Take control. Just say no. Just do it :)

Get better snacks!! I love fruit so that works for me, but there's always better things you can snack on that won't ruin your calorie count. Here is a really good recipe for fruit dip that might make fruit better to eat: 1 C. Sour Cream 2 T. Brown Sugar 1 t. Vanilla Mix the three ingredients together, then refrigerate 1-2…

What does this mean.

This site will change your life :) Welcome!!

so jealous...can't wait for that day!!!!!

Yeah I add each ingredient separately.

I totally stayed on the wagon this weekend, and I'm so proud! We had a party at my parents' and we had tons of fruit and healthy dips laying around...we also made pizzas on english muffins. It worked fabulously!! We did pushups for every point scored and I burned 100 cals on the treadmill during that dreadful halftime show…

Yes maam!!

Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds....AGREED ON THAT ONE!!

I'm in the same boat right now. I'm doing everything right with calories, exercising 4-5 days a week, and I'm dropping about .2 or .3 a week. ANNOYING!!!!!

A new wardrobe! I would really love single digit pant sizes too :)

Looks great, thanks!

I love before and after pics - congrats!!

I'm so with you on that!! My original goal was to exercise 3 days a week, but it's usually like 4 or 5 because I just LOVE entering it into the site! Totally not a dorky thing by the way :)

Haha I saw the same ad. Pretty funny that someone is going to make money off of that because, guaranteed, people will buy it!

Turbo Jam is really fun and can be difficult

Congrats on the wedding!

Wow, I'm so impressed!! Thanks for the motivation!

I do lunges at work when I walk to the water fountain and I sometimes do squats while I'm blow drying my hair in the morning! Don't lose your steam! When you crave something, think about after, how it's not really as satisfying as you'd thought. Just say no! Take control :)

I can't wait for that day! Thanks for the motivation, and congratulations!

I will take it too!! So important to remember the good things... :)

I like this! My Goals for February: 1. Exercise AT LEAST 4 days a week 2. Drink 8 glasses of water per day 3. 5 minutes of exercise at work every day 4. Lose 5 lbs 5. Keep logging in on MFP

Did you mark that you want to lose weight? If so, MFP gives you a number of calories to eat that is less than your BMR so you will lose weight. If you burn more calories than you intake, you lose weight.

P90X is all about building muscle. He should do more cardio if he wants to lose weight.

Yes it's true. Half your body weight in ounces is a good amount.

Subway is always my go-to. Filling, delicious, and good for you!! Can't go wrong there!

I would guess that different machines have different intensity levels. That could change the amount of calories burned. Maybe MFP has their numbers from a higher intensity level. If the machine asked you for your weight, I would go with the machine's numbers.

I go over on protein every day and I didn't think it was a bad thing either. I would also like to know if it really matters!

Quaker makes flavored rice cakes that are pretty low cal. They taste like chips but they're so much better for you. I think I'll have them at my party :)

Well you've burned calories, so in order to hit your calorie goal for the day, you'll have to consume more. If you eat 1200 calories in a day, then burn 300, you've really only had 900 calories for that day. So it's up to you if you want to fill those calories, but they are subtracted from what you've consumed.
