have the same problems when I'm at home and with my busy schedule of work and going home and taking care of EVERYONE, dinner, homework, little one, clean up, etc....I feel my biggest challenge is at home where…
  • I'm on a I200 per day as well and the calories do go fast!! I find the 100 calorie packs good for quick snacks to take with me or for breakfast, I do a cup of cheerios and some ff milk I also do Luna bars for breakfast or snacks ...just throw in the bag and good to go!
  • You can TOTALLY do that! Welcome and good luck!!
  • LOVE THEM! I'm a sweet tooth! I always have to eat something sweet after lunch and dinner. They are the same exact thing as the real except a smaller portion size. They are just enough sweet that I need to curb the sweet craving!
  • Welcome! Lost 7 lbs so far...seems to be working for me if I stay focused, count calories diligently and try to get some workouts in! Good luck to you!
  • Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add if you need some friends!
  • Thanks ladies for the input! Just scared 'cause I've never done fundraising like that before but I have lots of contacts that should hopefully come through for me and with the fundraising, comes the committment to walk the miles . . . was thinking that this would also help me with my personal exercise goals . . . gotta put…

  • Sorry, I agree with jlb123 . . . that's what got me where I am too. Plus, even if you are going out, you can still order a little healthier and not go all hog wild . . . choose some healthier options on the menu or split something or get what you really want to eat and only eat half of it. I did the same thing, there are…
  • Ha ha! I feel the same way so I try to stay away as much as possible! The smells really get to me, the yummy greasy mcD's fries . . . I love fast food but happy to announce that I haven't eaten it in such a looooong time that I kinda don't miss it, though if I entered a McDonald's I would go CRAZEE and order (and eat!) way…
  • Was also just looking at how much weight lost! 225 lbs!! Truly an inspiration for me to get past my measley 7! That is awesome!
  • Welcome! Feel free to add if you need a MFP friend!
  • In order to take care of our kids, we HAVE to take care of ourselves!! Feel free to add if you want new friends!
  • Totally not an expert here, but what I calculated what my calorie intake for the day should be and just started reading labels and trying to stay within that calorie goal per day and it's been working for me! I read every label, I preportion all my meals, it's a bit sickening but it's working for me!! Watching the calories…
  • But . . . we still lose calories from it even thought it doesn't calculate it right?
