  • I don't what COLD STONE is exactly so I can't relate but I do love Pizza and I do love Lays Potato Chips. If my family were to bring that into the house and eat it...I wouldn't be in the same room and I would insist they eat it all; but my svelte daughter and hubby just wouldn't do that to me. You really gotta wonder about…
  • NACHO CHICKEN BAKE Makes 4 servings 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts Pinch of salt 1/4 cup sour cream 2/3 cups chunky salsa 2 cups coarsely crushed nacho chips 1 cup grated aged cheddar or monterey Jack Preheat oven to 375F. Coat a small baking dish with olive oil ( I just put some olive oil on a papertowel and rub the…
  • I just threw my Nalgene No. 7 in the triangle bottle out...BPA..its not worth the risk. Too bad it was convenient and an excellent design. I guess I'll be shopping around for a Voss Glass bottle...sighs Refilling water bottles usually promotes bacterial growth..eww.. The danger with PET and BPA and other assorted plastics…
  • This will make you laugh...but I find hard rock bordering on metal really gets me through a strength training session....maybe its the attitude or the anger Iunno...so its like Linkin Park, Nickleback (cos I really like em),some Zepp, ZZtop, a lil Ozzy, PINK and ok...I do have one or two Marilyn Manson, Kid Rock and some…
  • Fabulous! You should be excited and proud! I know it seems like a long haul but its a proven fact the slower you lose the poundage the more likely you are to keep it off! Keep up the great work!:drinker:
  • GOOD LUCK!!! That sounds totally awesome! Sounds like it may be a little difficult at first but everyone doing anything like that always had a "first day". I'm sure you will do fine and hopefully have alot of support and fun too!
  • Sorry GTO ...I don't totally agree with you. Messing up ONE meal does not constitute messing up a whole day neither does it give you permission to mess up the next meal. Man! if you messed up brekky does that mean lunch and dinner have to be messed up? And if that were the case...YESSS a few mess ups would certainly…
  • With your sensible approach to things Banks...you might even try the 90/10 style of food consumption. That is, with your exercise regime in place, you eat "clean" 90 per cent of the time allowing yourself to eat what you want(keeping in mind it needs to be healthy food not junk) the other ten per cent of the time ~ its a…
  • Not a good idea. Your body needs fuel early in the day to optimize its function. (ie. Can you drive to work with no gas in your car's gas tank?) Timely put as just yesterday I had my first consult with a Personal Trainer/LifeCoach and his view to food consumption is an inverted pyramid with the most food being consumed at…
  • Nice try want to be....of course you have to count em...:laugh: Weight Loss still equates to burning off more calories than you eat. (:wink: that would be like saying you don't need to count a cookie if a bite has been taken out of it...)
  • BUMPING BANKS (LOL...in my whiny voice...how many cals do I burn for this?...:laugh: j/k) I blame an uninformed society for people "not getting" the fact that in order to lose weight, one must at least keep the body running optimally by eating. It also is a concern that some "bump" their calories with junk food vs. getting…
  • AS YOU SHOULD!!! Congratulations & Welcome to MFP! It is a proven fact that journaling what you eat as well as preplanning your meals are vital to success in reaching your goals. You are truly an inspiration and I am following in your footsteps!
  • Forget the weight. Get Better. And Get Back to It. Should you regain, it will be because your body, during a time of illness, does not function at its best. Don't sweat it...once you feel better and get back on the wagon (so to speak) any regain should just fall right off and that only works if you eat as properly and as…
  • :sad: Well today is my turn to experience the "diet glitch"...I've been doing well...mostly under points not over..eating healthy and balanced with very few tiny indiscretions and my WI netted me 3 extra pounds...Mannnnn I hate this about weight loss...why does it seem like rocket science sometimes??? sighs...Well I…

  • I agree Banks...the first thing I thought that perhaps her "good carb" amount is wayy too low.
  • Honestly, if you have a period or are menopausal such as in my case, if it's that stressful it's time to seek medical attention...there is something compromising your immune system and if a natural occurrence such as menstruation is causing illness....you should see a doctor. Granted it might be more difficult during those…
  • Eating a healthy well balanced diet and getting exercise daily should not be stressing you out!!! :laugh: This endeavour should be a lifestyle change not merely calorie restriction ~ unhealthy "fad dieting" would indeed stress a body out...:glasses:
  • No offense Jill....I understand where you are coming from as my best friend is a Nurse and I worked for doctors for years (GP's, Internist/Endocrinologist/ Haematology in a Hospital). I am aware of the nuances of medical practice under "normal" circumstances. Alot of Canadian Doctors have left the country...the Great…
  • Congratulations Amanda...That is totally awesome!!! Keep up the great work!
  • Hi...I am taking two GNC Women's Mega Vitamins without Iron per day
  • My name is Dianne and I am a salt-o-holic :laugh: If you "google" salt cravings, you will find that there is a connection with Adrenal Insufficiency which in my case "fits" because of hypothyroidism...the fact that I take Levothyroxin to make up the lack of proper thyroid hormones doesn't curb those cravings.
  • Discussing Weight Loss falls into the Sex & Politics Category....oooo Grass Cutting & Fertilizing tooo.....TABOO SUBJECTS to steer clear of.
  • That's a great attitude Rebecca...because ultimately you are the one thats gonna have to put those shorts on in the hot weather!!! :laugh:
  • My brekky is usually All Bran Buds with Psyllium Fibre, Fibre 1 with Honey Clusters (which provide 48% and 56% of one's daily fibre requirement respectively) and McCann's Steelcut Irish Oatmeal ~ another high fibre but hot cereal. WHY do I eat it? um....keeps one regular avoiding constipation and ultimately promotes a…
  • WoW... your affirmation was lovely hotmojo. Welcome to MFP and Good Luck on this journey! I don't do EEO (emotional eating outbursts) often but life happens...the trick is to hop on the wagon with the very next meal if you can...don't beat yourself up over it and get yourself into an exercise regime...even if it's just…
  • Hiya Pom...Under "Tools" you will find a BMR calculator...I have you at 1841 cals for a resting state based on the height, weight, gender and age that you stated. As far as cardio with your limitations, I would really be inclined to seek the adv ice of a physiotherapist in that regard. I know its tough with…
  • Ooops.... Duplication ERROR!!!
  • I understand your frustration dxeebelle ~ just go easy on yourself because prednisone isn't something anyone wants to HAVE to take...steroids are a terror. Another thing to placate yourself with...is whether you weigh 139 or you weigh 143 (pulling that out of the air) no one will notice except you and that won't probably…
  • (ya beat me to it Banks!!!...lol) Kaiya... are you happy in a size 8? do you look good? The 140 is a number...when someone looks at you...do they think 140? If you have kicking butt since last October, you eat and drink healthy and in healthy amounts, have you ever considered this is the weight your body aspires to via dna…
  • Thank You Everybody....It means alot to me!:flowerforyou:
