Granted, but now you have to work twice as hard to burn as many calories... (lame!) I wish that sitting on my Butt would make me skinny! :tongue:

Really?! Wow! I'm so going to have to try it! Thanks!

What's all the hype with Apple Cider Vinegar?:ohwell: Has anyone ever tried ACV as a salad dressing? Any good recipes?:happy:

I'm on bc for medical reasons and I haven't gained any weight, I've actually been losing at a pretty steady pace. The name of mine is tri-sprintec, it's very low dose... Good luck!:flowerforyou:

ok, that's what I thought and I've always counted my calories, but then I heard about that other post where people were saying that they rarely counted the calories in veggies and it made me question what I've been doing. I guess I'll keep counting them then, what can it hurt right?! Thanks all!:happy:

Ok, I know this question has been asked before, but I cannot seem to find it in the history... Do any of you count the calories in your veggies? If not, why? The reason I'm wondering this is because I'm having a huge homemade salad for lunch. I, of course, would count the cals in the toppings like meat and cheese and…

I love olive oil! And I would definitely say don't cut it completely out of your diet... maybe just cut it down to a little bit a day. I found this website that states some health benefits of olive oil. Check it out. Also, I just googled "benefits of Olive Oil", so try that and then maybe you can decide better.…

When I started on MyFitnessPal I had 4 pairs of pants hanging on the back of my door. Then, I would try them on every couple of weeks. I can wear 3 of the 4 pairs of pants now, and the 4th I can get zipped an buttoned, but they're really tight... (1.5 months ago, I couldn't even get them to close by sucking in!) I use this…

I'm a Loan Processor at a local bank... No, I can't get any of you loans!:wink: I just write up all the documents that people sign to get loans.... Pretty Boring:ohwell:

It does for a while, but your body will get used to taking in that much water and you will eventually not have to pee as much! When you're peeing that much, it's because the water is flushing out the toxins in your body! Just give it some time! Good Luck!:flowerforyou:

Ha! Ha!:laugh: With that many calories! Anything you want!!!!!:happy:

I don't know how rollerblading would effect your knees and back, but I love doing that! and you can go outside and it's a lot easier to keep going, because you have more interesting things around you... Hope it helps!:flowerforyou:

My face does the same thing! What gets me really embarrassed is when I was going to Curves, the older ladies who were the instructors kept worrying about me, they're like, "Are you ok? Do you need to slow down? Take your heart rate please!" When really I was fine, my face is just naturally a little rosey and then you add…

I hang pants on the back of my bedroom door. Now, these are pants that are one to two sizes smaller than I am right now, then when I get into those pants, I send my old ones that are too big to charity and I buy new pants that are smaller and I hang them on my door! I guess, I use clothes as a visual motivation and then a…

Thanks! I agree, but can't really get a Heart Rate Monitor right now. I guess I'll just under estimate the calories for a little while... I guess that can't do much harm... as long as I'm careful

Oh I know! I love it here! I'm just trying to figure out how many calories I've burned rollerblading... MFP says 707 in 30 min, which seems like a lot! I tried fitwatch.com and it says 740 cals in 30 min which seems kind of high. I'm wondering how accurate these numbers are if anyone knows.

Has anyone ever used fitwatch.com to determine calories burned? How accurate is it?

I'm totally down with this challenge! Beginning Weight: 276.8 lbs. Current Weight 259.6 lbs. 4th of July Goal: 240 lbs Overall Goal: 155 lbs 19.6 lbs to July goal!

I completely agree! I'm so excited to go again tonight! Hopefully it stops raining, cause if it doesn't, I guess I'm getting wet! There is NO WAY I'm missing skating today!

Yay! Friday: 259.6!!!!! It's coming off! I don't think I'm going to make my goal of being 250 by May 26, but I'm going to keep trying! And, I have a date tomorrow night with this amazing guy who I have been so attracted to since last summer when I met him!:love: Wish me luck, I think I'm going to need it!:tongue:

you should also remember that although some people may eat whatever they want and never exercise, can you imagine what their heart looks like or their arteries, definitely not as healthy as yours. You are doing amazing! The fact that you're even trying to be healthy is a huge gold star to you! Keep it up! Push past this…
