There is an amazing recipe in The Passover Table by Susan Friedland for Vegetable Cutlets- we made them tonight and they look amazing. There is only a little bit of Matzah meal in it along with only two tablespoons of oil. Let me know if you all want the recipe.

I am worried about Passover too but I think we should be fine as long as we stay away from too much Matzah or sweets. I just made this really great recipe for Vegetable Cutlets and I can't wait to have them tomorrow night. We have a few vegeterians going to our seder tomorrow and we wanted to make something special for…

Figure out the time you spend on each and log each one individually. I have to do that when I move from the elliptical to the bike or walking the dog. You burn differently with each so I always want to make sure I get the correct credit for each. I want to do a 5k sometime soon myself- good luck to you on your journey!

Check out the On Demand fitness packages if you have a company that does extra channels. There are several 15-30m programs that are excellent. I like to do the dancing ones, but have enjoyed some of the more involved programs, like the ones from Jillian Michaels. Good luck!

We have some 100 calorie sandwich thins that are really good if you put some shredded cheese on them and make a grilled cheese breakfast. One sandwich with 1/4 cup of shredded kraft mexican cheese mix is about 210 calories. Or you can do peanut butter instead of cheese on them to have a little more flavor.

I really like the royal chocolate ones- they help with the sweet tooth problem that I've been having without the guilt. Good luck!

I like to drink a lot of water when I start getting hungry. It is very filling and you don't have to worry about empty calories. If you want, add the flavor packets, they can make the water more exciting. Not to mention that water helps you lose weight. Good luck.

Thanks- congrats to you as well over your weight loss.

I've been using old pop songs from middle school and high school- my favorites lately have been N*SYNC and Madonna (old and new)

Thanks- same to you on your loss already. I'm so glad that my sister found this program!

I love the elliptical trainer at the gym. It seems to work everything and I feel like I did something well when I get off of it exausted. It combines a stair and treadmill motion, along with making you move your arms. Plus it burns a ton of calories.

Good luck with your goals- I am loving this site and have been recommending it to everyone I know (even strangers in the grocery store :smile: ) I have a large goal myself but this site is doing more for me than what I've done on my own in the past two years.

I love this program and I am a big eater. My best suggestion is drinking lots of water- it helps keep you full and makes you feel better the more you have. Good luck with everything!

I love MFP- I am also looking to add new people and would love the extra help in motivation! Good luck all!

I use crystal light, diet snapple, and totally fit 4-c packets. We have a few 20oz bottles at home and just throw one packet in for 20oz of water. The packets are for 16.7 oz but are too strong at that level. A little more water gives you a less sweet taste. My favorite ones have either caffine, metabolic boost or fitness…

I usually shoot for 8 glasses, or about 64oz (half of a person who weighs 128lbs). If I went for half my weight I would be be closer to 18 glasses which feels a bit crazy to me. I found that if I drink much more than eight to 10 glasses, I feel almost bloated with water. I'm trying to build up to higher amounts but if you…

I like the slim fast shakes on days where I don't have time for a full meal but need something before working out. The cappachino ones are pretty good. Skip the vanilla- it just tastes a bit off. I just bought the chocolate ones today and will let you know how they taste if you'd like.

Thank you everyone! I think a trip to grocery store is in my very near future to stock up.

I usually try to keep it to once a week by going over by no more than 300 calories. I usually just work extra hard at the gym the day before or after to make up for it.

My sister went to Hibachi last week and was also concerned about what to get. I believe she did chicken and scallops as the best health option. I like to use the Livestrong website to figure out calories for eating out.

I usually weigh myself once a day just to see how much my weight changes. According to the Wii fit program, your weight can fluctuate 2 pounds per day, so I usually record each day and do an average. My offical weigh in for the week is on Sat. morning right after I wake up and use the bathroom. I obsess a little with the…

My sister and I are loving My Fitness Pal. We joined almost a month ago and we are already seeing some changes. Good luck with everything! Jill
