I've also done both. Weight Watchers is expensive and if you don't keep up with the membership and they change something it's hard to continue counting points. I prefer MFP. It's free and a calorie will always be a calorie and there is no secret way to calculate how many you should be eating. The forums here are a lot more…

I think you can would get to 1200 if you add some protein and more calorie dense veggies and fruits. Add a banana, some greek yogurt, nuts or nut spreads or beans. They are all higher in calories and a small amount of them to your meals will bump up the calorie counts enough to get you there.

I got an extra 30 minutes in today at the pool. I'm always at or under my calorie goal. As long as I eat at home I'm pretty safe. Eating out is my downfall but I'm getting better.

I'll be going to the gym in a few hours to work out for an hour in the pool. So far this has been working for me. Now that cold weather is moving in I plan on adding some different exercises and lifting weights. I seriously need some muscle. The pool is great for cardio and getting back some flexibility. I'm averaging…

I always bake the meatloaf covered and uncover it for the last 15 minutes or so to brown the top a bit. At this point you can put something on top to add some moisture and flavor. There are lots of options. I make a turkey and quinoa meatloaf that calls for spreading a mixture of brown sugar, Worcestershire and a little…

I've made them in the slow cooker. Make a large batch and refrigerate. Warm up a portion in the microwave when you want to eat. I just add a little milk,Truvia and cinnamon when I want it sweet but sometimes I just add some margarine.

Our nutritionist told us we could estimate about 300 calories for an hour of water aerobics. I believe the heavier you are and the deeper the water the more calories you will burn. At least that is what I've been told.

Does your gym have a pool? We just started taking aqua aerobics classes and they are a good workout but fun and easier on the joints. I hate working out but I love this and it gives me a good workout.
