  • Check out www.idealyouweightloss.com - they have pages and pages of recipes and I guarantee you could probably find something! I found GREAT recipe for pancakes on there, made from the crispy cereal though, if you're looking for a good pancake!!! Crush your crispy cereal package, add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to it; in…
  • Hey everyone. I found a great website last night with so many phase one recipes (I was SICK of the same ol veggies)... here it is - idealyouweightloss.com Check out the tips & recipes... lots of good ideas if you're getting bored, like me! :)
  • Hang in there, all!!! I just finished week 3 of IP... I was pretty discouraged this week because my scale wasn't budging, despite ramping up my workouts, and not cheating. I just weighed in, and although I was only down 2 pounds, I have lost FOUR pounds of FAT during the past week (my water was up 2 lbs -- ate something…
  • I agree with this - and look for LaCroix water! I LOVE it. It's fizzy like pop, but it's just carbonated water - they have numerous varieties, lime, lemon, grapefruit, orange, raspberry... All of it with no sugars, no artificial sweetner, no caffeine, nothing.. so no carbs either! It completely helped me quit drinking diet…
  • Absolutely!! And you look FORWARD to putting on a bathing suit and hitting the beach... can't WAIT for that one. :)
  • Sara, THE ANSWER -- ABSOLUTELY! But It won't "HAPPEN TO YOU" - RATHER YOU WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. The thing I have learned in the past couple of months using this site, is it's ALL IN MY CONTROL - nobody is going to do it for me. I either want it or I don't. I wasn't happy with my weight or body, and in the past I would join…
  • Yes, a HRM is a GREAT purchase..you won't regret it! The calorie database for exercise on MFP vary a LOT so I really recommend buying one. I have a timex that I love, but I've heard great things about the Polar brands too. I use mine all the time - even wore is skiing one day, just to see... :) It makes working out more…
  • Something that has worked for me so far... I set a reasonable and attainable goal for myself - 30 lbs in 6 months. It's like 1.25 lbs/week or so. The next thing I did was create a custom calendar for myself. I only do one month at a time, and I have a blank every Tuesday for my "goal" and my "actual" weight. I can ONLY…
  • This is a great topic..thanks for posting. I'm single at 40..never married and no kids. I'm constantly asked why I'm "still single." It gets old. But like others have said, I would rather be alone and happy than miserable with someone I'm not supposed to be with. Lately, I've started to question the idea that we are all…
  • Seriously, this salad dressing COMPLETELY changed how I feel about salads! Lucini, cherry rosemary balsamic dressing - I can only buy it at Safewhere where I live. http://www.amazon.com/Lucini-Balsamic-Rosemary-Artisan-Vinaigrette/dp/B001TM7LS2 I make a salad with lettuce (romaine usually), craisins, avocado (if I can…
  • I have egg whites every morning... and I used to be a cereal addict! I buy the cartons of egg whites because they are just easy. I spray a small bowl with Pam, pour in the egg whites (with salt and pepper) and throw in the microwave for 1 min, 20 seconds. I usually top with salsa. You can also throw in other ingredients…
  • You look super - Good job and thanks for sharing!!! It gives me motivation. :)
