  • GO BEAVERS!!!!! I feel your pain - went through it last year and starting again on Saturday. Good advice above - try saving up some calories from the week before, or the week after (if you are not tailgating every Saturday). Plan your meals - add some more veggies or fruit into the mix - cut out or cut-down on cheap…

  • you didn't think....??? GO BEAVS #2 in the nation!
  • Jimica - the best - especially with a little lime on it. Cut in sticks, or slice thina nd enjoy. Another trick - although it take some practice toget the consistency right is to slice jimica thin, and bake - they become like tortilla chips but very few calories
  • [/quote] Because bumping up my calories scares the crap out of me! Like I said I'm doing well with my weight loss and I'm happy with it. :ohwell: Just don't want to mess it up. [/quote] Then be patient - just keep eating at a deficit. Redo your goals on MFP since you have lost more than 10 pounds to adjust to the changes…
  • Oh no!! the dreaded "S" word!! - carefull you might be banned for using it!! Do you mean science like these articles, http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/03/22/do-juice-cleanses-work_n_1372305.html http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/11/juice_cleanses_not_healthy_not_virtuous_just_expensive.html…
  • Totally in for the kick-*kitten* comments, crushing of spirits, and the "Don't confuse me with facts - tell me the stupid and costly thing I am about to do is ok!" responses.
  • Since a lot of the entries are user entered, there is a lot of very bad and misleading info in the foods - you need to be careful to check, especially if you are using fresh foods, and making stuff yourself. Also, the quantities are allover the place - for example- 1 sweet potatoe - what does that mean?? To verify I use:…
  • From a guy's perspective. My wife gets waxed and it is awesome! According to her... the first few times it hurt, but then the hairs become more fine and it hurts less and less - lasts about 6-8 weeks.
  • This X 100!! It seems like you are thinking you have to give up food.. you don't! Just control more what you eat. One of the most powerful features of MFP is knowledge. Log your food intake, even if you don't make any changes and you can see tha mount of calories you are eating. Then adjust - cut out a little here or a…
  • Good receipe! I use ground chicken in place of ground beef in just about every receipe - is great in tacos, burritos, and if you like Thai Food is great in Thai salads. Note for cpcoursec: Avatar pic taken at Rogue Brewery - Newport Bayfront!
  • Be excited! great start and clothes are a great motivation!! I got some of my favorite Tommy Bahama shirts altered and just got them back from the tailor this week - he took 14 inches of material out of the sides - shirts effectively went from a XXL to a Large Tall - I am wearing one every day this week to celebrate!
  • First to answer your question... if you want to get your heart rate up, and workout at home - try doing bodyweight exercises that focus on all parts of your body - a good start is: www.nerdfitness.com and there are a lot of good bodyweight sites out there. If you do a rotation of these types of exercises - like 3 sets each…

  • Great start! Walking is great, and don't try to do it all at once. Work up - 3mph then work up to 4mph. (If you have knee pain, ellipticals can be great) Do exercises - not tapes - and do what you can - bodyweight exercises are great - pushups, planks, simple squats with a ball against the wall, different abdonimals - bird…

After a couple weeks add other bodweight exercises for different parts of the body. I can work-out anywhere - gym, home,hotel, etc. - great workouts, and you can customize and change around…
  • I use the "ellipitcal" 3-4 days per week. I use quotes, because there are alot of different ones out there - some which can be very good, some which can really overstate how many calories you burn. In general, I always knock off 20% of whatever calories the ellipitcal tells me, which is much lower than the MFP calculation.…
