I don't really like the mush of oatmeal either so I eat it raw - lots! I do 1/3c large flake oatmeal plus 15g (1tbsp) peanut butter and mix it up well. Then I add a small (or half) banana or apple. It's pretty yummy actually, I much prefer this texture!

I really like 1/3 cup uncooked oatmeal mixed with 1 tablespoon peanut butter, with either a cut-up (small) banana or cut-up (small) apple added to it. I started adding less water and cooking my oatmeal less and less because I wasn't loving the mushiness anymore, then one day I decided to try it raw. It's super yummy!

Sounds good!

Yum!

I've never had an artichoke that wasn't in a dip and that hadn't been canned, so I'm looking forward to seeing some new recipes to try!

BUMP!

Yum! Some great sounding recipes!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A heart rate monitor might be nice to have, but is not at all necessary to be successful! I have my activity level set to sedentary and I eat back my exercise calories as estimated by MFP and I've lost 35 pounds in about 4 months. About 5 weeks ago I actually bumped up my net intake to at least 1500 calories (I'm 5'8") and…

Made this tonight and neither my husband nor I could even eat it. It didn't taste like alfredo sauce at all, even with some attempts at tweaking it. Very disapointing!

I *kinda* started C25K recently. (I haven't decided if running is something I want to commit to yet, but for now I'm going with it.) I've been wondering what kind of pace other people are doing it at. I use a treadmill and warm up and do the walking intervals at 3.5 mph and am at 5 mph for the jogging intervals. My…

YUP!

What the heck! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Come back, boys! I hadn't heard the numbers, but 2.4 million in BC for game 6 is impressive. Aparently the provincial governement was suppsoed to have something on tonight about the HST but they cancelled it since they knew everyone would be tuned in to the game.

Hahah I was mostly kidding. But it has seriously been intense!

I feel like you've been in my head the last couple days because I can totally relate! I'm nearing the three month mark and I am so exhausted from the constant obsessing over food. Let me know when you find the secret to getting re-energized. Good luck.

Bump. Just tried quinoa for the first time the other night and I'm looking for new recipes to try...

Never would have thought of these for a pizza, but yummm!

My biggest motivator for weight loss is baby hopes! My husband and I have actively been trying to conceive for 2 years, and were casually "seeing what happens" for the three years before that. I did manage to get pregnant 11 months ago, but miscarried in my first trimester, likely because of my PCOS. Hoping this weight…

Yes. BUT machines and the mpf database tend to over estimate calories burned during exercise (in my opinion) so I shoot for eating about 2/3 back, or so.

I can relate... well, sort of. I worry that I'll still RELY on "tools" like mfp in order to function and maintain once I reach a healthy weight. If it's truly a lifestyle change then I'd like to LIVE without NEEDING the internet every time I eat. I think the idea is to learn how to eyeball healthy portions of different…

HAHAHA

I think I may have to start the Chocolate Chip Muffin Diet: 4 meals per day, each consiting of one muffin and 3/4 cup of whole milk! (I wish I was joking more than I actually am...)

Every recipe sounds so yummy! Wish I had something worth adding...

While it's true that a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat... the SAME VOLUME of muscle weighs more than the SAME VOLUME of fat.

Definitely has some potential.

Good for you. However, I can't see how not eating clean would be my current problem. People lose a lot of weight all the time by just watching calories, not paying any attention to nutirional value whatsoever. And I don't think my diet is all that terrible. There is certainly room for improvement, and improving myself is…
