I make regular meals and by the time my hubby and daughter get their food, I'm always left with the small portions anyway! Even if casserole is on the menu, I've been calculating the recipes and getting total finished weights so that I can portion an appropriate amount out for me and let them have at it. I'm lucky to have…

I also like my coffee and tea sweet. I prefer Truvia to help cut the sugar, but I've been drinking a flavored water with sucralose to replace my Southern super sweet tea. Sucralose doesn't taste sweet to me, it just covers the flavor of the water itself along with the flavoring. None of the artificial sweeteners taste…

I did after I realized that I didn't have to get them through Youtube. Not a Youtube fan, too disorganized and cluttered for me! I found lots of fun things to do this week. Thanks!

My girls had hula hoops and for some reason, we decided to hoop one day and I SUCKED at it! It took me weeks to work up from dropping after 5 revolutions, then 10 revolutions, then look! a whole minute! Finally, one night, I was frustrated but determined so I turned on the 90s Pop channel and that was it! I made it through…

I'm not that much of a drinker either and prefer a straw. I can sip on one bottle all day unless I workout. That's the only time I can down much of a bottle quickly. I've noticed that since I started drinking uncarbonated flavored water, I am drinking more than when I had only sweet tea. Well, I'm forcing myself to drink…

I forgot to mention, I've actually done better also, by not killing myself exercising anymore. I still workout 6 days a week, but instead of an hour walk plus interval workouts, I do shorter walks with 20-30 minutes of the interval type for 4 days a week then just longer walk workouts the other 2 days. I also throw in some…

Hate soft drinks fried foods, other than chicken and McD's fries which I rarely have White bread and many types of rolls I don't care for potatoes but have to cook them for the family so I still eat small amounts. I'd be in trouble if I liked them!

Not much. LOL Seriously, I didn't start losing until I cut calories to 1200 (though I eat a little over on exercise days). I was exercising 1 to 1-1/2 hours a day, 5-6 days a week using beginner levels of Jillian Michaels, Slim in 6, and Biggest Loser plus a 2-4 mile walk workout from Leslie Sansone (always the ones with…

I allow myself one cup of indulgent sugar-and-creamer coffee every morning. I gave up sweet tea, something I swore that I would die without, in order to keep that one cup of coffee. For years, I ate very little, usually just the evening meal, but drank my calories in sweet tea and coffee with a dry cereal snack. Since…

I can't answer the question, but wanted to say that I do this, too, and have for 15 years or more! It was a tip that went around when the Atkins Diet craze was getting started. I saw on another site to log as 95/5 if thoroughly rinsed with hot water. I've actually never realized it and always log whatever type of meat it…

I've been struggling with the same thing with the same results. I was actually still gaining weight with an hour of exercise per day and eating about the same (before MFP). The only thing that has helped me is to limit to just over 1200 calories and burning off a few hundred per day. I've actually started having some…
